havent smoked since dinner
its not too bad as i havent a big 'habit' or withdrawals and ive been smoking roll ups instead of fags so im def not gonna smoke the packet !
anyway back to shameless..

Feeli like ive been gpone forever...what about 13 hours or something...lol hows you all?

Good thanks, where've you been?

Two weeks today, woohoo!!!

Last few days haven't been too bad. And the sun's out, so it's all good!

Nowhere just too bust to be on the pc Glad things are looking up!

busy not bust lol

day 6 - i haven't felt as sick today - small amounts of dizzyness and no bad headaches. however this isn' as good as it seems becuase i feel ok it would be easier to have a fag - as i cant smoke with a hangover anyway and the hangover like symptoms really did help as cursed as they were at the time. does that make sense?

today i have eaten two butties one with corned bef and one with tomato - for lunch, for second lunch i had a meat& potato pie....but in my defence that was only becuase my husband bought it for me as a treat. then for tea i had vegi chow mein yum yum with some left over chips ...whichin my defence don't count as they were left overs.

good things...... fell ike its been a good day overall so far. the kids found an old packet of fags in dh's posh jacket just just as he was absolutley desperate for one. so i ripped them up then doused them with water so he couldnt get on of the ends out of the bin ... or me either. then my 15 year old started to sulk becuase he said he could have had them.

funny things
anyone else found they are more erm...frisky? i phoned my dh at work and said "what time dya finish cos i fancy a bit" he said " pick me up in 5 minutes!" then just as other men say to the person they love and make love to "honey i bought you a ring" or " honey i bought you flowers" mine said ..."got you a meat & potato pie" ....!!aww he loves me.

good thing.....forgot to add a "bad thing" in the post below which is quite indicative of how i am feeling

bad thing......feel food guilty and i do realise this isn't my own personal weblog and i feel guilty about that too. so a big thank you for putting up with my inane stupid borning rantings - but it is cathartic

No no no...ramble away...we are reading and if it helps then go ahead...do whatever it takes...
...could be right with the frisky thing...your 15 year old doesnt smoke does he? GGRRRRRRRRRR

lol custardo at your romantic gift!
doesnt your 15 year old realise that he shd give you unconditional love and support?

nooo custardo keep posting, im in tears after your last para. colleagues are well trained now "oh she's on that mummy thing again"

Surviving well everyone I hope

okay sorry for just gatecrashing in like this

need some advice from the ones who have given up for a bit

i have given up for 2 weeks and 3 days, havent even taken one single puff, however...

...the urge is there, but it passes...but..

next saturday we are going to a party
this is the first time i will be out with a drink in my hand and no fag...without even trying cos i know i will hate it, i am thinking of taking a pack of 10 with me incase i need the urge (which i will)..i wont smoke after that night

anyone else tried it this way or did you just grin and bear it and go fagless?

i wish i could be one of those people who can drink when out with mates (dont go out often) and then be a non smoker the rest of the time

actually i wish i never ever ever smoked then i wouldnt know what it was like to 'crave'

sometimes i feel like i have lost a lover and feel sad that i said farewell to my fags

bubbly, GO FAGLESS!!!!!

I think everyone will agree with me! Don't undo all that hard work you've already done. Even just one puff'll mean you'll be back to square one. And the party situation'll come up at another time, better to get it over and done with now!

Btw, we gave up almost exactly the same time, i'm on two weeks and two days. Horay for us! Don't do the pacl of 10, you'll regret it!!!

evansmummy, thanks!! will not buy any, then i cant smoke any...will be extremely hard though!

how are you finding it now...i find im fine most of the time, sometimes i get the urge but it does pass, i notice that im not thinking of a fag straight after my food...about half hour later i think 'oh look, i didnt think of a fag'

nice to see i have a fagless partner

Go to whyquit.com, have a read, it will explain the lost friend etc..
...Dont take 10 fags with you, you have stopped smoking for a reason, you are intelligent enough to realise it is doing you no favours and you would be better off without the fags.
You are doign really well, somepeople dont even get 5 mins into a quit before failing, dont plan to fail in advance well done!

isthis any good folks havent got time to read ATM

just dropping in to say am back on fag free straight and narrow again. Even tho I can smell dh's ciggie filtering into my wee workroom as I type.

Congrats to all the new quitters! cc - sorry have been so absent lately, you have special mention in new book to say thanks for your massive stop-ciggie support last year xxxxx am waiting for box of books & will send you a copy, cat me if I forget!! have also mentioned mink, is she around do you know?

I guess I should have registered here after all..tried and failed as usual..

well first day back at work today and it wasn't too bad - team meeting tomorrrow ..that will be worse my boss is a tawt.

good thing.......resisted temptation when somone asked me to go out on a fag break.

bad thing........ its been a bit of a bad tempered house but then thats cos my dh is a tawt. well he was today anyway.

started my diet again today and i did well - have eaten all the stuff my diet says i can - and believe me i ate it all.

my tongue hurts - stings, and i am expecting to be ill in the next month as my lungs expell crap. the last time i gave up smoking it was for a year. i was so ill with serious chest infection then i got laryngitus and throat infection nd flu - i didnt move off the settee for 3 weeks, it really was horrible. ihope its not like that again.
not been sleeping well either - which i know can be a side effect. i woke up this morning and vividly remembered a dream where i was ava braun and i was being shot at in the street by germans and the bullets were like in slow motion matrix stylee and i was frantically trying to dodge them. thats the reason i never studied phychology - incase i found out i am f*cked up

custardo, your dreams are urm...strange!! i been having mad dreams lately, keep thinking im pregnant, or am trying to do a test but people that i dont even think about in RL keep walking into my bedroom and i cant find out if the test is positve!

charliecat, its that link you sent that made me help to give up, i think hunkermunker sent it earlier on....i guess i will just have to read it again before i go out for the night

i amm quite proud of myself, but havent been in any situations really...

custardo, good luck tomorrow, i dont know if i could be strong to try to give up when others around me are smoking, so you are doing really really well...keep it up hun

and i shall apply that bit of advice to my goodself for a weeksaturday!

Good luck today custardo! Try to remind yourself that you've made a great decision by stopping, and that your coleagues are still in the grips of the terrible weed...

Well done too for dieting at the same time!! I can't even be bothered to restrict two things at the same time! One problem at a time, I say!

bubbly, yeah I'm mostly ok, the only time it really does bother me is after meals! EVERY single meal now I dread cos I know afterwards I'm gonna get an urge. But the evenings are better, as are ds's nap times (used to be my ciggie breaks). Otherwise, yeah, I was sleeping badly too, but last night only woke once which has gotta be the first time since before I was pregnant (over a year ago!), but I've got a horrible cold, which completely sucks.

Where's mll?

lemonice, nothing's stopping you from trying again, with us for company this time
