Day 4 🤗

[johannamdx91]

Day 4 of no smoking (cold turkey) Well it's the third full day without a fag but because I quit half through the day Sunday my app is telling me it's coming into day 4 lol.

So far I've been okay, few struggles but all in all it's been okay. I'm going to Edinburgh Friday for the weekend, will be drinking which is worrying me a bit. Has anyone got any tips on staying off the fags while drinking? That's what has put me back to smoking previously. The person I am going to see is also a smoker

Also how do I get a badge? lol

Thanks x

Well done going cold turkey👏👏👏 admin team will comment soon and do your badge, read the pinned posts and lots of support on here, but I don't know about drinking with the Scots as a newly quit... Lol

Thank you...

Aw I know they're wild lol but I'll hopefully get through I've got a vape for it with 0mg nicotine to try and help 🙈 I'll have a look at the posts now, thanks xx

I think you will be ok and do it, especially going cold turkey, Vape is a good idea, and just come on here for support. Good luck on your journey. 👍👍

Great!. Well done!!. Sorted your badge but please post your exact quit date. As admin, we are on and off site and sometimes another admin will do badges if the other is not online. We love helping but all have busy family lives too. 😊😊

Good luck in Scotland and I do agree that a vape is a fantastic back up so early in your quit if you're drinking. I did cold turkey but avoided booze (which isn't hard when you have kids, well?, actually it can go either way but I definitely don't have a social life😳😂).

Find a wingman who will smack the back of your had if you even think of lighting one up.

It worked for me.

Well I had my last fag at half 5 Sunday evening 17th September

Thanks! Yeah my idea was to avoid it but totally forgot I had to go Edinburgh 🙈😂 lol so I'm going to try and drink less than normal and use my vape

Just stay determined. All you can do. And don't forget to have fun instead of focusing on fags.... not worth losing a great night over!..xx

Prepare, prepare, prepare!!! That's all I'd say! Good for you, taking your vape with you. I also adopted the Smug Technique when around smokers when I was newly quit, saying to myself 'I'm soooooooo glad I don't have to do that anymore'!! Sounds daft, but it worked as does WOOP (see pinned posts). Have a belting time in Edinburgh.....it's on my bucket list. Much love Poll x.

Thanks that's actually very helpful I'll try that 🤗

Thanks I'm sure I will, I've been before and loved it. Definitely one of my fav cities, looking forward to it x

It's hard the first time you go out drinking and not smoking but you can do it! Tell yourself you would be stupid to have one after getting this far. When I see smokers standing outside it makes me glad I don't smoke anymore and proud that I've done it 😀
