Hi gang, join me here. And anybody else keen to join us in kicking the evil weed.

I'm doing fine. But definitely in a 'weak' period. Fancying a smoke left, right and centre but so far resisting.

Everyone else?

Dangerous territory Just dont. Know, 100%, that the last thing you need is a fag. The only thing it will give you is grief and stress, and will feel like a kick in the bollocks.
Your standing at the top of a beautiful hill right now, you dont wanna fall right back down and start again from the bottom.
And who knows how long it would take to muster the strenght again.

imaginaryfriend · 25/09/2006 12:22

cc, umm ... I'm a lady ... I don't have bollocks ...

No, I know. I've been here so shockingly many times before. And no, I really couldn't face the process again.

Where's the baa-lamb lately?

It does.

imaginaryfriend · 27/09/2006 13:46

hello everyone. 6 weeks on Friday for me! And I'm looking forward to the 2 month mark, feels like a nice milestone.

You seem very positive about this quit now notasheep. Is that right?

Custy! What's happened to you?

SEA?

OP posts:
notasheep · 27/09/2006 14:01

Ifriend-yes,feel very positive but still have quite a few weak moments.Well done you on nearly 6 weeks
Just e mailed girlfriend in London so will have a date when i am up soon

charliecat · 27/09/2006 18:18

You can have as many weak moments and wobbles and blatant temper tantrums As long as you dont smoke who cares

imaginaryfriend · 27/09/2006 21:45

It'll be great to meet you nota.

What's the best thing to replace a fag with? I mean that faggy moment. What else works? I'm suffering a bit of loss.

BUT I am VERY VERY VERY glad that I'm nearly 6 weeks clear. I can't believe it in fact. And especially that it's really only 2 or 3 times a day now that I think about smoking and even then it's not that bad really. Are you still thinking about it nota?

OP posts:
notasheep · 27/09/2006 21:57

The trick is not to replace it with anything when you have a have a fag moment
non smokers dont have to do anything.

Yes,still think about it like you two or three times a day but REMEMBER one day you will get into bed and suddenly think,OMG i havent thought about fags today

Plan A is to come up end of November/beginning of December

charliecat · 28/09/2006 07:08

That loss feeling Does go btw. it does.

notasheep · 28/09/2006 08:14

dps mate has just called round,he cant afford to smoke tailor mades any more,so hes turned up with a tobacco tin.
I have just sat at the kitchen table and instructed him on how to roll the perfect roll up-not to tight ,not too thin!!!!!!! and rolled it for him.I had a fag in my hand and NO TEMPTATION at all
He couldnt believe that i am off the fags-another very smug moment for me

imaginaryfriend · 28/09/2006 18:07

That's incredibly impressive, notasheep! I'm not totally sure that I'd have resisted so well in that situation this week! I've been feeling quite run-down and the urge to smoke has been high. BUT I've resisted and it is 6 weeks tomorrow!!

YAY!!!

Dd's birthday in a week-and-a-bit. Do you remember that thread you started once, cc, about keeping kids off school on their birthdays? And you nearly had your head chopped off for mentioning such blasphemy to the educational system? I'm so tempted to keep dd at home but as she's only there a couple of hours in the morning I'll probably send her in and then do all the presents later.

OP posts:
notasheep · 29/09/2006 08:02

iFRIEND-Well Done you on 6 weeks today and 3 weeks for me
We have a birthday here too-ds is 2 tomorrow,i am so excited that its his special day and i will be fagless

imaginaryfriend · 29/09/2006 11:21

I feel good about a fagless birthday too. Smoking is like a guilty secret in the background of everything isn't it?

Are you having a little party for ds or is he a bit young? This year for dd (4) is the first time she's really been that bothered about a party. She's very shy socially so it's going to be a little one but it's quite exciting!

Happy birthday to ds for tomorrow.
