Re: Quit smoking for Oz
Good on ya Kris and everyone else whose kicking the weed. Good to share the stress.
I'm on day 7 of being nicotine free, and no gum use yesterday. All good so far, heart lowered and less breathless running up the stairs :) Going to clean the car on days off - get rid of all that yukky ash. Will also open a savings account to put the monthly money spent on cigs. Occasionally getting lightheaded, and remembering the previous time I quit when I've been asleep smoking, feeling oh so gutted, then wake up relieved that it was all a dream. :cool: |

Thought id start my daily diary of how im finding it if anyone wants to add to it or give any advice feel free! I have smoked since i was around 15 i have given up several times but never managed to stick to it , it was always a holiday that got me back onto it , never seemed right relaxing without a fag! Anyway read Alan Carrs book at the weekend thought it was good and to be honest i gave up in the new year and found it really easy but again circumstances pushed me back into smoking!! DAY 1 Well i have made day one almost!! I havent had a cigerette today and apart from the odd nicotene pang and feeling really spaced out its not going bad at all, I remember this feeling from when i gave up in the new year its awful you really dont feel like you are on the planet,and really really tired!! I know it wont be for long though then i will start feeling the benefits of being a non smoker!!! Cant wait to wake up tomorrow not having ganky smokers gob!! Hubby has given up too he was going to wait until i had quit for a week but changed his mind so we are in it together! At the moment its positive thinking getting me through knowing a fag will not make me feel any different, and the stink Yuk!! Sorry if the above is a load of drivel my head is fuzzy!! Kris xx I went out to Aus last year, decided I was sure I wanted to go and live there, thought well if you really want it you can stop smoking, within a week of getting back to UK I stopped and haven't smoked for over a year. Stopped with the help of the horrible nasal spray thing (so horrible it quickly overcomes your need for nicotine but making you feel ill everytime you have a spray lol) Must say though at times I could still easily buy 20 and just drop back into it, the addiction cravings haven't left me as yet ;) |

Kris xx Well done for being a non smoker !! :D Soon you get to start smelling smokers around you from 50 paces and wondering how you got away with stinking like an old ashtray. Remember the first couple of days is merely the nicotine leaving - after then its all in your head!!!! So the worst of its all over now - congrats! |

Re: Quit smoking for Oz
Hi Kris
what a great post to start. It has given me the urge to try and stop again. Have smoked from when I was 15 and I'm now 30. So far Ive managed to cut down to 10 a day and my plan is to go cold turkey as of Mon.26/9/05 :scared: .So all the help and encouragement anyone can give is appreciated. I find it the hardest when i come home from work as I have 2 young girls who seem to be able to drive m,e nuts and the first thing I want to do is escape to the garden and have a puff but just knowing there are others out there trying as well might just be enough to see me through. i will have to look up this CD being spoke about. so cheers for any help and i will keep everyone updated to my progress |

Re: Quit smoking for Oz
I'v got 3 pieces of advice for you if you've just stopped up, or are about to stop smoking.
1, you're not "giving-up" smoking, you're stopping smoking. There's a big difference between giving up something that you want to do, (bad). and stopping doing something that you don't want to do. (good) 2, Save the money you would of spent on fags. If you could afford to spend it, you can afford to save it! Put it in a jar (super-glue the top on, I did) or open a bank account especially for the "fag money". Think of something you want, make it a realistic amount and plan to buy it. I had a new cd player for the car, and it was great on the day I actually went to a local hi-fi shop and bought it. 3, Write a list of the main reasons for stopping smoking. WHATEVER they are most of them will dissapear quite quickley once you quit. The bad smells, lack of money etc. If you can't remember why you wanted to stop in the 1st place, 2 months or so down the line you'll never remember. GOOD LUCK. Steve. |

well done, I had a bad morning Lois my little one shes 4 just has got a thing about how she wants her hair and no matter how you do it ,its wrong :mad: so we had this this morning just as we are trying to leave for school in the end i lost it and really shouted!! Then we gets to school (she has only been there 2 weeks) and she has been fine going in with her friend darcy but today she cried (breaks me heart) then teacher (who looks like big scary ogre ) says whats wrong shes waiting for darcy I say well she says ive split them up as lois is getting confused with names WTF she is 4 years old I could not give a toss if she gets confused with her name id much rather she settled into school with her friend first. Needless to say come out the class in tears after leaving Lois with Mrs Merchant the nice teacher ! AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH that made me want a fag but i havent and wont as i know it will not make me feel the slightest bit different, and I actually feel better my skin feels cleaner my mouth fresher and the fuzzy head is clearing and this is the beginning of day 4!! Keep it going Kris xx |
