Phew... sheesh... ok have emL 1. I once ate every item on the Hungry Jacks (Burger King) menu for a dare 2. I wont get in the water at the beach if there is a lot of seaweed/kelp 3. I once burnt a book because i thought it was cursed

I think the psychological aspect of the nicotine addiction is the worst. The physical side wasn't so bad but the mind battle is still happening for me. Not as bad as before or in the past but its there. Besides the support here (and over there) I honestly think that the biggest difference with this quit was the amount of knowledge I armed myself with and still read.

Well Lucy late pants gets the dregs again so I am 1.... can I just go on record and say I actually hope this is a lie cos while I have relo pics all over the house I don't have em in the bedroom because well its just wrong cos I feel like they are watching and well it s just not on..

NOPEs

Beware, bunny bites?

Um... Boater, mate... trust me when I say this, and I come from the position of making the exact same statement you just did (smoking was my only vice)... no darling its an addiction, its the nicotine that makes you feel good, not the frickin smoke... AND... I am just like you, I quit for nearly 7 years, 1 smoke was all it took and I was back to a pack a day within a week... I'm doing this quit 1 day at a time because I know I can do 24 hours, so i'm focusing on that, stringing them together and NOPEing like there is no tomorrow because I know if I want to keep my quit I have to really have Not One Puff Ever. You can do this, you can beat the addiction, you just need to put in the hard yards and fight like you have never fought before because that b1atch nicotine is so deep in your head she's made you think you need her but ya don't mate. You can do it.

Keep away from pillows?

Welcome Sunny, sorry that you have to start over. I'm another who threw away their quit, for me we are talking nearly 7 years. Take what you learnt from that and apply it to this quit. I learnt that for me it will be NOPE and it will be every day forever. So you can do this, you have done it before you know its possible. Stay strong and good luck for your quit date.

I'm another who threw away a long quit, for me it was nearly 7 years. I'm going well this time and working to make this the sticky one. Basically everything Whisper said is what I would... 1 day at a time, NOPE and read, read, read, everything you can to have all the power over the addiction.

Welcome Boater, 10 days cold turkey, your doing great. The insomnia is a killer but at least here because were pretty global there is usually someone online at any time. Best two bits of advice i can give is to take it one day at a time and to read as much as you can about the addiction. Knowledge is power and you can do this. Let this be your sticky quit..

Well as all the Northies finish up celebrations on the Lido Deck I am sure they will all tidy before they go, I had a peak in and Claire's party is pretty full on so i'm kinda dreading clean up duty. So.. shout out to our girl Roz, hope your doing well and looking at a go home date for the weekend. N NOPE ... Not now, not later and not ever. Topic of the day: Spectacular Cover Songs .... but title or artist...

I have... oh...oppps .... umm Sherlock Holmes "You have to be kidding me! I was in Boston for a week, and I never heard a decent Mariachi playing."

Breakfast... porridge with honey and cinnamon (the real stuff not the fake stuff i'm allergic to) Lunch ... brown rice with peas and corn. Tea ... sweet potato noodles with pan tossed vegies, chichken pieces and some herbs... it was sort of like pasta without a sauce Vegemite... so far today I have opened the jar 3 times to take a sniff.....and I have promised it that as soon as these tests are done I'll eat some... just think Golem but instead of a ring its a jar of vegemite... junky much?! Coffee issue... haven't found a soy or dairy free alternative to use that doesn't curdle in the coffee.... i was crunching coffee beans but that go old when my heart went into overdrive. So I am working my way through teas trying to find the one... I have had the most luck with Russian Orange... which is russian caravan with dried range peel in it... nice and strong but not coffee.

of course, don't you?

Sometimes my dreams are fun and I don't want to wake up. Do you get that?

hey @PeaceTrain i don't know much about the whole 30 diet, but I'm on a really restricted diet for the next 2-3 weeks for some medical tests. I have more things I can't eat than I can. I'm on day 5 and am struggling a bit too. Mine is a Low Iodine Diet (yay the thyroid) so i can have rice and oats but no other grains, no eggs, no dairy, no soy, only almonds or walnuts and only a small amount a day, no green leafies, no legumes, no fish or shellfish (i eat this 3-4 days a week so thats biting), no bread, no iodised salt and because of the laws here about iodizing salt that means I have to rule out any pre-prepared anything, no cauli, no broccoli, only 170g of meat per day... its great fun isn't it. We can be miserable together.

Is it strange if your dreams have midgets in wheelchairs yelling at you about smoking?
