Need your help - from tomorrow...........(and my 'diary')

[Gwenick]

as I've decided it's now or never to quit smoking . Main motivation isn't so much 'health' related (although obviosuly that does play a big part) but also just can't AFFORD to keep buying them, usualy only have a few each day - but recently been having more and it's costing me a fortune.

So - need your help and motivation PLEASE

PS - this will also become my diary for recording how it's going.

But I could go all day without one. Weird! Definitely drinking and smoking go hand in hand. And not even alcohol necessarily - just being in a pub/club! When I stopped smoking, I found my friendships changed - I didn't go to the pub as much and didn't miss it!

depends on who you are with as well i find

I think one of the reasons I found it so easy to give up was that everyone I knew smoked Marlboro Lights and I HATED them.

I'll smoke anywhere, on my own, or with friends - probably smoke more on my own that around friends - as most of my friends don't smoke.

i change my brand every so often

righteo - of to bed (bit early for me but for once I'm tired YIPEE!) going to have my LAST cigarette before I sleep

I did too, but never Marlboro. Smoked Silk Cut (rarely), B&H (more often) and Embassy No 1 (most of all).

WEll so far so good - haven't had one yet (don't actually have any left in the house LOL) and been past the shop on the way to drop DS1 at nursery and coming home again. Still got to walk past again to pick him up though

oooo well done gwenick!! keep it up, will check up later...

...i always find, if i have an extra strong mint, it puts me off from having a fag for a bit....worth a try if you feel like one

well I did it - I managed not only to walk past the shop but to walk in, check my balance on tthe ATM and buy too sweets for the boys without buying cigarettes (although I did end up buying myself a chocolate bar )

well done you!! im proud of you!

carry this on, and you will have me giving up before long as in inspiration from reading your thread

how has it been today?

hmmm don't ask - lapsed again

never mind gwenick...each time you lapse, start a new date and time to start over again

good luck
