Hellooooooo Very Happy

I haven't been avoiding this, just not been around a computer for a while. Anyway, YES I have attempted to stop smoking.

I have had one or two sneaky ones, but realised that they were rubbish and actually helped me regain momentum. So its been about 4 days without one, I started on the gum, but it tastes disgusting so, i am using willpower alone.

I have tried to keep myself busy, and have changed a few of my routines to avoid the cravings, such as having my tea and then getting up and doing the washing up straight away (i used to have a fag and a coffee and chill out for 20 mins) so thats my tip anyway.

I did look into the NHS ceasation programme, but the problem is that yes they will give you prescription patches etc, but you have to attend ceasation clinic and be monitored and councelled, and I haven't got time for that because of my job.

Anyway, busy busy. cya soon with more gossip xxxx Very Happy

Nice one babe- I knew you wouldnt let us down, or yourself for that matter! Its ace that you feel those sneeky ones were a bit rubbish- shows you're wiseing up to it all and i firmly believe thats the hardest bit. Well done you for finding trouble times and eliminating them re the washing up and stuff- top effort- keep it up!!!

Well its all gone pete tong. Socially I have been quite busy recently, and have found myself giving into temptation on more than one occassion. Still determind having smoked on nights out I still managed to cut the rotters out of my daytime routine. I went into the shop this morning to get my usual newspaper and milk for work, as the old routine also featured purchasing my daily ciggs, I accidently today purchased some ciggs!!! Well i got through the whole day without them, choosing to use them on a night out this weekend, but tonight i have been smoking

Its not clever, and I am ashamed of myself.

I WILL GIVE UP - just not today Crying or Very sad

Poor chick Laughing

You're doing great.
Its gonna be hard and you're gonna mess up- you are after all only human. The point is you know where you want to make the changes and every cig less you smoke is a major deal in its own right.
Keep at it babe, you will get there when you're truely ready and if this is a first attempt/recognition of failure you're doing far better than most i know... its nearly feb and you haven't totally given up!!!

Well as you know things were going bad, and they got worse!! but today I started a clean slate, I have my patches and I have written down all the things that make me want to quit. a couple of friends that joined me with giving up are back on the fags again! I am not going out at all this week so that should help Confused
