To all my fellow CHCH bloggers
Hi all, hope you and your families are all doing ok thru this terrible time. My family & I are ok very scared especially after this morning.
We are still sleeping in the lounge. My first day at work today my partners at home with our son who is just past it. The is terrified and we are trying to act calm but hes not silly.
I been naughty since Saturday I thought I will make today my quit day but after this morning I just couldnt. I will stop at the moment I just feel I cant. Some will look at that and think yes you can but I know I will again and believe me it will be sooner than you think.
Our house has some cracks in our ceilings which have got bigger after the shocks last night and this morning just keeping an eye on it and a big crack at the front of the house & at the back like in a straight line.
Just received a call before my partners parents house round from us has moved off the foundations & the front wall is falling. So I am finishing soon and we are going round to try & brace it but will try & get them to stay with us.
Take care all please dont be hard on me for slipping. I am definetly getting back on the straight very soon.

Hey there Yas - it seems to be getting worse doesn't it?? The initial big quake was bad enough but all of these little ones are definitely opening up cracks. My kitchen ceiling has a large crack and paint is falling from it. The chimney has worsened and we're sleeping in the hallway. Just me and my daughter. Got supplies set up - but when we gotta get out will we have time to grab them????
Thinking of you Yas - be kind to yourself and continue with your quit journey once this has all calmed down. If you feel you need cigarettes to get you through this then so be it! I'd start taking heroin if I knew a dealer!! lol Just kidding. Take care and hopefully I won't see you in the shelter!!! ♥
hey yas01 just wanna let you no we here to support you for starting your journey as i heard the otherday even starting to quit is the first step, not to be hard on you. i think your probable being hard enuff on yourself so give yourself a break your doing a grate job just coming back on here and checking in. not sure if i should say this but if i were anywhere near the quake zone i would've caveed by now to im only at day six remember im glad your family still have your house and hope the damage is fixable, my uncle was in the worst hit area and the house him and his wife have raised there whole family biological/adopted/fostered and other over the past 27years has been very badly damaged and is a no go zone the parts of it that are still standing will need to be pulled down and they will start again, anyway take cear of your family and i hear its acually easyier to quit when youve already given it a honest go all the best hope it calms down soon
Hey Yas, dont be too hard on yourself. Unfortunately I slipped up as well. My BF was smoking last week and when the earthquake struck on Saturday morning him and I were sitting outside puffing like nothing else existed. Honestly, I cant believe i have started again, but somehow and I know its in my head, but smoking is supporting me at the moment,BF's auntys house in Kaiapoi is in half and living with family members, I work near lyttleton and this morning's aftershock was terrifying...Ill give up again once this all settles down , im angry with myself, but at the moment its reassuring me in this stressful time. I guess it doesnt help that all my family are in the North Island, so I dont have my mum here or anything like that...ahh well, shit happens, Ill quit again soon.
You guyz are awesome....totally & utterly understand...we are all here for you ....you all know you can do it....& to be able to function normally aint part of the equation....thinking of you alll do not be too hard on yourselves at this time...there is time soon .....take care ...keep blogging...keep safe ...my thoughts & prayers are with you all xx
