Be gone foul fag - quitters thread part 2

[imaginaryfriend]

Hi guys ... join me over here?

Where IS everyone???

I'm feeling ratty that I still feel ratty. That 3 min. craving business is so bogus. I've been craving non-stop since I left the library with dd and walked home and still am now. That's at least an hour. I feel back at square one. And weakening ...

i am now nicotine free.

thank you very much

CC!!! WHERE are yooouuuuu???!!

Jeez, why was today so bad? Well, truth is, in places not so bad in the sense that probably 10 craving episodes today which must be less than the last few days. But some of them were mighty powerful ... Are those really now just psychological? I can't find any info anywhere which tells me exactly what's happening day-by-day. It would help massively if I could.

here youa re imaginary friend you moanin old trout facts

Oy! Less of the trout stuff if you please.

I'll take a look now, ta.

hmmmm ... not a bad link, could do with 10 more ...

Sorry i have been reading a book for most of the day, inbetween bike riding and cooking............so Custy how you getting on?
Feeling ok? Does your dh smoke?
Is your dp still smoking IF?
Have you stopped rattling yet? Can you unclench your teeth and relax at all?

i am doing fine. my tongue is sore at the moment - it may be unrelated i dunno.

my dh smokes. but i seem to have been very lucky in just deciding when

i knew it was looming the quitting day. becuase we are going to buy ah ouse and can't afford it.

together with

i wasn't realy enjoying it 99 % of the time
no one else in the world smokes anymore
i am the only sad fuck in the wind and rain
i sit at another table at mn meet ups becuase no one else smokes.

together with when stopping i started my period next day which was fortunate no hormonal crying which eats away at my resolve.

dh is away on conference for two days - which is fortunate beucase its very hard in an evening.

we love each other but we argue loads ( its the way we are) an i havn't got the stamina to ignore him - i literaly want to punch him in the face - so this conference was handy!

last time i did it i did it for three weeks it was a nightmare

the time before it was a year. then i just had THE year from hell - 2003 - 2004 OMG worst year of my life.

this time i really mean it - i KNOW in MAX 6 months i will have to give up anyway.

the thing that is helping me this time is

48 hours.

done it - i am no longer an addict.

48 hours!

well 51hours 22 mins for me.

i was a drug addict. sounds very melodramatic.

Custy if you look down the left hand side of why quit.com, theres a FREE QUIT COUNTERS...they count every millisecond away from the fags you are. Well bloody done, and Rickman..........wooooooooooooohooooooooo. I think next friday will be better it because paddy mentioned going camping this thursday...unless you fancy shacking up in a tent with us overnight???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its a big one, Hannah will be there with her kids too...we have 2 tents, 1 with 3 pods and one 4 man.

my mouth hurts like fuck.
i havent slept one wink - not one fecking wink all night. not one.

not een bothered by not having fag, just want to feel tired.

shagged today up n all then. have to take dd to dentist at 2 in east grinsted wherever the fuck that is. becuase shes too soft to get her tooth pulled and has to be put uner - more days off work.

and shes at a sleepover at the mo. and she left her phone in my car - and i told her to meet me at hove station - but i wont be there becuase i will be sleeping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! with any luck.

and i am very hot too.

charlie cat seriously now - whats going on with me - i have no nicotine - what else is oozing its way out

Your mouth hurts because you have been chewing other things instead of smoking?...or its the nerves coming back to life and it will settle down, food and drink sometimes tastes a bit bizarre as well.
No sleep is just frigging torture, see if you can get your head down for an hour but make sure youve got a bloody good alarm clock.
East Grinstead is about 40 mins from me in Tunbridge Wells
Hope your dds ok.
You know you need to get off th fgas so just go wityh it no mateer how awful it is, you are doing marvellously, honestly. All this subsides into a distant memorie and you cant belive you ever smoked.
free quit meters

The mouth thing might be unrelated? What does it feel like?

Insomnia is meant to happen though in first few days, no?

Custy, why did you quit your other quits, I mean what made you go back to smoking? I'm trying to remember all my previous failures so I know what to look out for. I think the 2-3 week mark is a weak point for lots of people because you're over the worst bit of the battle and relax your guard. Or something.

Anyhow I'm feeling pleased because this morning is the first one I haven't felt like eating the wall with fag-needing frustration!

And well done rickman!! I remember you from some previous quit threads. This is the winning quit for you isn't it?

Glad your feeling better IF You do need to keep a heatlhy Naughty Fag attitude with you forever or you would slip into, ahhh Just One wont hurt, but it was Just One that got you hooked in the first place.

My biggest incentive not to go back is my responsibility to dd. After that it's the dread of having to go through quitting again!

Off out now. Hope you feel better Custy.

How's everyone doing today then?

Whatever happened to notasheep??

No idea Whats you been doing today? Ive been bargain hunting at a far away charity shop, got a lovely next jacket for a pound, a velvet one for a pound...and my hilarious but of the day which was a pair of new boots, ones a size 5 and ones a size 6 Hmm, that makes the coats 1.50 each but never mind LOL

Oops cc, re.the boots! Can you pad out the toe of the bigger one? or cut the toes off the smaller one?

I took dd to Canary Wharf museum with my 'secret smoker' mate who is also my greatest temptation. I was asking her how she managed to smoke 10-a-day 'secretly' and was amazed that she said she smoked 3 in the hour in the morning before her dp and dd wake up . That's worse than my morning addiction. Anyhow, the amazing thing is that she's planning on quitting this weekend so I've passed on Allan Carr and I really hope she makes it because she's my closest mate and it WILL be hard if she still smokes and I don't. She smokes secretly, by the way, since her father died of lung cancer 2 years ago . Her family came down on her massively when he died and instead of quitting she just went under cover.

And as for me, another day done. Phew ... I'm finding today that there's less cravings but the ones that are there are still pretty strong. And I've got that classic 'where are you faggy my old friend' nostalgia for all things nicotine ...

My mums going to see if her feet can be crammed into them LOL..
It gets easier if you dont have any fags ever. It really does.
I hope your friend gets AC in her head.

Yes, me too, cc. I'll help her all the way. We chatted about it lots today. She did quit when pregnant although not completely I don't think. But apart from that she's smoked steadily since she was 16. She's 30 next year and doesn't want to smoke beyond that age.

I actually get put off the thought of taking a puff on a fag at the moment because I know it will taste really horrible and make me feel very shitty. And such a pathetic set-back ...

well did you see that>?

that would be day 3 just gone plus 3 hours.

DH gave up at 1pm today

we will see - he works with builders and if they offered him a shit butty and said " ahh go on" he would. backbone of a ermmmm......backboneless creature.

heres a laugh for ya. my head seems a bit fuzzy - but i know this is normal from previous times.

got in bath with bra on - didn't even notice for ages.

Dp said he would stop at 30 IF, he got to 32 and realised that he still had the same intention but 2 years had passed But hes done it now so alls good
Custy Yep, know thats fuzzybrain feeling well. I went out in odd coloured flip flops the other day, ones brown and ones red Oh what a sight!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And that was without withdrawal!

46 mins ago there went day 4. this is now officially a pieve of piss. dh's first day today. he did well. he didn't smoke. he is now asleep.

Hurray for you and dp, custy!

Check this: I met a mate today for a coffee. he brought fags as we usually have a smoke together. I told him I'd quit but didn't mind if he smoked. The first one he had I drooled a bit, but then I'm vaguely aware he smoked another two and I barely noticed. DOES THIS MEAN I'M CURED???
