yes MLL with the gum i'm supposed to take between 8 and 12 a day for 30 days and then cut down to the lower strengh version and try and only have 2 to 5 a dday lol...

I know what u mean about those feelings of dying young MLL I used to think that alot too....

now I'm thinking stupid things like what if I have already got cancer caused by smoking and I just don't know about it... stupid I know but I do wish I could ask the docter for a full screen just so I know...

hi twoangels and mummylonglegs,i'm doing ok,i've chewed all my finger nails and if it wasn't for my fat belly getting in the way i could chew my toe ones as well,i've chosen the wrong week as i've got pmt but i'm trying really hard
how are you?

TwoAngels · 23/05/2005 17:08

yes but Mll my love we know really we shudn't even think that

If I found out I did have cancer (sry to be morbid all ) I still would try my best to stay a non smoker as I wouldn't want dd's knowing that I carried on even when I had it IYSWIM

But can totally understand why an ex smoker would start again

in fact theres a story on whyquit about a lady at one of the blokes quitting groups who had cancer will try later to find the link to it if CC doesn't beat me to it...

it's is so mad wouldn't u agree MLL these crazy thought we think about teh he

Must go to work in a min Grrrr will proberbly go through a daily supply of gum

charliecat · 23/05/2005 20:06

evansmummy · 23/05/2005 21:18

Well done to all of you who have become non-smokers!! I've been off reading Allen Carr, and am now preparing for the ritual of the final cigarette. It will probably be tomorrow morning with a cup of tea. A bit apprehensive, but praying that it'll work this time. For my baby, it has to. Any coping techniques most welcome

hello everyone

I haven't had a chance to catch up but i hoppe you are all doing much better today. Mll I see it is is almost a week now - how are you feeling? stronger? better I hope.

Someone asked about getting a cold. I immediately got a cold when I gave up. Your immune system does suffer (the bacteria in your mouth changes apparently) anyway - I feel much better today but am still bunged up

The weekend went fairly ok. It could have been much worse. Mind you now that I am siting here with a glass of plonk ... no stop it you silly gal

Yep, mll, i've said ir before!! But don't mind saying it again! Been smoking for 13 years, ciggies and rollies, between 10 and 20 a day. Gave up a year ago when I found out i xas pregnant, then started again about a month ago. But before it gets really ut of hand i've decided to stop!! Had my last one this morning, and actually feel good about saying it's my last! Here's hoping that feeling lasts! I'll probably be on here lots... Good to know there are others going through it at the same time!! We can do it

whymummy · 24/05/2005 10:51

hi everyone
i'm not doing well at all,i'm sitting here in floods of tears,i was a bitch to everyone last night,had a row at school this morning and i just can't do it,maybe it was a really bad idea to give up with pmt,sorry(again)

MoggyMummy · 24/05/2005 11:06

Whymummy

Hang in there. Don't worry about the PMT thing - stick with it - it will be over very soon. The PMT is only going to last a few days and you will feel better at the end of it.

Don't worry about being norrible to people - I was shouting left right and centre for the first three days - I really was tranformed into a monster (poor family) and I wasn't even pre-mentrual.

Any chance you can have a kip for an hour or two?
