That's ok Shireen. You go keep Minxy company and send Steve down to look after me :twisted:
I'd be delighted to :rascal:

btw......I've been up a whole HOUR and not had a puff yet :smug:
Well done hun
I find mornings are the worst time for wanting a fag..
Out of bed............Light one up :cry:
Still got a sore throat hun so not as many as norm. I've decided to wait until the day after the girls night in before I take my last puff. I know I won't be able to resist with the smokers in the house so the tabs will start the week before and my last puff will be on Sunday 26th 
In the meantime, I'm cutting down on them ( besides, it's too freakin wet and cold in the garden
)

I quit recently and ......
The way I quit was one morning i woke up.
Everything was going amazing in my life.
I simply chose 'Life'.
I wanted to live every second i could.
Smoking did not fit in anymore.
No patches nothing - just stoppped.
When you smoke you never think of what it really does.
It kills you sooner.
So everytime i think of a cigarette i just think i've stopped taking minutes of my life.
Put together ............
It could be the difference between seeing my children get married.
Maybe my grand children born (may be married).
Simply and at worst
It means i can look in my wifes eyes a minute longer.
But at worst ........ that makes it all worth it though a million times over !!!!!.
People just 'stop smoking' and fail - thats hard.
Make it bigger (because really it is) and its not as hard.

Someone trying to give smoking up here ...it's been 6 years or so and I will keep on trying.
You need to prepare to give up...this is one of the biggest challenges you will ever face in your life!
Its damn f***ing hard believe me.I did it on willpower and rationale but I have given them up at least a dozen times. 6 years is my longest so far..and still going
You have to be ready to give up ....don't do it on impulse it wont work!
Spend all your time presuading yourself you REALLY WANT to give up ...dont just tell yourself you want to ...research it know WHY you want to give it up.
Focus on those reasons make them god make them motivational
When you are ready to give up you will know ..I'll do it after the so and so event means you aren't ready!
A support group on here would be good but dont fall into the trap of setting the day you all give up ...let people give up when ready . Don't pressure them .
When you are ready just do ot there and then dont set a future date. Use your success to drive you to the next milestone .Be it the first 10 minutes or hour or half day or day
. These time bands are immense ...massive ...huge ...if you can get through the first two or three days then in terms of physical cravings you are through the worst. If you do the first day you have achieved at a level beyond description ...then use this massive achievement as a reason not to have another fag ...what a huge waste of all that effort ...know that it will soon start to get easier .
With each passing day use it to steel your resolve ...for if you can conquer this you can achieve anything. Dont betray your success by slipping back.
If you cant resist ring someone before you relapse ...I am quite happy to offer my services as en emergency contact .
Do give your self credit for every moment and celebrate each day.
Do put the cash(literally ) you would have spent on fags each day in a jar or draw and treat yourself with it at the end of the first week or month. Continue to do this as it mounts up large sums of cash quickly and it feels so good to spend it knowng its off the back of an achievement you can be proud of.
Do give it up ...its as much for your loved ones as yourself.
DO have my best wishes and good luck ...it's so hard but it can be beaten
Never think you have given up ...I went for 4 years and started again ..so you are always in the process of giving up even after 20 years of no smoking . Several drinks one fag and your a smoker again ! Beware!
