evansmummy · 02/01/2006 21:17

nota, i've just started scrapbooking too. It's great for not smokine, too, cos you keep your hands occupied. In the middle of doing a LO now, in fact. But, as per have been horrible enticed onto MN. Aaaaaaagh

notasheep · 02/01/2006 21:44

evans-i will be kept busy doing this scrapbooking all year as dd is 6 and ds is 1 so loads of decluttering to do.(6 years ugh)
It will either go in the scrapbook,recycling or bonfire and my house will be calm and i will NOT be a smelly drug addict!

hey cc.

you'll be pleased to know I've had a change of plan. dh still has loads left so I gave up on boxing day. still feel something is missing all the time.

charliecat · 03/01/2006 20:22

OMG...well done you Somethings missing huh? Yep...awful feeling. But thats whats kept you going back again and again for more...that nagging feeling, eventually I promise, it goes. And if you stay off the fags you need never go through this again

and understanding the emotional loss

notasheep · 03/01/2006 21:08

Here too-that missing feeling,but i know it WILL go away,i will get through a whole day at somepoint and suddenly realise i havent thought about having a fag.

Helloooo to you all!!!!!!!!

Hi People,

I posted on here before Xmas saying that I was giving up in the new year (not as a resolution just as something I want to do) and I am going to the stop smoking drop in on Saturday to collect some free patches and then as of Sunday I shall officially be a non smoker, I'm even counting down the days on our notice board.

I'm pretty hopeful about this attempt, last year I managed a couple of months but then I was planning my wedding, moving house, got made redundant, started a new job and then found out I was pg and finally cracked on my wedding day of all days. This year will be much calmer for me (even with an 8 week old) and even if its not I feel even more geared up for this than I did last year.

Good luck to anyone else about to quit or who already has. I will be popping on here quite a lot I think.

charliecat · 04/01/2006 10:31

hello everyone Nice to see lots of new names. feel free just to come and type AAAARRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH If needbe, if only to stop you from going and stealing the posties fags from his pocket, sometimes its really busy here sometimes its as dead as a door knob.
I saw Tara wathersname on that cold turkey programme lasy night, totally in denial isnt she?

notasheep · 04/01/2006 11:26

Couldnt bring myself to watch it as really dislike her,but read the review-she did get off the cocaine though didnt she,and as they say money doesnt bring
you happiness.

Happy back to school everyone and no thankyou i dont smoke!

evansmummy · 04/01/2006 11:46

watched it too last night, couldn't believe what a tit she made of herself. but yeah, denial in the ery strongest sense of the term. but the sophie whatsit reminded me of myself, what with her addictive personality problem, and security blanket and last of the naughty things to give up etc. it's hard. i feel really lonely. how sad is that...

day 4. hate these lozenges, tho they are no doubt helping. but there's nothing satisfying about having a lozenge, unlike with a cig. i REALLY miss it. but hoping it'll go soon.

cc, i've been here 4 days and you still haven't said hello to me!

[stomps off for a lozenge]

charliecat · 04/01/2006 11:48

LOL, are you having to walk past a big gust of smoke on the way into school?
I must admit, I never smoked anywhere near school as although I look like your typical should be in her jim jams still mum I didnt want to look like a should be in her jimjams smoking at the back door mum LOL

charliecat · 04/01/2006 11:50

Oopss sorry, ive been trying NOT to names drop so as not to miss anyone out. Sorry EM...
What are you missing? The foul stench or the nice feeling of suffocation as the smoke hits your lungs?
Come on EM...you know your here because you WANYT TO STOP...not remember the one good one in a week
They are only precious when you cant have 1. When theres 20 there and they are all yours you wish you didnt have to do it...

kleist · 04/01/2006 14:45

hello em!!

Welcome to all the new names too.

I'm curious now, what was the programme last night you're all going on about?

I've had a bit of a full on stay with my mum. She took dd and I to the panto and to the sea and there was about 6 inches of snow everywhere so dd's snowman addiction was thoroughly satisfied BUT I'm so knackered. Now gearing up for dd to start at Big School a week on Friday ... gulp ...

Posey · 04/01/2006 16:05

It was a stopping smoking programme with Tara Palmer-Tompkinson and Sophie Anderton trying to quit.

notasheep · 04/01/2006 16:50

And as we all know TPT has too much money-and not much else

evansmummy · 04/01/2006 17:22
