Another fag free day and not thinking about it-enough to think about anyway,only 1 week left at work then redundant!!!

Where are you trinityrocks? Hope you are ok

lucy5 · 30/03/2006 22:29

Right ladies, i'm going to need all the help you can give me! I have tried and failed to give up once this year and I am now pregnant, so I need to give up now. It wont be as easy as just stopping and scare stories wont work. So please help me.

notasheep · 30/03/2006 22:56

lucy5-I stopped with my last pregnancy in February 2004,the only way i managed to get through each day(but then as time passed it did become alot easier) was by telling myself I had NO CHOICE! Rather than TRYING to stop or thinking shall i or shall not have a cigarette today there was no choice.I could not have a fag full stop.

It was sooooooooo hard,but it did work,and the cravings did go Eventually

Hope this helps a little

lucy5 · 30/03/2006 23:01

Thankyou. I have given myself until Monday to stop. Thinking along the same lines as you. I am going to try not to smoke before then and Monday I am stopping.

Squarer · 30/03/2006 23:09

lucy5 - go out and buy yourself the Allen Carr book "Easy Way To Give Up Smoking". Trust me!

lucy5 · 30/03/2006 23:26

Thanks, i have it, although it's hidden away Wink Dropinthe gave it too me last time I tried. Ive got the best incentive now though. Will go and dust it off!

Squarer · 30/03/2006 23:34

Ahh! Free your mind of the last time - you just need to understand what he is telling you this time (and if you have read the book before you know how I mean that)

Funny thing is though, I bought his The Only Way to Give Up Smoking Permanantly book, without realising it was the follow up the The Easy Way. Make a fresh start. Buy the Only Way.... (I would send you mine but I have lent it out already!)

notasheep · 01/04/2006 12:57

lucy5-i did Allen Carr too,bloody marvelous

Flutterbee,that 3 months went quick.Well Done,hope your holiday was fab,you didnt say

babyonboard · 03/04/2006 11:41

Hi can I join please!?

stopped smoking a year ago as soon as I found out I was preg.
then couple of times the last moth i have had a few when out with friends.
also have the occasional one (maybe twice a week) outside front door with DP when Ds is in bed.

Very annoyed with myself as I hate smoking

It's roll ups which i try to convince myself isn't as bad
but desperately wnt to stop before it becomes more of a habit!

babyonboard · 03/04/2006 11:41

and well done to all of those succesful so far!

notasheep · 04/04/2006 14:07

hit a bit of a plateau today,its happened before and i have had a fag in the past.
Canadian Mum mentioned 3days/3 weeks/3months aims-I am feeling VERY Cold Turkey-dont WANT a fag but know that if dp was here i would want to nick a roll up

notasheep · 05/04/2006 22:04
