i want to stop smoking but its the only time i really get to myself. i tell dp im going into room (spare room that baby is never in) for a fag and can he keep an eye on dd. if i go through to use pc dp always shouts me cos he cant cope but if im having a smoke then he doesnt.

Am I allowed on this thread? I'm an ex smoker, and I gave up on 1 Jan 2004, but I'm still chewing nicotinel, I'm on about 10 a day, more when I drink, and I just can't give up

TwoAngels · 18/05/2005 12:45

i'm from lancs MLL but have a load of scottish relatives through ex DP and my best buddy is scottish

I know we have to be honest but oh my word I actually feel guilty for having the cig yesterday and CC I completley understand where it can all slip from that one fag.

yep MLL are babies are very cute at this age I love the curiousity and cheeky ness at this age it makes me giggle

it's with sharps the bedroom designing. They are lovely rooms, but I know I shouldn't say it, but they are way to pricey IMO

I'm feeling quite ok at the mo stuffing my face with a tub of ben and jerrys yummmmmmmmy

MLL are u eating alot more at the mo??

Oh, rather than over-eating I'm downing lots of cold beer in the evening which anaesthetises me!

Haven't read this thread but have given up smoking - many many mnay times - am total expert

finally went to an Alan Carrs Easy Way clinic - 5 hours long.

it was the easiest way I had tried and it was about 3 ish months ago now and I have only really had 2 cravings. both when i was out and had had a few drinks

its a cliche, but it does work, so if you've fallen off the wagon think about it. Its 295 quid though - but worth it - for me that was about 2 months of fags only.

he has a website something like www.alancarrseasyway.com - that might not be right - google it. there is a clinic in Acton.

another good thing that i'm trying to think about MLL is thinking bk to all that money we have wasted over the years god i could of had about 10 cars by now it helps me get angry when thinking about that

do u feel as though u are getting a wee bit more used to it now MLL

hunny i just feel for u going cold turkey but it's fantastic u are I really do think u are so strong to do it this way

I'm a wee coward lol.... but will worry bout getting off the nicotine later just happy none off the other baaaad chemicles sp?? are in ma lungs now

hiya ive been ill so ive had two days without a fag. I had no intention of giving up but now i know i can go this long and not craving one i am going to carry on. I smoked around 15 a day when ever ds was asleep i would run to the garden and have two in a row to make up for it! Time to give up, i just don't want to over-eat in the process and get fat... so i am dieting as well.. see how it goes!

Keep going you lot!!!!!!!!
Seems although theres a few suffering theres no failers today so that is great.....MLL...cook the dinner and then go and sit somewhere by yourself for 5 mins....as a nonsmoker you have to remeber to take time out for yourself or you end up feeling like a pressure cooker just about to explode...I do anyway!
Star shaker...dont tell dp youve stopped and get a book tucked away in that spare room...you can continue to enjoy your 5 mins peace without the fag.
Moggy mummy well Done and 2A!!!!!!
Come and join and ramble xx

Eyeing up the dog end? Thats how my mum went from a nonsmoker to a back on the weed smoker toker...she picked up a dogend from outside a supermarket.
Felt like saying to her today, you know I wont be able to be nice to you when your in a hospital bed dying of cancer because I know youve made no attempt to stop this shit

charliecat · 18/05/2005 18:03
