El Bandito

"Stu talked to himself" I resemble that statement!! :D If the Almighty is not listening, then in order to find his equal, a Scotsman is forced to talk to himself.... Geri - say Hi sweetheart....

Becca is right - just do something else for a bit. Take a walk? Make some tea? The only thing that makes you crave another cigarette is the last cigarette. Never smokers don't walk around craving cigarettes. Hell I don't crave cigarettes any more - and I could put away 60 a day. I smoked 30 years - 2 packs a day for many of them. Just like you. Look at my ticker. And guess what? I even had fun getting there. You can do this

Crying is a release. Crying is how we get tension out. Crying is good. Work with me cprofits - check in. You can do this, you absolutely can. the 72 hours is pretty intense - for me actually Day 2 was the worst - but its a very personal thing.

Take a real big breath and then do it again. Send me an abusive post - tell me to go screw myself. Laugh like a crazy person. You are winning! You are really doing this! Not some NRT slowly slowly thing for you - You have looked this addiction straight in the eye and said NO! Enough. You are winning.

It does end. End it right now. All day you have wanted a cigarette - and you have survived. I know you feel stressed - tired - angry and that is normal. What you are feeling is the double whammy - physical withdrawal and your mental addiction double-teaming you. The physical addiction is 72 hours. So in 24 hours all of the nicotine will have left your body.

Quitting Cold turkey was the way that I quit. I understand where you are. The cravings seem endless, like wave after wave crashing on the beach. It seems like it will never end.

Angry is great. You are doing great.

Keep on keeping on.

Hey Rowly - probably a touch of anxiety or something muscular. In simple terms - don't mess around with Chest pains. Go see a Doc. Put your mind at ease.

Great work MG. Well done.

Congratulations! Well done.

Good stuff Gabby. Thoughts and prayers going your way.

I sing NOPE

Good morning Evelyn! That's the spirit. Keep marching on. I am sure that managing the memories is in order to better enjoy the future, so keep going. I know that you are strong. Right behind you.

NayNay - you may be La Bandita's sister. The cleaning one was huge for her. A real surprise one for me is the hangover - if I over-indulge in alcohol (perish the thought!) the following morning - as well as feeling a bit rough - I get a trigger. Strange.

HAVE MORE SEX! Live every day like it is your last. It might be.

Zero - Thanks Saz...

Getting better MQ - but the Math is still off on mine at least - my saving is more like £3,400 than the £2,250 shown.

Upside down people...stop it. I may have trench foot.
