Professor White and the line dancing surfers eat cold turkey

[serialtester]

Welcome to the surfboard!

Fingerless gloves! Lord knows what sleeveless gloves are

Great plan lost!

I have a selection of ra ra skirts and neon deely boppers if you'd like a borrow?!

Te hee, thanks guys. Feel a bit better for talking that through a bit
Now off for the old faithful bath and my lovely bed.

Sending positive vibes out to all fellow surfers

Get into the groove lost!

Hey snowball how's it going my lovely?

snowball talk to us when you can, no judgement here.

witty Hope you're feeling a bit better today?

Wishing everybody a good morning. Hope you all have a good day.

Sorry I didn't post last night. I spent hours looking for my phone. It had ran out on battery so I couldn't find it by ringing from house phone.

If it wasn't for the fact I'd been in alone all day id swear it had been hidden. Just kept walking into each room expecting it to jump out!!

Then I kept thinking right it's gone forget about it. Then I'd think no it's somewhere in this bloody house!!!

But it's found now!!!!!

No worries, snowball, glad you solved the mystery of the missing phone .
Do you have any plans today?

Hi all, day three of zero cigs and it's sooooo hard. I thought oh it'll be ok cos some days I only smoke one. Fuck me I couldn't have been more wrong

You're not wrong, Cleaning. Last time I tried to give up it's fair to say I was hallucinating fags in front of my eyes like Father Ted.
3 days is epic, bloody well done.

I'm just about to go into my monthly 1-1 with my line manager and I'm dreading it. I'm swaying between plastering on a smile and saying everything is fine. Or being brutally honest and telling her exactly how bad things are. But if I go down that route I'm not sure I'll hold it together and I don't want to be seen as an emotional mess.

Good luck Witty!

Yeah it's horrible lost. I honestly thought that I'd be fine because I was not having that many except on coke nights Some days I'd last all day til about 5pm without smoking. But even going from one to none is bloody difficult. I'm finding this harder than quitting Charlie in a lot of ways

I know exactly what you mean, cleaning. You could look into vaping or nicotine gum? You can get those fake plastic fags that last about a week, I think they contain just nicotine and water vapour so you're avoiding all the bad toxins. Gold star for getting this far

Good luck Witty You could write down the main points you want to raise before you go in there to keep you focused? Try not to get too stressed!

Hope it goes well witty. I hate stuff like that, even when I'm OK a squeaky clean. X

So I've been told I need to work on my "personal branding" because someone mentioned that I'd had my arms crossed during a meeting so it looked like I wasn't listening!

Well if that's all they're moaning about you must be doing fine Witty Perhaps you should hang your arms limply by your sides next time?

Hope you're feeling a bit brighter today?

My personal branding would involve flicking the V.

Cleaning, day 3 is amazing, well done you. Went for another run today. My buttocks hurt. Wine will help though won't it?!

Snow, if I lost my phone i would DIE!

It was a meeting first thing on Monday morning - they were lucky I was awake .

I think they want Stepford staff - anyone that doesn't fit their model is undesirable!

lucky I was awake ha ha Early Monday morning meetings are torturous.

Excellent progress on the running front, serial Hats off to you.

Been trying to help ds make an instrument from household objects that must be able to play different pitch notes. Whatever happened to normal science homework.

Cleaning how is your nicotine withdrawal going?

I fold my arms a lot too whoops!

I'm getting there thanks lost...... I've heard that the first 72 hours are the hardest. I'm totally cold turkey- booze, drugs and cigsI must be crazy

I didn't clean last night.... here's to a less neurotic and less toxin - dependent me

Yes I think you have to push through the 72 hour barrier and then you'll be laughing (well smiling hopefully!)
You'll have to change your name to CleanLivingLikeAMotherFucker

Gosh cleaning, you're a bloody saint! No booze, drugs or fags!!

cleaning you are a legend!! Well done!! The first few days are so key, you've smashed it

It's semi clean living here; having a lager and a couple of fags on the surf board tonight but all is good.

I've noticed we've only got 50 messages left on this thread, so putting a call out to serial... Please can you do your clever linky thing to a new surfboard in a bit? ( If you can move after your run).
It's a ecumenical matter
