Tomorrow I will have been stopped smoking for 19 whole weeks. Apart from the blip in April when I smoked 18 cigs over a few days, then picked myself up, ditched the junk Champix and carried on. 19 weeks of stress, misery, tears, and hair pulling later how do I feel. Umm, exactly the same. Could still

TO HAVE AND TO HOLD .....
I now have an added incentive to
quit
the habit of
smoking
besides health reasons and the fact that I want to stop and I am going to do my level best and then some to succeed. When I think about having a cigarette, I will think about this car. Note: Mind diversion tactic!

YOU CAN DO IT
Most people who have
quit
smoking
have had at least one unsuccessful attempt in the past. It,s not important how many times you try to quit. What,s really important is that eventually you stay quit.

THIRTY SECONDS
It only takes thirty seconds to change one’s life for ever. In thirty seconds we can say words that can mean the difference between life and death. In thirty seconds we can tell someone “I love you” and in thirty seconds we can also say “I hate you”. In thirty seconds we can commit to doing an act

Two days together -urrghh!!
This is getting worse - not a good day at work - All workmates being smokers and I don't even get the peace of being able to spend 3-4 mins outside away from the stress. Someone in the office arguing black is white telling me I was incorrect - when in fact they were wrong as it turned out. No apology

If it only takes 24 - 48 hours for nicotine to leave your body, why would I want to use NRT?
For those of you 'toying' with the idea of whether or not to use NRT have a read through the following information that I put up a while ago. It's also worth reading through it as you may understand how those nicotine receptors in that brain of yours work; When you first stop smoking, it is true

Before you reach your quit date, try to understand what part of smoking actually satisfies you....
Here is a simple thought provoking exercise to try before your
quit
date; 1. Don't worry about stopping
smoking
but become really aware of each cigarette or roll up that you smoke and the whole process of smoking each individual one. What do you believe you really enjoy about it?

STRANGE but true
Isn’t it funny how sometimes one thinks that we are immune to something? That nothing anyone can say and anything that they do, can hurt us. We all have an inner defence mechanism - we have to have to survive life’s knocks and bumps and so forth and I really believed that my defensive walls were impregnable

If you needed another reason to
quit
smoking
, here it is. A study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology showed that a person who smoked 16 to 25 cigarettes a day was three times more likely to develop Type 2 diabetes than a non-smoker 9.

Nicotine addiction.
People trying to
quit
smoking
often become discouraged when they don't succeed at first. Research shows that the more times you try, the more likely you are to succeed - so don't give up! Expectations (prognosis): Nicotine withdrawal is short-lived and should pass in time.
