Support me
Day 3
Well i have woken this morning and feeling better in myself not all stuffed up in my nose and generally feel ok. I am feeling like i am in limbo mode between still wanting a smoke but not wanting to ruin what i have achieved already.. I was so happy i have decided to not drink at the moment well i am giving up as alcohol is a trigger for me wanting to smoke, my partner has also said he will be alcohol free with me which is going to be a great help. I also have found that it is not so much the nicotine that i am missing it is the habit, i am a at home mum and ciggies gave me something to do weird so have to find other stuff to do more housework LOL. I hope i can say goodbye to smokes for eva have been smoking for 19yrs..............
Hi Chrissie, it's day 3 for me too. I am not a drinker so don't have to worry about that bit, but i have slept for the first 2 days, couldn't even get my daughter to school yesterday. Got up today ok and feel fine, especially no yuk taste in my mouth anymore. I am breathing easier too. Occassional thought of "i'll just have a smoke" but remind myself i am a non smoker. Yay. Think i am becoming a bit bad tempered so having to watch that. Are u on patches,gum or willpower only.
BRAVO Chrissie - I think that once we all think about what smoking was to us we'd all discover it was the habit that kept us hooked - more so than the nicotine!! And like me I had to quit alcohol too - until I broke the connection - now I can drink alcohol but choose not to very often! Maybe that was all habit too i.e. Friday night, having a cigarette..have a drink or 3 as well. Now no smokes and Friday night doesn't mean drinks! You can do this Chrissie - keep on blogging as I found that helped a lot when I just needed to vent. ☺
Thanks guys for your support i have the determination to do it this time, being able to come on here and talk about how i feel is a big help!!! Sometimes my partner who doesnt smoke, cant seem to understand exactly how hard it is to give up!!! In saying that very supportive of me and really wants me to give up to as his father died from cancer and was from smoking!!! Hey tiggie i am actually taking the Zyban tablets and i have also got patches and lozenges but only used one patch so far on first day!! I have used these Zyban before and gave up for 3mths but thought i could smoke when i drink haha not so!!!! so here i am again trying with no alcohol this time!!!!!!!!!
