Give up smoking for good

It’s only been a week but I feel great!!! I think it’s tougher to get over the psychological dependence of blowing smoke… I figured that I smoked more to fill the time or have something to do…. Now, instead of smoking I’ve been organizing my house, cleaning out my closet, reading books…. I’m keeping busy and when I get a bit anxious, I plug into my ipod and go for a walk… being able to breath after an hour long walk around my neighborhood makes it well worth it!!!! And the money saved from the pack a day that I’m not purchasing, goes to my piggy bank!!! Looking good!!!

ive given up smoking for 8 months now. For the first 6 months i had so many chest infections, colds ect and felt so ill. Im asthmatic so smoking was doing me no good at all, i was having a puff on my inhaler just to have a fag! Since giving up ive had to go on a new inhaler due to my bad chest infections, but now well i only have to take my inhaler twice a day and i feel so much healthier.My advice is just go through the bad it gets much better and oh yes ive bought myself a plasma tv !!!!

Yippeeee!! I am really thrilled. I have not touched a single cancer stick in a month. I did feel the urge a few times but kept telling myself how can I miss something I have never known? I am pretending that I have never had any cigarette in my life… What do you folks think of my strategy?? And in order to combat the putting on weight part, I have started working out with the help of a personal trainer. In short, I am trying to be healthy in all sense of the term.

Last evening I smoked the LAST cigarette of my life… This is the first time in 08 years (this is how long I have been a smoker)that I have tried to quit smoking so I need a lot of support from you all here. I want to try for a baby next year and hope to be able to cleanse my system to a small extent before I conceive.

I am hoping I would have enough will power to succeed. It helps that my husband is a non-smoker. The toughest part, however, would be resisting a smoke in office where I am used to smoking at least 3 ciggies a day. I didn’t smoke at home at all. So I would smoke maximum 5 to 6 on the upper side. Therefore, I am hoping I won’t have too many side effects…

I am also thinking of giving up caffeine.

The hardest is when I go out and all my friends are smoking. But it’s been over two weeks now and i’m feeling good. Never ever smoking a dirty horrible cigarette again!!

Im fine until I go out drinking!!!

How I wish i could give up smoking for good, it would be soo lovely not to to have to worry about wanting a cigarette first thing in the morning and wondering if i have got enough cigarettes with me; and not having to worry about my health cos of them and my car would be sooooooo much cleaner all the time.

I have tried many times to give up, but so far have not succeeded.

Today is my 8th day of giving up smoking… for good, and in that time I have only had one and it wasn’t the end of the world. Just got on with giving up again instead of making it mean that i had failed. I’m using patches which have taken the edge off the whole experience and seem to be working by taking care of the physical addiction while i take care of breaking the psychological triggers and habits i’ve formed around smoking for the past ten years (coffee and cigarettes, work and cigarettes, alcohol and cigarettes etc). The strangest thing is looking at other people smoking and thinking why are they allowed to smoke and not me? Which i think means i still have some way to go!?

So far, so good. Although I’m not sure that drinking champagne at 3am this morning was such a great idea.

Mmm waves of nautia

Tomorrow I become a non smoker. I’ve read up on what I’m likely to expect and I know what my triggers to smoke are.

I want to become a non smoker and I don’t want to put it off any longer.

I’ve got lots of boozy times coming up over the next few weeks and months (nothing unusual there) and my mind will play tricks on me and try to get me to smoke. But I’ll be a non smoker so it would be crazy to smoke.

I’m wishing my self every possible chance for dramatic success and I hope you do too.
