Doesn't work for everyone but it did for me x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tashant32 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Hello fellow chamquitters, Yes I'm still here and still smoke free but SERIOUSLY getting annoyed at the fact that I can go all sodding week, at work, and not even thnk about smoking too much, BUTTTTTTTTTTTT as soon as the weekend arrives it's like a switch in my mind flicks on and all I can bloody think about is SMOKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (really need to scream here lol) If anybody has an opinion or idea of what I can do then any adivice would be most appreciated. I've got an appointment with the Nurse tomorrow and i'll mention it then but I somehow have the feeling I won't get much sympathy OS glad to see you are sticking with it - how's it going lately? Raxs - where have you gone? Lyn and other 'Oldies' it's so good to hear from you all. It does help, well a little anyway, at the moment Gemini glad to hear you are still doing well too Keep up the good everybody and that goes out to 'The Forum' not just those mentioned.

paddy8 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Hello . Im still a non-smoker even tho im not taking the tablets . Oldshirty - im not having any bad cravimgs . If i think about smoking i remind myself of the benefits of not smoking . For example - if i see anyone smoking instead of thinking that i would like one i tell myself that im glad that i dont need to smoke now . Sj - i dont agree with your smoking advisor , i dont think we are puttung ourselves through anything . i think we are freeing ourselves from an addiction and becoming healthier n wealthier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh dearly me chuck, is there something particular that you do at the weekends that you don't do during the week that could be triggering these thoughts? Do you drink more or put yourself in situations where you are around lots of smokers or is it just a phycological thing do you think? When i quit i tried to change my weekend routine to avoid situations like that, i started running again which i reallyed enojy and i TRIED to drink less (although that maybe didn't go so well! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldshirty Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 (edited) Hello fellow chamquitters, Yes I'm still here and still smoke free but SERIOUSLY getting annoyed at the fact that I can go all sodding week, at work, and not even thnk about smoking too much, BUTTTTTTTTTTTT as soon as the weekend arrives it's like a switch in my mind flicks on and all I can bloody think about is SMOKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (really need to scream here lol) If anybody has an opinion or idea of what I can do then any adivice would be most appreciated. Hope you managed the rest of the weekend Tashant. Scottf is probably right in terms of changing your routine but as you know, I'm not probably the best person to speak to... I've got an appointment with the Nurse tomorrow and i'll mention it then but I somehow have the feeling I won't get much sympathy How did it go? I have my appointment on Wednesday. OS glad to see you are sticking with it - how's it going lately? Only just, Tashant But hey ho, here we are a month down the line would you believe:-)) Congratulations quit buddy :-) Raxs - where have you gone? Hear, hear?! Where are you Raxs? Oldshirty - im not having any bad cravimgs . If i think about smoking i remind myself of the benefits of not smoking . For example - if i see anyone smoking instead of thinking that i would like one i tell myself that im glad that i dont need to smoke now Sounds like a good strategy, Paddy! Change of attitude towards smoking definitely required :-) OS, glad to see your still hanging on in there hun! How you feeling??? Erm...I think 'resigned' is the best way of putting it. I'm not tearing my hair out but nor am I particularly happy. Things definitely feel much better when I'm out and about...I don't think about it unless I see someone else smoking...and then I think nostalgically back to a time that I felt...not 'happy' but 'complete'. [in good old drama queen style :-))] Well i'm 7 weeks smoke free!!!!! Brilliant TC! That's worth celebrating :-) glad to see you are still quit Oldshirty, well done I'm really pleased for you Thank you, Gemini :-) And thanks for your continued support! Oh, did I tell you all that we have a Zumba class starting here now?! Guess where I'm going on Wednesday night :-)) Well done to everyone and good luck to those just starting out! OS x P.S. Lost track of multi-quoting so sorry if I have mixed up replies (you know who you are!) Edited March 14, 2011 by esme quote tags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
