Hi all. Day 23 for me, few wobbles and the odd 'crikey i could really have one now' but not been near to buying any so i am staying positive. Found it quite a blow not having the forum at the weekend as relying heavily on it so i am now trying to be more independent and go it alone a bit more. Hope everyone else is doing really well. Chloe xx
23 days!: Hi all. Day 23 for me, few wobbles... - No Smoking Day
23 days!
Hey chloe, congatulations on day 23 I chose to stop counting the days to relieve the stress. Well, we didn't buy & We didn't smoke and that makes us forever Quitters LOL = it's a good thing hihihi!
It gets better, promise you. once you go past day 28, its so easy that you will be laughing at this post.
big hug and hang in there
Well done Chloe, yes, sadly we lost a few quitters last weekend but you've done so well to keep on track. Keep your guard up, and let us know how you are doing. Just the other week I searched under my boys beds, in wardrobes and through the stuff that accumulates at the bottom of a laundry basket. Found loads of odd socks and began the odious torture of pairing them up. Well, there I was reaching for a pack of fags. Took a few moments to realise i did not smoke or have any cigarettes. The last time I did this I must have been smoking. Every now and again no smoking likes to bite you on the bum, but each time that bite is a little less potent. x
Great stuff Chloe, you're well on the way to completing 1 whole month quit now
As Caroline says, from time to time you'll come across new trigger points which cause craves, some of which you didn't even know were trigger points! Over your first year you'll pretty much encounter all of them, although there may be one or two lurking in the background. The good news is that as your first year progresses, the craves get weaker and weaker and easier to brush aside.
Keep doing what you are doing and keep sticking to NOPE
Chloe glad to hear you got through the weekend without the forum, I think it was a struggle for a lot of us, don't go it alone if u don't want to, you are among friends here xx
