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!

Why Christchurch

Hey guys havnt been on since friday, was without power half day on sat, woke up to stuff flying around my bedroom my tv getting thrown to the ground, wondering how my kids were. My son came to my room as soon as it had stopped i tried to get out of my bed to get to my kids but could not even stand!!! My 10mth old daughter slept through the whole thing lucky her!!! Well i had been 3 days non smoking at that stage and had already been through crap and then that i have to say i am now on monday and have had 4 ciggies which i do congratulate myself for cause i do have a whole packet here and have been trying to control myself... Well will just get back on board and get rid of packet and start again it so frustrating that when i try and give up this bloody happens...........

Well done Chrissie - it was wild wasn't it - I felt like a drunken sailor trying to get to the door - worst thing was....I was sober!!! I hope that you're feeling a little more settled now - I know it's not back to normal but it's better than it was and the Sun is shining. Great day for catching up on the washing ...the wind is there too.

Talk more later. Be good and remember to boil the water!! What area are you in? I'm in Spreydon.

HI Chrissie. See how powerful that demon nicatine is he will do any thing to get you back. :-) but you can just get on board again all is not lost. I have been there and done that. Once I was over a year and a friend gave me a cigar and before you know it i was back on cigarettes and quit many times and then got right back on so when you get back to normal just start over no big lose that you cant over come.

Im gutted, I have started again. I was doing so well....My partner started smoking again beginning of last week and I resisted..but Sat morning's quake shook me up something chronic and I started again, only because there were smokes in the house....we were both pretty stressed, worried about family that we couldnt get hold of....its been a very long weekend. helped family up in Kaiapoi yesterday, back at work today. Ill give up again, I will have to make another quit date and try again, Im very disappointed, but im tired with lack of sleep and cant get down about it at the moment. Big thanks to those that supported me, ill be back at a later date sooner rather than later hopefully :)
