Quit Blogs

Here are my stats.

46 days smoke free. :)

1,150 smokes not smoked phew.

$725.00 saved

My eldest son got married on the weekend so the festivities started on the Thursday night at a pub and the majority of the people there are smokers argh.

So we were out in the smoking section and do smokers all light up at once or is it just my imagination ?

Anywho had my first drink this year was a bit worried but wow it is better yah.

Wedding was awesome kids are really happy and on honeymoon now.

Tried an e ciggie just out of curiousity more then anything second son got upset with me thought it had nicotine in it. ( I triple checked it didn't)

Told him I was upset he had that little faith in me but he is worried so will let him off this time as he has watched me do this all of his life.

Hope everyone is doing good and its good to be back here.

Have a wonderful smokefree day. :)

Well today has been dreadful and great.

I know it doesn't make sense so I will explain.

I have been walking alot since quitting and really just reinventing myself.

So this morning I put the dogs on their leads and my golden retriever didn't seem her normal self but we went on our way.

We walk on a leash free area so the dogs love running around like there is no tomorrow my other dog is a greyhound and you know how they love to run.

So anywho they both do their normal thing and we are half way through the leash free paddock and and my retriever who is four collapses at my feet.

I could not get her to move so rang the local dog control who came to my rescue as there was no way I could move my girl and they drove in in their 4 wheel drive and collect us ,my girl weighs 37 kilo so it was not easy lifting her in the ute.(hurt my arm in the process).

I thought automatically My goodness I WANT a smoke so I told myself I no longer smoke and the thought was just that a thought.

I am feeling really proud that I got through this stressful and tearful situation.

Dog is home now from vet but I have to take her back in the morning she should be alay but scary afterall they are family.

Keep strong everyone,:)

That is what this week will be.

My first born is getting married on saturday (11th) to a lovely girl and I don't smoke.

Someone said to me that I will find it hard at the wedding and my response Why?

As a smoker I would of been planning how I would be able to get my fix for any event I had to attend and sometimes if I'm honest I just wouldn't go if I could not work out how I was going to get one.

But now I am so excited to be involved in this very special wedding and not having to have a smoke.

I will be able to stay inside and enjoy every little thing about the day.

With all those people you need to kiss and hug it is going to be so nice not worrying about how I smell (yuk)

I got to buy a nice little clutch bag to go with my dress as I only need to carry a bit of lippy and my phone.

I am loving this smoke free life so far and I am sooo determined to stay that way.

All the best everyone. :)

PS I am also on Annual leave for two weeks,If you could bottle and sell this feeling we would all be rich.

Oh thats right we already are because we have enriched our lives with good healthy lifestyles. xx

That is the number of smokes I have not smoked in 33 days and have not spent $525.00.

THat is crazy stuff.

I am surprised my lungs did not cave in years ago lol But really they should of.

Still having the moments but stubborn and I have gained a new confidence in myself to beat this.

I hope everyone is doing well and still fighting the good fight.

Have a great long weekend everyone. :)

I havn't been on to write anything for a wee while but come on everyday and read the blogs to see how everyone is going and to get some inspiration.

But I am very proud to say I am still SMOKEFREE. 29 days almost up and feeling good, (700 smokes NOT smoked)

I am walking everyday and trying to stay on healthy food. But food just takes on a whole new meaning doesn't it.lol

I think I have the weight under control and as some of you might of read this normally drives me back to the little white stick.

I havn't stepped on the scales one hurdle at a time is all I can cope with.

Yesterday we went to a wedding and a 21st all in the same day. Didn't drink at either but didn't smoke either. Yahoo.

Stay strong everyone look in the mirror because you all look better and healthier and that is all that matters right now.

wow my day did not start very well today.

My daughter woke me to tell me the dog had got into the rubbish and had also done something to the TV as it is not working.

So okay deep breath.

Got up and went into the shower to my daughter crying that her dad was not home to cook her pancakes and he had promised.

So okay deep breath.

Got to kitchen started making pancakes foe child lol first one was horrible had to change pans.

Hubby comes in makes himself a coffee'

Okay go crazy .

The blood started to boild and was sooo angry had to go to bedroom and cry.

Okay loosing it.

Got on ab circle went like a demon then went for a walk with just the dogs.

Came home.

Okay sane again.

I reckon I might be able to run a marathon if this keeps up.Hehe

Might be single though,Lucky they understand.

Have wonderful smoke free day everyone.

Bring on day 22

Today is day 19 the days are getting easier and passing really quickly.

The other day at day 14 I transferred $243.00 into a savings account that is what I had not spent on smokes.

We are celebrating 25 years of marriage this year and I am determined to get to Sydney for the League grand final to really celebrate.

As I get paid monthly thought I would just keep transfering the savings.

Its so nice (if not that long) to say I have not smoked one smoke this year:)

How is everyone else doing?

Stay strong my nice smelling new friends.

hi everyone I am at day 14 today have had quite a few moments in the last couple of days but I am still smokefree.

This messing with your head must slow down soon doesn't it?

But Like I have send previously this time is it I WILL NOT KILL MYSELF BY TOBACCO.

Keep smiling everyone

ONEDAYATATIME

day 8 is coming to an end soon and it was a great day. I have not smoked 175 smokes in that time.

That is 175 smokes my lungs,hair and skin have not had to cope with yah.

I already feel like I am putting on weight and that has always been my downfall.

The way I am looking at it now is if I am that vain about how I look why oh why did I smoke?

It makes me look grey,wrinkled and sick.

So I feel this time I may of beaten that trick hehe.

so bring it on nicodemon i'll be waiting for ya.

Wow day 6 is almost over. Went back to work yesterday it was better than I thought.

I have a 40 min drive to work and used to be able to get 3 smokes in ,in that time.

Actually enjoying the drive now the car smells great and so do I. Lol

Don't get me wrong still having a few moments but that great deep breath is helping.

I went for my first work tonight looked out ot the ocean and spotted something in the water turned out to be a pod of Orca's awesome'

What a great year this is starting out as .... Positive 2012

To all my fellow day 6's stay strong we can do this.

Thankyou everyone

Day 4 is almost over and back to work tomorrow .
That should be interesting.

Today I had a couple of moments and the best thing I have found to beat it is ... A nice deep breath wow its been a while since I could do that.

I noticed my skin is looking better today and I feel a real sense of achievement in getting through the moments.

Its so good to read everyones stories on here.

Keep it going everyone,

January 1st dawned and i had a sudden panic attack can i do it can I live without my smoke? The answer: yes i can.

I had a couple of moments when I thought I should be going for my ciggie but I waited,made myself busy and it passed.

It will be great this time next year to say I am 1 year over :)

Feeling great now it is just onedayatatime.

Good luck to all of those newbies who started yesterday. We can do it because we are stronger than those mss produced little white sticks. :)

Well the decision has been made and I am counting down now. I am starting a new year as a non smoker . I know I can do this one day at a time.
I have been a slave to the little white sticks LONG ENOUGH.

I also know I will face some challenges but I am determined this time is my time.

I will let you know how I am doing after day one.
