Fag Free Few................New Fresh Thread

[charliebat]

Hello

SGIME-how is it going for you?-a week goes so quickly,but when you are in it and withdrawing from the Nicotine it seems yonks.
Everyday i would vow to give up then a week passes,a month,a year,dont keep putting it off.

CC-I was wandering around Waterstones today and my eyes caught site of The Allen Carr stop smoking book.I just had to have a peep.Good job i did too,it really dawned on me that i was way past the point of having to read his stuff anymore.
Another very smug moment

My mum, chain smoking wrinkly victim of fags, has a copy on her bookshelf. Wish she would read it.....sigh.

Any news on how Allen is?

Dunno...my mum said it buzzed round the morning telly programmes that he had died...then they had to apologise, that was at the start of the week.

Update on the meetup girls?

hi cc! IF is very lovely and didn't nag about the cigs! don't know if i should have gone or not though, i didn't dress up much, went on a whim really! everyone was very glam

I bet they were I saw on another thread someone said they had came back from the hairdressers and was just getting ready..I thought OMG, I never go to the hairdressers.
Ever and there they are going just before a night out lol!
IF SHOULD HAVE nagged..I would have, in a gentle way

SEA was lovely too. People were very glammed up. I never go to the hairdresser too, cc, except for a trim for dd occasionally as I make a pig's ear out of it.

Nearly 2 weeks free. I dont know how I have done it. Soooo bad at times, but getting better. Very tempted this weekend, but thanks to this have tried WhyQuit, although there is rather a lot to read, ees quite good innit.

Its very good. Ammunition for the cravings ive found...now...one little bit of advice...unless you want to go throught all that again...Dont have a fag! Your doing great!

loads of people were smoking at the meet up not if though!

No Really Thats quite sad. I always thought most were non smokers.
Its funny how long you can aviod this ongoing stopping smoking thread thought isnt it...SEA
Youve opened the door a little and poked your head in thouhg

i know (sigh) today was my mum's birthay she was the only one that used to nag me

Because she loved you enough too.
Youve dipped your little toe in the door here, how about setting a date?
If you stop in the next few weeks you can bound into next year saying "I stopped last year" and its a tremendous boost.
Once youve got past the first eveil bit its a battle of wills and to win you just have to steer clear of the fags. Do anything but.

There were a lot of smokers at the meet-up. They almost all said to me that they were 'social smokers' but in a slightly defensive way. I didn't nag anyone. I was tempted now and then to steal a puff from someone but not really that badly. Norash nagged SEA a bit didn't she? She quit 2 years ago, she said, after smoking 20-40 a day!!

My old boss was a socail smoker. She wouldnt smoke anything through the day but she would smoke 20 with a bottle of wine..every night

I just realised i have had only one rollie since about 1am on sat morning.

Not sure if i should carry on and give up or not. Kids and fella would be happy if i did.

Er, smoking is vile. It stinks and it looks rather ridiculus..why would anyone do it to enhance a night out?

Lou...perfect time to stop. Just dont have anymore

Do it lou33. If you've got through the first 24+ hours you might as well! Have you been considering it anyway?

i couldnt find my fags all weekend, and couldnt be bothered to go buy any, just had one rollie as i said

turns out my bloke had them in his jeans from friday, and had taken them home with him by mistake on sunday.

of course now i am thinking about it i want one lol

no i havent been considering it really, i'm just an odd smoker who can smoke loads when out then not bother much otherwise

i only smoke about 4 a day when i am not drinking anyway

Well I know that SEA and a few others would love to be in your 24 hours in postition.
By having a fag and continuing to smoke your not going to do yourself any favours.
And unless you plan to smoke till the day you drop dead im sure youve thought about stopping so...Ding , perfect

lol can i go have a fag and think about it?

You can, your choice!
