Minor re-adjustment

Just starting out on another quit, lat one lasted 11 days and 5 hours, again I busted watching Rugby.

Quit Line counselor rang today and was very helpful, and I am now into 10 hours of freedom and hungry for more.

The counselor said that the effects of the inhalator take 30 minutes after a puff, so that's something to bear in mind and that on average 12 relapses before a quit sticks. hope this information is helpful to someone

    Good on you for sticking with your goal Jatchat. Suddenly everything will click into place and you will succeed. The effort now is well worth the end rewards which are abundant.
    Keep up the positive thinking!

    Thanks Happiness, It's a slow process, minute by minute, on day four now.
    Hope all is well

    Find another main goal which you cannot achieve with cigarettes between fingers, stop smoking as side reason while you focusing and trying to reach bigger goal.. You proved you can do it, now you need to find reason why do it forever..

    My main goal, while I have time, is to travel Australia by road, taking landscape photos on the way. I have modest means and the extra money from not smoking would serve this goal well.
    Thanks matik_one, I can feel it motivating me already to succeed.
    I switched off the football tonight, I don't want to endanger my quit.

    Great goal Jatchat. Having those memories to share in the future .. wow … across Australia and taking pictures .. that would be amazing . You sound very gifted in photography … go for it . Warning ; the memory of the old ball and chain is sneaky . It’s the nature of the beast and it has different plans “ just one “ come to mind . Don’t feed it ok 👍 make preparation for your road trip . What’s the plan ? Map it out.
    What a great incentive for you . Yours is one of the first posts I’ve read . Thanks for sharing . Dreams can come true and I really like your future plan . BLieve.
