Nice people thread part 6 - thrice by twice as nice :)

Hello NP,

I'm in for Stoptober, and have started a 'membership club' for anyone else that wants to give up smoking for a month with us.

For every NP to join, I'll give £10 to the MSE charity (Martin can verify this later on)

Good luck CK. This NP is a non-smoker, but I wish you well with your efforts, as well as those of any NP who decides to give Stoptober a go.

Good luck CK!:T

Here's a list of all current NPs here apart from lurkers who can't be verified I'm afraid, unless they thanked a post before the current date.

You can only give up the cigs when you're ready - and forcing it with any form of challenge can amplify any feelings of failure that result if .... you fail. So I'm out.

And, if sane is normal ... who wants to be normal

Dave - hope things are going well. Do keep dropping in when you can, and we'll look forward to seeing more of you when things slow down for the winter.

Thanks.:)

Things are going OK, but it's been a bit manic this summer (?) and our targets have slipped a bit.

For those who remember, we had some plans drawn-up to give our bungalow a partial first floor + other improvements. After the council's planning officer made negative noises, they passed them without any conditions, but by then we'd got cold feet! :o

So, sensible hats on, we asked our architect to cobble part of Plan A to a ground floor extension to make a Plan B. This will give us a decent house and allow other changes too, which are more important than being able to see a bit further!

I'm not a smoker.:D I used to be, but that was 25 years ago, on another planet.

Good luck, lir. ......and CK.

Not as posh as other hosp. And running late. Thats ok, shows they spend time with their patients.

what i don't get about stoptober is why it only lasts for 28 days.

i should think that i will be able to "give up" for 28 days of stoptober, as that still gives me 3 friday nights to go out binge drinking and smoke about 40.

Looks like a plan. I am currently managing to not smoke for 12 hours/day.... and this is now easier than it was as I don't panic about getting "the last fag of the night" in so late as I know I can make it through the night .. and in the mornings, I'm happy to have a lie in of an hour or so, rather than rushing out at first light

Woke up this morning at 7:30 and thought "ooh, it's dark ...." but got up anyway and brushed my teeth/washed ... and got back into bed for a 20 minute lie down..... but it wasn't getting any lighter. Then I realised it was 1:45 and not 7:45.... and then I couldn't get to sleep again until 5am.
