Domming myself smoke free!

[Betticus]

Allright everyone. I've been wanting to quit smoking for quite a while. So beginning tomorrow I'm going to begin the day by holding off on a cigarette as long as I can. Then I will extend that smoke free period no less than ten minutes every day. If I go longer than that is the new benchmark.

I'll keep track of my progress here so maybe I can get some support and/or maybe inspire someone else too.

Wish me luck.

Good luck, Uncle Betticus

Best of luck to you!!! my Master and i just quit recently due to my being pregnant, it's SO tough. You can do it though. =)

 

[Betticus]

Made it to nine this morning... got up at five thirty. I'll see what happens tomorrow.

 

[kitty4ever]

That's progress.

Since I'm allergic, I'm not quite sure how hard it is for you to quit, but when I had to cut back on caffeine and try to eliminate coffee completely, it was HORRIBLE. I still can't kick coffee completely, but I AM down to only one cup in the morning.

Great job!!

 

[Betticus]

Allright, I meant to make it to ten this morning but I screwed up and didn't smoke till 11.

I guess I'll have to spank myself.

i'm confused... you waited til later and this is bad? hehe

Surely you have some willing meat you can pound on, you shouldn't spank yourself. LOL

you've inspired me. I'll attempt to track my progress here as well.

I think of smoking like air pollution. this beautiful pristine world in human form sucking toxic air pollution into it's ecosystem~~~ pretty disgusting to see it that way ..ugh!

okay, you're doing great Betticus!!!! thank you for this support : )

Hope it works out for you. I'm not at a point where I want to quit yet, and in fact it's better if I don't quit yet for my mental health, but I support you all the way.

I'm still smoke freeeeee


Betticus, hope all is going well for you too: )

 

[Betticus]

It's working so far. Made it to two in the afternoon yesterday and two thirty today which was a miracle since I'm not working this weekend.

And hooray for ethereal~minx. We'll have to keep track of each other on this.

it was such a good idea Betticus that I'm domming myself free of quite a bit!!!

it is not easy overcoming this ego but it is soooo worth it.

what I need to remember is to be kind to myself when I slip, because the punishment is actually built in.

thanks again: )

I didn't have anyone else to Dom so it all came down to just me. Use this kind of idea freely and if it helps then it's all for the best.

 

[kitty4ever]

Congrats to both of you

Okay everyone, update time. I fucked it all up bad on Sunday and started smoking at around noon. Oh well, it's not like I have to just give up right. So I punished myself by not allowing myself to touch myself sexually all day yesterday.

Anyhow today is a slightly different story. It's 4:00 and that was my goal for today so Yay! to me. The craving is there but at work today it was almost non-existant and very easy to forget about.

The craving is starting to come later on in the day too so the suffering is only in the afternoon. I'll shoot for five thirty tomorrow then an extra hour and a half on Wednesday since I work from seven to seven. That way I won't be taking a smoke break at work. It will probably be a test of my sheer damn willpower.

Wish me luck.

It's all in the small victories, Uncle.

We all stumble occasionally... pick yourself up, brush off and perservere.

 

[Betticus]

Thirty six minutes to go... Must make it thirty six more minutes....


Grrrrrrrr....

Just wanted to wish you both the best of luck in quitting .. it's not easy to do. I smoked for 10 yrs myself and have been smoke free since December 24, 2003.
I wont lie, the cravings still come .. but the longer you start to go, the easier it is to keep in mind you've made it this far, it's worth it to keep going! ..
Congrats on the quitting you've done so far.. and again the best of luck in continuing the process.

Thanks for the support.

It was terrible but I made it to 6:02 this evening. Seven tomorrow should be a pain in the ass but definately doable.

I did start to get a small headache at the end though.

 

[Betticus]

Right, so today I worked from seven this morning till seven this evening. I just left my smokes at home as I didn't trust myself fully. I got relieved a little early so was home by seven ten. Didn't light one till seven thirty.

I seem to be doing good with this.

you seem to have the "habit" part under control. I have to say that in the past when i tried to stop that was what did me in...so good for you!

 

[Betticus]

Well, today is Thursday and it's only 4:33. I have three and a half hours to go and it's starting to suck already. It will be well worth it though.

I think that it's the mental part of the habit that I'm fighting right now. The urge to be smoking, not for the need of the drug.
