Tricked Myself Knowingly


This is quite hard for me to fess up about but well it helps too ...

Quitting the habit is sooo hard - main problem being my OH can't handle me quitting I get 'really' ratty with him & by the time I've wound him up he ends up biting back (don't blame him) & then I get annoyed with him & need my habit of getting out of room & calming down with a ciggy!

The hypnotheropy didn't work for me personally but maybe it did in a small way because it has played on my mind.

Anyway because I smoked so much about a year ago i cut down to 'smooth' which is half the tar contents as normal ciggys - being 5mg tar, 0.5mg nicotine & 6mg carbon monoxide. No idea what the normal ciggys hold but I believe its double BUT ... I realised yesterday that silk cut do a silk cut silver personally didn't think silk cut went any lower than the normal low tar ciggys but they do!!!! 1mg tar 0.1mg nicotine & 1mg carbon monoxide really really low!!

Basically I have realised from doing this that it is pure 'habit' I mean its like fresh air I seriously may as well go outside & breathe in the air which is making it pointless to go outside an have one

I think its based on each cigarette?? So even if I smoked 20 it would give me less tar etc than 10 smooths but based on 10 a day (which i cut to from 40) for example my tar intake would be 10mg but 10 smooths it would be 50mg ...

I wish I'd done this sooner because seriously I am sat thinking ok I have them but theres no point it feels like im smoking nothing & it is just HABIT ...

I switched to silk cut silver and my god you nearly pull you lungs out don't you??

It is hard to quit i know, am sat here with a packet of fags on table

You have done really well so far and we both know a lot of it is just habit, but if you can 'trick yourself' its ok

You'll be suprised though how you get used to them and a 'normal' cig with make you gag

keep up the good work babe

I started off really well,went about 3 weeks then OH had some holidays to take and we were out and about and it just started as the odd 1 on a night and has slowly crept back up to at least 10 a day
I am absolutly kicking myself for it, but for some reason i'm not in the right place to quit again if that makes sense
