Very cool blog, Eryn. Goes to show that metrics are key to measuring success of a campaign, right? ;)
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and have a great, healthier New Year!

Eryn: You have done it! Bravo. I quit smoking over four years ago and have NEVER looked back. You must be really starting to feel good now. Just don't ever have that first one and you will be fine. And, as you know, the cravings pass...quicker and quicker. You are a NON-SMOKER! Yay! Scott

hello there. Long time no see/chat.
Good for you,you brave woman. Quitting publicly is strong, determined thing to do. I went opposite. I didn't tell anyone initially except my superheroboyfriend (he's real). My plan included two things everyday, don't smoke and get outside with the dogs for at least an hour. I've been pretty anti-social but I don't care about much above those two things.
It's funny (not haha funny) about the dreams, when I am doing so well and feeling on top of the world, i'll have a dream that I am smoking/smoked and I wake up, discouraged,
disappointed and dejected. I think it's hard to explain how awful that can be.
I am not using any NRT and feel more secure than any time I've quit before. I had my first drink in 3 months on Christmas day and am thinking about quitting drinking for a longer period as it depresses me and when i'm tired, weak and sad is when I feel most vunerable to the nicotine monster. A clear head is our most powerful weapon.
Have you ever read (or heard of) Allen Carr's easy way to stop smoking? such a good book. I have it on CD if you want to borrow it.
I loved hearing about your public quit this am. Way to lead by example.
Keep it up!Thanks for sharing your journey.

Amanda, thanks so much for the feedback. And good for YOU, too! I don't think I could have done it without the NRT, so that's an added strength you must have... I am finding though, that I'm turning to the gum/inhaler less and less as time goes, too. Perhaps I'll escape the post-smoking "Chicklet" addiction, as my dad calls it.
ReplyDeleteI HAVE read Allen Carr's book... went looking for it last night to lend to a friend, but can't find it so far. I might have to take you up on the CD thing. I agree, it's a great read.
Keep it up - good luck with the quitting drinking thing, too. Sounds like it's for all the right reasons!
