feel like crap girls, ds1 finally managed to cough in my face enough times and brought me down!! had to go to bed well early last night and probably will now as well but glad to see you're all good here!

did you get the bump thing in the end Drop? i felt sooooo stupid when i first came on but you quickly get the hang of it, esp in those first few months of mnet romance

night night all xxx

Hi everyone, Nothing interesting to tell you. Just wanted to say hi. Still going strong - a few passing cravings - in the evenings, but it is too cold to go outside, so I stay in and yes, more chocolates.

I think I got in end but still dont understand when there's bump "en masse"-ie loads of people typing bump-is that because they think no one else is doing it??
I am on my third nicotine free day(apart from a few lozenges per day when feeling stressed)-have been playing all my old rave cds and remembering the old days(when I use to smoke twice as much as I do now)-Oh,to be young and carefree again,she wails!!!

Morning Guys,

dropinthe- sounds like youre doing really well!! - keep going. First fag free day today, put all smoking equipment away last night, have had one (minging) lozenge this morning and at the moment i dont feel too bad - a little snappy maybe but not to bad. Trying to stay off the caffeine a bit - doing ok. How do you cope with being bored and wanting one - one area i am quite nervous about is when i get home from work and want one while i am ironing or watching tv wit my cuppa!!!!

Well done Prettyfly1 for starting today-coping with boredom-do something you wouldnt normally do-I'm about to clear through all my make up and get rid of the masses I dont wear.I too am not drinking half the tea I would normally-food consumption has gone up a bit(against my better judgement)Obvious one-drink more water-eat grapes-suck minging lozenges(I can now keep one in my mouth whole 1/2 hour but only have one when craving getting bad)
I think what we are really missing is that whole inhaling action thing with our mouths and what we think is that sigh of relief when instead we are just clogging up our airways and giving ourselves haedaches-I only used to really enjoy about three fags a day-the others I wouldnt because would be feeling guilty and so would only smoke 1/2 a one and why? why? why?
I only smoke ten a day so was wasting 7 of them in the ashtray.

Almost40-how long now??? (giving up that is-not until your 40!!!)
Any pearls of wisdom fow prettyfly1 and me???

Prettyfly1-how do you iron and smoke at the same time-thats sounds really clever!!!

Cor you lot can chat - i stay away for a couple of days and millions of messages are added!

Nice to see some new people joining us - good luck, it's tough but worth it. I have not smoked in 9 weeks - almost 10! Yipee!

I found mumsnet my saviour as i always craved when i put dd down for a nap, so instead of smoking i came on the pooter. Now i am addicted to mn - i don't get anyhouse work done then dh comes home and says "what have you been up to today" so i have to lie!

Dropinthe, you will soon start thinking that you dp/dh stinks. Mine had his haircut yesterday - someone at the barbars was smoking - he reeked when he came home. Yuk - how could i ever do it? (DONT ask me that when i have had 2 glasses of wine!)

Yes, I think I am replacing one addiction for another-must be on this bloody computer at least 3 hours a day(and thats at home)-my Dh says the same-thinks sites like these are for "saddos"-he's the saddo for still smoking,eh-still dont get that physical these days to smell too much(Me thinks that might be another thread!!!)
Saying that cravings got bad a few hours ago so did loads o housework-does anyone think they just run to keep still where housework is concerned-I'm never actually improving my house just keeping it from going under into oblivion???

ha ha - i love reading through you lots messages, so funny.

Smoking while ironing is not clever - just immensly unnatractive - cue lots of waynetta slob moments.

I am just trying to keep myself busy. Dreading tomorrow really as thats when i will have nothing to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know what you mean-my dh works Saturdays and it usually turns into one of those nothing days where you would normally smoke loads o fags!!So what can you do instead?(as dont know ages of your kids some suggestions could be n/a).....
1.Shopping
2.Cinema
3.Swimming
4.Clearing house of clutter perhaps with bootsale/charity shop in mind??

first baby due in eight weeks so limited on what i want to do at moment. I used to work out a lot and i really miss that. at moment am planning to try and study for theory test next week but concentration is shot and do some work on a table, maybe cooking or something will help. Heh heh.

well done girls!!!!!
so,so glad for you,keep it up,you can do it
i've been out all day and with my fag money i bought a beautiful jacket and some new cream that claims to act like botox for my crow feet,they're more like vulture feet actually,is really bad and i blame the smoking that and that i'm too bloody nice and smile a lot,lol
how are you now?

Message withdrawn

Hope not Coddy

What's the name of the cream - Whymummy? I'm a sucker for stuff like that

Good luck new quitters!!!!!!!!

I found that if I was craving madly then just coming on here and typing madly, or reading everyone's posts and thinking about everyone trying to do the same thing, made the cravings fade.

Am back on straight and narrow now & running again too, nearly half an hour without keeling over & dying

Me and dh just had a horrible time last w'end and him smoking right in front of me in kitchen(silk cut - my EX-fave brand) never helps. That is ALWAYS my downfall.

Anyway all's fine now, sucking lozzies like mad and STILL craving but can cope!

am away till sun night - good luck everyone xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ps MINK !! are you still fag free?

Oh and Coddy am I forgiven???????? You're scary when you're angry!

FG...you really need to get dhs smelly ass outside in the cold with his fags.
If hes smoking in the kitchen, to you, and your kids, its snaking its evil smell into every room meaning you as a recovering addict can barely forget the demon it is your trying to fight. Hes in the kitchen smiling with the demon you have the sense to be fighting. He knows how it is to be standing next to a smoker in a weak moment. He knows thats the reason hes still in there smoking. I know you can buy fags on every corner. I know you cant banish them, but in your own home...well it should be your haven, not your hell. And every time you balls up it dents your confidence a little bit more.
AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I am nearly gone, nearly away to my new hoose...Its funny, I feel more a sense of achievement at not smoking these past few days than getting a house packed up in 5 days!!!!!!
Hello even newer newbies. Shall we do a list of who and how long?
Ill start with me...next person copys and pastes me and them...then the next person adds themselves copys and pastes....
