Tobaco Abstinence Day 1

Published by Valkyyria in the blog Valkyyria's blog. Views: 286

So yeah... i finally decided to quit smoking completely. In the last few weeks i already started to reduce my consume piece by piece.... And well yesterday i decided to give stopping completely a try.

Right now i have been without a cigarette for about 21 hours... well... doesnt sound long but it really feels long... Sometimes i have the feeling i have to brains working against each other... Its like i just finished my pizza and my first thought was "oh how about a cigarette... that would be nice" while the other side of me remembered, that it is not a good idea...

Well.... yeah... how do i feel right now? I cant concentrate and had to stay longer at work, because i needed ages to finish something i wanted finished before leaving. Well.. sometimes i wonder how non-smokers get the time to move on, when there is nothing to do.

Well how do i do it? Im so taken up in my work, that i simply dont think about smoking, except for when i have lunch break... Well for all the other times, when i really really want to smoke a cigarette.... i just write a message to my boyfriend... and he sends a picture of him to me... well... that does sound cheesy, but it works...

So... i will try to update daily on how i am doing

Have a lovely evening Everypony! :smile:

    Hm, not only do you have something else to replace your thoughts of smoking with, you also have your relationship. Odds seem to be in your favor.

    The thing with your boyfriend at the end made my heart melt.
    It's a puddle now.
    (Too cute)


    But for serious, I hope you keep at it, it's going to be tough but I know you have the willpower to push through.

    Keep it up, Valky! If you ever have to smoke, make it an e-cig at the very least.

    As for how I pass the time as a non-smoker, simple: watch movies, watch ponies, play games, listen to music, etc.

    It's fantastic to hear you're going through with it! From what I've read, your plans for keeping off it sound positive and effective!

    You have my full support, Valk! :grin:

    Ai, smoking. I've been trying to stop since yesterday as well. Yesterday I lit my last cigarette, told myself I was never going to touch one after that but nicotine is a bastard, it wants you to return. Blegh, I felt so cold and my hands were trembling when I dropped the last cigarette I'll (hopefully) ever touch.

    I'd be very curious to hear how you're holding up though, it's nice having someone you can relate to, even if it's over the internet. I hope you can really refrain from smoking. In fact, I'm sure of it. Keep it up!

    You can definitely count on my support as well :)!

    Big thanks to all of you. Everypony has been such a great help with everything since I've been here. You guys are the best.

    And Valky, people have suggested an e-cigarette, also to me in person, but I just see that as a solution for someone that wants to smoke, but just doesn't want all the harmful effects from tobacco, tar, CO etc. Which is fine. But I want to overcome this obstacle. We're better than nicotine.

    I hope you're doing well. As for me, I've certainly felt the urge to buy a pack of cigarettes while shopping today. I didn't do it, and I feel pretty well about it. :)
