Three Weeks Today

Today would actually make three weeks I have not smoked. For some reason I am a little excited about it. I still have cravings but I been reading the posts on this site and decided to laugh at the little urges. I work around a lot of smokers, who are really insensitive. Today this very day they are still offering me a cigarette and I tell them I will smoke again on February 31st. Anyway Guys and Gals remember Team N.O.P.E. Stay Quit and laugh at those urges.

Well done on the quit, I'm at month 3 and coming out the other side. One day your colleagues will want to quit, one day they will ask the question you did " why did I start". They will welcome your support. Point them on here.

Of course I've met the odd person who will always smoke. But from my own personal experience most people, whether they publicly admit it or not , want to quit.

NOPE

Great achievement especially when your colleagues are tempting you.

Stay excited and enjoy being a non smoker.

Unfortunately for me the cravings haven't stopped particularly at stressful times but I'm learning to ignore them. After a few hours they are gone.

Stay strong

Next time you're offered a cigarette ask them to picture a burning building. You've just escaped the inferno, your friends are still inside. Would they really feel better about being incinerated if they could only lure you back inside. Ridiculous????? Yet a fairly close analogy. Or......every time they offer you one, take it, say nothing, & go & flush it down the toilet. See how long they are prepared to sacrifice their precious cigarettes to a watery grave.

Not what you're looking for?
