19 years ago 0 +0 / -0 71

well i took some time of work to help me in my quit i felt great no major withdrawl or cravings and then i started back work this morning. 4 people offerd me smokes and i said no to them all but i kept thinking how bad would it be just to have a few puffs no one would know. so i had to go and hide for 5 mins i dident cave in thank god lol. so i had to explain to some people that i have quit smoking so hopefuly tomorrow will be a better day i think it made it hard coz i work 12 hour shifts and i can be standing round for some time bored lol which does not help anyway am on day 9 and getting stronger fair enough am turning into fat elvis bit getting stronger lol keep up the good work fellow quiters.

It is so amazing to me how different everyone's reaction is to this addiction. See. for me, being busy and at work is the easiest way for me to avoid thinking about smoking. But that's because I'm a flight attendant and my "office" is the ultimate smoke-free zone. It's not like you can step outside for a few minutes between drink services. In fact, my last quit was rather ill-timed, since there was a four day period where I had nothing to do... so I smoked! Ugh. Can you just imagine if you had the chance to go back and slap that cigarette out of your younger self's hand?

You did great. Hang in there. It is not easy, have some tricks up your sleeve. Having taken some time off to start your quit right tells me that you are serious and in control. Stay that way. Hey! you're out of HELL week. Now it's off to HECK week with you.

It really does get easier and easier. I know right now it doesn't seem like it but it truly does. You are doing really good and seem really determined and that's what it takes. You have to want to stay quit more that you want to light up. N.O.P.E. (NOT ONE PUFF EVER).
