Quit Blogs

hey everyone!

day two feeling lazy, it funny iv boiled the jug 6 times today and only had one coffee, what's with that?? i have noticed that other people who are on the patches are having good dreams to i had the sweetest dream last night, weird because i usually have crazy horrible dreams, what's with that?? not having cravings more like triggers like every time i go to go outside i think ill roll a smoke first..then i shut that out with the "silly me i know ill just have somthing to eat instead" at this point im sitting here thinking ill make somthing to eat when my bubs wakes up from his nap then go hang out the washing...................

WOW motza you just commented on a post i posted ??days ago maybe a week ago and WOW it could not have come at a better time!!! truly thankyou i have been struggling a little bit to chose the nicotine lozanges over a smoke and every time i say last one i fail, today is different there are no smokes around, yep definitly did entertain the idea maybe i was bullet proof and when i started again i was upset at how much i enjoyed it...but ofcouse i enjoyed it a after all its designed to make me think that my mind enjoyed it but my body screamed dont do this to me!!! my best motivation at the mo is my 4year old he knows tooo much when he seen me smoke he said "dont smoke mum youll get cancer and die" truth hurts!!! and yesterday he seen me roll a smoke and said "mum what does that boy say to his mum on t.v..."cause i dont want you to die" and he said it in the same voice as the boy on t.v THANKS EVERYONE XXOO

2days before xmas i had 3 smokes and one puff, xmas nite i had 4 smokes boxing day i had 5 smokes ect ect im smoking again and honestly in my view IT SUCKS ASS iv been specking with a recovered/ing alcoholic he hasnt had a drink for over 20 years and he helped me understand why i may have caved, because i had a plan in my head at a time of stress rather than holding stong and getting though the day i planed how i could have that "one puff" and unfortunitly for me my plan worked it would have been 4 months today, my next plan is to get some more lozenges and stop smoking, it didnt come back naturally it was weird but my addictive personality kicked in BUGGER!!!

still going strong im finding it easier and easier each day when i was a smoker the disadvantages always out weighed advantages and now im a non smoker the revers is true i am one of the lucky ones to be far far away from all that rocking and rolling going on down below as i no if i were there my blogs would be looking a lot different and although im only at week two reading how others have serum to the nasty nicodemoned in times of high stress and they felt no better for it, keeps my mind strong the sleep has been a bit hard but i have a baby that still wakes up for a feed twice a night so i just do my best to relax and drift of knowing ill be up in a few hours but also knowing hey its not gonna last forever my baby will learn to sleep all night and so will i thanxs for all the support guys couldnt do it with out cha
xxoo

i have a 30th to go to on Saturday and this will be my first real test im plaining on not drinking as i have lernt even though i get the night off from being a mum at some stage im gunna have to deal with them and the hangovers i get are sooo not worth it, it is a s or p dress up party and im going as a "past smoker" lol im still getting cravings that tell me smoke time but i can tell they are not lasting as long. as my patner is still smoking i finally understand the term "kissing an ashtray" in his defense he gave up for a month last year and i smoked so i dont need to tell him, im loving having taste buds and have been snaking on nuts and raisins like there going outa fashion and have just about gone through 2kgs of them in the past 11days with a little help from the other to people in this house with teeth im living by my mottos one would be to much and a thousand wouldnt be enuff, not one more puff

cant believe iv gone 8days with out a smoke its actually been really hard i am always thinking about having a smoke and really relying on lozenges to take away the craving i went to plunket the other day and found out my 5mt old WILL be going through with drawls the same as me yep feel like shit for that ignorance IS bliss a, im at a stage were i wanna covert the world or at least the people in my world but i no thats not fair so keep my opinions to myself,...hard.....my partners been home sick for the past three days and has been getting mr4 off to kindy in the mornings.....love him hes a great support and is proud of me i hope he choices to quit soon im just realizing how much time we used to and he still does take away from the boys to smoke b4 we go anywhere..smoke..when we get there..smoke..someone comes around..smoke after tea..smoke you get it any who this can only get easier a...maybe... im a stay at home mum and can do this in my own enviroment but im a bit worried at the same time because my life is so hmmm structured im hoping i dont cave at the first sign of stress like i did with the dog....i guess the difference between that difficult situation and the next is you guys and you tube lol

its starting to get good now im starting to be ok in different situations just had some family members around to see the now 5moth old and the 4yrold, and they were all smokers so i did my usual make everyone a coffee and while they all went out for a smoke i stayed with the boys and it was fine i didnt feel like i was missing out on anything although i must say when they came back inside i actually didn't hate they way they smelt it is still an appealing smell to me WHY??? i went to chemist today and was going to get some rescue remedy but ended up getting naturo pharm quit smoking craving and q/s withdrawl and am thinking about stoping the lozangers and starting the naturo stuff tomoro IS THIS A GOOD IDEA????

hey polhigg wow 57 days without a smoke i cannot wait to be there i think deep maybe deep deep down most people dont want to smoke but i sooo understand i was just telling my patner these withdrals are hard they dont feel cool and pretty much i just wanted a frecken smoke specilly after i seen some tallies in his lunch box i said when did you get those juciy looking smokes anyway i had a lozange and took my son to basketball just got home and feeling incontrol again....for now..lol have you watched the clip on youtube that minty freash suggests to us indecisive folk??? its called thanks tabacco you killed my mum i think its well worth watching and if you need to get rid of those smokes after the day iv had send them to me and i would take GREAT plessure in breaking them up and sucking them up the vacum cleaner lol let me no if you watch the LIFE SAVING youtube clip

im having an anctious day today everything pissing me off even this stupid computer that wont give me the correct spelling for anctious!! BREATH....even writing that kinda makes me smile GETMYMACKON iv just been reading all your posts and they help although im only at day 4 and when you were here you were feeling Owsome lol im doing it the same way you did just on the lozenges as im breastfeeding my 4moth old. im over it being hard im sooo lazy, i am usually very house proud but not so much the only reason i got the vacum cleaner out today was cos my 4yr old dropped muffin crumbs everywhere i was so angry i put him to bed and vacumed the s!@t outa the carpet....hes asleep now and i will give him a big hug when he gets up ohhh better go the babys awake now............

just watching the news its 10:30am hope you are all safe and your friends and family are safe spookie stuff hoping if you have gone though this earthquake you dont let your nerves get ya stay strong thinking of you all take cear of yourselves and each other.

so im coming to the end of my second day because i quit at lunchtime i have to wait half the day to be able to count a day lol im still reading all the blogs religiously and am lerning what can be different for all, and what is very common for all i think the way we quit (what we use) can be very different i thought i would never get this far without patches and i worry because im not using patches am i at a higher risk to not succeed...well im not that worried im a stubborn 'sun' of a bitch and when i put my mind to it i no i can do anything lol last night i had great dreams of a beautiful day out with my family in WANAKA of all places considering i live just out of Hamilton lol but when i woke up today WOW what a gorges day best day of spring yet.. well im off to do some hard work now there is a dog run to be cleaned out witch we have been putting off and putting off since the dog left and knowing that dog he probly left us a few suprises on the back lawn too. hey have a great day all.

iv watched those story an often still think were are they now?? i just followed the link and watched the clip i think apart from the first guy iv seen the others before, and that was a while back now i wonder how there doing now? what there troughts are looking back? also i think there needs to be exposure of this community. do an add on me or better still some one more smoke free than me e.g (minty fresh) so we can let new zealand no if they are thinking about quitting there IS a rehab for smoking its called the quit group a place you are surrounded by supportive people willing to help you help yourself.
