If you haven't already noticed the ticker at the top of this page....I QUIT SMOKING !! woo hoo
I have been on the verge of quitting for the past few months, but just not gotten to the point where I was able to say "this is it". This morning I had 2 ciggies, and as I stubbed out the second one I resolved that today was the day. No real rhyme or reason, it was just 'time'.
I went to the chemist this morning and bought some patches. It was really stupid because I almost started crying when I said "I want to quit smoking and I'd like some patches please"...I have no idea why.
Initially I wasn't going to tell anyone, and just see who noticed, but then I thought 'I can probably do with the support', so I decided to tell everyone. I figure that the potential embarrassment of 'falling off the wagon' might also help me to resist the desire to light up.
So far, I am doing good. I do actually feel like a cigarette every so often, but I think that may be more from habit than addiction (I have set smoke break times at work, so I think I am just wanting to go out of habit).
I went to mum's after work and she was smoking, and then my sister Kim came over and she was also smoking, but I really didn't have an overwhelming urge to join them.
I have 1 cigarette left in a packet, but I plan to photograph it for my All About Me scrapbook album. I will also make a little shaker box type thing to put the actual cigarette in.
So that's my news for this week. Wish me luck !!

Wow!! & well done Cindy for getting to the stage of actually deciding to do it - quit smoking. That's step one. Being a quitter myself, I can give you heaps of tips & can only hope I'll be supportive enough. Smoking is a whole bunch of actions, habit, emotional attachment, addiction, image... I know it's tough giving up & I wish you all the best in succeeding.
I am very proud of you sweetie as I have always been for more reasons that a proud Dad can remember and to quit smoking is another reason (BIG REASON) to be even more proud of you. I have no idea how hard it must be because I have never taken it up.
Love Dad
Good on ya Cindy, now all we have to do is work on a few other members in the family.
Luckily your not trying to give up the booze...now that would be an impossiblity for a few ...better make that all of the relo's in this family to give up.
well done cindy, now what are you going to treat yourself to with all that money?
