Action you can hijack it all you like :D I always say to people that I love scary films, but I'm the one who watches it through their fingers or behind a pillow, saying no no don't tell me what's happening, omfg can't stand this what's happening tell me tell me!!!

now that could be taken the wrong way roflmao :P

Love this thread, think we should all get together and form a chain across all the major cities handing out LadyB's flyers, Im the worse ex smoker in town, tutting and spluttering, I have to withhold my tongue when I know someone is smoking,

You enjoy them Amy, so much better than yucky cigarettes, quitting does suck but it does get easier believe me, the ride is a bit bumpy sometimes but think of the end result, a happier healthier you, what more could you want :D

Rachael don't throw this quit away, it so not worth it, youv'e got this far and you know this feeling will pass, its a thought, just don't give it room to grow, you will regret it and for what a 2 second buzz, then you will be back too square one.....errr I think NOT.

All I know at the minute is its Easter and there is way too much chocolate about, all within hand grabbing distance, I have been very good up to now, eating well, I exercise every night for 40 mins apart from a Saturday which maintains me, I've put on a little but am ok with that, once the better weather has arrived for good it will be back to walking for me :lol:

Day after Day I have sat on this wonderful forum amongst wonderful friends who support and inspire. Day after Day I notice that the number of guests in our little community sits way over 50 each and every day. Day after Day I ask myself the same question, what is stopping them from signing up? So guests please do not sit on the sidelines any longer, please stop dabbling your toe into the edge of the pool, stop denying that you have a problem, please before it is too late, come and join us, We don't bite, well maybe a few do, not mentioning any names lol. We are always here to help. support. We only want to see you quit, there is no other ulterior motif in our forum other than helping even that one person to stop smoking. We have all been where you are today lurking just on the outside, but please don't forever look in, please don't walk away, it could save your life. Even come along and log in for just a day, quit and see how it goes, I bet you that you wish you had done it sooner. Please all you guests wanting to quit just Come on Down your life depends on it,

I welcomed the no smoking ban in the UK when it came into force, even as a smoker I hated going into restaurants where people smoked, I was very contradictory though as I enjoyed going into a pub and being able to smoke with my drink, I would imagine that was my junkie thought justifying that anything I did or said regarding smoking was cool, whether I contradicted myself or not, Holy Moly what a revelation that is.....I must have been turning myself around in circles trying to chase me tail!!

Love this idea Marti, will try that before I go to bed tonight, its just they are so real, sometimes I have a dream and I so do not want to wake up, but lets not go there lol :o

Hi Sarah of course you can handle this, just remember for years you have been abusing your body with nicotine, its now going through a cleansing phase to help return to normal, all of what you are feeling is completely normal, my little episodes at the start did give me a fright, and it was only when someone explained it was normal that I calmed down and told myself its my body healing. I still get them from time to time where my heart races but its only for a few minutes, your quit journey can be an emotional everyone goes through it differently but we all seem to have similar paths if that makes any sense. If you feel it beginning, just try and relax, close your mind and breath in and out deeply you feel alot better believe, keep going you are doing great and are right where you need to be :D

Well I shouldn't really call them dreams, they are definitely nightmares, but whatever I call them they are back. For the last 3 nights my dreams have been so bizarre!! Last night's one had me at my work, all staff in, all stuff drunk and sleeping, and a pack of cigarettes in my hand, smoked them all, then went and tried to buy some Champix illegally, I actually still have some in my cupboard 4 packs which I didnt take, and in my dream when no-one would sell me champix, I was actually trying to crush the tablets so I could make the first two weeks of half a doseage,......shudder not going there again. Its amazing how the brain analysis your thought that are stored away. Or some could just say Jackie ohhhh look there's the white van with square wheels. On a better note, the relief that I feel on waking, and realising it was all just a dream is immense.

coming here definitely keeps me on the straight and narrow

Congratulations Evelyn keep on going your doing great

ArmedNbananas absolutely fantastic 6 months WOW be proud xx

So so so proud of you Tracey, love reading your posts and your such an inspiration, keep going cos you got this in the bag Tracey (and still cant get my sparkly congrats to show ;) ) xxx

I am here too NOPE and SNOT today

DaisyJane go and enjoy, put all thoughts of anything smoke related to the back of your mind, because its only a thought, take some scented candles with you for your room, it will also add to the romance, I would imagine that the smell if its as bad as your friend says will be enough to make you gag at the thought of smoking, Your going on a well deserved celebration with your lovely husband of 12 years, there is nothing else you need. Have a fabulous time :) xx

(((Ross))) so sorry to have missed this post last night, but was in the land of nod, please try not to worry easier said than done I know, under no circumstances as everyone else has said do not goggle anything at all, or you might find out your actually a woman!! They are so quick today and your in the best hands fingers crossed that the results are good, we are all here for you, try not to answer the dentist whilst he has his fingers in your mouth, now why the hell do they talk to you in the first place. Big Hugs.. Julie, for the first time in my life I have boobies, only because I have stopped smoking and have put on weight LOL, not looking forward to any boobie squashing at all, think they look like pyramids after, but good luck, hang tight and smile preferably with your eyes crossed and tongue out! love to you both xxx

Julie its better to get it all off your mind and if that means coming here and writing it down, I hope it helped, even just a little bit, Kids will always fall out with their parents, stamp their feet and spit out their dummies, but at the end of the day, they will still love you, and do you know why, because they only have one Mum, its all part of life and growing up, pushing boundaries. I really hope your Dad is ok, and lets hope he doesnt let the Doctor know its actually called a "dangler" , hope you have a restful night, we are all here for you remember that, take care and deep breaths. xx
