hi midden sounds like you've been doing a heck of a lot better than us lot anyway - at least me, I've cracked loads of times, just had a fag actually, cc has the odd herbal, mm has had the odd puff because her dh bought some and forced her to smoke them...

thanks for kind comments re writing stuff... esp as it was prob written during severe withdrawal...

fg you will get back on track well done on the race btw!

HiddenSpirit · 05/09/2004 22:58

I'm here

Will still be joining you all tomorrow, but will be doing something very strange - stopping half way through the day This is because I still have a pack here and I cannot justify binning them

FG, I think MM meant I wouldn't join you all after reading the minor set backs (can't remember any threads I've done) but on the whole you have been doing really well!

Not sure if the zyban is giving me weird effects but I do think my blood pressure may be slightly low or I'm aneamic as I keep getting dizzy if I stand up too quick. Have got to see nurse every 2 weeks anyway so that she can check BP while taking zyban and got first appointment on Tues, so we'll soon find out.

CC, new pictures aren't showing for me Hope your foot is better now.

I think you should name it fg as a)you're the writer b)you started this mess Have finally smoked that last fag, ready for a fresh start tomorrow! I'm going to look at the last month as a kind of test run. have you had a nice relaxing bath to ease those muscles?

Hi there HS, glad to know we didn't scare you off! Whaddya mean you're only doing half a day?!!! BIN THEM, BIN THEM, BIN THEM Arggh, don't listen to me, i've fetched mine out of the pongy bin on more than one occasion Good luck with your new start tomorrow, in fact good luck to all of us.

Night night everyone, will check in asap tomorrow and will hunt you and your new thread down FG...

My name is minkmama and i am really a non-smoker.

okay girls, for a new clean lunged feeling, if it's all right with you, am gonna start a new thread tonight (as am out at beach I hope all day tomorrow), it'll be v obv when you see it...

hidden-s - it sounds like you're a bit iron low - have had this many times - have you tried taking that iron tonic stuff, a very murky looking bit nice tasting liquid from chemists & health shops -what is the ruddy stuff called? Floradix. Does make a big difference after about a week.

good night girls am gonna start new thread now...

But I'm so chuffed I want to tell everyone how well I'm doing toruble is mum and dad have never known that I smoked. How sad?? Twenty something, married, 2 kids and still afraid of mum and dad!!!!!
