    No More Butts...The Beginning..

    Morning all,
    Thanks for the support fallenangel.. good to see you Pie!
    I am Day 5 NF today! It feels sooo good! I was reading all the health benefits on the internet yesterday. and there are so many.. just "in case" I ever felt tempted to go back.. but I dont think I will.. now the hardest part of quitting is over, I wouldn't want to risk having to go through it all again,

              Oy, 5 hours in the chair and my nose is still 'frozen' at 6:30 pm. Going to make it an early night. See you all tomorrow. Thanks for asking, Oney.

                Hi all,
                I definately spoke too soon before.. I have had some major cravings and urges to buy some smokes today.. I have been a bit stressed.. my 2 yo son has been driving me nuts! grrr... well, I managed to not buy any smokes, and relaxed by going into my room for a lie-down for 5 mins!
                It was a tough day today.. but I managed!
                I hope everyone is going well - expat? how are you going??

                    Thanks Oney.. they are persistant little buggers.. but with enough ignoring, they go away in the end! I find distraction is the best tool.. and i know it will get easier over time..

                        Good morning ! Katie you are doing great!! My quit day was yesterday morning. When I woke up and knew there were no cigs in the house--I just felt incredibly depressed. For years now what got me out of bed was the thought of a nice fresh cup of coffee--and a cigarette (or 2). I usually smoke at least a pack per day--- or more if I'm not working. So not even 15 minutes after waking up, I was going crazy. So I made a compromise. Yes, I bought a pack but I only smoked five. For me, that is pretty incredible as I would have usually smoked that many before noon. I really want to do this but am finding it even more difficult than going AF. I have so many reasons to stop!!! I'm not giving up-maybe a few days of cutting back and by Thursday none at all. Please keep posting. And maybe we can get some more "Newbie NF's" on here!! All of my friends quit years ago or they never smoked at all. So I'm not getting much support around here. :upset:

                          Thanks oney! xxx
                          expat - Don't be so hard on yourself - it took me 4 quit attempts to get to this stage.. they say quitting smoking is as hard as quitting heroin! At least you are cutting down.. and a pack a day to nothing would be tough, i was a 10 a day smoker.. have you thought of nicotine replacement therapy? such as gum, patches etc.. if you use them for 3 months, and gradually wean off them, its supposed to really help.. i have the gum which i used for the first day or so, but haven't needed it since.. it really helped with the cravings.. its very hard, i understand, even though i had not been smoking that long (nearly 2 years) - but your brain associates so much with smoking.. even in the short time i smoked.. just answering the phone, something stressing me out, after dinner - all associated with smoking.. its hard to change these habits - but you CAN do it! We are right here cheering you on for the next time you are ready,

                            :thanks: I know I can do this. I think I need to have more of a plan to keep my spirits up. And maybe change a few things-like have tea insted of coffee for breakfast. My little girl is on holiday with my ex until the 9th of August. She hates me smoking and I would so like to have this beat before she returns. I hate it too. I have become a slave to nicotine. It is so expensive too! Almost 6 euros a pack-don't know how much that is in dollars. I know I will look and feel better if I stop. I've already picked a lovely perfume to reward myself with if I stop for a few weeks. The perfume is 60 euros and at the rate I was smoking-I'll save that pretty quick if I just STOP the damn cigs. Because what's the point in an expensive perfume if I smell like an ashtray??? I am going to do this!!

                              P.S. I have never tried heroin but this is pretty tough:H. I think I am going with the nicotine patch idea.
