Mll, thanks for asking! I've just got back from my 'fags don't exist while I'm asleep' nap, so that's another hour of the day gone with out smoking lol Doing ok, I guess. Still thinking a lot about smoking but using AC's technique: "yippee I'm a non-smoker", and thinking of my baby, Evan (who's only 5 months btw). Keep thinking too of one of the stories on whyquit.com of the lady who died soon after giving birth and whose child will never know her. I couldn't bear that to happen to Evan, so am determined to do my very best. Good luck with this afternoon, and I'm sure we'll caétch up later! This evening is gonna be worse; i always had a smoke after the baby was in bed...

thanks MLL,i will be back

How's it going? Anyone?

Im here just going and getting pissed but a big Hello

Have a good one!

I had exactly the same smoking times! I guess we time things around naps!! This evening hasn't been as bad as I thought it wowuld be. But same as you, I'm not looking forward to the morning. I always appreciated that first cigarette + cup of tea thing. Still, if I do manage, that'll be my first fag free 24 hours! You've been going over a week now? Has it got easier?

Evan is my first, yes. Love him!!

I've not been to bad with the old cravings today. Maybe it'll be worse tomorrow!! Or maybe it's just cos I'd not smoked for a while then only just started a few weeks ago. Don't know, but if things stay like this, should be easier than all the other attempts!

And congratulations on your first week!!

Morning! Its sadistic that aching in your lungs isnt it? You rthrying your damndest to save them and they seem to be asking for a smoke....probably all in the head? Dunno but nasty all the same!

Really pleased for you MLL.

Hope 2A is OK.

Oh god NO but I do remember it being like a kick in the teeth.

Im sure you would have started if not stuck to it, once the ideas in your head and it starts niggling at you you cant ignore it for long

hiya all MLL awww thanks for ur concern but am fine just have to do lots at the moment to keep me busy and the puter is one of my weak places for wanting to light up

I was bad again yesterday the gum that I was using was starting to give me heart burn so have now swapped it to try the nictinell fruit flavor and OMG it's lovely

will catch up on the convo in a wee while but I can see u are still grinding through MLL whiuch is FABBBBBulous!!!

to all others who have just quit this week keep it going u know u can and still again congrats on ur desion

It's the realisation that even one fag is not an option, really. And you have basically had to have 'failed' before to learn that as I imagine you don't really believe it otherwise...

Has dp cut down / stopped, mll ?

If the putah is bad, YOU STAY AWAY

... if you can !!!!

LOL, you'll swap one addiction for another !!!

OH NO!!!! {shock] congratulations MLL!!! On making the first week I know I know a touch to late but still YeeeeeeY

teh he h2d

how r u??

my DP is totally off them now bless him and he doesn't even know I have had me odd blips

Just dandy, thank you. Was actually enquiring after mll's dp, but glad yours is doing well. Don't hide yer blips, maybe he can help / distract etc. ?

Yeah, dont let time fool you into thinking one fag will be any less addictive in a week or an hour or anything. Before I really really really quit...ie 7/8/9 months ago i would be fine with the fags but spend days smoking joints trying to kid myself as it had weed in it it wasnt a fag...oh yes it was...or it may well have been, it still woke up my nicotine monster and made me go back on the fags 1 or 5 days later.
I have had to quit the joints as well as the fags. No loss really I suppose. Just a choice that has had to be made if I want to do this.
You know 6 months on....I still have to make the effort, or the concious decision not to smoke. Not as a constant screaming in my ear, but you have to remind yourself that you are not going to smoke regardless or what shit lands on your head today. If you/I didnt then you/I would no doubt trip up and fall face first into the ashtray.
