    No excuse?

    Posted in Quit experiences 14 Apr 2024
    4 Comments

    Hi Quitters Just dropping in to advise or suggest that when a shock or extra stress arises, to not let it affect your goal of Quitting. We dont need to be blindfolded of events in our world that horrify. Some unexpected death in our community. Or disappointment with that promotion at work you were over-looked. These can be classed as an excuse or a cop-out for delaying the inevitable of the fr...

    time is precious

    Posted in Reasons to quit 7 Apr 2024
    11 Comments

    In the beginning there was a habit of smoking that I could break, but not for long. And also a belief that I could not sustain for long enough to free myself from the affliction/ addiction. Also, I was quietly seething those who would telegraph that Quitting the smokes was easy! Well, It's Time that heals this dirty habit! And a true want to Quit. And a genuine belief that makes the Quit pe...

    Hi critters. Whoops Quitters & contemplating one's. From the Allan Carr play book THE GAME IS UP, OVER and Kaput. Take control away from Big Tobacco and all of it's subsidiaries and their new weapon's like vapes.e-cigs and the like. It is poison.. Apparently BIG TOBACCO is behind it all. My advice is to not line their pockets with your hard earned money. They don't deserve your dollars. And...

    Self-belief

    Posted in Getting started 7 Oct 2022

    Hello everyone, I've saved $185.50 this week. Without sounding like a gloating flaming Gullah, I get to keep $185.50 every week! That was roughly what I had to fork out to maintain my smoking past-time. $$$.$$. When I learnt that Quitting the habit was easier than spending about $27 every single day. It didn't matter if I was sick or waiting in in a train station. I didn't think it was stup...

    ..lead us not into temptation..

    Posted in Staying quit 18 Feb 2022

    Hi team, Try to 'not' be fooled into having one puff. Its just poison and just one puff can ignite the whole addiction process into action all over again. If you are lucky enough to class yourself as a social smoker? You probably wouldn't be on here, or would you? In my case, this is my last Quit. Today is 106 weeks totally Quit! Its similar to my previous successful Quit in my early forti...

At $27.50 every day, give or take $10 from where i bought them from or whom i smoked that stuff with? I have surpassed the $19,000.00...

    Prohabtion on selling Tobacco

    Posted in Reasons to quit 9 Dec 2021
    4 Comments

    There is a small country in the the pacific aiming to become cigarette free in a few years. The rest of the world is beginning to sit-up and take notice. Other countries are starting to believe it is possible because this country was the first in the world to allow women to vote in elections. Also, the first official climber to conquer Mount Everest (Edward Hillary). First sea harbour to ban nuc...

    A Habit or Addiction?

    Posted in Staying quit 13 Nov 2021
    8 Comments

    Hi there. I may not be commenting as much as I used to. And it doesn't necessarily mean I'm not logging in as often either. I do log in on Friday's to grab a print-out of my days smokefree and my tally of money saved so far... I cut that out from the print-out and glue it directly into my diary every week. And yippee! Another $185.50 not wafting up in smoke! Anyway, I am starting to form m...

I used to wonder and worry about it alot, I am not so much fixated why this happens because I'm along way down the road of recovery from the addiction these days. 561 days to be exact. Yippee . I think if you can t...
