LOL, its not my birthday on monday...my mum told me it was but its not, its tuesday Had a pants night, it was like queuing in tescos for a drink, the pub/club were 4 walls full of people thick and we hadnt had any beer before we went out so we gave up after 2x30 mins waiting at the bar headed for some chips and burgers(wed had a chinese earlier) and then came home...

Ummm ... cc, so you need your mum to tell you when your birthday is? Just how old are you?

How's it going notasheep? You're not quietly off puffing are you?

I've had a miserable cold plus been doing lots of work from home lately so I'm not on MN as often as normal (i.e. all the bloody time).

What are everyone's plans for Christmas then? Sticking round your own home or off to visit family? We're staying at home for the FIRST time ever. Dp's dad died two years ago so we've been obliged to stay with his mum. Before that pre-dd I always used to go to stay with my mum. But last year we did tell everyone that now dd's 3 she needs to have a cosy pajamay kind of Christmas taking it easy. She doesn't travel that well, gets very homesick after the first night!

notasheep · 18/12/2005 21:48

Good evening everyone,To be very honest I have NOT had a single puff,now boyfriend absolutely STINKS! He is still a smoker.He had the nerve to complain about my garlic breathe this morning!!

He is the stink bomb and my nose seems to be detecting everything,dp was out in garden this evening(dd was still awake at this time) for a while,he then walked into kitchen and he honked of Cannabis-I was upset,he was shocked i could smell it.

Cannabis is a big issue in our relationship and a very very long story!!

Anyway the main thing is I have done nearly a week and i am not climbing the walls.I really want to not smoke which makes the whole thing alot easier rather than making up stories in my head to justify cigarette.

Morning girls I will be 27 on Tuesday My mum told me it was monday last week and I just assumed her being my mum and all that that she was right
Sounds good notasheep, dp hasnt been tormented by too many bad thoughts either
I am at home for Xmas, my mums coming over and then taking a dinner back home for my brother.
Do you smoke weed Notasheep?
I must say i was never a big smoker but I would have a joint if it was being passed round and the weekend before I quit for good I piled some skins with some weed and no tobacco and it was rotten, so the next day, stupidly, i put some baccy in with it and I had this snakey evil feeling running up my veins and I realised it was the nicotine running back into my system and I felt literally like a junkie getting a soothing/but very scarey fix.
Had a week of failing and getting in a right fit with myself but now been stopped for over a year.
Anyway, your gonna have to move to pipe smoking or something as the joints will get you back on the fags

Dp's a dope head. Fortunately for me he doesn't smoke 'normal' fags or I'd never have succeeded in quitting. I totally admire you folk with smoking partners who still quit, I'd have been way too weak.

notasheep · 19/12/2005 14:18

Charlie-Hi! Its a week-time zooms by when u r having fun!! Like you I would have the odd puff of a joint being passed around,but i would never of considered myself a joint smoker,i can even remember the last time i had some 1999!! it doesnt make me feel good at all-so no problems there.

Kliest-Hi! OMG even more in common! I find it harder dealing with dps dope habits than i do stopping my smoking!! dp goes so pig eyed and dribbly! and looks such a waste it really affects our sex life!!
He says its the same as alcohol-OK then he reminds me of the man sat outside the post office with his flies undone.Know what I mean
.

kleist · 19/12/2005 15:32

notasheep I know what you mean ... dp's dope-smoking is often, I think, out of hand. He's convinced it helps him 'get things done' and 'think straight' but I think it does the opposite. I guess it makes him stop worrying about what he's got to do but it doesn't actually help him do anything. He's got a very cerebral job and he's convinced it's necessary. I can see from the outside though that he's kidding himself in just the same way as I've forever kidded myself that 'I'm the type of person who NEEDS to smoke' in order to deal with stress /anxiety etc. etc.

What you gonna do tomorrow cc? It's SO fantastic you're having a fagless birthday. Just think if you hadn't quit you'd have a little cloud of depression over you that you've now reached 50, oops, I mean 21 or whatever, while still smoking!

