Charlie had moved hadnt she? Whymummy I think was away for a week from last week-both are situs that you would normally love a fag!!!
You are very brave to do two things at once at this tendet time!! I had a bad day yesterday but having a very good one today(only cause baby asleep for the last 2 hours and managed to get loads of housework done-there is nothing that pleases me more(except an after dinner fag!!!)than being able to get my house in to some kind of order which its not normally!!

Read tender time!Bloody PMT inhibits ability to spell!!

I figured i might as well get my life back on track all in one hit. I haven't smoked (except 2) for 12 weeks, so feel that is under control - plus i would like another baby soonish. I had problems last time with high blood pressure so woul dlike to be fitter and healthier ready for the next one. That's the plan any way!

dropinthe · 01/04/2005 20:53

Is any body out there-calling all ex-chuffers!!!

mammya · 01/04/2005 23:43

I have given up yet again, haven't had one since wednesday evening. It's not too bad, cravings are not so terrible, however tomorrow am going to a birtdhay party and there'll be smokers, that's when' I'll need strength!
By the way we need a new thread, this one is soooo long!

whymummy · 03/04/2005 19:28

hi everyone
i failed miserably the first night i went out my two months of suffering and hard work went out of the window,you don't know how bad and how ashamed i feel,totally useless.
i'm so sorry, but i will try again and i will come back

dropinthe · 03/04/2005 21:08

Never mind whymummy-just nice to have you back-have you had a good time apart from that??
Shall I start a new thread on this but always keep this one in mind once fallen off band wagon???

prettyfly1 · 03/04/2005 23:21

hi guys. not the only one to have fallen off then. I have been in hospital (read the thread "help" under lone parents) stressed, exhausted, hurting lonely and smoking. I am going to take the advise of one of the other guys and set another date to quit to break the stop-start-stop-start cycle. I hope you guys are doing well though. Hub 2 dee, honesty and straight talking are great, i was just concerned about someone who already sounded a little low. Whatever works for everyone is great and if you can help them go for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dropinthe · 04/04/2005 10:20

Prettyfly1- Sorry you are having a bad time-I havent read your other thread yet but can tell from your last post that things are crap for you right now! Dont worry about smoking right now-if it helps you get through then so be it-as you say,set a date to give up for good.

fee77 · 04/04/2005 12:11

Oh no it is all going terribly wrong.
Please don't anyone beat themselves up about smoking - we have all been there. Just set yourself a new date, get all psyched up and go for it.
Whymummy - come back! You can still talk to us even if you are puffing away
Where is Charliecat? She would have some really sensible advice and quotes - just looked back - she said it would take a month to get settled etc so she should be back in a week or so.

fee77 · 04/04/2005 12:15

Prettyfly, i just read your thread - i had no idea you were alone. Where abouts are you? Maybe one of us is near and can help out?

dropinthe · 04/04/2005 18:17

Are you ok Prettyfly1?

prettyfly1 · 04/04/2005 23:51

Hi guys,

I am ok, based in herts. still feel stressed but a little better about the baby so hopefully over the next week or so can get ready to think about not smoking again!!! hope you guys are ok

fee77 · 05/04/2005 12:05

How many weeks are you prettyfly? I am in essex, so could pop round the m25 to see you if you need some help?

fee77 · 05/04/2005 21:34

Where is everyone? I am gagging for a fag tonight. I am feeling really fed up.

whymummy · 05/04/2005 21:37

whymummy · 05/04/2005 21:42

are you ok fee?
prettyfly,sorry you're having a tough time and i hope everything is ok soon,i'm going to give up on monday if you fancy we'll start together.
hi dropinthe

dropinthe · 06/04/2005 13:05

Hi Why!! Four weeks today-gone so fast and has been relatively easy-still on the lozenges though which I want to stop! Did you have a good time in Spain??

whymummy · 06/04/2005 14:02

spain was great,had a brilliant time,days were spent from park to park with the children and nights from pub to pub with my friends the weather wasn't too good but it didn't matter.
so glad you're still off the fags,i'm just waiting for the children to go back to school on monday so i can start again

almost40 · 06/04/2005 14:11
