Jacko the failure has decided not to fail!!


17 years ago 0 322 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
Hi Guys, What would I do without you lot? Your all so brilliant!! I know most of you state I aint failed, but I have in a certain way. I was over 3 weeks before I went to Turkey, then thats where I was weak and the demon got me. Anyway, not this time eh? Gonna take loads you your advice and this time Im gonna be stronger. I am gonna take my pills at the same time daily and not after 3pm although I am sleeping ok for the time being, but I know I was up at all hours last time. I have decided to go back to my old job part time as the bar runs itself on weekdays. I am a lorry driver(trucker) by trade and my old boss comes in for a drink now and again and we had a chat. Maybe if I get more active it may help my situation and to see my old work mates will be another good thing. I have come off the atkins diet too. It was too much for me. Even tho` Ive put on a few pounds, I will need to put 100 pounds for it to affect my health like nicotine. Finally, I have purchased Alan Carrs book which should arrive today. I`m gonna take it on my trips in my Truck and keep it at hand constantly. Ok, I will stop rambling on. Got things to do and people to see. You know how it is? I wanna take this last line to thanks all of you for you unlimited support in my case and I hope I can give it back to you and others ten-fold in the coming weeks/months.I am determined to beat this-its a promise!!

Hey Jacko, Good to see you sticking to the quit. I would advise you to stick to the medication though, come off that too early and you might fail your quit. I stopped taking them I just forgot to take them, and I am struggling right now. Make it as easy as you can on yourself, I know you can do this!

Jacko, You haven't failed, you're learning! Each slip has taught you a little more about yourself and your addiction. Keep up the great progress! Danielle ________________________ The SSC Support Team

Welcome Jacko (again). Be sure to check out the program tools to the left and develop a plan for when the cravings hit. Always remember to take it one step at a time and remember NOPE (not one puff ever) That is how we all quit. Quitting isn't easy but it is doable. Reach out to the good folks around here [B]Before[/b] you smoke and they can help you through the tough times. No matter what, no matter how many times it takes, don't ever quit quitting. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 7/1/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 396 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 7,928 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1386 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 34 [B]Hrs:[/B] 22 [B]Mins:[/B] 24 [B]Seconds:[/B] 54
