SMOKERS... LETS KICK the HABIT!!

[Redsunflower]

Day 15 and I'm still a non-smoker.

I had a brand new challenge today. I went to visit a mate who is a proper smoking buddy. She smokes in her house and everything (as does her partner). I didn't have much of a strategy for coping other than just to go and see how it went.

Well, I didn't smoke, she congratulated me on my quit the whole time I was there and I think I now need to wash my jumper but apart from that it was all good.

I can do this. In fact, I am doing it.

Well chuffed.

Bloody well done you! You have every right to be chuffed (UK>US = really rather pleased) with yerself.

Every time you get through a tough situation it puts another slug of strength in the Quit Bank to access whenever you need it.



Hope all you quitters are keeping the faith...Just For Today!

Smoking is the lead story in this newscast 1/17/14. It's an excellent piece on new findings on the affects of smoking and diseases, percentages of youth smoking and the fight against smoking. If you haven't seen this, please do...very informative.

I quit over seven years ago using patches. It took three weeks, and I've never wanted to smoke since. Best thing I ever did. I smoked roughly a pack and a half per day for 34 years before quitting.

Now, I can't stand smoking or to be around it at all. What amazes is how many people still smoke; I don't even know how people afford a pack.

There have been studies done that indicate it takes 21 days to change a habit, it is a milestone for changing any behavior. The hardest part is over, continue to quit, one day at a time. You will be glad you did!

Well, I'm just finishing day 22 so I guess it should be getting easier.

Trouble is, I don't think it is.

I'm in such a foul mood that even the title of this thread is driving me mad. Habit?? This is a drug addiction.

Maybe it will all look better tomorrow and just for today, I won't be smoking.

How are all you new quitters fairing?

I'll have 3 years in April. It's been a struggle but I'm so glad I did. Quitting drinking was nothing compared to quitting smoking. For all of you just starting on your Quit Journey: Congratulations!!!


My philosophy on quitting is rooted in the harm reduction model. It doesn't matter how you quit, or what works best for you versus someone else. It only matters that you DO quit. So find your strategy for achievement and don't get distracted.
