You have soooooo got to get your success tracker Lex - looky here:-
The psychological effect of looking at it underneath every post you do I think is so satisfying and will be even more so in your case, having quit for as long as you have

Hi Guys and Girls, just moving my thread over from C.A.G.
I started smoking when I was 16/17 and then gave up at 23. Some 15 years later, god knows why, I started again. Since then I have been smoking in shifts, 2 years on / 2 years off It has crept up to 30 a day now.
So thanks to Bankfodder starting this forum, here we go again
I have set myself a date, Oct 1st, and now I need to get my head in order. Some time ago member's here where all talking about a very good book, does anyone recall what it was called and who by???. It sound just the job to keep your mind focused.
I will let you know how it goes and how I feel
Lex

I have set my date Oct 1st 07, knowing I had two social events to attend which would not be the most conductive atmosphere to start off in !!!
Also work-wise I am about to enter a busy but less stressful time of the year
I look on this as another way of empowering ourselves, to be free of the dreaded fags. I feel like I did when I sent off my first S.A.R.
I think I have got my head around it this time.
Thanks for the support.
Alex

If you're busy you'll have less time to notice that you aren't smoking. I dread to imagine how many ciggies I lit, and then left to burn away because I was pre-occupied doing something else.
Will also be good not to be one of those daft people huddled round a patio heater outside the pub in the wind and pouring rain!

Was just going to post to wish you good luck for tomorrow but have spotted your post on another thread - have you given up totally already, after reading the Allen Carr book?

This book simple changes the way you look at smoking, and stopping.
Giving up suggests your being deprived of something, making a sacrifice, doing without and missing out. The 'Big Monster' in your head that always tell you to start again and we need our ciggys.
Allen Carr turns this around and convinces you, you are getting rid of a addiction, which it is, the 'Little Monster' in your stomach. He goes on to list all the bad things that fag's can do, and then balance's this with the good things to had from ciggys.
See the post below
