mll, don't give yourself a hard time - it's not your fault, although we tend to blame ourselves for every bad thing. Hope she's all better now.

The fish finger years is in parenting sections in bookshops or on amazon, it's a collection of tips & anecdotes on child rearing & family life, many from m'netters including motherinf (thanks for kind comment mother inf! get off to france now, would ya!)

Well done everyone thought i would pop my head in and say that. keep up the good work. Am so of you all!!!

I am fine, hows are you coping kama?
FIONA..ignore me and my questions why dontcha???!!!
Got to dash but wave to all!

Oh am sorry cc!!! I didn't read that bit of the thread for someone reason or maybe I did but it flew out my brain as the kids were yelling at me. Or something. No, don't have a pp account. Could you CAT me your new address & will send one xxx

& well done kama, stick in there, it WILL be worth it to have a fag free summer...

ps mll I used the non member & media request section cos you're not meant to ask for quotes for publication etc on the 'normal threads.

Ill cat you my new address and stick the money in the post ok?

In fact ill email you now lol

cc don't you dare send me any blimmin' money! I didn't twig why you wanted my address... you've been massively supportive on the fag front so please consider it a gift!

Neh Neh cant stop me..I thought it would be better direct than via money grabbing book shops etc

Hi - nothing to say. I'm still off the death sticks. It's been at least 3 months - I can't remember the last day. Just thought I'd say hi.

By the way, I love the thread name.

Hello! And well Done! How you finding it?

Hello, can I lurk a bit?
I have just about made it through day 4 - this is sooooooo hard!
I can just about survive the cravings, its the feeling of utter misery, that nothing will ever be enjoyable without a cigarette, that I am struggling with - please, someone tell me it passes! And this dizzyness...!!!
Still, have cut down to one meal a day (starts when I open my eyes, finishes when I fall asleep )

well done hanginginthere keep it up youll be SO GLAD you did
i was on this thread but am faailing at the mo -youll have so much more energy in a wek or 2 youll feel like a new you -better skin -more money-
sure youll start feeling better soon WELL DONE ! KEEP IT UP !!

Hiya, I am now fag free fgor over 7 months, a combination of posting here and reading whyquit.com till my brain knew every scenario possible has kept me off them. Good Luck ! No time but back tonight xxx

Well done to Hanginginthere and Kama-this is the week from hell and you are slowly getting through it-at least you both know you are on the same time-you will both feel so much better soon-you will be able to breathe easier and guilt free and life WILL be so much more enjoyable without the fags. YOU DON'T NEED THEM-REALLY REALLY REALLY!
BID s for you both for being so strong!!
Need any advice?

Yes! How do I stop myself feeling so miserable about it?
I know its the right thing to do, I chose to do it, I wanted to do it
And now I feel I am grieving FGS and that I will never be happy again!
My husband can't understand why I am so fed up

I went through exactly the same thing-its shameful,isn't it but you feel like crying alot of the time in the early days as if you are losing your best friend. Its time to try and cut off from the emotional side of smoking and concentrate on the bare facts-try writing down the worst top five facts you know about smoking,(WhyQuit.com will fill you in),and keep that with you at all times-then make it personal and list the five reasons why you want to stop-these ten facts should make you think twice each time you are feeling bereaved of your pleasure!
All of us quitters will tell you that it will get better within a few weeks-read the beginnings of this thread when mummylonglegs first started and FEEL her pain-now read how she is feeling now and just rely on us for help. I stopped on National No Smoking day this year,8th March and around the same time found Mumsnet-it was invaluable to moan,groan and let out the crap I was feeling and it helped a great deal .
Keep going!

Hi, would like to join you cos have been fag free for 7 weeks. Am so happy and proud and am bit of a no smoking bore TBH! Tried to read the whole thread but there is just too many and Easties has started...so I don't know if I'm repeating something but has anyone read Allen Carr? He is fantastic and makes so much sense. Really feel I understand the whole smoking thing for the first time in 15 years smoking 20 a day.

Thanks!
Can I ask an embarrassing question pls!!!?
Is it normal to be constipated?

Hi 2Girls - yes, I read it and am using it to stop (nothing else blooming well worked!) and I felt v positive at first though 5 days on, feel a bit down now, might need a re-read
7 weeks? Gawd! Thats excellent!

hullooo, my non-smoking friends. It's my birthday and my last day as a smoker.

going to live8 tomorrow, without fags, and looking forward to it.

hope you're all doing ok. i'l be on here soon whingeing away as i was before. bet you can't wait...

ps, fgib got your first book for my birthday!! looking forward immensely to reading it

constipation, yeah it hink and night sweats and irritability and a whole range of nasty side effects designed to make you think that by going back to smoking you will feel normal again......GET PAST THAT BIT and you feel FANTASTIC!
Hello Newbies!
So of you going to Live8...im off to Alton Towers and Fionas gone to france me thinks!
