    Morning all,

    Well done doltage :D, Im having my weekiversary today & you've inspired me to get through another 3.

    I bottled it with the petrol today:o. Still have a quarter tank left so thought it best to avoid temptation & will refuel tomorrow when I have my daughter with me - she knows when I'm buying fags as I take my bag into the kiosk to hide them in rather than just a purse & keys !

    Honestly, it's pathetic, I'm a 40 year old woman who until last week was still using the "just popping out to the shed to get something " excuse that I used on my parents over 20 years ago :o . She doesnt fall for it anymore than they did but I still like to believe that smoking in fresh air followed by chewing gum means noone will know.

    Half my trouble is that I've always been a furtive smoker ( boarding school, vehemently opposed parents & sanctimonious ex-smoker siblings ) so have built up a huge repertoire of plausible opportunites when i can have a sneaky one.

    Posting this has kept me from my usual & favourite late morning one with coffee ( they go together like gin & tonic mmmm) so thanks guys, back to work now with a nicorette gum...

    lula

    Half my trouble is that I've always been a furtive smoker so have years of

    AAAAAArrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    I am having a horrible day and I can't cope and I wish I could smoke to get it out of my system.


    I'll be back when I have calmed down - I don't need a cigarette, just an outlet.

    MFD I'm sending virtual hugs your way from here, I know you can ride this out 'cos you've been so strong to last this distance you'll be able to avoid the little tricks that your mind is playing on you.

    Yes, you're having a tough day, NO, you do not need to smoke-non smokers like you don't need to smoke!
