Welcome Baye! Good for you to amp up your courage and prepare for your quit. It looks like you know your triggers and have a plan - that's the ticket to a successful quit! Be kind to yourself and remember to reward yourself for your good decisions (Like balcony only smoking). Hope to see you here lots as those stats accumulate! Doesn't take long to realize how much you are saving by making this great decision! Take care : ) Eyja

Baye, take what has worked in the past, identify the triggers that caused you to smoke, then create the perfect "final quit" quit plan! I like you moving smoking to only outside.

Hi All,

Lainey thank you for bumping up some posts for me, that was very nice.

Willisv56, I had to bump my quit date to Friday.

I picked tuesday because I have a nerve conductive test for my elbow on monday which is why I picked tuesday but then I remembered I have a dr.'s appointment on Thursday about my depression.

My mantra was "I don't need it".

Vincenza, Well before I just stopped going outside on work breaks, I'll bring my ereader to work with me and just read. And now that it is getting cooler, I don't feel like freezing my behind off!

As the smoking at the computer, this afternoon I took the cigarettes out and have banished myself the the balcony.

Now if I want a smoke, outside I have to go. Needless to say it is getting quite cool in Kingston ON and I don't want to go out.

Especially since I have bare feet.lol

Hi Baye,

Glad you found us too! You can do it -with your determination and additional help and support from members on this forum.

How have you prepared to avoid your triggers? What will you do to stay smoke-free while you are using a computer?

Here for you,

Good luck to you Baye. when you are ready, you are ready! I have bumped up some older posts for help. Good luck to you. Stress is one of the triggers to all of us ex-smokers. Use your tools to prepare for it and be ready when it hits, you can do it, you did it before and you can do it again! Get yourself quit and breathe easier!

I have quit two times in the past, the first time I used champix I believe it is called in Canada. I stopped smoking for a year and a half, then well working so much overtime and work stress; I started again to cope.

The next time I just smoked my last cig from the pack and that was it, I stopped for six months. I had been thinking and wanting to quit and finally took the big step. Obviously stress is my trigger, so that is something for me to prepare for.

I have been back to smoking for about 6 months, it started just at work on breaks. My wife didn't even know I was smoking again, then I started smoking on the balcony. Which I have never done before, my worst time is at the computer. So I was only smoking about 5 cigs a day, well now I am up to my half a pack. Because I am not smoking on the balcony but in the bedroom where the computer is.

I know I can do it this time because I didn't have this forum to post too. I wish I had found it sooner because I am sure I never wouldn't have started again.

I know that the program mentions three weeks but I have decided to quit on tuesday, I have my reasons and I am determined.

Baye
