So I made it 16 days and then smoked. Dang it! I changed my quit day but I really didn’t want to since I only smoked a few cigarettes.
I read Allen Carr’s Easyway to Quit Smoking....He said no moping! But all I did was mope! I started out good, but little by little, as the days went by, I missed my little friend. So I smoked. And just as he said, I felt awful! So here I am again.
This time I’m going to post here. I would love to be a non smoker for more than 2 weeks. That seems to be about how long I can make it.
I’m not moping today and Yippee I’m a non smoker! All I can do is one day at a time
It's good that you reset your quit date. That's holding yourself accountable. Perhaps it will make you think twice before giving in again?
You call a cigarette your "little friend." NOPE! Those dried leaves wrapped in paper, treated with thousands of chemicals and created to make you an addict are NOT anybody's friend. They do nothing FOR you and so much TO you. They steal your breath, your health, your money, your self-respect? I don't think you would be friends with such a person.
You need to make NEW friends Exercise will give you the same hit of dopamine that you get from a smoke. So will singing out loud, or dancing, or eating a bit of chocolate.
I hope you will finish reading Allen Carr. It will help you understand your addiction!
Let us know if you have any questions!
