Fingers crossed, ive managed to get online twice in a day. Mll, Im a teacher but im also trying to find a way of giving that up too, hahaha!

Charlie you are soooo positive, it's really refreshing.

charliebat · 19/10/2005 21:08

I am so postive because I am nearly a whole year away from my last fag. I can trust myself, I think not to smoke

charliebat · 19/10/2005 22:52

spookylucy · 20/10/2005 13:26

charliebat · 20/10/2005 20:51

Tortington · 21/10/2005 00:11

OMG how weird - its fate!

sievehead · 21/10/2005 00:17

hi everyone. Still fag free, but been wobbly last couple of days. have been out tonight - fine, but gagging for fag when I was all dressed up and ready, g and t in hand - being really impatient with DH - anyone proud another day has gone by without a fag. Well done you lot who've managed it for longer, and good luck to those of you who are about to start.

charliebat · 21/10/2005 07:32

Now its ok to wobble and its ok to be ratty, its ok to cry bitterly at the loss of your frind the fag. Whats not ok is to smoke it...
It is fate custy...wonderful

mummylonglegs · 21/10/2005 11:25

Sieve, I think you're doing really well. You're doing a lot more boozing and going out than I'd have dared to at that point!

Hi CC!!

Hello MLL, what you been up to?
Is it just me whoe really looking forwar dto half term...bliss...no school run!

mummylonglegs · 22/10/2005 13:30

I don't know if I'm looking forward to half term or not actually. I've kind of got used to those couple of hours of peace at home alone in the morning

Wheres my angels today then?
I realised today that last night I was in the pub and not even once for even a millisecond did I think of smoking.
Reformed or wot

ScummyMummy · 23/10/2005 16:31

That's great, charlie. I'm hesitant to say this because I've failed this far in before but I know what you mean a bit. There really are swathes of time where I don't think about fags at all and when that happens in previously unthinkable situations I am v pleased. Have to keep on being vigilant but so far haven't had that dangerous "I've been so good that I could have just one fag." feeling. So far so hurrah!

charliebat · 23/10/2005 16:33

Thats thought has got to be the worst istn it? Ill reward myself for all my hard work...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

ScummyMummy · 23/10/2005 16:36

Yes- that's been the key to me failing many times. I seriously thought it was possible to be a part time smoker for ages! Was def fooling myself, sadly.

charliebat · 23/10/2005 17:39

Yep me too I thought I could smoke joints occasionally too, until I found myslef walking to school with the kids slightly stoned

fionagib · 23/10/2005 21:40

sorry haven't been on here all week, we've had half term & been away at mum's & out with kids...

nearly a year cc - that's amazing - am still lozzied up (sucking nicotine lozenges for the newcomers on here...) but dh is now 5 weeks fagless, cold turkey too! And it's bloody great to have a non stinky house. Well, it still stinks, but not of stale vile ciggies...

mummylonglegs · 23/10/2005 21:55

Evening leader and angels.

FG's dh well done! And Scummy, you're doing fab!!

We've got a few success stories on here now haven't we?

What's happened to drop?

EM? How you doing now?

Half term begins then. What you all going to do?

OP posts:
charliebat · 23/10/2005 21:58

Woooo hooo FG...how long have you been off the old fags then? I think you should be hypnotised into thinking polos are lozengers
Bet its Lovely not to have dh smoking. Tell him Well Bloody Done.
And also, tell him that hes tryed so hard to get this far that the only reason to have a fag nowe is if he enjoys withdrawel so much that he wants to do it again.
Does he come on the PC a lot. Send his to whyquit.com for the mental ooommppphhhhh.
Hows you wee ones all getting on?
Tasha seems to be getting a fair amount of homework and is doing really well in Yr3 and Tanya is beginning to like school now and is revelling in being a big girl
er...Mink?
