GoodHEvans! I'm one week down, a lifetime to go!

18 years ago 0 +0 / -0 2

This morning, I arrived at work with one week of living my life smoke-free under my belt. Sounds a lot better than it feels in my heart of hearts...because I've seen this day so many times before. I've tucked a six year quit under my belt and lit up. I've tucked a 1 1/2 year quit under my belt and lit up. I've seen a month, six months, a week, three weeks... ...only to light up again. So this morning, rather than celebrating my full week of living smoke-free, I've decided to take another approach. I have to start planning, plotting, preparing, dedicating myself to making this quit like no other. I have to look ahead to this evening and this weekend that I know I will spend relaxing with my boyfriend, having some wine, talking about the past week at work and home and in the news, which are the exact times in the past year when I've thrown away a week or two weeks or three weeks quit. What is my plan? My plan so far, because this is the best I have been able to come up with so early in the morning, is to simply refuse to smoke. He'll go outside to smoke, and I'll stay inside and clean up dishes or get out my pajamas or pick up my knitting, something, anything, to pass the ten minutes he'll spend outside in the freezing cold, smoking. Hello! I'm GoodHEvans and I'm not going to smoke today!

Hi GoodH, Yup - it's as simple as that. Just don't smoke. My boyf smokes, too - he keeps me from looking at smoking in an unrealistic way. I hear him coughing in the mornings, I smell the lingering smoke on his clothes, I send him out in the cold to do the dirty deed! Keep yourself busy and break the habit. Good luck, Deli [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 8/1/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 108 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,626 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �324 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 8 [B]Hrs:[/B] 17 [B]Mins:[/B] 19 [B]Seconds:[/B] 48

GoodHEvans, Or you will come post on the SSC and have your quitting buddies see you through? Welcome to the SSC and congratulations on your first smoke free week! Start working through our free quit program and reading through our forums. Many quitters have posted their experiences and tips so that you may benefit so take advantage! Look back on past attempts and try to determine what factors contributed to your relapse. Were you craving? Were you feeling deprived? Is smoking how you relax or cope with stress? All of the above? It is important to think about these questions. By finding answers, you'll be able to come up with a quit plan that helps you overcome these obstacles. If you have any questions or just need a little encouragement, we are always here! Danielle ______________________ The SSC Support Team
