Day 1- again

[sunlovingcriminal]

So, today is day 1. This time logging here to be accountable.

I am an idiot! Smoked in my late teens, and then went through a divorce when I was 36 and took it up again! What a bizarre and stupid thing to do!!

Now 41- and determined not to continue with this nonsense. Doesn't help that now dp also smokes.

Find it harder as he has them... and it sort of tempts me.

But no more. Have a ds. Fed up of being smelly, paying out for them, feeling shit, feeling guilty etc etc.

From today. No more.

hi, have you managed to stay stopped? It is really hard especially when someone else is smoking around you, I am 4 days smoke free today and my husband does smoke but mainly at his garage, but I still smell it.
I have been using patches and the inhaler and so far I seem calm and the only time missing smoking is first thing in the day. Move just read most of the Allen carr book and there is a good few points that stand out that might be helpful to everyone.
reasons for smoking so in my mind I was thinking bordum and hand to mouth action…his response was if it’s hand to mouth action you like why do you even light it? Haha and bordum - his answer is what’s so interesting about a fag like? Lol defo makes me think…I will keep going I am 37 been a smoker for 20 years or so…20 a day… this is prob the best I have felt in my adult life these 4 days.

@Cherylliam86 amazing! Yes!! I have not had one since my original post. Have used a couple of patches. My partner also has stopped... so hoping we both stay on the wagon!

I'm feeling okay. Was a little more tetchy than usual yesterday, but just acknowledging it, and knowing that I'm better than the fags has kept me going.

Boredom was probably my downfall too. And lockdown meant I was more bored. Post lockdown I just carried on though.

I'm determined though. Need the money, and fed up of stinking of fags!

We've got this! 😊 good luck to you 🍀

Wow, you are doing amazing and well done to your husband too…he must see how great you feel and look and do not drink any more!!

I don’t see my husband giving up, he’s a self employed mechanic and has one after every job kind of a reward lol, but this doesn’t bother me (atm).

even though you don’t smoke in the house don’t you find the house smells better or maybe my nose is finally waking up after 20 years haha 😆 good luck and you are clearly doing great and I will continue to follow…. Xx

I mean do not smoke anymore not drink… one step at a time Cheryl c’mon lol 😂
