    02/08/10 03:57:38 | 0 COMMENTS

    February - 08 - 2010
    10:30 - Woke up absolutely determined not to smoke anymore.  Put a bra and jumper on in place of my pyjama top, (left the bottoms on) stuck a long coat over the top of it all and took the dog outside for a wee and a...
  2. Being Aware is a Great Start

    06/24/09 08:26:37 | 0 COMMENTS

    I think that simply being aware of how many, where and when one smokes is half the battle to quitting.

    3 days ago I went to bed and thought, "Ok, it's been 8 weeks now since breaking my ribs and therefore as I promised myself to...
  3. The Time Has Come

    06/13/09 13:22:21 | 3 COMMENTS

    For me to seriously start thinking about quitting again.

    I have no excuse now as my ribs are almost healed. The excuse was genuine as I couldn't have bore the thought of coughing as the gunk left my body whilst having cracked...
  4. Starting Out Again

    05/11/09 10:05:03 | 1 COMMENTS

    Am I disappointed I started to smoke again?? Actually no. Not at this point in time anyway.

    I have felt like crap since cracking my ribs and what with the pain and also the depression it has brought, the last thing on my mind has been...
  5. This Would Have Been Day 13

    05/10/09 17:37:08 | 3 COMMENTS

    Yup, this would have been day 13 but it's not.

    I am smoking again and have been for a couple of days now. I sunk into a rotten depression after cracking my ribs and being in so much pain. I hated having to have others do things for me...
  6. Days 7, 8 & 9 Inclusive

    05/06/09 15:15:22 | 15 COMMENTS

    Day 7, Monday, was going with a swing. Only had to get to midnight and I would have been home free for a whole week. Then approximately at 8pm as you all know by now I broke my ribs and ended up spending from 9 - Midnight in the A &...
  7. Wait Until Midnight

    05/04/09 01:53:36 | 7 COMMENTS

    If I can survive until midnight I will have done a full week. Well, that's not quite true if I am to be totally honest.

    To have gone a complete 7 days - 168 hours, I need to really survive without a ciggie until tomorrow morning at 10am...
  8. One More Day & I Will Have Done a Week

    05/03/09 11:59:11 | 6 COMMENTS

    Had a really good day smoking wise, or rather not smoking wise, lol.

    I was dropped off home this morning early, by my Nieces partner, Ted, after spending several days with them. A couple of hours later Sarah picked me up to go to hers for...
  9. I Almost Gave in on this My Day 5

    05/02/09 13:12:33 | 9 COMMENTS

    Jeez, it's only by sheer luck that I didn't give in and smoke today.

    I spent the day scrubbing and cleaning the kitchen, bathrooms and toilets of the house that my Daughter has been moving into today. While goodness knows how many...
  10. My 4th Day Which = My Official Q Day

    05/01/09 03:55:43 | 6 COMMENTS

    I am well pleased with myself as I have stolen 3 days march on what would have been my official Q Day, today.

    It does feel as though it has been more than 3 days since I have had a ciggie though. It's a very strange feeling. I am so...
  11. The Dreaded 3rd Day

    04/30/09 09:15:32 | 8 COMMENTS

    Seemingly day 3 is supposed to be one of those difficult milestones along with day 7 and day 14. Today being my day 3, I am doing quite well with, although I am noticing a few differences from the last 2 days.

    For one, I am feeling as if I...
  12. Into the 2nd Day We Go

    04/29/09 08:24:49 | 7 COMMENTS

    Today I decided that in order to guarantee that I stick to quitting now that I have finally made the decision to dog out my last cigarette, I would go and buy a weeks worth of medium size NRT patches. I believe that these work out to have the same...
  13. Whoops!! Q Day Snuck Up on Me

    04/28/09 05:47:11 | 19 COMMENTS

    Well, I ran out of tobacco at 10am this morning and I was buggered if I was going to buy more only to throw the majority of it away on Friday. So, yup, you guessed it. My Q Day brought it's self forward.

    I have now officially quit...
  14. Struggling

    04/26/09 08:27:27 | 24 COMMENTS

    I am really struggling quite hard now to keep within my allocated amount and I feel I am now at the point where I am making things harder for myself than I would be if I were to simply cut cigarettes out all together.

    Yes, I am going long...
  15. Wow, I'm Quite Thrilled

    04/24/09 08:45:34 | 21 COMMENTS

    The last couple of days have been a bit of a toughy to get through and stick to my allocated amount. But what a difference today.

    Today is the 1st of 3 days of smoking 6 a day. After the last couple of bad days I was not looking forward...
  16. Is it Getting Harder??

    04/22/09 09:47:18 | 21 COMMENTS

    Is it getting harder?? I'm not sure whether to say yes or no to that one. I am more conscious of being aware of the gaps between cigs. Not gasping or craving for one but more like, as I think "oh I fancy a ciggie", the next thought is,...
  17. Looking Forward to Quitting

    04/21/09 07:05:04 | 13 COMMENTS

    I have now got to the point where I want my quit day to come. I am finding it increasingly more difficult to eek out the few cigarettes I allow myself daily.

    Funnily enough yesterday I eek-ed them out so well that when I went to bed I...
  18. Closer & Closer to Q Day

    04/19/09 03:52:52 | 15 COMMENTS

    My quit day is getting closer and closer and I can't pretend that I'm not worried about it. Like all smokers I am terrified of letting go. But at the same time I am excited about it and part of me wishes it was nearer. Every night I go to...
  19. 3 Weeks into My Plan

    04/17/09 10:01:29 | 11 COMMENTS

    Tomorrow it will be 3 weeks since I started this smoking blog and I am 2 weeks away from my quit date.

    By the time I had started this blog I had already cut down to 15 cigarettes a day and had only been smoking a maximum of 15 for quite a...
  20. Why am I Quitting??

    04/16/09 04:20:05 | 10 COMMENTS

    Seemingly, according to experts, we are meant to list our reasons for giving up smoking. Supposedly this is so that when we feel weakened to light up a cigarette after quitting, it is to remind us of the reasons important to us.

    There are...
