[Lizzie74]

Hi all hope you've all had a fab smoke free Christmas,I however gave in to the temptation of mr nic over the Christmas holidays,but I'm not going to beat myself up over if as if at first you don't succeed try,try again. My plan is to start 2016 as a non-smoker. Hope you all have a great smoke free new year xxx

Hi lizzie,

Good on you for not giving up on being free from nicotine 👍👍

And - good on you for not beating yourself up about it too 😀😀

Over the next couple of days, try and look back at what happened that made you have that first one. This will help you in the future 🙂🙂

Keep this site nice and close😀😀 there is lots of evidence that have a support group increases the likelihood of staying smoke free

So glad you had a great Christmas and all the very best for 2016 - your year to shine

😀😀

Thanks all, I know what went wrong last time I'd put myself under too much pressure & I was so worried about letting everyone down,so when tempted I gave in just to make a stand in a childlike sort of way as everyone around me was telling me not to & that made me want to more,must be the rebellious streak in me,anyhow I've told no one when I'm quitting this time only the people on this site know my plans,as I'm not going to be seeing any of my smoking friends till children are back at school on the 5th & I plan to be on day5/6 by then. Thanks again xx

Hi Lizzie, Well done you on having the guts to tell everyone you slipped up.

Not everyone does that. Its not the easiest habit to break , however its one of the most rewarding once you have done it.

Look at Monky, he struggled when he first started to try and quit. Now he is brilliant helping to run quit support. Keep us all informed and good luck for a smokefree 2016.

Hey lizzie it's so easy to slip and we've probably all had attempts that didn't go to plan, I remember once starting to smoke again so I wouldn't eat the 2nd box of Pringles, was just an excuse I know that now. The important bit is getting back on it and you will beat it, you'll see 🚭🚭🚭🚭🚭

[NgaireM]

Hi Lizzie, I won't tell you how many times I quit - all those hard yards only to go back to square one! The MAIN thing is not to quit quitting! I moaned and grizzled and blamed everyone else BUT I finally made it.

Thanks mainly to this forum I feel, so good luck to you and just know you can do it.

Cheers Ngaire xx
