Quit Blogs

Star in Quitline's new ads

Hi bloggers

We're looking for people who have quit smoking with the help of Quitline to take part in our new advertising campaign.

We're looking for all different kinds of people. Shooting will take place in early March in the Wellington region so it would be ideal (but not essential!) if you were living in the area.

To register your interest, please email Sarah Woods: sarahw@quit.org.nz
It would be very helpful if you could include some information about yourself and your quitting journey.

Many thanks!

Blogging Virgin

Greetings all,

Having never done this before not sure what I am supposed to put, but now been smoke free for 5 glourious days (going cold turkey)

Well done redhead 72. I was a blogging virgin before I gave up smoking and found this site, I now read these blogs everyday. The people on this site offer huge support and advice. Welcome.

Congratulations!!!! Like Steve I hadn't blogged before either. Since i stopped trying to kill myself slowly through cigs, this forum has been wonderful. For instance today I got some disappointing news and of course the first thing I wanted to do was have just one! but reaeding the blogs has been a huge help - i have gotten over the craving and so pleased I 'delayed' Keep up the great work.

Congrats on going cold turkey! Thats great! Sounds like you are doing really well! most of us have been suffering, hence the need for major support on here....LOL Nah, everyone supports everyone on here, its great, I love it :)

Hey Jazzmin, bugger about the news :( yeah it kind of sucks when life throws you a few hurdles when you are trying to give up smoking!! But you will be okay, just turn your mind off and go and do something else :)

wahooo! Stay Strong!!

Jazzmin31 August, 2010

Thanks Debz, I am doing something else - feeding my face. I figure if I can stop smoking, going on a diet later wil be a piece of cake (pardon the pun).

Welcome to the family redhead, I am cold turkey but I did have patches for the first month before I had a reaction from them. Hey well done you doing it cold. That would frighten me

Congrats redhead72 you are now on your way. Take each hour (and I do stress HOUR lol) as it comes and BREATHE through the stressful parts of your day. I too took the cold turkey road and my blogs are an indication of my journey (both tortuous and happy) but nonetheless a journal of my feelings and rage. I have come out the other end but not without some victims lol.

Debz3031 August, 2010
