desperate fag quitter! Anyone similar, fancy mutual support group?!

[fionagib]

To my shame it's about my 167th attempt to quit fags... anyone out there trying the same who would like to start a support thingie here where we can rant and vent our frustrations and praise each other? I'm starting tomorrow...

Dp found it!!!!!!!!!! Down the side of the bedside cabinet already growing cobwebs! Am feeling much better now....relaxed sigh..

i'm telling you guys, the ONLY way to sustain those 3 hrs without thinking is to have babies
i often forget during the day when i'm tied up; it's moments like these when the kids are sleeping that the cravings are at their worst!

Keep thinking about names, i haven't even ordered the bottles and stuff yet, so probably will be a while before i launch myself as a seller on ebay.

Glad to found your oil cc!!! was beginning to worry about you!

i know what you mean about piles of clothes...i'm great washing them just putting them away is the nightmare. i've currently got 3 big ikea bags worth lurking around the house waiting for putting away

good job your friend's popping round fg, hopefully that'll help dh a bit. and of course you, but you're doing so well anyway!

got a friend coming later so have to go and tidy up despite cleaning the entire house yesterday. ds1 has crumbled his biscuits all over the carpet and i can't see them but they're itching my bum when i sit on the floor!!! (carpets are cream coloured hence disappearance of crumbs and endless cleaning )

oh and i'm probably about 9/10 but moments where it drops to 2. did you guys see kelly holmes last night? i was in tears!!!

yeah mm I saw her and felt quite teary - am feeling bit emotional over lots of stuff esp olympics (?!) which is not like me but obviously am not quite normal at the mo...

hurrah for the oils cc!

what do you guys think of the fragrant pharmacy (it's the book i use to conjure up the magic potions)?

Very Good! Have you looked into if there would be any profit in it?
I am struggling today...

cc maybe it's cos of the 'herbal' thingie you had, bit of baccy in it - it'll go away by tomorrow am sure, I always get a mini set back after any kind of smoking activity... slather on some oils & you'll be fine...

are you back at work next week? Will that be easier or tougher?

I love the sound of the fragrant pharmacy - you wouldn't run into any copywright probs would you mm? am about to take kids on mini bike ride (in attempt to get them to settle earlier tonight!), will rack brains on the way...

just spoke to dh, he sounds hellish, a weird croak instead of a real voice - am assuming he hasn't had a fag then (didn't dare ask - clearly it's a taboo subject!!)
xx

i checked out registered companies and none exist with that name. where would i need to check for the book's copyright fg?

i reckon that if i sell them at £ 4.99 each, creams, bath oils or massage oils, then i would make a rough profit of £ 2.50- £ 3 depending on whether i sell well or not!

like fg said cc, you've been a rock for us, so try to summon whatever strength it was you find for us two and summon it for yourself!!! You've done 2 weeks can you believe it? put it down to one of the crappier days and remember that it WILL pass, like it did for all of us whenever the evil weed tried to resurface !

ds1 is now tugging at me to watch bob the builder so have to go to that website now!!

Shit, my brain has been arguing with itself all day and I mean like all day, think it was definetly the herbal fags fault, well mine for having it actually, but you know what I mean.
Its 6.30 now, I have got this far...I will be ok...or i might have another one later
Could you change the spelling slightly regarding the copyright? Isnt that what everyone does?!
Look up on mn about ebay selling for the first time there is some good advice...cant concentrate...dashing off xx

YOU CAN DO IT CC!!!

Thank you mm..cheer me on
I might go to bed

do you two think £ 4.99 is too steep a price? I was thinking of buy it now option since this sort of stuff isn't technically worth much to make or do you think i should do bidding as well?

sorry, fg, probably more directed at cc but your advice is valued too

how was your ride? dh is thinking of getting a bike to increase his energy levels and a chair for ds1. ds1 will probably be able to ride his own bike by the time dh sorts it out

I have no idea, the best way to get an idea is to watch other sellers items, see if they are selling for £4.99, you can add things to your watch list to see if they sell or at what price they sell at I had a box of 600 party bag bracelets ,selling them in lots of 10, first week they sold like hotcakes, one lot finally sold yesterday after being there for 9 days and 21 hours....ebays a funny place.
Thinking of going out myself on a bike ride.

did you get out on your bike cc, bet it would have helped with evil cravings... you can do it, having another herbal will prob keep that teeny hint of nicotine in your bloodstream and make it hard for you all over again tomorrow. Sorry to sound preachy, really don't mean to! I'm the one who cracked big time and had that whole packet and nearly made myself vomit a week ago, after all. The day after was a teeny bit like stopping all over again.

How are our other quitters getting on?!

was lovely getting out this eve, kids have settled better too (or is that just the playstaion ban?!)

am still nervous of cracking on friday night, isn't that silly - also sat night may be risky as I suspect me and dh will have major p*ss-up as boys are away on sleepover and dd goes to bed v early! Will need to have lots of nice food & snacks to hand - loads of olives, pungent cheese & pickled guerkins (niiice breath! come to think of it there's been v little kissing lately - pickle overload or just our simmering bad moods?)

mm should think you're fine re using book title - there's no copyright on titles, imagine it would only be a prob if there was a spin off range of products. Did think (when I was having my massage... yum yum, all cravings erased... for a short while at least)of a couple of other ideas:
healing hands
bliss aromatherapy
the fragrant garden

not as good as your idea tho I don't think.

wouldn't all this quitting business be easier if someone was on hand to massage us ALL THE TIME?
gonna go to bed soon, dh getting massaged now, hope it perks him up...
night night xxx

LOL fg at perking your dh up!!! It WOULD be nice to have someone massage us everyday...sadly their name is DH and they are not doing their jobs properly! Thanks for all the ideas! I'm pretty certain there aren't any spin-off products but will double check to be certain. this is all sounding like proper business...the reason i'm thinking so hard is that i'd like to go into this and do a proper course someday and perhaps sell the products properly. i guess ebay is just a tester. the first 2 ideas are already taken, but i'm not sure about the last one. will check.

