Hello and what great timing for a new thread....reasons for not smoking today are: all of yesterday ...well you would have to go through that again, you would spend a good hour away from dd, scheming and plotting and getting the weed to smoke and then 2 mins smoking the fag and the rest of the day absoullty gutted that youdd had one...
Look at your dd and youll know your making the right decision

We all really want to help-lots of us have been through this within the past year so its still fresh in our minds-most of us would be lying if we said we didnt crave a fag at least once a day but before long you will have forgotten about them for the majority of your day.Thats when you start punching the air every time you realise you no longer smoke-its a fantastic feeling I sill get a few times a day and I have only stopped for 2 and 1/2 monhs!
Let us know how you are feeling today girls.

Well done 2A - i used patches when i first gave up, i think it helped psyhcologically, then after four weeks, i started to forget to put them on, and realised i really didn't need them.
You are in for a rough ride, lots of ups and downs but you sound really positive at the moment, so hold that thought!
MML how are you coping today?

LOL, mll... tomorrow's a new day.

It's kind of funny, I never seem to say the right thing for you, so can imagine you thinking 'what planet is that sodding bloke on ?'



Hope the balance of posts / concern is in my favour though, even if I wind you up or get it wrong sometimes.

2A !!! sneaky !!!

LOL.

I agree your reduction is fab. You've proved yourself you can do it.

Better that you're honest too.

However, even one does kick off the addiction level again, making it harder rather than easier....

Stay on track.

nothing to do with fags - just like to say i like yous pseudonym, mummylonglegs!

and my man is currently off the fags too - his 3rd or 4th attempt.
He used Zyban for 2 months, and is seeing a 'tabacologue' (french 'tobacco doctor'!)
so we're really hoping it will work this time.
He's eating loads of cream buns though,and has gained a bit of weight. But much preferable to a smoke-filled kitchen at 7.30am (when he had his 1st fag before breakfast! ugh!)

From a wise old owl whos been there and done that, although not smoking for 99% of the day is fantastic that just one always taints your brain into thinking that if youve had just one you can have just one more...and another and another. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Talking of smoking in bed, did anyone watch bad behaviour last night? The girls had 5 kids who were all sleeping in her bed and she got them to sleep in thier own rooms and so she had her bed all to herself...she shared it with her ashtray till she fell asleep and I just thought OMG I used to do that....

My mums cheesing me off this week, shes cut out salt from her diet and wanders aroung muttering how much salt this and that has in it and shes drinking those imunitas or whatever bacteria things, and I had to say to to her how amusing it was to see her being so bothered about those things but continuing to smoke her lungs out.

I really want to shake her....im due on...hence my

God and I saw her like sucking on a roll up and I wanted cry Theres nothing stopping her stopping, theres no need for her to keep doing it...OH and shes writing on the baccy packets like 4.15 Sunday so she can see how long its lasting her..would it be wrong of me to write even if it lasts a week its still killing you?
