Day four

Re: Day four

Four days since I've had a cigarette after 30-odd years of smoking.
Don't feel any better for it so why am I being so stubborn?

One thing I'm not bothered about is the 'weight gain' you supposedly get - I can't eat anything cos I know I can't have a smoke afterwards so everything now tastes dull and cardboardish!

I want to quit smoking as well and I can empathise and relate to all you are saying. I tried to quit a few days ago but I was extremely irritable after only 3 hours and was having a bad day anyway so I cracked. Bad timing, chose the wrong day. But is there ever a right day?

I quit a few years ago after going to my local New Leaf course - I stayed smoke free for 9 months and then we had some major crisis at home and I started up again. During that 9 months I noticed no difference whatsoever in my tastebuds and I still had no money because I spent the ciggie money on other things instead - like more alcohol to compensate, lol.

I wish I could stop but I never feel comfortable when I'm not smoking. It's like losing a loved one.

Best of luck mate, hope you do it but it sounds like your heart isn't in it and that's a recipe for failure I'm afraid.

Give it a while, on of my Dad's friends gave up smoking a few years ago & surprised how much more he could taste & small after a few weeks.
