SMOKERS... LETS KICK the HABIT!!

Jesse · 01-16-2011, 01:33 PM

Hey Incubus,

Sorry you are struggling with the breathlessness. Do you have the meds now?

You are correct in that ultimately the things smoking causes to happen to our bodies are just not cool at all.

Yes, I am still smoke free. Wednesday will be two weeks.

There are still times the thought monkeys dance around in my head trying to convince me to smoke just one, but I just keep saying no.

Hoping that others on here are having great success!

I've been experiencing quite a lot of breathlessness this week but that was my own fault for running out of spiriva, my copd medication, it will take a few days to get back to full 'spiriva-ness.

How are you doing Jesse? Still keeping on giving up?

And you too julieisafemme? Are you making progress?

Just G, are you still staying stopped?

...and how about the OP, Strappie, how goes it with your giving up mission?

Aww I'm so pleased to hear that you're still smoke free Jesse, it's good news indeed. Two weeks is quite an achievement. Well done on denying the dancing monkeys. That's all it takes, a certain strength (will power) and the ability to say NO! to yourself and the monkeys.

Yup I now have my meds and they're building up their protectiveness again.

Very good luck with your mission. Give yourself every chance. If you can get the lovely pills we call Champix (here in UK) I can highly recommend them. I wrote lots about giving up in previous post as have other folks, scroll back and check them out.

Good luck to your Syr sassy_girl.

I'm proud to say that barring a major disaster I will reach a whole year not smoking in just 17days

Thank-you so much....I have to say the first 6-9months were a breeze compared to the last 3 or 4. I've had major cravings around assignment times and just because I think the universe is testing me - I'm weak willed in the face of hedonism - but have been real strong and denied them all.....not even just one little puff because that's how it gets you back in it's clutches.
