If it makes you feel any better, I cry at anything.I blame it on not being able to cry at really terrible things at work, so any old rubbish sets me off outside - I think it's cathartic.

Got any further with whatever hideousness it is you're doing Wine ?

lubeybooby · 14/04/2013 19:32

Thanks! I want rid of the addiction totally now... used patches and e cig for the first 5 days or so but I have ditched those now too. So I guess I should expect the mental effects of that really.

I still think it's been easier than last time too. And I know I won't smoke again. If the other day (firing people, rude to client) and today (crying) hasn't made me give in then nothing will :o

I cry at Pixar flms and doctor who.

You ca give in. I've given up loads of times and each time it was harder. I'll have a sneaky puff o one of DDs roll ups or sneak a fag if I'm out drinking, but it's been 4 months now since I bought any properly smoked...

SPsYoniTheOneAndOnly · 14/04/2013 20:24

I nearly cried at The Transporter today when the woman shots her dad and then says 'he was a basterd but he was my father'

I will cry now as I'm watching Big Daddy. I cry when the little boy has to go and then when they are in the courtroom.

I've ordered pizza and chips. My body is craving grease!

48howdidthathappen · 14/04/2013 20:42

Scrazy Maybe you needed to see him one more time to finally lay it to rest.

Well done Lubey You are free

SP Enjoy your Grease

I don't cry much since the menopause. Yay!

WarmFuzzyFun · 14/04/2013 21:04

Cried three times today. Very similar to my twin up thread and for similar reasons I suspect too.

I am feeling better, just in time for work.

TweedWasSoLastYear · 14/04/2013 21:12

I cry every time I watch the James Blunt video to " Carry you home "
Dont know why as I don't know any soldiers , but its like a reflex action.

I think it can be cathartic and almost uplifting as well.

Scrazy · 14/04/2013 21:32

Hmm, not sure I will going on a date with the new guy after all as I haven't heard anything. Now it looks like I'm back to square one with men as I really carn't face OD again. Oh well what will be will be.

KinNora · 14/04/2013 21:33

I'd cry if I had to watch a James Blunt video too, possibly not for the same reasons though Tweed

Yay twinny WFF ! Very, very rarely cry in work, sometimes have to do a 'fast blink' and turn away but for someone quite so emotionally incontinent I do quite well.

I'm thinking about sending a saucy text to Showbiz, for god's sake someone talk me out of it.

Snapespeare · 14/04/2013 21:36

Text showbiz NOW

Sorry, I think that isn't quite what you wanted...

Flipper924 · 14/04/2013 21:50

I'm with Snape, Nora. Text now.

I'm like the twins when it comes to crying. I'd never looked at as being related to work, but that makes a lot of sense.

Pom and SP, your Saturday nights sound good, hope you got your KFC in the end.

Hello to everyone else!

KinNora · 14/04/2013 21:58

Hahahahaha, I think he's napping, the poor old fella.

Phew.

KirstyWirsty · 14/04/2013 22:01

Nora just text him (snape is always right)

Juliette shame about the date .. Next !!

lubey you still rock .. There are just days when you get the blues .. And the giving up probably exacerbates it

Signed up for POF .. Got a message from the first guy I went on an OD date with .. He was nice but no spark .. He asked me out again but said no

Got a date with a 44 year old sales director on Thursday .. He didn't ask for my email or phone no and will message me through the site on Wednesday .. Different anyway instead of instantly wanting to exchange numbers

KirstyWirsty · 14/04/2013 22:01

flipper what's happening with you?

Flipper924 · 14/04/2013 22:30

Hi, Kirsty, not much happening here. Was chatting to a nice looking guy on OKC yesterday, but only really dabbling until I feel up to relaunching myself.

Hope you had a great holiday, in spite of injuries and washing, it must have been nice to see the sun again!

48howdidthathappen · 15/04/2013 08:16

OWW So when is your next date with one of your engineers?

SPsYoniTheOneAndOnly · 15/04/2013 08:44

Flipper No KFC but GoodLooking said he would have brought me one but didn't want to ask for my address incase I thought he was some nutter. Be was lucky as if he did Id have married him right there and then

Feel better this morning! Must have been the grease last night. Just having a pizza breakfast with the toddler

lubeybooby · 15/04/2013 08:45

Thanks everyone

I feel MUCH better again today. Must finally have all the nicotine gone vanished and vanquished and vamooshed! I knew there was a reason sticking with it through the last dying gasp of nicotine was worth it(and not giving in to nicotine replacement) The reason is today - really properly being free of it! No addiction, No withdrawal. AMAZING!

I must add, that even when RAGING and about to fire people, and even when sobbing out of nowhere, at no point was I unhappy about my choice or wanting to go back to it. Oh no.

I still have all that energy... soooooooo much energy! I also have actual spare time now too now god knows how much time isn't taken up with smoking.

My (really fucking annoying) smokers cough is completely gone... amazing after only a week.

I have saved over £100 (good job too because I still haven't paid my rent... fuuuuuuuucks saaaake)

Happy happy meeeeeeee

JulietteMontague · 15/04/2013 10:48

Lubey congratulations, you've done it!

Kirsty are you able to walk around ok with your toe? It sounds really painful

I'm still talking to nice man in Dutchland, we're going to Skype at some point so I can see what he really looks like.

Hello again thread. Have come up for air (did get up occasionally during the weekend ) and now have empty house as DC at school and I have done today's marking.

Managed to have the meeting of Mr Nice and XH this morning which was slightly amusing (XH bringing DC back here before school and Mr Nice was still here). XH was his usual smiling charismatic self which it just took me a long time to see through....

Very quiet here today!

Juliette - thank you I have indeed. All still fine feeling very good no hint of withdrawal at all.

I have re-started my diet today too. I will not be fat OR a smoker.

Taking some time out of dating, looking after myself, and the general confidence and well being it induced brought me the lovely BC last time, so I hope my new efforts have the same effect (or better!) :o

Yep you heard it here first folks. This is lubes officially on the sofa with another grand self improvement and fulfillment confidence growing/nurturing plan. I suppose I am now dating myself as I originally planned to when BC moved!

Jesus christ I'm gonna need a lot of batteries.

Scrazy · 15/04/2013 14:08

Hi, Lubey time out isn't necessarily a bad thing. I like having a bit of me time and forgetting about men for a while.

Spoke too soon last night and am still in touch with new guy. I am determined to go out on this date.

lubeybooby · 15/04/2013 15:52

No it's def not a bad thing. I took six months out before and the result was those fantastic RL dates with BC :o

I have got a few friends to sponsor me to stay quit AND get the weight off

I am soooo gonna do this! The challenge is ON! :o
