Re: New Non-Smokers Thread -

Hey everyone,
I think I'm ready to try this again. I was doing good, but then started "borrowing'' cigs from my husband again. I just couldn't seem to let go of having that one cig a day. But I think I'm ready now. I'm sick of thinking about them all the time! Sick of having to hide it from my kids! And I'm sick of sitting on the front porch with about twenty huge spiders just so that I can hold onto that one lousy cigarette a day! I'm making this day 1— smokefree.
wish me luck....

Re: New Non-Smokers Thread -

Hey UG, how's it going for you today? Managing to keep on the non-smoking straight and narrow?

Truthfully - today has been the toughest day so far. Had major issues to address with the xdh, had to deal with the detective and that whole assault case thing - which just made me crave like MAD, then add some financial issues on top of that and you've got the cherry on the cake of my day. Ugh. lol

BUT - I didn't give in. I didn't cave! 2 weeks 1 day and going strong!

And it feels pretty darn good, really. I knew smoking would taste like garbage, smell like garbage, and the nicotine would probably make me sick on top of everything else - not to mention I'd have had to spend almost $5 to do that to myself. Thanks but no thanks!

Hope alls going well with the other non-smokers or soon to be non-smokers.

Brook when we have stresses in our lives its so easy to just go back to our bad habits and blame it on the stress of the week. But our lives are complicated there is always a stress and an excuse. I applaud you for staying strong

I just wanted to stop in and lend my encouragement and support to everyone

Re: New Non-Smokers Thread -

hey everyone,
checking in here. Day two, no smokie.
Brook, I know what you mean when all of those things pile up and the stress drives you NUTS-O, but we've just got to find other coping mechanisms now — healthy ones!
And rybread, I know how hard it is when dh still smokes. I can go for days of not smoking when he's not around 'cause I don't buy them anymore, but when he's home and smoking like a chimney, the temptation can be overwhelming. And *my* dh has no intention of quiting.

Re: New Non-Smokers Thread -

Oyy!

I'm lucky in that dh never smoked - but my smoking was the biggest fight the two of us had for years and years!

WAY TO GO ON TWO DAYS UG!!!!

Re: New Non-Smokers Thread -

Doing pretty well. Day three for me, and to tell you the truth, I haven't had much temptation yet. It helped that I had a cold early in the week, and definately didn't feel like smoking. Had a slight pang last night and again this morning, but it passed quickly.
How's everyone doing today?

Re: New Non-Smokers Thread -

For me the hardest parts come in 3's. Day 3, Week 3 and Month 3. I dont' know why that is, but it's always held true for me - whether it be smoking, weight loss, exercise, you name it. But I get through it!

You're not doing "pretty well", urbangoddess! You're ROCKIN! I'm so thrilled for you because I know it's not an easy thing to accomplish and you're knockin' it right out. GOOD FOR YOU!

I might feel like smoking after I go school supply shopping today. $120 for a calculator for an 8th grader. #$)*%$%)(*#@$)#@$&@$#)!

LOL

Re: New Non-Smokers Thread -

Hello again Brook. You'll be pleased to hear I've booked myself in to an Allen Carr session in London this coming Thursday, which will be my last day as a smoker. I'll keep you posted!

[Brook]

Re: New Non-Smokers Thread -

Oh Shrinky! Good for you & I'm jealous!! I'd have loved to be able to go to a session!

I wish you complete success and I can't wait to hear how it went!!

Me? I'm sneaking up on 4 weeks smoke free and it only bites me about once a week, meaning I only find about once a week where I catch myself wishing for a smoke - but it quickly passes. I feel fantastic and I'm glad to have at least this piece of addictive behavior back under control!

How is everyone else doing? It's been quiet around these parts
