Really want a fag right nowReally want a fag right nowI'm sure most of you didn't know I smoked.
And you'll all be shocked when you remember I've been in hospital. ( not proud and not looking for sympathy ) But it has been 3 weeks today, and I've had no help and can't mention it on FB as my family are on there. I gave up years ago and started haveing 1 or 2 at work last year. I've had a very difficult few months for various reasons and a particuarly bad day and just want a fag. Anyway, I thought it would be good if we had a thread where we can admit our faults and bad habbits and talk about them without judgement, but with lots of support.

Re: Really want a fag right nowWell done Saz
You've pretty much done it now, it's all just in your head. And you KNOW that if you give in and have one (because you've had a bad day), you'll feel guilty and therefore your day will become worse I know it's not easy and we're all so proud of you I've had THREE CKK's today Lucy x

Re: Really want a fag right nowIt is so difficult to give up smoking, please don't give up it is achievable and if you've done it for three weeks you CAN keep going
ps even if you slip and have one keep trying it doesn't matter! Julie x
Re: Really want a fag right nowSaz, well done for 3 weeks not smoking, just sending hugs
Re: Really want a fag right nowWell done Saz, sending you a hug too
The talent for being happy is appreciating and liking what you have, instead of what you don't have

No problem can withstand the power of continuous thought.
Re: Really want a fag right nowI feel your pain, so many times did I stop smoking and then just have one because it wouldn't hurt... back to 20+ a day
I go by the assumption that I am a nicotine addict so I don't risk just having one or a cigar (which I didn't smoke anyway) to celebrate. You are better off without nicotine in your life. Keep up the good work stopping (you are not giving anything up, just breaking an addiction). Bah Humbug
Re: Really want a fag right nowI am now six years a non-smoker after a 40-a-day habit for almost twenty years.
If I can do it, anyone can! Keep trying hun and find some thing to keep your hands busy, bake some cakes, pick up a new hobby (crochet worked for me) or perhaps do some seed sowing? Good Luck! I swear I'll have a permanent imprint of my palm over my face from reading forums.
Re: Really want a fag right nowFirst of all for your bad day.
Now, all things will pass. Except emphysema. My MIL died of it, and my Auntie too a few months ago - and she was still trying to give up the ciggies. I remember being gobsmacked in a local town seeing a lady with a nebuliser in one hand and a fag in the other, alternating the two. Well done for being three weeks clean. You really don't need those things! Re: Really want a fag right nowThanks everyone
I'm feeling much better today. 3 weeks and 1 day Sarah - slave to Cats Anthony, Elsa and Pippa, Chickens, Heidi, Fleur, Gabby and Marmite, R.I.P Cadbury
Re: Really want a fag right nowKeep it up Saz I've had asthma since childhood but I smoked for 26 years I gave up 10 years ago, just stopped! no patches or gum etc. So If I can do it anyone can Just wish it was as easy to give up fattening food

Re: Really want a fag right nowWell done Saz, you're doing great! I'm another who knows just how hard it is to give up, especially when things aren't going so well but I also know how worthwhile it is sticking to your guns! Like Julieann says though, if a sly one slips through the net, it's not a failure, just a blip! I did what Knikitta did and cross stitched my way through it so my hands were kept busy. Good luck hun, you can do it & we're all here if you need a rant!