About fri & sat night - apart from being a lucky sod and having your dh all to yourself for TWO evenings, you WILL get through it! Get absolutely sozzled and then after you both enjoy the entertainments that only being p*ssed with your partner can bring ;), conk out till Sunday. Do you guys watch DVDs together or just chat on fridays? if you chat the whole evening...Wow! i don't think dh and i can talk that long anymore!! Keep the love alive fg

How are you cc, thanks for the selling advice. you still sound like you're in that bad place, are you feeling any better? have an early night and tomorrow will be a fresh start. hopefully the nicotine and all his evil toxin friends will have left your system by then!

Having an early night myself girls, so see you tomorrow - probably won't be till late as have friends and their children coming round. wish me luck as their kids tend to demolish things all too easily!

i think i have decided upon 'Fragrant Farmacia' (spanish/italian) as it seems to have a ring to it and isn't the same title as the book - just in case!

Love that name mm - it sounds perfect. Has lovely ring to it, flows off the tongue!

Thanks for encouraging words. Yeah we do chat a lot but equally getting piddled is part of our life together, at weekends anyway.

Massage had a weird reverse effect. At 11.45 I suddenly felt v mad & angry at washing up, dh says, are you okay, and I shout, yeah, I'm fine, just clearing up at a quarter to bloody twelve!! He then goes into shutdown mode, storms off & won't talk - same this a.m, said he couldn't quit, was going to get fags on way to work.

This always happens. We have (v minor) tiff triggered by me and he crumbles and starts smoking again so I feel I've driven him back to fags. I just can't be smiley nicey all the time, I really can't.

So he's chuffing away right now probably, and I'm to blame!

Hope you're having much better day today cc, did you have a herbal last night?! xxx

I did, I did, and fell fast asleep so I couldnt think about it anymore, just up this morning feeling good and I dont care if a joint rolls itself and lights itself for me....not on your nelly. Back to my normal self thank god. Felt consumed by it yesterday.
Did you see MN will be down tonight for a few hours after 6 pm? Well im off out today, not sure where, taking my mum out and itll be somewhere dusty and boring i bet and no idea when we will be back, but I will battle on here....can believe how shitty I was yesterday.
Fragrant Farmacia is lovely, are you going to try and change you ebay name to that?
Must dash time ticking and in the nude....

Dds hospital appointment is through, day I go back to Nursery:( I rang my mum and asked if she would take her, she said yes, very good I thought, then she said, ooohhhhh I can tell him about dds rash bla bla bla, and I thought oh god. My mum will rant about this that and the other and leave none the wiser aboiut dds chest.
The secetary made a point of saying the doc had look time out of his annual leave and was very keen to see her and im thinking right thats lovely, what are they not telling me......because noones said anything.

are you gonna go on appt. yourself cc so you get the full picture? Bugger it's on your first day back at work!! could doc change time so you could still go to work or is that impossible?

dh not speaking to me type

My name is fionagib and I am a non smoker!

Im not even going to ask as Day 1 is the day that all the new little ones arrive for thier first day....popping out now, Has dh been smoking then or is he just working himself up into a frenzy so he can??
My name is charliecat and I too am a nonsmoker...altogether now

We are doing so well!!!!!
Just thought I'd put that in here.

dh has emialed to say sorry for awful mood and to tell me that he put his pants on inside out and back to front this morning, and that he is going out for a fag.

MY NAME IS FG AND I AM A NON SMOKER!

just pouring out thoughts here girls, stole time this a.m. before starting work to go for a run way out into the country, and really enjoyed it - apart from seeing squashed fox - have to keep telling myself it's fags or running, fags or running, fags or running...

there is no choice really - feel great & strong & in control or lowly and crap and ashamed.

Fags are a bloody drug and I them!

fags or running, fags or running...

speak tonight girls, have friends round for drinks tonight (supposed to be a writing group, though more drink & chat really) xxx

fags or running... slather on oils... slather on running... oops!

MM where are you? You havent got on a bong and disapeered have you?!
Did your dh really go out for a fag?
I havent had any, I did have to tuck my hands in my knickers when once again I was left alone with the baccy...now that is like me and the demon face to face, head to head and so far ive won:)Have a nice night tonight, MNs down so I dont know what Ill be doing, see you later:)

Hi, no i didn't disappear into my bong thank you very much :) had those friends round today so was all tied up. then dh disconnected the pc because his xbox live wasn't working.

i'm afraid i will have to postpone chat till tomorrow as i have just had a v. hot shower and you know when your body goes to jelly as a result of too much muscle relaxation from heat? well that's me now and i have lost the ability ot type. this has taken me far too long going back and deleting my bad typing!!!

glad you two are well and glad dh apologised fg!!

p.s. NO-ONE likes washing up at 23.45

Still surviving here too:) Glad you are ok MM, had one of those baths earlier.
You have a customer for your oils, 3 bottles for my mum, so I will be your first customer ok????
She wants them for Xmas Pressies, so no rush!
