Day 5 - Friday night

It is Friday night. I decide to stay in. If I go out…

I still haven't had any cravings for cigarettes. I am pleased about that. I am still very resolved and determined.

I've got a good DVD and I potter in my pyjamas all evening. So there, I've shattered the rock n roll lifestyle illusion that I am normally associated with!

I do begin to wonder whether not smoking is turning me into a boring person… I have hardly seen my friends for days.

Then I remember why I am stopping. See the beginning of my diary for some of the reasons.

I said before that I wouldn't give any advice about quitting as each person will motivate their willpower in their own way. Here's a suggestion however:

Write down all the reasons you want to stop smoking. If you get a few days down the line and feel tempted to start again, or just have one (which we know is going to make us want more), then read your list and think about whether you really want one.
