Oh hear I go again, promised i wouldn't but....
You lot have mostly (!) been doing really well, BUT !!!!
As many of you know, I'm a many times ex-smoker but still will never be a 'non' smoker.
I've been watching this thread but trying to keep out of it cos I'm soooo boring now, but as you've had hiccups, here goes:
I used to find my weakest point (apart from the pub) was getting petrol, I was so used to picking up 40 B&H at the same time. I used to try and fix it so I'd always fill up at a 'Pay at Pump' station, that way I avoided all the sweets too.
After the inital physical withdrawal symptoms stopped (which is quite a short period of time, around 7 days I think) my brain used to play tricks on me
'well you've lasted this long so you've proved you can do it, so just having one every so often will be fine'
NO IT WON'T, everytime I've thought that (I've 'given up' 4 times) I've been back on to 20+ a day in less than a week. I have to think of myself as a recovering ex-smoker not a non-smoker, even after 4 years of not smoking (I once went back to it after 6 years, how stupid am I ?)'
Also, after 3 months or so remember that your head will say 'I've made it, proved myself so just one won't hurt' OH YES IT WILL and you'll be back here saying 'on day 1'
Not trying to be horrid, but you all need a kick up the arse cos it's sooo easy to make excuses
Listen to WWW cos she's a star exS who has really struggled too.
