Janathene27 January, 2012 or me
just jag27 January, 2012 not me, if I was working for Quitline I would be SO rich considering all the time I have spent on this site in the last 810 days!!!
Ady28 January, 2012 Work for Quitline... No, not me.
Blogging here is volunteering,.. isn't it.! or is that seeking support help, i forget now, Oh well,... i'm just doing this cos i like to.
rainbowfish28 January, 2012 Me neither however I may as well be:)
clarence the cat28 January, 2012 Me neither.
maggie28 January, 2012 I would love to work for Quitline or something to do with giving up smoking even on a voluntary basis maybe when i retire in a couple of years may look into it in the meantime just blog and support to the family on here
Fatgirl28 January, 2012 nope nor me
Julesconan28 January, 2012 the ones that do work for quitlne have the logo under their names or when they comment, we are just real people, helping eachother through the tough time of quitting, its better than all the other aides put together I reckon.
: ) Kia Kaha
Xenophon28 January, 2012 I'm with you Julesconan - I can *just" imagine getting by without NRT (with great difficulty!); but I really, honestly don't think I could do it without the blogs! And yeah, kiwiquit, we're all just fellow quitters, none of us work or volunteer for Quitline. Quitline staff occasionally post a comment, but as Jules mentioned, you'll clearly see a big "Quitline" logo next to those posts :)

yas0121 January, 2012 Congrats to you & your Mum. Our senses are so much better now you can sniff it out now ahy.
Cliffie21 January, 2012 That also applies to our sense of taste. Sometimes cravings are received as hunger pains and the brain is always wired to eat. Hence hand to mouth habit which is hard to stop.
Well done to you both for 19 days. Keep up the good work.
Ady22 January, 2012 Oh cool stuff Kiwiquit, & well done on 19 days for both you & mum.
Can smell a smoker miles away now aye, you keep on track & you'll soon save the dollars for that trip to Aussie, good on ya.
Pssst,... don't let mum sneak any puffs. LoL

yas0110 January, 2012 Wow you have been thru a lot in last 24hrs and you stayed smokefree!
Awesome work, I went thru a simalir thing last year hence when I relapsed mine was someone in the family.
You should be proud of yourself for dealing with it and staying quit. You dont need people like that in your life :)
kiwiquit10 January, 2012 @ Yas01, how true and thank you for your kind words i am ready for what the devil has through at me that was all i could think of yesterday was it was the devil at play and he was NOT going to win this ONE! yes i believe in the lord and this has been one of my biggest helps in the quitting process. I just play healthy and happy music not all christian. and keep busy baby thats the best ting hehe
Mama E10 January, 2012 Wow mega 24hrs for you. Y do people do things like that???? I agree with yas01, you should be proud of yourself. It is good that you are no longer friends with that person, becos I believe we all need to surround ourselves with ppl that inspire us, challenge us and love us for who we r. Big ups to you having to deal with all that drama, and a high five for staying smokefree through it all!!!!! Kia kaha :) :)
clarence the cat10 January, 2012 Well done for dealing with all that nonsense and remaining SMOKEFREE. It is amazing the lengths some people will go to, to disturb others lives.
Hope things settle down for you soon. Stay strong.
Cliffie10 January, 2012 Well done. Amazing effort to keep SMOKEFREE given just about every trigger must have been reached by you in the last 24 hours.
kiwiquit11 January, 2012 @ Cliffe yes they were but i am a stubborn person and if i want something i get and and if not than you get the story hehe.
i thnk i am just realy i do get the urge some are bad at the moment anyways but i just dis them

Quitline8 January, 2012 Hi kiwiquit,
Well done to you and your mum for reaching day 6!
Are you wearing the patches to bed? The patches are designed to be work for 24 hours and it is recommended to wear them to bed and this helps with the early morning craving when you wake up. However, some people experience vivd dreams when they wear the patches while sleeping. If they disturb your sleep then you can take the patch off an hour before you go to bed and put a new one on first thing in the morning.
If you arent wearing the patches to bed then the disturbed sleep could be a result of all the changes your body is going through while withdrawing from the nicotine and things should settle down in time.

kiwiquit8 January, 2012 hey quitline, so far its cold turkey no patches.
clarence the cat8 January, 2012 Lots of people have "smoking" dreams. Mine is to dream I am at a party smoking up large. I can even taste them. When I wake up it takes ages to convince myself it was only a dream and I am still SMOKEFREE. Well done to reach day 6. Your fisrts week is almost done & dusted.
Strike 28 January, 2012 good on you and your mum for reaching day 6 that is awesome
clematis8 January, 2012 Well done on reaching day 6. You and your mum shld think about giving yourselves a treat. :)
Xenophon8 January, 2012 Well done to you and your mum kiwiquit and yes, I dream about smoking too, I think it's pretty normal! Your sub-conscious mind is probably very busy working through the whole quitting process. Keep up the great effort! :)
Nifty Fifty8 January, 2012 Hey Kiwiquit, congrats to you and Mum !!!, Wish my hubby would quit , would make my life alot easier. Im constantly smelling the smoke. Mind you, it makes me even more determined I suppose

Thank you for your blog. I've forwarded your suggestion to our Communications team. We appreciate any suggestions that may help to improve our services and our client experience.
Thank you kindly

trudger676 January, 2012 I think any mobile tool is great, but the benefits of my not smoking haven't allowed me to buy a smartphone yet.
Cliffie6 January, 2012 Like trudger67 - I don't own a smart phone; for now anyway. We will just have to rely on the old fashioned quit texts.

Cliffie5 January, 2012 Congrats to you and your mum. I hope the weather changes and you can get outdoors more often.. Nothing like a bit of fresh air to clear away the cobwebs so to speak.

Goal2nevaSmokeagain3 January, 2012 Congrats kiwiquit
You have your mum as a mate that is really good. Yes i would say the first 2 weeks you will feel like that. Then it would get better after that. Glade we have a quit blog cos everyone on here are so supportive .
All the best in your non smoking . promise you will not regret it in the long run.:)
trudger673 January, 2012 Good on you, tell as many people what you are doing, even smoker friends and ask for their support, so if you are having a bad day, they are aware.
Cliffie3 January, 2012 Well done Kiwiquit... Good luck on your journey with your mum.
Some of my children smoke but haven't offered me any so have not yet needed to say NO... Good on ya..
All the best for 2012 and stay strong.

sdyoung1 January, 2012 good luck, im sure this blog will be of great encouragement for us all and looking forward to using it
trudger671 January, 2012 Yes, there are many good reasons to quit, and not giving any more money to the government than necessary is a very good one. You can do it, welcome back!
Ady2 January, 2012 Welcome back Kiwiquit, Again,.. LoL
Stick around the blogs more like you say, im so sure it helps ppl to succeed more than a lot of us realise.
You know the drill, so hang on tight & good luck.
cheers
clarence the cat2 January, 2012 My Mother used to chant:
If at first you don't succeed, try try try again!!
It really works. Good Luck.
SmokePuncher2 January, 2012 Welcome back! If you fall off the wagon, just reflect on what made you go back to smokes and perhaps post them up here too. There will be many who had gone through the same struggles and are able to share some valuable advice. Haha yea the reality is that the prices will go up but not necessarily our pay packet! Wish you all the best in this new journey in the new year and hope to read more of your blogs!
clematis2 January, 2012 Good luck kiwiquit. Do it for yourself, remind yourself that your worth a health life free of a filthy addiction. Distract yourself when you get the urge to smoke. Remember that it doesn't make anything better even if it seems to for a while. :)
