good luck, i don't think i'll ever be able to stop

imaginaryfriend · 17/08/2006 22:57

how many do you smoke southeast? I've had periods of my life where I've smoked so many that it scares me to think about it. And I've felt that I am a Smoker, i.e. somebody who is somehow 'destined' to smoke. I still feel that. I'm just going against my sense of 'destiny' iyswim?

imaginaryfriend · 18/08/2006 09:51

Good morning all! Dp had a pack of 10 fags last night (he's one of those VERY annoying occasional smokers ... grrrrrrrr ...) and I didn't even take a sniff. What a good girl I am.

southeastastra I was a bit like that, I'd have a few drags then nub my fags so that it took me a long time to get through a pack of 10. I know smoking nubs is disgusting but I was a disgusting smoker, well smoking IS disgusting. So even though I was only smoking under 5-a-day at the poitn of this quit, I was smoking them steadily over the whole day. Some trigger points I'm finding REALLY difficult. First thing in the morning, getting off the bus... But hey, it's day 5 for me and no slips so far ...

It can be as hard as you like, as long as you dont cave in its FINE.
Soon, I promise, you will find theres a 10 minute gap when it hasnt penetrated your thoughts, and it gets longer and longer...2 hours, 3.
Then one day you will realise that yesterday you didnt think about fags at all.
Keep it up, anything but smoking ok!

imaginaryfriend · 18/08/2006 11:12

This morning's been surprisingly tough, cc, I don't know why particularly . I have a horrible sense of something being 'missing' and a really crappy craving which won't budge and is hard to distract myself from. But I also know that if I had a puff now it would also make me feel lousy, sick and dizzy, it would taste vile wouldn't it? And I'd SOOO regret it ...

imaginaryfriend · 18/08/2006 11:12

cc, I haven't asked you what you thought about Allan Carr's terrible cancer news? It's so not fair, is it, that he should get that now after having quit so long and helped so many others to quit.
