MAI QUIT BLOG - 3 February 2010

 

Check this out, had the landlord come for his annual inspection the other day. Usually I would be running around like mad picking up all the cigarette butts I had chucked in the garden, but hey, now that I don't smoke there are none! So anyway, the dude arrives and I'm like laxing back in the sun. He says, "hey, I hear you've given up smoking, hows that been?" I gave him the 411 on the up's and down's, then he tells me he's a smoker and thinking of giving up. We end up talking for like an hour, it was cool.

MAI QUIT BLOG - 18 January 2010

 

Chilling out on holiday, damn the weather is good. Talking about good weather, met a mate from the Gold Coast, do you know they can't smoke on beaches in parks, on the street or within 4 metres of a restaurant over there. Man, imagine if they bring that in over here, I am bloody glad I have quit. That's just out of it. Back on air soon. Don't miss me too much.

Man I was not in good shape yesterday, so I called Quit, they gave me the 4 11 and I felt way better, it was great to have someone who understood what I was feeling, I think it's more about the crap weather than the smoking, but hey I'm on holiday and I am going to enjoy it. Keep listening to my show, even though I'm not there and don't forget the Quit All Stars Show will still be beaming live and direct from the USA this Friday so tune in at 7 in the pm.

"How come I work through out Christmas, slightly stressed because Christmas is always a hard time in radio because there's no one in the building so it's lonely and busy. Then I take my holidays and its windy and freezing in Christchurch, what's up with that. One month not smoking and I miss it today. Just bummed out not going to let it get to me. Think I may call my Quit buddy today and just get a bit of help. Peace Out.

What do I & 240 hours have in common? Well that's how many hours it's been and counting since I had a smoke. Now I know some of you thought I wasn't being straight up and that they were just ads, but can you tell the difference in my voice - that's the real Hare! So how is it? I gotta say & I know this isn't the same for everyone, but I have found it really easy so far. I think that's because I was really over smoking so I was determined to do it. Sure there are still times I want a smoke but I just do something to distract myself. If you want to give up smoking click here to QUITLINE...
