Stopping Smoking for 2009 thread

[Two_Sheds]

really struggling tonight, cannot sleep, feel like c888..........this is harder than i imagined, i am going to chemist tomorrow see what they can do for me

Chorley library has a copy of "Allen Carr's easy way for women to stop smoking" ... plus others.
If you sit in a cafe and read that, you can't smoke
Take it a day (or an hour) at a time.

morning all!
how are we all doing this morning?

I was fine, right up until my mum phoned and started nagging about something ( i can't even remember what?), that was a close run thing, nearly gave in right there and then.
managed to get past it though and still going .

try not to focus backwards - centre on looking forward

Stick with it ladies and gentlemen. There will be bad days, like today for some of you, but there will be good'uns too.
And those benefits are just tooooo good to miss out on.

Yeah, wot Bob said.

You're doing amazingly well all of you - it will get easier, honest

Hang on in there.

Well done honey, that was a massive hurdle to get over, and you DID IT!!

(Why don't you just hold the phone away from your ear, doing a silent "LA LA, not listening" dance??!! That's the joy of phones, they can't see ya!!)

Doesn't she want you to quit??!!

of course she does, she told me to ten years ago, but it has to be on her terms and her way, like everything else you can tell who i take after can't you

she is mellowing slightly though, she never rings before 10 am now

I think you are all doing brilliantly. When I gave up, I didn't tell anyone, I just thought "I'll see how long I can go without a fag". That was 23 years ago, and I'm proud to say that I have a group of friends who have no idea that I ever smoked. The one thing that caused me a problem were the dreams. I regularly used to dream that I'd started smoking again and I'd wake up thinking that I'd have to start all over again. I still occasionally get dreams about smoking even now, which goes to show what a powerful drug nicotine is.
Keep on fighting it. It really is worth it just to be able to say "I used to smoke, but I gave it up". I still feel a swell of pride even now.
