Yep, I’ve been a non-smoker for over a month. In that time, I’ve had one indiscretion, but other than that, I’m basically free from it. It’s difficult – I’m in that limbo zone where I don’t smoke, I don’t want to smoke, but for some reason my mind is convinced that I could/should have just one cigarette. And I actually think I could have one and it’d be OK. But that’s sort of not really the point.. the point is I don’t smoke anymore… so I shouldn’t “just have one”.
I have a horrible feeling that this phase is going to be a while to get over.
It’s been 2 weeks since I gave up and it’s been a lot easier than expected. For me it’s more of a social habit than a proper addiction. I very nearly smoked a cigarette at the pub last night but managed not to. Let’s hope we can keep this up…
Yeh, keep going. I quite often very nearly smoke, but it’s just a question of will power – keep reminding yourself why you quit and you should be OK
smoked 2 packs a day…(not proud)…I’m on my 25th day of not smoking..I’m a wimp, using the patch and taking bupropion to help the cravings. The Dr. wants me on this regimen for 6 mos. because of my lungs, she wants to make sure I quit. I haven’t cheated yet, but I get a little down when I want one and know I can’t. I suppose this is for the best, I do know that I can’t stand the smell right now…lol. Good Luck Everyone….KP
