Day 4 and Im struggling! Hoped it might Start to get a bit easier today . My father has had a heart attack today as well. Another bloody good reason not to go back to smoking but feels like a bad time to be quitting.

Some days everything gets a bit too much doesn't it :-(

Hiya Jo, yes I agree with you that some days just get a bit too much and today is one of those days. I'm so sorry to hear of your fathers heart attack and sending good wishes for his recovery. I know it feels as though a cig would help but honestly it won't. The problem is we think it's the answer to everything because that's how we have dealt with things in the past. Now you tell yourself you're a non smoker and you don't need one. I understand how you're struggling and it's hard to keep going on your quit but you really have to dig deep and then dig some more. My thoughts are with you and believe you can get through this and you will. Another day smoke free and you'll get stronger and beat this horrid addiction, hour by hour. Good luck, you can do it😊x

Ahhh jojo, your doing so well.... so sorry to hear about your dad and hope he is on the mend 😃 Briar is right, smoking is not going to change anything and all it will do is make you kick yourself really hard..... you will feel regret to add to all the other emotions that you are feeling 😑 stick with it hun and you will get through it 😃 sending big hugs to you and your family xo

Hi jojo,

Sorry to hear about your dad and I do hope that he makes a speedy recovery.

Often it is when we are feeling low or stressed is when we crave for a smoke the most, but!!! Jojo, it won't solve anything.

Things that I have learned since quitting is that we think smoking will make it better, but the reality is....it does not...it can't or won't change anything at all..

Stay strong, you can do this 😀😀👍😄

Hi thanks for everyone's kind wishes and thoughts, wouldn't wish today on anyone.

My dad is now quiting too so I have another good reason to keep at it.

Good luck to everyone in their own personal battle with quitting for good. I hope we all NEVER have to go through what my dad has today all because of smoking.

Love to you all, couldn't have got through today without you xxx
