My Stopping Smoking Blog.

This is part of my blog, "Stopping Smoking." Have transfered it on to this one!
Here I am, on day one again. Son is on day one as well but this is his first go.
It's not far off 3 pm and I haven't had a cig. I just hope he hasn't either! But if he is anything like me, he might have slipped.

Seeing I have tried this a few times now, I seem to be finding it easier. Not thinking about cigs every two minutes. Whether this will last, I dunno.
Will let you know how son as got on later. Bless him.
It is a struggle, I have my sweets.
Day Two.

I know we aren't in bed yet, but I have just phoned my son and neither of us has had a ciggie today! I feel so happy. I just hope he can do it. I have every faith in him though.
At least we might be able to support each other.

Day Three

It was 21st October when I decided to give up the cigs. If only I hadn't slipped!
I would have had a cigaretteless month. Very annoying.
I find I don't think of cigs as much as I did at first. Hope that means the craving is wearing off. I have a slight cold and don't feel 100% so that will help.
I am still on the patches, started again with them on Monday morning. Instead of a fag, I stuck on a patch. (It saves on lighter fuel! lol.)
I know they say you should throw things like that away, but I haven't.
I just hope son is doing ok today. He is at work and I don't want to nag but I do hope he is sticking it out!
Life goes on.
Do you know? I wish I hadn't started smoking all those years ago. But it seemed cool, no one told you it was bad for you. In fact it was supposed to relax you. I certainly didn't know that it didn't and your blood pressure rose and your arteries got furred up. THEN, you are hooked. Too late! Hopefully, if I kick this habit, it won't be too late for me.
Later this day!.
It's not far off 6 pm now. I rather fancy a cig. But I am going to win this battle! Oh yes.

Day Four.

Guess wot? And I am not proud of this at all!
I am back on day one. If I hadn't had those two cigs before bed last night, I would be on day three!
Keep coming up with silly exuses.
One was, I had just finished work after two days. Another one was, two won't hurt. Actually, it was one won't hurt and turned into two. Bad. The excuse I came up with for that was, two days nearly, without, so allowed 2 fags.
Wot a stupid and pathetic excuse eh? I shouldn't have to make up silly excuses. All I am doing is hurting me.
Maybe I should get rid of my cigs. The experts say you should. I just feel that if I do that, I will be driven into buying some! Another silly excuse? I think so!

ANOTHER DAY!

I am on day four today again!. It's only 12:30 and I keep thinking of cigs!
Hold out there girl!
I worked Thursday and Friday, not a lot of time on my hands.
This afternoon, we are going shopping. That might help eh? Tomorrow, a pile of ironing awaits. That might help too. I do hope so.
I do have a nicotine patch in place and now it seems, willpower will have to kick in.
I am getting worried about the time, (in about 3 weeks,) when I go to step two on the patches.
Will I miss the dose I am getting now? Will I have overcome the urge? I mean, the nicotine is still in my system!
Perhaps I am being a bit silly, let me get through these three weeks and see what happens then. At least I am not "taking in" all the other substances to my lungs.
I am holding on, yes I am! I really don't need a cig, I don't smoke you know!

DAY FOUR (AGAIN.)

I think I have done it! I have very nearly finished day four! It's 22:08 and they say pride comes before a fall. I hope not!
Anyway, I have taken my patch off. Up to now, it's made not one jot of difference. I still think they help though.

I is a ladee, but this pic I have taken off the Internet, feels like I feel. lol

Day Five!


I don't like day five, not one bit. In fact I hate it a lot.
It's usually the day I give in and smoke a cig!
Now, hopefully, today I am going to break the tradition. lol
I have done my ironing, there was quite a lot. I am now going to defrost the freezer, I hate doing that too. Even when I smoked, I hated defrosting the thing.
It's blowing a gale out there. I hate heavy wind, I expect the roof to blow off.
In fact, I hate a lot of things don't I?
I hate this withdrawal time too. That is one of the reasons I want to break my tradition of having a fag today. It means going back to day one and I would hate to do that! By the way, it's only 13:26.


It's now bedtime and I have done day five! Fingers crossed for tomorrow!
