  • hello qutters old and new, and a very warm welcome back to lovely sue-uu

    gosh ths thread has picked up a pace while i was away ( been visiting a very dear friend now that my night shifts are over and feel i can rejoin the land of the living ):j

    am pleased to say i have been fine and was surprised when i clicked on my silk qut meter that i have gone so long already and would of spent a shocking £92 n that time :eek:

    glad to see folk joining our merry band of freedom fighters , stick with it by whatever means makes your journey more comfortable , we will all have the same end results

    and if you have fallen by the wayside , the road is never closed just hop back on board , never feel its hopeless or you cant do it , ( YOU CAN AND WILL ) succeed

    we are with you all the way

    had a cig last night at a friend's house and it didn't taste as good (or as good a throat hit) as the e-cig...though didn't have my nicorette on me so was a bit stuck....

    So that's like one cig in 7 weeks..Not going to have anymore...Didn't make me feel sick....just tasted like air...Praise God it only tasted like air and completely put me off :money: I just wanted to see what it tasted like...just curious......

    So yeah that's me...I shall be 8 weeks tomorrow and 2 months on Monday...

    Saw the nurse practioner yesterday and she was chuffed to bits I was off the cigs :T...

    Had a nightmare 24 hours and caved in and had a couple. My DD was the victim of a firework gang one hitting off her face, one exploding on her ankle. We don't know if the explosion or the chase has managed to give her a spiral fracture of the fibula. Lucky girl that she managed to get her arm up to protect her face. 8 weeks in a cast she's facing because of these stupid *$%$*$%^.

    Anyhoo, again I've slipped up, still not gonna let it win tho. Lack of sleep beats me every time

    ARGH!,

    Mazza111, a couple of fags after that happened, I'm not surprised.
    Hope your DD is comfortable and soon on the mend.

  • Hi guys

    Have finally bitten the bullet and made an appointment at the stop smoking clinic at our gp's.(Monday at 5.30pm)

    I smoke 20 - 30 a day - more when i'm not at work - less when i am - it's just a really bad habit. (stating the obvious here)

    I'm not sure what to expect - but i need help to keep me going - i've worked out i can pay off my overdraft in 3 months if i quit - that's another incentive:D

    Just wanted to say hi - incase by this time next week i'm climbing the walls and needing an ear

    Wish me luck please..

    Hi I have stopped smoking for 37 days if you want another incentive my Doctor advised me to stop smoking or risk losing some toes or a foot or maybe my LEG that did it for me. GOOD LUCK
