You have a great no smoking thing going on Jess... don't let it beat you... NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE!

 

7 months is not worth throwing away... only to have to go through the physical stuff all over again

 

You have learnt too much by now... it is never just one or a couple of smokes just for good times sake... you know that

 

Have heaps of fun Jess... you can make the fun happen without the nicotine addiction :)

you won't smoke...Gigi doesn't smoke, remember?

 

Jess...this is normal to occur....the entire first year is a roller coaster....just when you think the "smoke" has cleared ....there it is again..  It won't last though, and you will come out of this weekend stronger than ever.  

 

have fun and enjoy the new you

They do come as such as a surprise don't they?

 

Ticking along and then BAM!

 

Don't worry Jess. The surprise makes it feel worse than it is.

 

You think you want a cigarette - but if you actually think about the act of lighting up a tube of paper, of smoke getting into your eyes, the catch in your throat as the poison goes in - the rekindling of the desire to smoke another one and another one and another one - of you stinking, your clothes stinking...

 

You don't want that.

 

Recognise the trigger, laugh at it and get on with having a cracking time!

 

You'll be fine Jess.

Hope you're resting up now Jess and that all is well with you. They are sneaky those triggers, you are stronger though. There is no "hardest month" because you are a non smoker my lovely, there's simply some triggers that you get to face and be done with. Every trigger dealt with equals a stronger quit! You got this beauty, onwards and upwards. x

Made it through last night..easy peasy however, tonight is the welcome back party at the marina. There will be drinks on the dock , food and all the smokers. My true test being around my smoking friends and having drinks...

Keeping the disgusting thought of smoking in my head. I am a non smoker. If I can get through the test tonight I got this! Thanks everyone for listening and keep your fingers crossed for me!

Avoiding Situations Where You Used To Smoke

Video discusses the importance of facing triggers head on as opposed to the natural inclination of many to avoid situations where they used to smoke.

I need to hit this head on see those others smoking and rejoice that it is no longer me. I can do this, I have done this. Here's to facing the demons head on! I think ( fingers crossed )I got this! I cannot lose my quit on the heels of 7 months.

I bet most of those smokers are so jealous of you...keep this in your mind when you look at them..

Evelyn is right they HAVE to smoke ..they are addicts...x

What is this "if I get through tonight" you speak of....

 

YOU ARE A NON SMOKER!!

 

YOU HAVE BEEN A NON SMOKER FOR 7 WONDERFUL MONTHS

 

There is no battle here my lovely, there is a choice. Go back to that addicted and poor fool or give it "hell no, thoughts can't take my quit down". You own it, like you always have. You are stronger than you know but sending strength too. xx

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
