Hey Honey, 3 weeks is definately the hill, it was for me anyway. If you remember i kept biting the OH and yelling at any opportunitiy. I blamed the cigs as anyone of us would had done. But its not been a good 5 days since i have wanted one and its not on my mind anymore.

Hi Jfox, that is so good to know... honestly it really is. My OH is on the receiving end at the moment!, and whilst it doesn't feel like I want a cigarette all the time - my mood feels different, and I can only blame the no cigs - as I am snappy and irrational :eek: ... I hope it passes soon - I try to reason with myself but I cant... the bad mood wins I am afraid!. I am onto Day 16 now!. :mad:

Good Luck everyone with No Smoking Thursday...

Well Done Richard!!... - over a month is great - good news on the alcohol front too... I have found my intake increased :eek:

Hi everyone & well done on your achievments so far,


Richard - Congratulations on your calendar monthiversary :j :j that such a great milestone, very proud of you & thanks for all your support too.

Jfox - Congratulations on not even thinking about the evil ones for 5 days

Doltage - Actually ticket is a chrimbo / birthday present from my sis so hasnt cost me a penny BUT like you say can enjoy whole gig without having to sneak off outside. Is it ok to stand close to a smoker & breathe deeply tho

I wish I could say I wasnt thinking about cigs still, but that's just my brain playing tricks cos the cravings are getting less as time goes on. Weirdly I'm changing my food habits too, eating much more healthily & generally feeling better. I'm having a coffee as I type but its the only one of the day now & although I'm aware that this was one of my temptation moments, I can now enjoy the coffee on its own.

Keep it everyone, it's tough but we will win,

We will do it, we will, we will, we will

OK - thats another morning gone on the smoke free quest...in fact so have 2 hours of the afternoon
Actually finding it a bit tougher again today. Day 1 and 3 were good, day 2 and 4 tougher. I have no idea why. I seem to have this "wanton" sensation in my chest/lungs?!?!?!

Drinking water and posting but still have the URGE...

OK maybe some pointless posting will help...um....

Youngest son's birthday on Sunday. My OH has had all the fun of getting his presents, including remote control car from ebay, face paints for his party (this Saturday I have 12 5 year olds in my house/garden and I am in charge of party games arrrggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh), and a new scooter. I need to get him a more "manly" father to son present...I will give it some thought but all ideas gratefully received

Craving past rofl

Lewki,

Youre doing great, think day 3 was worse but suppose thats why we're all different. Glas thats not me with the birthday at the weekend! lol. I get to wait till the end of July before the house gets taken over by tearaways.

Hoping Miia and Naomim are still around.

Would feel bad if I had a sneaky smoke, like theres somone watching me all the time, sort of because its virtual support you can see what Im doing all the time, is that really odd??

Yes Im rambling, but its better than talking about carrots which I did for a long time the other day.

Yeah crave time over time for some more water and oh I suppose some more work... :rolleyes:

LEWKI

I feel like something is missing today, by brain is on a constant nag nag nag. It does not help that work is pressurised to day.

You are right about the virtual ticking off! I am the same, I would feel guilty lol. Hope Miia and Naomim are still going strong as we all stopped at the sametime! Maybe carratine poisoning or something

I think tomorrow will be a better day. I have decide that odd numbers are better!

Felt like something was missing yesterday.... especially when I was sitting outside the coffee shop, in the sunshine. Don't feel too bad today just feel like I am missing out on a bit of the conversation as everyone (well a few people) have just been for fag break.

You need to have a coffee and be strong, the others will be back tomoz and will be looking for you. Think how much better the party will be at the weekend if youve not got to go and find somewhere to sneak to for a crafty fag!

God im bad at the support thing, good at taking it when I need it, bad a giving it just end up rambling like a mad woman.

LEWKI

Hey Wanna, I'm definately better now than a 3 hour period from about 11-2pm

Nearly the end of the working day, then back home to do something energetic. Last night I cleaned the bathroom from top to bottom!! It didn't really need doing but OH had had a bad day and I figured best to keep out of the way lol

Anyway, congrats on another day done and dusted. I would go outside with gossip mongers for a walk anyway and they will be so envious that you are sttod there not puffing away. It used to annoy me when people could do that

wannabemoneysavingstar

Yeah another day, it is strange as soom as its nearly home time it does seem to die down a little. Think my bathroom could do with a scrub tonight....... and Im sure the hoover needs pushing around.

Not sure Im quite ready for standing with a group of smokers having a goosip, oh well Im sure the gossip is not that important any way (isn't normally):D
