SMOKERS... LETS KICK the HABIT!!

That's brilliant Just_G, well done for not caving and having a cig, once you've got over that hump you know you can deal with stress without resorting to cigs again....it's great when you see the weeks of being nicotine free build up too huh? There comes a time where you even forget how long it is. I remember my quit date but lost track of the weeks at about month 9.

Woohooo princessbelle, go you! Stick in there you really can do it. Keep us posted on progress

One week today. I no longer have any ciggs in my house. My ashtrays are now all cleaned and put away.


These are things that i still struggle at the end of week one....
Still want a cigg but not near as much as i did last week.
Every once in a while have that "panic" feeling of OMG i dont' have any ciggs in the house.
The "habit" after eating, drinking coffee, driving is still aching in there.
Still getting the nicotine from the E-cigg but it's decreasing daily.

These are good things....
I can really smell my candles way better than i did before and they are delightful.
I am going way longer than i was a week ago before i use my e cigg.
My nerves and patience are way better than even just a few days ago.
I've been through my first semi crises (spraining my ankle) and didn't go back to smoking.
My skin looks brighter with a little glow like when your preggy.
First thing i thought of when i work up this morning was "i hope the sun shines a lot today" and not "i need a ciggerette".

Horray.

Magic! You are doing so well princessbelle. You'll be off that e-cig before you know it. I'm so glad you're seeing positive results so soon.

One thing I've only really noticed recently, after over a year not smoking, is that I haven't had a tooth abcess or infection for the same length of time. I used to get 3 or 4 a year. Result!

Keep it up, princessbelle!

And throw away those ashtrays! No need for them anymore and smoking visitors can smoke outside and take their butts with them!

I allow folks to smoke in my house. It's an important point to me...just because I've stopped doesn't mean to say they have to.

I have to add I"m anosmic. I can't smell. This must help greatly in this.

Even when I smoked I smoked outside.

Never been the case in this house. If you use rolling tobacco for your joints that's fine unless you smoke tailor-mades which means the doorstep.
