I find it hard to believe I am really struggling because of a misconception, and also its an easy excuse to start smoking again, my son said to me today you are miserable is it because you stopped smoking, he said this to me in the snooker club I had finished work and was having a few drinks, and I admit I have been a little distant from my son and daughter recently due to different reasons but I didnt think it was anything do to with me not smoking, but boy did it give a big opening to nicodemon, my immediate thought was to start smoking there is no way I would want to lose my children, but of course I will not lose my children it was the demon working on me and by dam it nearly worked.
I was so close to smoking you would never believe, I arrived home and I thought to hell with it and I rang a taxi company and I asked them to pick up a pack of cigarettes and a lighter for me, and while I was waiting for them to arrive I started writing this and by the time they arrived I didnt want to smoke, I didnt want to throw away all I had achieved so far, so I paid for the cigarettes and told the taxi driver I didnt want them and I paid the fare, and now I am feeling so pleased I didnt smoke and I live to fight another day.

I cannot believe this.
You! Are! A! Non-Smoker!!!
Do not smoke. It is disgusting, and you know it.
Stay on track... understand we will always have to deal with these "cravings"... always (or so I've been told.)
What is the next reward you have in mind, by the way? You've bought an iPhone.... what is next on your list??!!
J ;)
And taxi drivers brings you stuff??? Hmmm. Not where I live.
Main points:
You stayed strong
You were honest with the urge
You came on here
You did NOT smoke
We are all quitters in training and I'm glad you found the strength. I think it is the weather or something out there as we've all seemed to "struggle" lately or there is more mention of that "urge"
Come on all.....let's keep the quit going and stick together. Slips or not join in!!
but you always have a smile for others i always smile at your coments, your son and daughter will love you just the same now your not a smoker, perhaps more they will be so proud of you, so just thought i would share this and hope you are doing ok now, you can do this, flick that nicodemon to the other side of the world and be a happy none smoker, good luck
