    No More Butts...The Beginning..

    Daz, That's superb! And how smart of you to know what you need to quit. I hope you're still feeling fine and reach your smoke-free goal!

    For me, I've just about quit this quit. Thought I had a good plan and strong motivation, but I've grown weary of feeling uncomfortable, at loose ends, anxious... Made it nearly three weeks, but don't have the will to soldier on. Perhaps next time I should consider the patch. Right now, I just don't know.

              Oney,
              Thanks for it. I have read everything till the 40th page. Will finish the rest tomorrow.
              Its day 6 now for me. It is still not easy, but I did not give in. Not even one puff.
              I don't have strong urges, but one constant. It's driving me mad. I really hope I will fall asleep soon, so it will clear my head.

              Oney...... you are an inspiration. I feel so good, so full energy. I so want to quit.

              Thanks

                Oney,

                Today is WEEK ONE FOR ME!!!!!!!!
                The worst is disappointment when you forget you are not smoking. You finish doing something and then you think- Ok time for ciggie and then this realisation and huge disappointment follows.
                Thanks Oney, you helped me so much.

                    Hey oney and netty,
                    I haven't posted for awhile.. been pretty busy!
                    I gave in and went back to smoking for 6 days.. BUT, I have given up again, and its also ONE week for me today too! yay.. I am feeling much stronger this time, and not been thinking about it as much as last time.. this time is definately for good methinks
                    Netty - I know what you mean about that "disappointing" feeling.. but then I remember how horrible smoking is, how its all a con, how it doesn't lead to anything positive at all.. and I feel so much happier to be out of the 'smoking addiction prison'.. its such a freeing feeling, I am happier than ive been in ages just knowing I can beat this thing and not be a smoker anymore! and that is definately something to celebrate! (with chocolate lol..)

                          Congrats Oney!

                          8 day for me. I believe its getting easier and easier. I am having dreams that I am smoking and drinking and I am extremely disappointed in those dreams. The funny thing is I am still trying to kick it even in dreams. I am telling myself - ok this is my last beer/smoke and I will try again.

                          I wake up with relief. No hangover and NF. I am so proud of myself

                          Netty

                          Thanks Oney once again. This tread helped me heaps.

                            Congratulations Oney, that is a serious achievement

                            Giving up smoking is really hard for anyone but i especially admire and am in awe of people that are trying to give up both AL and smokes at the same time, that shows some strength
                            There will come a time when you believe everything is finished. That will be the beginning.

                                This is great to have a thread about this, but you may also want to check out www.quitnet.com. It has forums, chat rooms, etc. and is for people quitting. Some very good advice. The chat room is Always busy, even in the middle of the night, since there are people (like here) from all over the world!

                                I also read "The Easy Way to Quit Smoking". Very helpful. This is my longest (and Praying my LAST) quit!! I quit on Christmas Day, 2009... and haven't had one since. Which is truly amazing, since willpower isn't really in my vocabulary! :H

                                I was VERY addicted, I should add, and smoked for 35 yrs or so... If I can do it, ANYONE can!! But good luck to all of you. (I used nicorette lozenges, which I think helped, especially those first few weeks.)
