Fag Free for 2005....Join us..We are doing GREAT!!!!!!!!!

[charliecat]

Hello girls....

Yes,we are-Whymummy will be proud!!

I stopped yesterday afternoon and I had one this afternoon- crap I know but a reduction of about 30 so better than nothing-still trying, doing more cleaning and exercise, it's helping still scared, not sure what of

Somebody on this thread said that if you get scared just think-ok i can always go and buy some tommorrow but lets just see what happens today! Take it one day at a time-the first three days are crap but just keep going with being busy-go for a walk-its a lovely day!!

Actually I keep a few in the garden shed, that way I don't seem to get quite so desperate thinking I haven't got access to fags - it's more of a choice not to bother to go and get one.

I've done a whole week and two and a half days!!! I think I'm finding it easier this time, because until about April last year I had been off fags for 3 years. Then stupidly I started glamourising smoking again, thinking I'd really like one if only I smoked. then bingo, I did.

those 'just ones' are real buggers aren't they? i had my 'one' last summer and lo and behold, the erratic puffing became more regular as time went on.

sorry i haven't been around but my sis just left for thailand to visit our parents so we were busy getting her ready to go! sadly my supposed last one on sunday night wasn't my last one but i did go out and get allen. they didn't have any normal ones so i got one he's written esp for women. i won't be around till after the weekend as we're off to visit PILs so good luck everyone, one hour at a time . incidentally, i shall not be smoking from tomorrow morning due to trip and am aiming to make it last till i get back!

trinity, you are doing the best thing for you and your baby by being here and trying, so more power to you! are you scared of the giving up or the impending birth? i just read in allen that a lot of us think that we are stronger with a ciggie and it makes us feel more secure and confident about ourselves in some way...is this the case for you? you shouldn't feel scared, you are doing the bravest thing by giving up so well done!

fg, miss you here loads. am i going to have to take up running and join your thread just to chat?

Prettyfly-how are you today??Still keeping busy??

miss you too mink! Hope your sis has a fantastic time. What you planning for your b'day? you did say it was big 3-0 didn't you?

yeah, but i'm being overshadowed by ds2 who is 1 on the same day!! probably a family get together with double sized cake i imagine. all my friends are scattered around the british isles not to mention some around the world now so no chance of getting bladdered !

am off to brum tomorrow so will speak to you all after the weekend, hope you all have a lovely easter break xxx

Good morning all fresh breathe ladies! Just thought I'd let you know that have passed my two week mark unscathed and still alive. My goal for the day is to get a new Mnetter to decide to give up-dont know how but will keep posting on here so it stays in everyones eyesight and hopefuly might prompt someone to give it a go!
Will you help me??

I'm not doing so well, I've had 3 in the same space that I would have had about 40 so it's something, I'm still trying

What made you decide to have the three that you had?(going psychological on you to determine stress factors!!)

I lost two of my little girls b'day pressies and I was already having trouble with the whole thing because I am fighting my shopaholicism problem and in my eyes I hadn't bought her enough (I know that's silly) so it totally stressed me out when I couldn't find two of the four things that I had bought her!! It was three over a period of 1 and 1/2 days. I fought with myself about each one but the sensible me always lost

I have an ongoing shopaholic thing going on-have always done it to make myself feel better but its like chocolate/drugs-the rush doesnt last long and you feel worse after!! I dont spend copius amounts as we just havent got it but have been silly in the past!!
So,to get back to fags,can understand why you had them-stress!!

I think having the odd fag when you're trying to quit creates more stress, because you end up feeling so down on yourself. Poor trinity - am sure you can do it, the ciggie doesn't really do anything to alleviate stress at all - but I can sympathise as have crumbled & chuffed a quick silk cut billions of times.

No fags since saturday tho - am being spurred on by a male pal who was a 50 a day smoker and quit 3 days a ago. My dh still fagging away.

have a good easter w'end everyone - will be out & about with kids a lot so maybe no time to post....

Enjoy yourself Fgib!! No chuffing eh,?

hi guys - sorry been away, problems with baby - sorted now though hopefully. Well done drop - two weeks is wicked. I am doing ok - bout the same as trinity. Gonna have to read this allen carr thing - why is he so good? also has anyone tried hypnotherapy????

Allen Carr is good-very movivational-nd youre alowed to smoke whilst reading it!! I didnt use it this time and didnt work for me before but I didnt have the kids then.Hypnotherapy didnt work for me either-I think I came out and had a fag!

me too - I came straight out of hypnotherapists place, crossed the road and bought fags, lit one up, about 15 years ago.

What are we like,eh?

I REALLY WANT A FAG-URGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHH!
All because of my ffffffffffffffing husband-he is the grinch,i swear,all rolled up with Victor Meldrew!!!

be strong dropinthe... be strong... deep breaths, having a ciggie won't make him less meldrewish... and you'll be so peed off with yourself.

Am doing okay, def hooked on the niccy lozzies but haven't puffed since last sat night. Feel good. dh still puffing madly. My heavy smoking mate still cig free, and if he can do it...

have a lovely w'end everyone xxxx and no chuffin' (we know how cross Coddy gets and don't want to rile her)

cod please get cross with me I'm having trouble completely stopping
I've had about five a day for the last three days, I can't seem to make the break sorry I know I'm being crap, it used to be about 30 a day so some improvement and I have started to cough up crap so my body is noticing oh blah blah, just kidding myself that it's good I need to STOP

Well,managed not to on Friday and was at work allday yesterday so doin ok! Trinity-try and make the break-25 less fags a day is fantastic but even five a day does alot of damage-I was only on between 7 and 10 daily for the last 15 years although you binge smoke when out drinking of course and I would always buy two hundred at the beginning of my girly hols abroad in my twenties and they would be gone by the beginning of the 2nd week!!
I think we think that we are going to miss smoking a geat deal and you do but all you are remembering is the few "nice" fags a day after food,with a drink,when the kids have gone to sleep. We are forgetting all the other hundreds of guilty,nasty,smelly and vile fags we dont enjoy. Try and keep those ones in you head,eh??

trinityrocks: "please get cross with me"

I was given a hard time (I think) before. Sometimes straight-talking is what's needed.

That's a massive cut-back, TR. If you've been a heavy smoker (30 a day), 5 a day is a big improvement, and as you've felt, is already having an effect.

I'll allow everyone else to get cross with you.

Me: I only do now.
