Hiya. Out all day yesterday so I couldn't check in... sorry.

I know that many a true word is spoken in jest but ... am I getting annoying?

I know that I'm happy about the fact that I've quit and honestly all I ever do is try to help others feel just as happy that they have too.... If I ever sound patronising or "full of it" then I'm truly sorry. All I get every day is someone telling me that they never believed in a million years that I would ever quit. Honestly, you guys don't know me but in real life I'm such a loser at everything - fat, smoker, etc, nobody ever thought I would actually do it. But I have. And now I'm dealing with the "fat" thing too. You can't keep me out of the gym now I can breathe properly.

Anyway... point is... if I'm winding people up then I'd rather know.

No. You're becoming an icon who everyone quotes because you say it/have said it so well... :kisses3:

Hi Everyone.... big test last night, went to charity ball with a big group of friends who smoke... well it was a doddle!!, didn't even think about the fags.

what i did notice, that i drank a lot more, seriously i could of drunk the bar dry
:beer:
the one area i am struggling with is sleep, i have been up since 5am, i didn't get home till 2am, so three hours isn't great.

must admit it was good seeing all the smokers outside freezing there bits off to have a puff....hehehe

Hope everyone is getting on alright giving up

Hiya everyone.
And well done not only on the quiting but being brave enough to do a run!!!!

Im on day 17, had a bad week and almost gave in, but im still here, there is no way im losing the biggest count of days iv ever had for stopping, went to NHS group last tuesday and im the only one from the group who hadnt had a fag which made me feel better, they had all had at least 10 throughout the week and one guy tried to tell us he hadnt but had to admit it when his carbon monoixde reading was through the roof. We had a laugh about it and they all seem motivated again.
Keep going everyone

Joe. If it were not for you pointing out a certain website to me I would probably still be smoking. If that is annoying then you can b****y well carry on. Love your advice.:T

Well done dlb and skintnow on not cracking :T

And to everyone else Good morning :hello:

Still going strong

Lovin' your work, JoeHel :kisses3:

I did think when I typed it you might take it the wrong way, in which case I sincerely apologise. I start smiling as soon as I've seen you've posted 'cos I know that what I am about to read is 100% non-smoking gold.

JoeHel, you keep everyone on here motivated with your fantastic advice and support, don't you dare think you're annoying or winding people up - keep it up

Skintnow, careful you don't give up one addiction and take on another

Lurkio, I presume your early morning this morning is because you've been out for a run :rolleyes:

How's everyone today?
