Tobaco Abstinence Week 1

Published by Valkyyria in the blog Valkyyria's blog. Views: 271

So the first week is nearly over now... didnt have much time to post again ;)

So how did everything go? My strongest fear was for going out at night, because beer and cigarette are magnetic.... So what happened? On Thursday my boyfriend told me he got a travel to come for the weekend. So i wasnt alone and everything went pretty well :) Still no cigarette and a great weekend.

Okay... still the withdrawal symptoms are getting on my nerves. My hands are shaking i feel very cold a lot, and sometimes i get depressed suddenly. And I cough like i was ill. Soo.. yeah... not so great.

Still im on my way ;)

    Still supporting, all the way!
    If you've been able to handle a week so far, you're in great shape!

    Your willpower and dedication is amazing! We may not know each other much, but I have been keeping up with these blogs, and I have to say, you're doing a lot better than most people I know that are trying to quit smoking.

    I used to be addicted to video games. But I got around it. Come on, you can do it. :3

    A week already! You are showing much dedication, which is awesome! Hold on, you can do it. You have my full support.
    I'm doing pretty well too. No cigarette like you, but Cold Turkey is certainly not over.
    Well, this is week one of many, many weeks to come. But seeing as we've both made it for a week already without a smoke, I'm guessing we can keep it up.
    Like Proxy said, it's a difficult thing to do for a smoker. Having gone through a whole week without a smoke is really an amazing achievement.

    Let's do it. On to the second week of tobacco abstinence!

    It's great to hear that someone is kicking their drug habits. Just remember that it can be easy to fall back into the habit again with just one smoke, even years down the road.
    Stay strong, and we all support you!

    Ha, you and I are in the same boat.

    I'm trying to quit tobacco right now too, although you're slightly ahead of me lol. I've tried to quit a couple times, once I even made it 3 or 4 months with the liberal use of gum... this time I'm trying to wean myself off a bit before stopping completely.

    I'm well acquainted with the withdrawal, and I know it sucks, but that goes away pretty quick and after a month or two you'll barely even think of it anymore. Problem is, the cravings never really go away, especially when you're around someone else who smokes, so if you aren't vigilant and figure that 'just one' won't hurt, you'll fall right back into it. I did...


    Anyways, remember that you're not alone. I'll be rooting for ya :D
