35 Years and I'm on Day #2 of no Smoking?
I'm finding that I miss the habit and to some degree the taste more than the chemical (mybe cause I'm wearing a patch.
If I had a smoke now would I have failed?
Answer:
yes. i am on day 4 of quitting smoking. i haven't had a smoke since friday. i am using chantix though and not a patch. if you have a smoke you will have failed. i miss it too. not the cigarette itself just the action of it, i guess. especially with coffee in the morning.
i would recommend switching to tea. they say to even use a different coffee cup.
anyway, don't do it. you will feel much better in the long run if you don't. and i will too!
Dont give up!
Do not give in to temptation ... you are stronger than this . you will see obstacles on your way but and you might find it hard to stop ... but don't give in ... all your problems will go away soon . I had the same problem I stopped smoking for about a year now .. Patience is the key my friend ... Patience is the key ...
Recent research tells us that nicotine is more addictive than CRACK for God's sake.
If you've been smoking for 35 years, you have great courage to try to quit. I am sending you BIG best wishes and good thoughts.
And no, if you have a smoke now, you will not have "failed" but it'll just make it all the harder to quit "again."
You can do it.
It's not over by far. I used the patch to quit and I have not smoked in almost nine months. My longest time ever. You haven't even contemplated killing someone yet.
Stick it out. It's not easy especially when you ween yourself completely.
Yes, you would have failed on this attempt.
However quitting smoking is not easy. It took me a few attempts to do it for good. Now I can't stand the smell of cigarettes.
If you do fail this attempt, don't get discouraged and try again. With willpower you can do it.
I quit on February 18th of this year. The thing that helped me most was finding something fun to do that takes two hands. If I'm using both hands to do something I enjoy I can't hold a cigarette.
I started doing crochet, embroidery, quilting, and jewelry making. If you aren't into those things you could try whittling, painting, or making models.
The trick is to find something you can really get into. And don't worry if you smoke now and then. As long as you resolve to keep trying you'll be fine.
