So 2nd quit while on the Quit Train is quite strange indeed.......only 3 days in and I feel like its been at least 2 weeks! Seems like forever........Ive had some beautiful people contact me privately and its so nice to know that you care..........had to laugh this morning as my significant other went out to have his half a smoke this morning and how cold he was when he did....I really did chuckle........

Hello Blog.......feeling kinda strange today........little blips of "IWAC" but not really......kinda weird, they're not really serious thoughts, more like just little balloons of thoughts that pop.......the thought comes and then when I think of how horrible it REALLY will be, its like "No thank you, Im good"......other than that feeling kinda energetic and spunky........getting ready to do some walking, then come home and take care of other things.......maybe make a homemade carrot cake with the carrots from out of my garden.......making a homemade pizza tonight for supper and get some work done of the computer for my biz.......

NOPE!

Im here whatever this is for..........

Not sure what to write today.......a little scared to write anything.........quit time was actually yesterday at 8am........24 hrs has been achieved........I hope that others who read this understand, we all have our different journeys for this....we all have our different stories.....we all have different minds, souls and beliefs........I do hope to help others one day in their journey (when I understand the journey myself) and do hope I will not judge their actions along their journey........

Well alrighty then :(

Thanks everyone for reaching out

So, had a weak moment.......I slipped Friday eve.........not feeling very good about this AT ALL........start over? AGAIN! Never give up! Keep trying........

NOPE!!

Nice to meet you Tyme! I read what you have posted and I can relate to a lot of what you said.......one day at a time! You got this!

NOPE!!

Is this for me? LOL....if yes, Im good!

Thank you for the words of encouragement :)

NOPE!! With a smile :D

So here is the funny part.......in my past attempts to quit, I had often thought about starting a blog or more like an online journal if you will.....so this is pretty darn cool I must say :D Destiny maybe?? Day 3 of not smoking........actually 36 hours as of 10:07am this morning......feeling pretty good, actually spectacular.....breathing is getting better and overall just plain feel good including my attitude. This can actually be a dangerous time for me as in the past, I have said to myself......"you're doing good! Lets have 1 to celebrate" :o So, with that being said, I did have a IWAC thought this morning but dismissed by going walking and doing other things.......it has passed and I no longer want one.........(PS: I have smokers who live in the same household so its not hard to smoke at all--smoking is not allowed in the house tho) Bought a couple books today to read when I finish the one Im currently reading.........thanks to another suggestion on here I will be reading more to help detour my mind to better things.......also bought a crossword book. Its been my experience that if I dont occupy my mind, it can go a little berserk with the smoking thing (and just overthinking in general) so the more things I do that occupy it, the better........Last night I colored while I listened to the subliminal no smoking video and that was pretty cool if anyone else is interested in trying that method to help :)

A little late to the party but it was NOPE this morning and still NOPE! :D

Nope!

Ok. so here we go! NOPE! :)

Hi, Hopefully Im posting this in the right spot for an intro....let me start off by saying Im super happy about being here. I have tried numerous times to quit smoking for several years and even got addicted to the nicotine patches at one point. Its been a long road but am hopeful and confident, this will by my final and last attempt at quitting and be forever. A little background...I am currently doing the Allen Carr Online Quit Smoking Course....actually, to be honest, Im working going thru it for the 3rd time. The first time I did the course, I was absolutely amazed at how easy it actually was to quit.....went for 7 days without even an urge to smoke and for some stupid reason, I had that ONE cigarette. I want that feeling back....it was AMAZING! I was at total peace with quitting and I know I can do this again. So, here I am in this forum for support to stay on the NOPE train :) (Yes, Ive been doing a little reading on the forum :) ) A little more background which I think plays a part of this being so difficult for me. I actually quit for about 6 months or so about a year and half ago after ending up in the hospital with an attack which come to find out, I have emphysema. It was easy to quit then too but there again, I had that ONE cigarette and off the races I went eventually. The reason I say this plays a part of it being hard to quit is because I guess I can honestly say I hate myself for not quitting years ago and am in a vicious cycle of wanting to quit but beating myself up because I didnt years ago and also because everytime I quit, I start back up again....not sure if this is making any sense....... My plan is to complete the Allen Carr Course again, be active on here and I have also looked into a YouTube Subliminal Videos to help me through. The ULTIMATE plan is to quit and quit once and for all.....I can do this, I know I can...... Thank you all for reading and listening, looking forward to being a part of this community :)
