I have been smoking cigarettes for the past 9 years, and people always used to harp on me, it's bad, when you gonna give up etc... and i would tell each and everyone to lay off my case, i enjoy smoking and will give up when i am ready.....
Well i do believe that time has approached me... I have been having these feelings for quite some time now... i am only having a few drags of my cigarettes these days and am smoking less purely because i just don't get off on them the way i used to crave and really enjoy it.... now i can tell it's purely habit and not enjoyment... Also i am quite sick of paying $9.95 a pack, it's a rip-off and not worth it anymore.... I feel confident in myself of giving up except for the 2 times im worried about buckeling....
* the after-meal cigarette i still enjoy
* clubbing and socialising, going out etc....
I was curious to know if anyone here has successfully given up and how hard it actually was.... I have never been on patches, so i am thinking of starting these in 1 weeks time...
Having a non smoking partner i feel will make it slightly easier and i am eager to see how much better i will feel... i also have a throat/health problem at the moment which is another reason for me quitting.
Your comments would be helpful.....
I am now into my 5th day of non smoking and am at times finding it really difficult, other times quite easy....
