Day 2

[Molly2310]

Well I made it to day 2

I read Allen Carr’s book and, to be honest, I am surprised not to be climbing the walls this morning.

 

Yesterday certainly had it’s moments but I have a feeling that today might be more intense.

 

I am spending the day with family, none of whom smoke, and will lurk around here and read in the quiet moments.

 

I know this is a journey of many steps, going steeply uphill at first, then plateauing and finally coming down a lovely gentle slope into a sweet smelling meadow.

 

Day 2 is just one of those steps. And I’m stronger now, because I’m on here

 

I hope everyone has a lovely day

Congratulations Molly ..

Day 2...same as Day 1...

One day at a time ...

Allen Carr was a huge influence on my own quit too .!!

Hello Molly,

 

Yay for reclaiming your life!

Glad you're finding resources that lift you up....Allen Carr, Quit Train and your own thought process.  Glad you have nonsmokers to be with in the early days.

Quit Train is a wonderful support and BE willing to use it.  I do recommend pre posting a response to your own S.O.S..  See the S.O.S. thread should you find that idea useful.

 

Just breathe.

Sounds like you are doing great: put your head down, shoulder your way through those first tough days, and surround yourself with positive reinforcement for not smoking. Good job building a solid foundation for your quit! You can do this.

You are doing great Molly. Stay focused on the cleansing breaths of clean air you are inhaling and the exhalation of all the lies addiction has kept you chained with.

Way to go Molly. Stay true yourself and have faith. You are truly on the right path to a happier and healthier life.

Hey Molly, Nice to meet you, and i seen you in the daily NOPE pledge thread!  Great to see you there, i find that very useful, just to set me up for the day.  Is is day 4 for you today, how are you getting on?

[Molly2310]

Hi WeegieWoman, Yes it's day 4 and so far it has been a little easier than yesterday which I'm grateful for. 

 

It's my second day at work so that is taking my mind off it a little.  Everyone is being really understanding with me which is lovely of them.

 

Only today and 3 more days and I'll have finished my first week

You are doing great Molly! Stay busy and strong and close to the board. You can get this beast off your back because you are stronger than it. Believe in yourself. Best wishes and keep up the good work. It will get easier and you can do this.
