day 7 , 1 week down

[barb6374]

Hi Everyone

Well its day 7 today and at 10.30 2night i will have completed 1 week.

I still have a really bad sore throat and feel like poo

I was googleing and read an article about tips on giving up smoking. One of the tips was to think " if i want to smoke i will ". So now instead of battling with myself saying no i wont smoke i just think well if i do want one i will and funny but i havent even had a crave. Whether because in the back of my mind i have taken the pressure off of giving up , who knows !!!!.
Anyways , its working for me at the moment, prob feel completely different 2morrow lol.
So as it is today , i dont want to smoke and dont feel any urge to smoke.

Take care
Barb xxxx

Hi Barb

Sorry your throat is still bad hun But today is day 7 and that's great just hang in there I promise it gets mush easier as you go along this road to freedom

Early in my quit when the demons tried to get me back I would say to myself if I still want one in 5 mins I'll go and buy some then I stretched it to 10 then half an hour and so on

I never did go and buy those fags though

Love and a Hug

yeah theres something in that idea, that's the attitude I adopted in a pub one night when I was climbing the walls, in 5 minutes if I feel the same I will have one, I got through the night with out one and bugger me I was getting it bad

If it works adopt it, if you don't know if something works try it (back to front a bit I think) haha ah well you all know what I mean.....................don't you?

One whole week, haha I think I might get back onto Gavin later and usher him this way let him see you doing it............quitting smoking that is jeeeze I can't take you anywhere Barb, somethings never change eh?
