I AM A NON SMOKER. I INTEND TO STAY THAT WAY!!!

[minkmama]

Hi girls,

I know it's a little 'in yer face' but i felt we needed a huge reminder everytime we posted each other!

Fresh start for Monday then!!

can't resist posting, hope you're still talking to me folks

Yes FG we still love you! Cant think of a thing to say than OMG

have just read and replied fg, freaked out when i read cc ask me if i'd read it and couldn't find your mail on yahoo and thought you weren't using gmail! thought something AWFUL had happened!!

off to watch a film, HI EVERYONE! posted your oil off this afternoon cc, hope it gets there tomorrow!

Can snell it in the post already Thank You!

Sorry, work and running club (!) have got in the way of catching up.

Looks like lozenges don't suck ! Well done !

Thanks for posting your reasons, it really helps me to have some idea of what to say when it's going a**e-up for you.

When you're feeling at your most vulnerable, do you (global you) have a plan to cope ? I know the oils seem to be good - some of the time.

When I was trying to lose weight, yep had to do that too, I used to paint my nails so I couldn't eat crisps in the evening. If you can all find a personal sidetrack thing it might help, find something long & pointy to suck ? I'll get me coat...

I've noticed recently that our local health centre is offering a (free!) 1 to 1 help clinic for people wanting to quit, and there's a similar ad posted by the local council (I think) in the school that I work in (I'm sure that should be 'in the school in which I work' but I'm keeping out of the spelling/grammar thread !)

FG don't laugh, but I used to carry the outer plastic bit of a Bic biro around just for something to do with my fingers/chew on..

Posey, I've set myself a target of running London by the time I'm 40. I'm a similar age to you, well ok, I'm only 35 for another 3 weeks but I've decided to apply every year from now until I get in, and if I've not made it through the ballot by 2007, I'll apply for a charity place in 2008.

just finished I, Robot what a good film. am knackered now so will see you all tomorrow!

Your questions and my answers actually made me think twink. i think it's important to have someone remind you what you are doing it for as someone said earlier (prob you!) that it's when you forget that it all goes to pot!

night night all xx

did you guys see the disgusting anti-smoking ad last night?

I didnt...I did root througha bag of rubbish this morning for a dogend though
Lozenge in and am going to force myself to read A.C again.
Flounce off to mallet myself..

CHARLIECATTHENONSMOKER!!!!!

Just found myself rifling through the bin and finding fags i had drowned in water. was so desperate that i actually tried to dry it over the stove!! realised how idiotic i was being and for what?!! just cos the kids are asleep and i have time to myself, i had a craving. so instead, i threw it back in the bin and stuck a lozenge in my mouth muttering 'this is so sad, this is so sad...' AND IT IS!

let this sorry tale be a message to all of us and imagine me if you will, digging into dirty rubbish only to extract a manky cigarette for NO GOOD REASON!!!!

2 dirty filthy rubbish diggers today then Silly us! At least you refrained. I got a clean fag paper and justified me scraping beans off the dog end. And smoked it.
Doing ok now though

Ah MM, see what you mean about the label, could you not stick that one at the front of the bottle, saying Anger Remedy or Stress Reliever or whatever and then on the wee white label at the back of the bottle put the ingredients?
Thanks BTW. Will be nice to dowse myself tommorow morning.
Have you got your sellers account set up yet?

Sounds like dog ends need putting into a beaker of Milton or bleach ;)

I used to put washing-up liquid over my daughter's leftovers when I was trying to lose weight cos even I couldn't eat Fairy-soaked fish fingers..

Looking forard to waking up to my oils MM thank you, sure you ll be on here about midnight as usual when all the rest of us are tucked in bed.xxx

hi, sorry to surprise you actually this is again a quick one as i'm dvding with dh. how was the rest of your day after the dog-end incident cc?! it's so crap isn't it? i was okay after mine, got it together (for now) and didn't feel quite as desperate as i did before.

i have in the past considered dousing the fags with oil so that i REALLY couldn't get back on them.

i have set up my seller's account just not taken a photo of the damn stuff. about the labels, i'm going to order some plain ones without any writing for the ingredients so that it matches the front. that anger oil is potent isn't it? i got it all over my fingers when i was preparing it for you and it stayed on for ages!!

hope you are all okay out there!!

The oil is fantastic. I was ok but have one upstairs just to say goodbye. Shoot me i know but need to say bye today not tommorow.
My mum said "youll never give up smoking......something or other and I just thought Wanna bet...so on a mission from tommorow onwards.
Gotta kick it havent we?

why is everyone so quiet lately....is this the secret puffing time?!

No!!!!!!!! Slept in this morning and didnt have time to log on and been at nursery all morning. I said bye to my fag and hello to my lozenge and am doing fine. How are you?

Back and still clean going to drop FG a mail right now.xx

OMG doing the dishes I came across the nearly empty but enough for 5 fags pouch of baccy that I smoked from last night. Have put it outside and am hyperventilating, fighting against the urge that says its got your name all over it. HEEELLLPPPP.

Got through it its outside still but its not mine and I shant smoke it.

Hope it's still outside, fill the pouch with bleach & bin it, it HAS NOT got your name on unless you've changed your name to Drum or Old Holborn.

DO NOT MAKE EXCUSES

PS Anyone who leaves tobacco within your reach will have to suffer it being made unsmokable, your health is too important to be risked by someonelse's laziness (or sabotage)

Thanks Twink I didnt drown it just didnt open the back door again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was FINE and then all of a sudden I had this bloody arguement going on in my head it was well nasty.

Bloody well done, it's nearly 5 hours ago since you posted about it so if you're managing to just argue in your head, no matter how vicious it might be, that's great.

oh poor cc! i pulled up this page and all i could see was charliecatthenonsmoker, charliecatthenonsmoker, etc. and thought 'oh no! she's been ranting on her own again poor lass!!'

hope you are feeling better, those panic moments are the worst. you become some kind of manic demon whose blinkered brain can only smell and taste tobacco! it's horrid i know but WELL DONE. i think the trick is to shove the lozenge in as soon as you have a thought otherwise you go down the slippery slope of debate and we all know where that usually leads!

twink is right, the only way out of these kind of situations is to DROWN THE DAMN THINGS.

Honestly, I'm not trying to be smug, I still remember how awful it was but you know as well as I do that you don't want to keep reliving your first few days over & over again.

How are you going to work out a way to deal with your dodgiest moments ?

Mine were garages & paper shops so I became reliant on Channel 4 news & bought my petrol at Tescos cos I could out my card into the pump so not need to go into the kiosk and face the display (was very heavy mileage driver !).

Obviously having stuff in your house is really tough for you. I don't know anything about your life other than your dp smokes but is he not willing to make ANY compromises, even for your health and maybe lock stuff in his car/van/briefcase/sportsbag so it's out of your face ?
