I cried when I read how many failures theres been and applauded hub2dees approach as sometimes theres no point pussyfooting....come on guys! Its got to be done.
I am so so so gutted that theres been vile puffing going on...did you REALLY enjoy any of them. Truely satisfying were they? No No No! Tell you what though...waking up knowing that bastard nicotine monster has got no grip on me whatsoever is liberating. I could touch the sky with the high that im free. No chain round my neck.
Remember that just one is never just one and even if it was, why would you want JUST ONE? Your aim is to STOP FOREVER.

X post cc, mine took ages to type.

Glad we're in agreement though.

Tomorrow - even tonight if you like - you will be free from something which has been part of just about every waking hour of your life.

MML and 2A, How are you doing ?

Happy Bday MML !

hub2dee · 16/05/2005 09:00

erm... ladies.... don't pretend you haven't got up yet.

Post if you get cravings / feel insane (here or a new thread) so some people can maybe help 'type away' the urge...

I'm probably going to be out most of the day.

TwoAngels · 16/05/2005 09:03

morning H2D,

am fine hun part from my brains screaming at me, am sat here at 9:04 stuffing maoam sweeties in my mouth. Am off to see the nurse in a bit.

ohhh happy b'day MLL

how are u feeling MLL?

hub2dee · 16/05/2005 09:11

brain scream... yuck.

Sounds horrendous. Remember, it's only screaming for its fix, not for something you really shout want / love / need / like / encourage...

Go see your nurse.

And maybe find a bookshop this AM for that Carr book... it's called something like 'How to Stop Smoking' and it might not doing anything for you, but it might be v. helpful.

HANG IN THERE. BEGINNING OF A NEW YOU.

hub2dee · 16/05/2005 09:12

should

mummylonglegs · 16/05/2005 10:08

Hello 2A! Sorry I didn't mail yesterday, I was being 'spoilt mummy' on my big day. I had such a fantastic day actually that it's made me feel more determined today to quit than I'd expected.

I saved my last fag for this morning and then lit it the wrong way round! (Can't remember the last time I did that) so it want in the bin and that's it. I'm feeling pretty loopy, I've got brain itch and lung fever but hanging in and all this support is a real lifesaver.

How you doing 2A? What you up to? I'm at work (Mondays and Fridays only) which is easier for me as I have to go down 5 floors and outside to smoke in which time I can persuade myself not to! But I'm glad I managed the bus journey etc. here and just thought of dd's little excited face giving me my presents yesterday morning whenever I fancied a puff.

I've got to go off from 10.30ish - 1pm-ish to an appointment but will then be around on here on and off all afternoon. Update me!

charliecat · 16/05/2005 11:11

Go girls again! Was sure I posted encouragement at about 7.30 this morning but I must have been so half asleep i forgot to post it!
This is the best thing you could do for yourself and your kids..
\link{http://whyquit.com/whyquit/LinksDMeters.html\here are some quitcounters. They count how long youve been stopped, and the thought of having to reset them to 0 is quite often enough to stop you...

Keep it up all of you, I am 1 week away from quiting for 1 year...dh has now stopped also, no more smelly clothes, no more smelly house, no more smelly hair, keep going you can do it, just think how many more days, months, years you will have to live and enjoy life....you'll get your taste buds back, your fresh skin, less wrinkles, do I need to go on? You can do it...

mummylonglegs · 16/05/2005 12:08

I'm hanging in. Last real smoke was yesterday evening about 10.30pm. I've got a counter and counting that as my stopping time rather than this morning because it makes me feel more successful. It's not too bad sometimes so long as I don't start thinking about it, then it's horrible. Tomorrow will be tougher as it's just me and dd all day and i know I'll get frazzled by early afternoon.

2A???

mummylonglegs · 16/05/2005 12:38

Ok, half an hour ago I was hanging in. Now I'm just hanging ...

bump

charliecat · 16/05/2005 12:56

You will be absoultly fine, the worst thing that happens is "I want a fag" wont clear from your head for long enough for you to think straight. If you had a fag your nicotine levels would be back up to junkie level and you would be no further stopping smoking than you were 6 months ago.
Breathe deep and tell yourself this DOES go.
This is the evil drug you have been addicted to leaving your system, its desperate for you to refill...DO NOT!

Hermione1 · 16/05/2005 13:02

Don't do it!¬!!! your regret it believe me.

pupuce · 16/05/2005 13:14

Sorry to bump in.... Hermione.... have you had a chance to talk to your DH.... ? Thanks

Leaves tip toe tip toe

mummylonglegs · 16/05/2005 13:27

Nope, I haven't fed the nicotine beast. I don't even have anything on me to smoke and no smoking colleagues

almost40 · 16/05/2005 13:28

Don't do it!!!!!!!!! Do you have fags in the house? If so, get rid of them!!!
