charliecat and the fagless angels

[mummylonglegs]

hello everyone. Like the name, leader?

Hi all!! GRRRRRRRRRRRR! Just wrote a massive message to you all only for it all to be deleted! My pet hate!
Have been away since Friday and have missed mumsnet alot!
Have come back with a horribly chesty,dry cough that has been creeping up on me for over a week.Scares the hell out of me as always remember that woman who got lung cancer 25 years after stopping smoking!
How bloody depressing is that?

Mll-hope dd's eyes heal by themselves-ops are very distressing for all involved when they involve a general.

On a more positive note,finally got the results of the MRI scan I had on my knee and there is no permanent damage to my ACL,(main ligament at back of knee),so no ops needed for me in the future!

Lucy-any nearer to quitting yet?

Sorry!

Wow, not more convi here? Feel like I havent posted for ages although about 24 hours is about as long as it really is
dp has stopped smoking, i think, dont want to ask but he didnt have any fags and he hasnt been out today..hmmmmmm

Are you keeping quiet about it cc?

About him and his smoking...I was...then about 3 hours later he came in reeking of fags and so my thoughts that he had stopped were wrong.
This morning before hed even opened his eyes he was coughing and I couldnt help but snigger. his whole body is pleading with him to stop but that monster nicotine is controlling his brain/common sense.
Im hoping ive lured another MN on here so we can brainwash her ;)

Hello, good news about your knee! im still guiltly smoking and still wanting to give up. i'm going through a bad time at the moment and just havent got the energy to do it. I will do it, I want to do it but just not now. I know that there will always be excuses but I know now is not the right time. Im angry and weepy enough as it is!

Is that me CharlieCat? Three weeks off the fags now (I am admittedly using patches).

It is you MM well done 3 weeks is good amount of time. Are you gonna stay or just lurk?!
Lucy, you have to pick a time when your strong enough to fight it. Once your at that point no excuse though ok???!!!

Ooooh - CC I think I'll do a bit of both This is my umpteenth attempt at stopping smoking. DH did it 6 months ago with great success. I tried cold turkey but I just couldn't cope (it brought on depression) - have come to the conclusion that a lifetime on patches is far better than a lifetime of cigarettes. Initially i felt like a failure becasue i didn't go cold turkey but you know now i feel very proud of myself.

As long as you wean yourself off them. I have tryed Oh at least 200 times if not 2000 times to stop with EVERY possible gadget possible.
Some people seem to just stop and move on....Not me..Like a Living Hell lol!!

Quickie from me guys on dp's laptop - my monitor is down down down so sorry I'm not around. Will try to do a quick update from work on Friday. Thinking of you all and especially missing you leader puss

monitor down?:0 you need to get it fixed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

where is everyone?

Can I join your club please? You seem like such nice people ... I've been quitting on and off for most of a year now and been 'clean' for about a month ...

Oeeerrr another new quitter, yep feel free to join us, the more the merrier We have tended to have totally gone off the subject of smoking recently and I was actually going to ask everyone how they were getting on, update on amount of time quit etc...now seems as good a time as any
Well im charliecat and i have been off the fags for nearly a year now. Am immensely proud of myself (read that as >) and have 2 dds age 4 and 7. Welcome
A little about ourselves everyone?

good going charliecat! A year must seem like such an amazing achievement. As for me, I started attempting to quit this Spring and have been succeeding and failing ever since. So that means it's been about 6 months since I made the decision but only really about a month since I've been absolutely fagless. I've got one dd who's 3. And gorgeous.

I took forever to finally get it in my thick head that stopping smoking meant not having any EVER. Kept having just 1...leading to 4 weeks worth etc etc

I actually don't think I've got that completely straight in my head just yet either!

LOL, well im sure you sort of know that one is never just one..

charliecat,or should i say clevercat,well done you!!
I quit smoking for 3 years and started again then quit again for 18months and started again,stress was unbelievable moving house with 2 little ones.I have just had a fag,and know i must stop AGAIN and no I can do it as as you can see i have done it before.Maybe i need to join your club!

Please do Dont know where everyones gone off to , thought mummylonglegs was gonna try and log in today......
Breaks my heart the thought of smoking after 3 years off

Hullo cc, sorry didn't log on yesterday. I have sent you a CAT actually via MN to explain why I'm not around quite so much but how I'm going to make it possible to be again soon.

Gosh, notasheep, I also once started smoking again after 2.5 years so I know what you mean. I also once stopped for a year and started again. It's so damned easy. But cc, I think you'll be fine as you're so clued up. I never was when I quit all those times. I am now.

Looking forward to getting CAT MLL

hello cc. What are you up to on this fine Saturday? We're going to take our dd to see a big fireworks display this afternoon. It's her first one. I'm hoping she won't be terrified! It's also my first cigarette-free one. I'll be there inhaling the sulphur from the fireworks ...

It IS quiet around here though isn't it?
