  • Morning all,

    Off to London today. That's really crap for the CO count at the pharmacist on Saturday, sitting in all the vehicle fumes for hours. :mad: Will need to go to the Ipswich match on Saturday with St John to clear my lungs. :D That's my excuse for sliding off to football instead of working on the house! :rolleyes:

    Hope you all have a great, smoke free day.

    Best of luck

    mornin well its tuesday morning and ive been up for 3 hours and ive not had a single rollie

    ive been wanting to quit for a while and i cant cough very well even tho ive got a build up of phlem and my sinuses are completely blocked( sorry but i need to get this down for myself)
    i ran out of baccy just before bed last night and im NOT going to by anymore, im actually excited about giving up, ive got i rollie left and its still in the ashtray, i know i should bin it butwhen i want a cig i m sucking on a lolly looking at it smelling it not wanting it, i will need to smell it when i want one coz then it confirms how awful it smells.
    so wish me luck coz i got the will power of an ameoba, BUT i actually WANT to do it this ttime,
    If we can put a man on the moon...how come we cant put them all there?

    don't smell the rolly smell the ashtray - it makes it smell even worse and you realise how bad it is!! Well done on giving up - have you worked out how much you will be saving per day?

    even better, empty the ash tray in to a jar with some water in it - smell that. If that doesn't put you off....... _pale_

    NO SMOKING DAY today so good luck to everyone stopping today - just think of it as the first day of the rest of your life!!!

    Well done to everyone else here who is doing so well - hope you are all having a good day!!

    I'm not I'm thoroughly miserable and if I didn't know how stupid it was I would be outside having a cigarette now! Why - its my birthday - my husband forgot , thought it was tomorrow, my mother sent me a handbag that I wouldn't be seen dead with and my brother sent me a cheque in the wrong name to go with the cheque he sent at Xmas with my name spelt wrong!! I know at 35 I should be above this but not feeling well anyway and just a little bit hormonal! Sorry had to have a whinge to someone:rolleyes:
