I will pluck up the courage to join you one day but not ready yet.

See you soon

YM, post away my dear, all are welcome One day we'll snag ya properly though

It's funny, I thought you had posted on here before before I just checked, but must've seen you elsewhere!

I may have done but I have not joined yet ( Coward) . I tend to flit around a lot. I even went into the techies section today. My god they speak a totally different language in there :rotfl: Funny enough i gave up for 4 months before i had my LBM. I am toying with the idea again.

You may see me soon.

You sound as though you're gearing up for it, we'll all be here (hopefully) when you're ready. Word of advice, don't actually do it until your heart and soul is in it though, it'll just hit you one day if you keep thinking about it. And it's not as bad as you fear.

Adz - I thought the same as you when I was 15, and probably so does everyone who starts young. I am in control, I choose to smoke, I can stop when I want. The truth of the matter is that you are NOT in control, you do not choose to smoke and you can't stop when you want because, unfortunately, you are addicted. Why else would you need the support of us lot if you could stop anytime?

Fine...

I pledge not to smoke today.

Well hello there everybody, it's been a strange few days with this forum being down over the weekend ... I kept checking to see if it was back on and it's back! How is everyone? Well erm IDA what can I say ... are you happy ... and most important are you feeling well? That's very big news and a lot to take in I expect!!:D

TNG, how's the missus doing today?? She was complaining of a fuzzy head well I can tell you that when I started on the patches my head was fuzzy - more than it normally is felt quite strange to be honest, and dreams ... well I dream a lot anyway but it was every night!

I'm still puffing away but feeling more and more cross with myself for doing so but then why oh why can't I take the plunge! Every time I buy a pouch of tobacco I say to myself this is the last one I'm buying but then when I'm running out what do I do ... yes you've guessed it I buy another!

Yellow monkey, perhaps you're getting close to giving up ... you sound a bit as though you've got it constantly on your mind as well!

Jo1972, how are you? You are always upbeat and positive, you really put out good vibes. Hope you have a good day despite the big wig!:D

Where's Adz today, I must say I'm a bit worried about him and I'm really sorry he has started smoking again!

costa lot, oops ... you fell off the wagon aswell, it's hard isn't it!

I'm coming to the end of the tobacco I have ... what do I do?? Erm ... well I know I have patches upstairs next to the bed ready ... I really don't know ...
