Hi, I'm hiljump and on day 5 of my latest and my last quit. I think this weekend will be the toughest for me. My partner is still a smoker as well as daughter still living at home & brother who is here for Easter. Hanging tough, avoiding, admitting to them that I'm having a hard time - and doing a lot of sleeping. The first 4 were managable so I'm trying to keep in my head that I've made it through 4 days and I know they will get easier sooner than I'm feeling they will. And having made it through 4 I can do another 4 - especially if I can make it through the weekend - although I know it won't all be a breeze I will have made it through probably my toughest time. Nice to know there is a support group to go to when you think the cravings will make you crazy.
Thanks all for your support! I got up this morning & my brother had left his cig's & lighter in the kitchen - I looked at them & said not for me! My husband got up while I was making my morning tea & I asked him if he wanted to go down to the beach with me & our dogs - he said he had too much to do. So I took our youngest & biggest dog down to the school for a run & kicked a sosser ball around with her - I could do it withot losing my breath and it was so much fun for us both. With you support & my dogs I'll make it through even if the rest of the people in my house still smoke! (At least they are all smoking outside now!)
thanks again all!

thanks so much for your support. My guy is very supportive to a point - if im not ready to join what he has planned - and i must add he thought he was doing it for me - but didnt talk about it beforehand....my first weekend home smoking - and he a smoker thinks it all goes the same and why now am i being a ***** even though i told him?
after 5 days thought I was doing real well. Couldn't hear the movie tonite - was isolated as i have made myself since quitting.
Planted some seeds - distraction was not enough. My parther is very supportive but still a smoker. I stole one of his cigs while cleaning up and went outside and smoked 1/2 - feel like such a louse & so stupid. Just getting to me
hi there, Im at day 5 and what i do is keep busy. busy,busy... down to the nursery to look for seeds, home & pickrd up 1 of my dogs ^ walked up to my best friends house (she is a non smoker) I usually drive up there, helped her clean up her flower beds, back home, made pastry, planted seeds, made quiche, just worked like a demon. feet are killing me but avoided the huge craving I was having all day. For my mouth - smarties - I let them melt in my mouth ine at a time - that way I'm not eating an entire chocolate bar but doing something that is good. Also have discovered Manhatten mix - like trail mix but all salty - cashews, peanute, shelled sunflower seeds, almonds, some sort of sesame munchie thing - all unique tastes - a good alternative. It's helping for me
eve - i havent finished reading your message yet - but i posted this morning and nothing happened and i needed it. they are here - just dont want you to be a blip - im just someone wanting like you - all the best
hey Bob, I'm 5 days in (this time) and was a 25-30 a day....not nice. my mum died of lung cancer very suddenly 2 years ago - we knew she had cancer for 2 days, she died. What can I say? I have 3 beautiful daughters and 2 beautiful step daughters. I'd like to be a grandparent.
rob i hear you and really the last 5 days havent been so bad kid and hubbie i have had to tell trpediately when will they get it - i really want to crawl away to a small safe place
Rylan, It may seem so long now - I'm at 9 days, a couple of them were tough but looking back from the 9th I can't believe how fast it has gone by. There are so many good people here & they will all help support you! I log on during the day but can't respond due to my restrictions at work - but just reading helps me through many moments. You've made the right decision - and this site can help you in many ways - all the best to you - and you ARE doing the right thing!
