espadrille Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 well for some crappy excuse or another i'l not bore you. but yes i'v had a fag today, gona try again on monday thats the date i've set. only telling the truth. i will beat it! When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Have you thought about deciding on a treat for each day that you get through a day without smoking? As I hate cleaning, I used to tell myself that when I mopped the floor I could have a cup of coffee and a biscuit as a reward for having to do the cleaning.I used to be thinking about the coffee and biscuits all the time I was mopping the floor. The thing is to be kind to yourself.Accept that it is hard but refocus why you are doing it and then try to stick to it. I do believe the small treats help though in some small way.

steelhead4 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Just clocked up two months off the cigs after years of 20+ a day , I used patches to start with but not used any of those either for the last month. It can be done if you want it badly enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica23 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 nice idea, thanks for the post, im going to post my progress on here everyday, i hope many others join me tomorrow and quit the fags!!! never quit quitting! I'll join you tomorrow Andy. Here's a list of the benefits I'm looking forward to as a motivational tool: - Less damage to lungs, heart, teeth, skin etc. - Feeling generally fitter and more able to walk up hills/do intensive aerobics classes etc without feeling like I'm going to die/be sick/pass out. - Fresher breath. All the better for snogging with - More money. Currently spend about £20 a week on baccy, filters, papers etc - considerably less than I would if I smoked proper fags but is still a lot of money as a percentage of my disposable (ha) income. That'll do as a starter. I'm going to put £20 a week into a savings account and buy TREATS for each week I go without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erb666 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 i am at 1week and 1 day, its funny but i sort of knew i was a non smoker from day 1, i got the patches, which i dont use, the damn things are more irritating than smoking, you got to nail them on other wise they stick to everything but you, i got the inhalater and 80 ish inserts, i havent used that either, last night i went playing poker, as soon as everybody found out i had stopped they began teasing and blowing smoke in my face (thanks for the support boys ) ya know what...it dont bother me. the money i save is paying for an open university course, so the less i smoke the more education i will get :love: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
