Awesome! Keep focused on how hard it was to set that four day record. Its been a huge help for me to overcome cravings as I go.

Woohoo 4 months is epic!!! Did you get constipated? 
serious question. This is the No.1 reason why I always start smoking again, can’t handle that blocked up feeling 
My brother is here fitting new worktops and sink. He keeps popping into the garden for a smoke and it is driving me crazy aaarrghh I won’t give in to the cravings though

Only for a short while. I found eating plenty fresh fruit and veg and drinking plenty water helps things along. Oh and being more active walking and exercising

I’m so close to relapse that it isn’t funny. I actually went thru the ashtrays looking for halfies. Came here like suggestioned instead. NOPE. Help me. Inspire me. Motivate me. I’m powerless atm.

I understand you so well, had to leave a gathering 30 minutes after arrival because my mind couldn’t handle seeing other people smoking, cravings hit really hard!
What worked for me was the thought of how I should put myself first, this is my health and my freedom which I’ve had enough of gambling with in the past.
I wonder if this may work for you as well, remember your reasons for quitting, think of the progress…and ugh 
think about how it stinks!

Wrapping up day 6 smoke free and it feels great. So pleased to get this far. I bought this ashtray in Thailand many years ago. I dug it out again to remind me how disgusting and lethal smoking is as if I need reminding!

For you friend. Hang in there. Sometimes NOPE is all we have and all it takes. You’re not alone. Smoking is Stupid. Smoking Kills. Hugs.

I haven’t spent my cigarette savings yet. Its burning a hole in my pocket.
I’ve been shopping a little. Looking at things. Two new rods and reels, and two underwater cameras are in my cigarettes savings budget.
Much better than lighting 100 dollar bills on fire.

Day 7 smoke free coming to an end. When I wake up in the morning I will not have smoked for a whole week and that feels great x

Hey peeps, just wrapping up day 9 smoke free. Had a few pangs today but pushing through.
Last night and this morning I had a really scratchy sore throat. This evening I have a banging headache and running nose. I must have the shitty smoker’s flu. Feeling crappy. I’ve cancelled my piano lesson as it is first thing in the morning. Still hoping to go to work for 12, see how I feel tomorrow…

Sixty days!
Time has been flying. I have been really busy. I still get some cravings. Most are really easy to get through. I still have some cravings that mind f*ck me a little. I was really tempted to grab a smoke from my coworkers pack a few days ago. I had to keep talking myself out of it until the opportunity passed. Even though it was more tempting than I’d like it to be. I felt really proud of myself for not giving in.
My previous record was 26 days. That was almost three years ago.
I’m not going back!

Day 10 nearly over. Mad how I cling to these numbers. Didn’t make it to work. Have been terrible all day. Just had a shower as I felt so rough and back in bed. Hope tomorrow is better

Or you just might be getting a seasonal cold. Regardless, keep getting better at getting better!
