    Ready to quit smoking? or Have you already Quit?

    Hi guys, hang in there biscuit, you're doing great! I'm coming up on 4 months since my quit date and 30 days since my last F-Up. Got invited to the bar last night, but luckily hubby didn't want to go. I just don't feel like I'm up to that challenge yet--the bar was my favorite place to smoke and of course drink. Only one bar in town that allows smoking now, so that helps at least. Just need a little more time I think (hope).

      LVT25, I am hanging in, AF seems to be way easier than NF for me anyway. I think it is because I have smoked way longer than I drank. However I have made it to day 18 AF
      and day 7 NF. Does the crave for cigs go away eventually?

        You bet it does! And.... you also will get to the point where you can't remember what it really felt like to smoke, and the thought of smoking feels so unnatural.
        It does take time to be comfortable being a nonsmoker... but believe me, it will happen!
        AF 6 years
        NF 7 years

          hi ya all!

          well done biscuit, keep it up, the cravings will get less and less and not so strong, i guess it depends on how u are doing it, cold turkey? or with aids? also keep reminding urself why u are doing it and the benefits and keep treating urself.

          i am 131 days AF and i had bad day sat with cravings for alcohol, i got through it though.

          I have been quit for 2 Months, 2 Days, 7 hours and 46 seconds (63 days). I have saved ?626.58 by not smoking 2,531 cigarettes. I have saved 1 Week, 1 Day, 18 hours and 55 minutes of my life. My Quit Date: 28/04/2008 00:00

          cya all soon, keep going everyone.

            Thanks, Fallen and Barebones for the encouraging words. I am marching on and everytime I want
            or have a thought of smoking I say out loud " I pity the fool that smokes" kinda in my best
            Mr T. A-Team fashion. LOL Went to the casino over the weekend and I got to say it alot. The funny
            thing is smelling the smoke was not appealing or repulsing so maybe I have turned a corner.
            Thanks for listening.

              Hi guys,

              Just wanted to check in with everyone! Hope you are still all NF! I just hit the 4 month mark and i can't believe it! The 30 days AF REALLY helped I think. I was around a couple of my smoking friends this week end at the lake--and I didn't even think of asking for one. Of course I wasn't drinking either. Both of them are trying to quit using Chantix, and have cut down they say. It will be harder for them as they are full-time smokers--I told them about my friends here that have had great success with the Chantix.

              I just hope and pray that I am truly done with the foul ciggies! I think I need to read Allen Carrs book again to keep me motivated and to ingrain into my brain that I AM A NON-SMOKER!

              I'm going to my family reunion this weekend. It's about the only time we all get together anymore since our parents passed away. My brother smokes, unless he quit. When I first quit in February, by SIL laughed because I had only quit a couple of days at that time. We'll see if she laughs now. Than should be enough to keep me strong!!

              Have a great week/weekend all! Happy 4th!:h

                Hi LVT well done you that is great.
                Unfortunatley I did not have a good weekend with moderating and not smoking - I accidentally went a bit over the top saturday night - stupid stupid stupid.... I have got no tolerance for alcohol now compared with before joining MWO and of course once I had one or two drinks I was desperate for a smoke. I am ashamed to say I was so desperate that I bummed one from a stranger and went outside to secretly smoke it. I had just got it lit and in my mouth when my 16 yr old daughter came out and caught me - she was obviously watching me. She nearly freaked out when she saw me with the offending ciggie and she frightened the living daylights out of me. Needless to say I dropped the ciggie in shock so dont think I even managed a drag. She has given me such a hard time about it. She says that I cannot say I havent smoked for 3 months now that I have to go back to zero- yeah right..... Anyway next day I apologised and thanked her for saving me (from myself) and she has agreed to forgive me! So am back on the straight and narrow and clearly still need to be very careful with the AL. Think I wil go back to AF its safer.

                    boozehag - yeah, don't bash yourself. You are doing soooo very well!! Lighting a ciggie isn't a slip or a failure. Why was your daughter so upset? I can understand her caring, but it seems like she was REALLY upset.

                    I slipped up last weekend. I ended up drinking.... and I even bummed a smoke off of my neighbour. Oh well such is life. I didn't beat myself up about it because I am trying to focus on the positives. Up to that point, I was doing maaaaaaaaarvelously! (and YOU were/are too!!!)

                    barebones and LVT way to go!!!

                      OUCH!! I am amazed how much easier it is to stay off the ciggies as long as I stay off the beer. I'm pretty sure I would be right there with you BH! I have come real close to bumming off of strangers before. It is not any reason to feel bad, but I know just how you feel! My kids would probably be the same way. They hardly noticed when I quit smoking, but boy they sure notice if I do!

                      To me the nicodemon and the AL monster hang together and keep saying--just one, that won't hurt!! :H

                      You guys are doing great--keep it up!!:h

                        fell off one wagon, still on the other

                        Ok still not smoking but last week, decided to drink and have drank everyday since last
                        Wednesday. Have lots of excuses but none are valid. Will start AF tomorrow again since
                        I am drinking today.
