50 days today

18 years ago 0 +0 / -0 123

Congratulations Niks, Getting to day 50 is sure one hell of an achievement... I for one would like to applaud you for not giving in to the temptation at the weekend... Now that you know you have done it once you know you can do it again. Having never been on Zyban I couldn't say if it is perhaps a better idea to stay on it for a bit longer... I was interested in going down that route but the whole carry on we have up here in Aberdeen just to have it prescribed is insane.. But I ramble, forgive me... Well done on riding out the storm.. Kinda hard to come online when you are out camping or at a music festival over the weekend, so I suggest that you lean on your boyfriend.. He sounds like an absolute rock!!!! Good luck, keep your chin up..

Niks congrats on your 50 days, I have posted this somewhere else for you, you can't have a puff BECAUSE YOU ARE ADDICTED TO NICOTINE. If you have a puff you will have a pack. don't smoke one day at a time :gasp: [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 6/13/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 49 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 741 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $196 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 6 [B]Hrs:[/B] 12 [B]Mins:[/B] 29 [B]Seconds:[/B] 30

What i cant get through my head the most - is I can drink alcohol only when I want to... WHY cant i do the same with Smoking?? I so cant my head around not being able to smoke just at the weekends. I know that this is my weakness - I probably talked about this early into my quit. I just get so angry that i cant smoke at the weekends those are the ones that i REALLY enjoyed. It was just the rest that i didnt enjoy. I cant eat food anymore. Well not eating loads instead of smoking, I want to be free from this addiction. I even tell my head that if i had a crafty puff when I was drinking, then I wouldnt know as i wouldnt be drinking the next day.... I almost believed it too. What if I ONLY smoke when I drink, could I do that.. all these stupid things go through my head. I can choose to drink. I can choose NOT to drink, it doesnt bother me at all, i never get cravings for alchohol why cant i do the same with smoking? Arraghhhh Is this a 50 day slump? Is it normal?

Normally I get to work on a Monday and produce another weeks celebration. This week, I wasnt at work on Monday - as I was off on holiday. I am back today and today I am at 50 days so I will celebrate that instead. Its been hard these last few days, probably this last week has been hard. This weekend I really wanted to quit. I was SO SICK of quitting smoking. I just dont want to think about it anymore. I drink at weekends, and part of my camping experience has often been sitting around a fire, drinking alcohol, outdoor food and smoking.. I felt SO CHEATED this weekend. I just wanted to smoke again. But i only wanted to smoke for the weekend. How could I be on holiday and not smoke? I felt really cheated. Today is Tuesday and I am still not smoking, and today I dont want to either. I am at work, it wouldnt be appropriate for me to sit around smoking cigarettes. But come the weekend again, and I will be away again this time to a music festival for four days. I will be with people that smoke -and for sure i have never been to a music festival and not smoked. I feel right now like i am holding on. Its tough. I havent taken Zyban now for around 2 weeks? So I dont know if that is making the difference? I have a prescription for 60 tablets which is another months supply I dont know whether to go back on them again? I wish I could smoke at the weekend and at times when I want to and not at other times... this weekend I thought i would rather be a smoker than someone who sits around eating food (I am tired of eating food - i really am)... ah i could have died for a cigarette - if only I could get away with just smoking ONE 0r even JUST for the weekend? I know these thoughts are not good, but I would have lost my quit this weekend if my boyfriend hadnt been so strong to stop me smoking - and if I wasnt so scared of the cigarette. He even had a waterproof coat which he hadnt used since Glastonbury last year... in there was �10 and THREE CIGARETTES... my eyes lit up like a Christmas tree! But he threw them in a puddle.. and soaked them then broke them up and threw them in the bin. So I knew if i wanted to smoke then I would have had to buy 10 from the shop and I was too scared to do that, I didnt want to smoke ten, I just wanted to smoke ONE!

Congratulations Niks, 50 days is excellent! I do know what you mean, though. I'm feeling the same way, and I did just come off the wellbutrin. I'm not really craving though, just wanting to smoke, and I DO know we can get through this. I mean look at our stats! A few bumps in the road, but look how far we've come!

Niks, I love ya. But girl you have some serious negative junkie thinking going on there. I suggest you print out your above posts and highlight all that junkie thinking. Dissect it. Get your 'quit head' screwed on right. You can be free of this addiction, but you must put your mind in the right place to do so. The choice is yours. It is that hard or it is that easy. [IMG]http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a17/Daniwiz/Bubbles.gif[/IMG] 50 days looking smokefreetabulous on you! Don't you throw that accomplishment away. Keep on working on this. You can overcome this Niks. You can.

[IMG]http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f190/cuddlebug230/congratulations204.gif[/IMG] on 50 Niks Cuddles It's better to be a non-smoker with an occasional desire for a cig than a smoker with a constant desire to quit......

Niks, Congrats on this achievement! Look towards the positive and keep strong :) You have come so far, why go backwards and smoke just one? Use your coping mechanisms if necessary and use the support you have. What you are feeling is normal, but you are not missing out on anything. The good times are about friends and conversation, not the smoking that is associated with it. Keep Strong, Josie _____________________ The SSC Support Team.
