    Wow Lurkio - that's fansupertastic :j :beer: :D :beer: :D :j well done, what an inspiration you are.

    Never mind banging on about warnings & pitfalls, I wasnt complaining, merely agreeing with you as I've got sucked back in before.

    Waspeze - well done for coming back & 'fessing up. I know exactly how you feel as when I had my last blip I very nearly decided to just slip away from the thread unnoticed... Also if you remember way back, I was very moany & whiny & embarassingly self pitying & I particularly remember you saying that yes I had posted my self pitying whinge before but that this was what this thread was all about - supporting eachother through the fierce times & letting us have a moan when needed ;) .
    So, you slipped up - try again. Never give up giving up & I dont like the sound of this 'just getting summer out of the way' EXCUSE :p . so, get your little black & yellow stripy head in order & for goodness sake make tomorrow the last day you try to kill yourself with stinky sticks, please.

    Come on now, you can do it, you can, you can, you can :D

    :rotfl: :rotfl:

    I'd forgotten what you lot were like in here :A :A

    I know what you mean Lula about waiting for summer to be over but I just feel i'm not strong enough to resist at the moment and need to wait a little while til my minds set again .. if that makes sense :confused:

    Next time will definitely take champix again ... apart from a few weird moments it worked wonders for me! .. Do feel that maybe I should have waited a bit before I came off them so next time will hang fire and keep taking them til I look like a little blue pill :D :eek: :D

    Cheers all...

    Ooh, Lurkio you have been following the thread for ages, yep think that was tng & I did take notice - eventually :o .

    Waspeze, ok I get what you're saying about finding a clear space to re begin, I had to do that too. By the way, only just noticed your sig :rotfl: love it & I quite agree :D . I have noted that you're on about 4 a day so make sure you dont allow that to creep up please or I'll be sending Doltage round to give you some homework :eek: . Think you're having too much fun with all the camping, beaching & drinking, I'm blatantly jealous but least I dont smell :p

    I'm very conscious of how much i'm smoking at moment .. have limited myself to one 12.5g of backy a week... i used to smoke about 15 B&H a day before I gave up. Not good but not panic stations :)

    It's really hard living down here by the sea so no reason to be jealous;) :D .. you are right though i do smell again and am very aware of it :o



    The more i'm talking about this the more i'm inclined to try again a bit sooner :eek:
