Close call

[Kas100]

I can't stop thinking about having a cigarette tonight.

Just driven home and was so close to stopping to buy a packet.

It's worrying how strong the urge to smoke takes over every thought in my mind.

Hiya Kas, it's great that you didn't stop and yes unfortunately those pesky urges just take over sometimes

It's hard to fight them but ya really have to fight the battle to win the war

Be very proud of yourself for not caving into temptation

Stay strong and although it doesn't seem like it right now, things will get better

Hang in there coz you are doing great x

Thanks Briarwood, going to have a cuppa and toast now and try and calm down.

You're right it is a battle and I need to toughen up.

[Briarwood Administrator Ducky in reply to Kas100]

Ah Kas don't be too hard on yourself, you won the battle today, so it's a victory for you

Mr nic sure doesn't give up without a fight

Each day adds up so keep counting and well done x

Hi Kas, well done on not giving in to that urge. The first week or so is pretty tough but every battle you win brings you closer to victory so hold faith in your army and before long you'll defeat the enemy

Keep going as you're doing great

Cravings back under control.

HI Kas,

Well done you!! for not giving in Each win you have will empower you for the next craving. Stay strong and dont let Mr Nic win. He will try all sorts of tricks to try and get you to give in and you just have to keep outsmarting him You can do this

I gave up over 20 years ago and it was one of the hardest things to do but you keep at it and you will reach the stage where you hate the sight and smell of them, keep strong and try and find something else to take over your mind, like how much money you are saving and what else you can spend it on rather than risk your health

[Kas100 LONG TERM WINNER in reply to pccogni]

Looking forward to that time.

20 years quit, that's great, your health must be that of a never smoker now.
