trying The key is preparing for it. Maybe get a basket or bag of small rewards to give yourself instead of a cigarette break, like candies, gum, a favorite drink, crosswords, word finds, sodoku, beads. Take a quick walk to relieve some of the stress, and of course..post here : ) You CAN do this. You'll just have different triggers at work. Once you've faced them and not smoked, they will either get easier to deal with or disappear. Plan for a treat on the way home for not smoking -aloha [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/22/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 129 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 5,160 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $877.20 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 18 [B]Hrs:[/B] 0 [B]Mins:[/B] 11 [B]Seconds:[/B] 13

Hello everyone, Thanks again for all of your fantastic support, its helping. Im pleased to say im still a non-smoker and am very proud and pleased with myself. After 25 years on more than 20 cigarettes per day I know this isnt going to be easy. Since I stopped smoking on 17th July I have been at home off work and away from the stresses of my usual working life. This has no doubt helped me a lot. Tomorrow I go back to work for the first time as a non-smoker and I am afraid things are going to get a bit harder. Im really glad that I found this website because its going to help me. I promise that I will post again after my first day back at work (whatever the outcome) and hope to say " I DID IT!" tryingtoquit.

Hello Tryingtoquit, Well done on getting this far. I feel sure you will stay on this positive route. It really is worth it all because soon you will stop having those thoughts quite as much and you'll really enjoy the freedom that being a non smoker gives you. Good luck and keep posting.

Hi Tryingtoquit Sounds like you are doing great so far. And learning how to deal with the urges...come here and post and read. I was glued to this site when i first quit and am still pretty much using it as a replacement for smoking. Many people make a promise to themselves or others that before taking one single puff they will post here and wait for a certain number of responses before lighting up. That has saved a lot of quits. Transitions from one activity to another are still triggers for me too. Now, tho, I just make note of them, like "Oh yeah, that's why I have an urge to smoke, I just came home from the store, I just got in the car, I just finished work, etc, etc. But of course, I'm not gonna smoke. Why? Because I'm a nonsmoker"...I am quite the self-talker...lol Looking forward to getting to know you -aloha [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/22/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 128 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 5,120 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $870.40 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 17 [B]Hrs:[/B] 21 [B]Mins:[/B] 59 [B]Seconds:[/B] 6

Hi there, welcome to a site that will help you to change your life :) Quitting smoking is the 1st step. It's a daily decision to be a non-smoker. Just think of the great example you're setting for your kids & now you'll be around longer to enjoy them :) This site is full of knowledge & love from many wonderful people :) Take it one day at a time. Sometimes 1 min at a time. If u ever get to the point where u feel like giving up, make yourself call a friend or come to this site and start reading a posting for as long as it takes to get past that point. Feelings & cravings come & go & all u have to do know is learn how to deal with them. Just breathe.......
