Theres a few quitters here.
Im charliecat and have been fag free for about 9 months after a good couple of years of trying.
Come and chat your smoking fears away!

Hi all!

Glad to hear you sounding a bit more chirpy, mll!

Hooray to all us quitters, old and new . And to all those who (keep) falling off the wagon, well just jump back on again! Don't give up quitting. At least that's what I keep telling myself...

Day 3, and keeping myself manically busy so as not to think about it too much. Luckily we've just moved house, no puer yet though, so I've got loads of organising to do. Keeps my mind off it. Goodness knows what I'll do when everything's tidy though [worried emoticon].

Last night got a bit tipsy with dh and could've died for a smoke, but he wouldn't let me (good old him ), so I went to bed early instead .

Won't be on much cos we don't have a phone line let alone Internet, so am hoping for your silent support! Be strong everyone

See you soon xxx (bit too many emoticons in this one me thinks)

You looked a bit pained when you climbed your stairs, drop, that's what I meant by limp. Maybe you were faking it for a sympathy vote. Or so that I'd think your offering me wine was more to do with anaesthetic properties of alcohol than bad habit?

As for being positive, it's so hard, I don't know. Sometimes, most of the time, I think I'm rather a morbid sort. But having dd has changed me a lot.

Hi em, good for you!!! Do come back soon, I need a fellow semi-failer to keep me going. I can nag you and let of steam you see. Oh, selfish old mll ...

nag if you want. It'll only make me want to smoke more

also, if you smoke gives me an excuse to too, so stop it

Ummm ... em, my nagging isn't supposed to make you want to smoke ...

Obviously, but any excuse...

Still, it hasn't so far. Day 4. Still going to bed early every night so as not to think about it!!

I'm just drinking an extra beer so as not to think about it!

hope those urges aren't too bad girls... cc, are you still talking to me?!

Are you back to your old amount of smoking,FG?

Fg of course im talking to you.>>.???!!!! Not been here much though, another rushed wave

Ah ha!!!!!!!!!!! I have just read that you have been smoking Have mercy? NO CHANCE, it was you who got me into this...dont be falling back into the ashtray yourself young lady
Drop, OUCH.
MLL, is there anychance of your dps job getitng easier or him getting anothe rone or something?
(Says she the jobless nearly whole family)
EM are you back with us?
Im going to make dinner, cannot belive my life has become breakfast lunchbox dinner bed again. Drives me NUTS.

At least when we smoked we had that to look forward in between,eh cc? Ho,Hum-the doldrums of being healthy!

Are we allowed to have a virtual puff on here-if we are, I'm inhaling for England now and bloody lovin' it!

How have you been managing MLL? Are you working next Friday?

Hi drop, hi everyone else! I'm hanging in, though I'm not fantastic, I had a fag today.

cc, alas, dp's job depends on him completing this particular project. If he fails with it then he won't get his contract renewed next year and in his field he likely won't get further work if he messes this up. That's why he's under such pressure. The trouble is he doesn't handle pressure well at all and is very hard to live with and keep any modicum of positivity going. Plus because I shoulder every other aspect of our lives while he gets on with this I'm also tired and stressed. So he feels on the verge of a breakdown and wants me to support him but I feel the same and can't support him as well as he needs / wants. And on it goes. In a nutshell.

Sorry I haven't been around quite as much as I usuall am either. I've got some extra work at the moment that I can do from home searching for Nazi looted works of art from Jewish families. I used to do it before current job, it's tiring but very fulfilling. And it's paying for dd's birthday presents

Mll, what an exciting job! What do you do/did you do before dd?

Yep, cc, I'm back with you! Day 5 today. Not around much cos moved house and have no internet yet. And don't worry, our family's practically jobless too!

Why does everyone keep talking about smoking and virtual puffing and stuff? It's not very encouraging

Oh yeah, and I'm back to a bottle of wine a night to stop thinking about smoking. Not sure how healthy that is, really...

long long ago, em, in what seems like a different lifetime, I was an artist. I worked mostly with photography and film in the end but I'm not a bad painter. Then I did a PhD which involved lots of exciting things like giving papers at Tate Modern and ICA, then got pregnant. Now I work part-time as a film researcher and the closest I get to art is painting the kitchen wall over the cooker as it continually gets manky looking.

Sorry evansmummy-I presume you were talking about my virtual puff? Can't do it in real life so thought I'd have a sneaky one on here!
You are absolutley right and I won't do it again...Miss!!
