And Ive got to go to work in an hour's time!!!

dropinthe · 03/07/2005 00:58

Have been back from work nearly 2 hours-where are my faithful friends??

dropinthe · 03/07/2005 01:01

I am now drunk-upset by L8 and the injustice of the world-I'm now going to say that we were slowly killing ourselves because of our misjudged pleasures and yet millions of children would give anything to have our lives-just fucking give up now for the sake of sanity!

I'm sorry-have just sobbed my heart out by seeing the images of starved children-everyone of those could have been my boy's and I have never felt such pain.I'm hurting so badly.

Excellent MLL, I didnt slink off...yeah you see people disapeering and think well why shouldnt I then?
Its gets to a point where you think I can smoke and be back to square 1 or get over this moment and not look back.
Need in my pocket internet access to keep you clean

dropinthe · 06/07/2005 17:56

I'm glad you see it like that and its not a permanent thing! Remember how you were doing this for your daughter more than yourself?-keep going-didn't someone start quitting a few days ago? I think,as you say though,you have only made a little slip up so I think you should regard yourself as a long term stopper still!

evansmummy · 06/07/2005 19:28

I'm so sorry, mll, that I slinked off. I felt embarrassed and unworthy of being here whilst smoking.

I've completely lost the quitting vibe, too. But I have re-stopped since Saturday. That'll be 4 days without fags. But the thing is that I just don't feel that I want to stop. Even though I know I should/do really want to, the realy motivating 'YEAH, I'M A NON-SMOKER' feeling is just not there at all.

I smoked for a week, about 5 a day, nowhere near as much as I smoked before. And even after having stopped since Live8 (which was a disappointment, btw), I don't really have any huge cravings, just sort of bored, I want to smoke, feelings. Does that make any sense?

I'm sorry we've not been here for you, but I will try to do better . In any case, if you don't carry on stopping, I won't either We can do it, mll. I think...
