being bored...


17 years ago 0 772 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
Hey Kate, You know what i think it is, that whole bored thing. I worked out the other day that before I quit smoking, i would spend 4.5 hours every single day lighting up and smoking... Now i have an extra 4.5 hours. I sometimes think I am bored... but i am not its all a head trip. Dont forget that nicotine loves to play tricks with your mind, but actually the ONLY person that is in control of your mind, is you! You are in charge of the thoughts that you allow into your mind.. That said I do know where you are coming from, but I do think that will pass, I havent had an 'i am bored' thought for a good few days. that isnt to say that it wont come my way again.. but who knows. WELL DONE for not smoking. I know that these first few days are hard, just take it one day at a time.

Kate you can't smoke. Our quit day is the same. I look forward to see how you are doing. I will be checking in while I am out of town. Just remember it really does matter whether you smoke or not. It is hell to start over and over. I really want this to my last stop. Have a great day.

Hi Kate and well done on your quit! I remember being bored and smoking! I would sit doing nothing, and being bored, would light up a cig. Smoking away for hours ... but I was still bored. Yes, you have extra time every day, I think it's what non-smokers call a life. Plan your day, and try to fill it with things you enjoy! All the best Mr Ed :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 2/13/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 129 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 3,885 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �967.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 21 [B]Hrs:[/B] 14 [B]Mins:[/B] 12 [B]Seconds:[/B] 13
