    Just saw loads of people smoking and it made me want too.

    I'm not controlled I'm shaking like mad.

    One of these days I'm going to have the courage to throw all my cigarettes away.

    Any tips on getting through the weekend ciggie free, this is the time I normally slip up, as everybody I share my weekends with smoke. I feel really good about it at the moment as i have done it before, but just in case!!!

    Hi all just wandered in to catch up on how you are all doing (Jo - what a dilemma, but congratulations for working through it smoke free !)

    Now this smoking thing - have reduced myself to roll ups and what a pile of poop that is. Has to be the messiest, most frustrating rigmarole ever ! I don't think I can be bothered. By the time you've made something that resembles a cigarette you don't want it anyway.

    It's on it's way out - I just don't have the time.
    Wish me luck I'm trying again as of today.

    Good luck Jo, you know you don't want to smoke anymore, just a case of jumping up on that first rung of the ladder again and getting the first day out of the way. I find that after you've managed one day you've got something to work for iykwim...

    Pop back later and let us know how you're going :)

    How's everyone else this morning? Housework and one mystery shop planned for me :(

    Bored and tired, but smoke free today.

    I can't throw them away as my parents would see them and kill me.
