"Day 3. Had to cancel the ‘reminders’, ‘motivation messages’ etc as I’ve been doing well, but every time these pop up to remind me how well I’ve been doing it makes me think about cigarettes which I haven’t been doing as I’ve kept myself extremely busy, so I’ve switched them off and will make use of the distractions and aids as needed.

Looking for rewards (long term gain) can really help the short term pain! Reward yourself for good stuff!

The app tells you how much you’ve saved by not smoking. Might be a more honest judge!

"I've got a deal with myself. I put a list of things I want to do on 20 cards. Small things. Each day I don't give in - I select a card at random! Winner!"

Great idea! Maybe get your partner to provide cards of things they will do (wash dishes, foot massage, cook dinner etc) and get external rewards as well!

That’s not your fault and your brain is not an idiot - it’s how addiction works unfortunately. Keep going - soon the rewards will present themselves as more positive things and the ciggie reward will fade away

"Day 10, and I sat around with my brother’s friends at his birthday party - everyone smoking! I managed to say no. I’ve found that saying “no thanks, I’m not a smoker,” is a better frame of mind than “I’m very tempted but I’m quitting.” Hoping you keep up your goals this week! Keep it up. You’re doing yourself a world of good."

This is what I find the hardest - being around other smokers. When I’m around people smoking, I start to crave it, even though I’ve been a non smoker for years. So I try and stay away as much as I can from these situations- cos if I start again, that’s it for me

"I fell pregnant by accident and while I stopped smoking the day I found out (18 Mar) I've cheated and given in to cravings a lot of times. I'm 11 weeks tomorrow and know I need to properly stop, for good, without sneaking one every few days if I feel stressed and telling myself it's no big deal. I want to do right by my baby."
