I AM GIVING UP SMOKING TOMORROW ...... I AM I AM IAM

[mosschops30]

Have joined a new gym, sick of feeling like shit all the time, coughing, wondering when my tumours gonna appear and smelling like a tramp.

Tomorrow is the day and I am gonna do it

(whispers - but will need loads of support)

Hellooooooooooooooo....

Day 4 quit and day 2 cold turkey.

Feel okay to be honest but I could not sleep at all last night! I was wide a bloody wake. I think I did eventually nod off but was soon awake..it's bizarre! It was like a huge caffeine buzz but without the caffeine. SO frustrating.

How are you doing today Mossy? I also wish I could do the 'one a day' thing but I'm so crap and 1 would quickly lead to 20.

Hows it going lushaddict? Hope youre still doing well it must be a week for you now, it'll be a week for me tomorrow night.

On the plus side I feel much better, have trained 6 days out of 7 this week and its nice.
On the down side I miss it soooo much, just miss having those few moments to myself, i would love a glass of wine or two tonight but cant face it without a fag

Oh well done Moss, I know it's soooo bloody hard. I actually love smoking and miss it like crazy..
just the moments sat in the garden with a coffee and a fag

I'm day 7 today as I quit on the 1st of the month, have been cold turkey for 4 days.

I went out last night for a meal with colleagues and was craving a fag while I was getting ready but didn't give in. I did not miss them either and never gave it a thought all night which is really weird as if I'm using nicotine replacement I crave like mad!

Am sleeping better now too though I still wake up quite abit it isn't for long.

I don't doubt the cravings will come and smack me in the face again in the next week or so and I could easily spark-up now and nip outside for one but the craving itself isn't there..it's just 'wanting one for having ones' sake

oh sally and youve been so good for so long but its hard with all the stress we're under, and working shifts is enough to drive you to it. Enjoy it for now and then give up again when ur ready
I will have a body like a goddess if I keep substituting fags for gym time

Lushaddict we're doing soooo well well done for managing to go out and not smoke, Im not sure I'll be able to do that, I know I'll smoke when I have a drink but if i can just keep it to that.
I know exactly what u mean about wanting one for wanting ones sake, not actual craving.

hey lush hows it going?

I caved yesterday, we had a bbq and some wine, and a I had a few fags.
Have just bought 10 now to 'enjoy' out the garden, Im quite stressed have a presentation tomorrow which is the final thing towards my degree, I have promised myself that as soon as its over tomorrow lunchtime I will get back on the wagon

Hope ur doing better than me

Ahh, sweetie..don't beat yourself up. Like you say, you're under pressure what with the presentation etc.

I'm doing okay but eating lots of chocolate. I have also thought of sitting in the sunshine with a packet so to get it outta my mind I've stayed in and cleaned up! I am really missing the 'relaxation' thing connected to smoking

I hope all goes okay tomorrow Mossy.

thanks lush, what a lovely post

well I did great in my presentation so thats a huge relief. Am going back on the inhalator tomorrow just to get me through the first day or so.

Well done you, you must be so proud of urself, youve done amazingly

How are things going Mossy??

I'm on day 14, can't believe it

I hope you're coping okay luv x