Piss Off...still in my twenties
Love the description of your blokes. Kleist has it ever occured to you that because your dp isnt smoking fags between joints hes having joints as fags and if he doesnt smoke a joint hes going into nicotine withdrawal inbetween joints IYKWIM.
Gonna crack open a bud right now actually...Piss Head.

Mind your language, cc. We're all ladies on this thread, right?

dp doesn't use normal fags in his spliffs. He uses herbal tobacco which is high on tar but low on nicotine. He's never been a fag addict. When we first met I was on 20-a-day (agh!!) and he could always take it or leave it. He's only really got more into dope smoking since his work schedule has been so crazy. At the moment I'm having a job getting him to NOT work on Christmas day

dropinthemanger · 19/12/2005 22:56

YO!!!

dropinthemanger · 19/12/2005 22:58

Went to dh's brothers at the weekend and dh had a fair few puffs of the ganga variety and also tonight-this is after a few months break!!! Was NOT happy! Told him he was on a slippery slope but he has assured me he won't start again but then my Mum is coming down on Wednesday for Crimbo so we shall see.....

I didn't think twice about wanting a drag-just didn't want to!!!

And was pissed!!!

Opps sorry for language Well done drop....remarkable isnt it?
How I would love to be a take it or leave it sort of dude Kleist...

OP posts:
kleist · 20/12/2005 19:12

Yes I wish I could take it or leave it too, cc. I can't imagine being like that though. Although I guess that's the difference between a non-alcoholic and an alcoholic, I CAN have a drink but don't HAVE to.

I think dp borders on addicted to dope though. If it's there he HAS to smoke it. He can only not smoke if he doesn't have any. Gets on my nerves really but he doesn't drink or have any other vices so I feel a bit of a meany nagging him about it.

How you doing today notasheep? My double ... I feel vaguely nervous asking you what job you do, how many kids you've got etc. in case you're identical to me!!

notasheep · 20/12/2005 21:08

F**K it,I am being completely honest as normal,seriously,at 1030am i had a cigarette,it was foul,I counted the puffs (SIX in all) and felt really clumsy pretending to smoke the thing.I was so angry while i was doing it BUT i do not feel like I am back to square one.

So why did i smoke the death stick?
I was visiting a client-obsessive compulsive,low self esteem on Diazepam 5mgs! mental heslth issues snd she gives me a fag-how weak am I.Havent told dp,his joint smoking is f**king me off completely.
He raves about dd and ds but what would they be if i had spent 40 weeks smoking joints?

notasheep · 20/12/2005 21:12

Hi Kliest-ds had the throwing up bug last night,what a nightmare!!! changed cot 4 times,up till 2am and up again at 4am.
But ds is alot better today thank goodness.

A little more info for you-dd will be 6 on 1st January-YES i had a MILLLENIUM BABY!!!
ds was 1 on 30th September.

Have had numerous jobs,careers,vocations,not sure where to begin!

Good Good, I used to come and type on this thread when I was having a bad moment just rattle rattle rattle type type type.......
got me through it.
Its the best thing in the world that you can do for yourself, remember that, and remember one day, I promise you you will get out of bed and not think about smoking till 4pm, and at 4pm you will simply rember that once upon a time you smoked. xxx

notasheep to be honest you were doing so well it was a bit strange. Well, unnerving . I had a few slip-ups, just like you described. It doesn't mean anything. Just carry on as though it never happened. And yes, we do tend to be very honest here. There's no point not being is there? If you can't tell the truth about having the odd fag on here, where can you?

kleist · 20/12/2005 23:39

Hey guys, just before I hit the hay, check out my little beauty: here

dropinthemanger · 21/12/2005 15:03

Hope you have a good one!!

kleist · 21/12/2005 15:48

Are you not planning on popping in again then drop?

What's everyone else's Christmas schedule like? I'll be here on and off no doubt as dp still has to work quite a bit ... sigh ...

notasheep · 21/12/2005 19:16
