We're here for ya Opmania.

We'll be your cheer squad                  

Day 7 tomorrow,  deserves a special dance         

Lol

Very cute

Congratulations Opmania !!!

I've also decided it's time to quit but I have it in my head that I need the book by Allen Carr, to do so.

Can someone tell me where the book is sold ? not online as I don't have a CC.  I looked in BigW...nope.  Am going into town tomorrow and will look in Kmart and I think Dymocks is still open in town....or would the newsagents sell it ?

I had no idea even who Allen carr was

Until this thread

But my boat has sailed without him

And your s can too

I feel good do do do do do do

I knew that I would

Let's make this thread for anyone

Who wants to stop smoking

And all the lovely boardies can help

Everyone  

Hi Opmania,  I think you're going to succeed without any help.

I don't want to use patches etc but because I have it in my head that this book is the one thing that has helped so many people who never ever thought they could stop, I know I won't be able to do it until I've read it.  Silly I know but that's just the way it is for me.

I'm also not going to tell anyone.....hmm, apart from everyone who reads this forum lol ! but I mean in RL.

Yes it is!!! 

Good on you for your smoke free week. Keep it up, you'll love yourself for it 

Well you know I have been thinking of quiting for ages

But haven't told anyone

And after I quit when I got to the fourth day 

I felt like I needed help and rather than go out and

Buy patches or whatever else I need ed to get me through the

Day

Which would have ultimately been a packet of cigs

I put up this thread

And I'm so glad I did because it helped me

And I'm not just saying that

 It did

And it even surprised me that boardies

Who I have NEVER agreed with

Offered encouragement

And renewed my faith in humanity

And renewed my faith in my self

But that's not to say that I'm still not going

To agree with them in the future and Ditto

Perhaps just with a. New respect of their

Opinion.  Or not:)

Soul, I have sent you a PM.

I think it's a mistake not to tell anyone in RL myself.

You need constant reassurance and understanding IMO

They won't help you if they think you're just a cranky pants

for no reason

Thanks stawka,  most of my time is spent by myself atm.  No family nearby.  Once the house is sold and I move, I'd like the fact that I will be a non smoker to be a surprise.  I'm sure the people that I see atm will notice at some stage hehee

Now to get that book.

I did not leave the house for 5 days just so I wouldn't go near

A shop or see anyone with a smoke

Hubby went and got milk etc

I am the only one in our family that smoked

And only one friend now that smokes
