It's really nice isn't it? I have had some real, genuine, caring advice from lots of Mumsnetters and have only been on here a few weeks, they hardly know me!!

cheers! will have to watch the alcohol intake though as on SW diet! Am sure I could manage a couple though just to keep the rest of you company, of course!

Secur you did done good! I started smoking when I was 13 and I know exactly how hard it is to give up. Keep up the good work now!

Secur, where we lived, I was regarded as a late starter in the smoking stakes, so can well believe you started when you were nine!

I stopped when I got pregnant with DS1 in November 1998 and did stay off them until New Year's Eve 2001, but then lapsed and only stopped again last year when I got pregnant with DS3. Am determined to keep off them this time though, especially as I have a heart condition so it would be a pretty stupid thing to do...

Well done, secur, I think it's fabulous!

well done dinosaur. I am what one calls an occasional smoker! (sounds very posh doesn't it?) I really enjoy a ciggie when I go out drinking. If I don't go out I don't have any. Can go without for months if I don't go out and don't miss it either. Even when I have a couple of glasses of wine at home I don't feel the need to have a cigarette. Always have to have some on me when I am lucky enough to get a night out though. Silly ain't it? Guess it's a bit like a bloke who doesn't smoke all year round and then has a cigar for christmas.

Well done!

Well done Secur. Very impressed. Bit sad that your family are being unsupportive. My sis is pregnant and BIL has stopped smoking and I know he is finding it hard (tends to fiddle with one of DD's rattles at family events!) but I am so pleased that he has done it for my neice/nephew. Glad your DDs are helping you.

Wow! Well done, Secur.

I remember what my dh went through when he gave up 4 years ago so am really pleased for you.

sparkler1 · 01/12/2004 21:55

How's it going Secur?

warmmum · 01/12/2004 22:04

WELL DONE, WELL DONE, WELL DONE, WELL DONE, WELL DONE, WELL DONE, WELL DONE

It is so worth doing, just stick with it. Even now I have quit for 5+ years I still have the odd wierd evening where I would kill for a fag - but I promise you it is very rare.

jamiesam · 01/12/2004 22:10

Well done!
I gave up over 5 years ago now. For a long time I never dare have a cigarette in case I went straight back in to habit, but honestly never think about it now (and try not to be rabid anti-smoker when someone blowing smoke in my face!)
Good luck. Keep on taking it one day at a time - and look forward to those special cuddles!

AeroBaublesAndChoccyDecoration · 01/12/2004 22:14

Fantastic - well done! We all care - honest we do - that's brilliant secur - well done again. - Aero

Turkiegirl · 01/12/2004 22:23
