October 25, 201510 yr So Bakin suggested I may like to try on a name without 'smoke' in the title. He nudged me in the direction of breakfast items. I haven't slept all night. This is the best I could come up with!!!! :-)
October 25, 201510 yr Author This may be posted in the wrong place. Sorry Admin. I should probably have put it in the social area? Sorry again
October 25, 201510 yr It's ok.... I kinda liked the old one...like you said.....it's the Internet and you can be anything you want..... Which also means I can picture the user on the other end any way I want, and smoking hot brings up a better image than pancakes....lol. ;)
October 25, 201510 yr I might have to cook pancakes now lol. Great name, go big or go home I say :) The sleep thing calms down. Some basics for natural rememdies though. Lavender is said to be relaxing, maybe scented bath things before bed. Hot chocolate, never underestimate warm milk. Chamomile or Peppermint tea are great (they never tell you peppermint which is technically for stomach but really works well for sleep). xx
October 25, 201510 yr I like it! Well done. I once (true story) went by the handle 'pickledegginaskilletangel.' Everyone at the time was angel this, or angel that.
October 25, 201510 yr Bakon ? Pancakes ? It kinda makes me think of food when I come here now....aww I do love a pancake.... Sleep patterns.....oh yes all over the show......some sleep deprived....some sleep lots..... It does settle down eventually.... When I first quit....I used the board near enough 24 hours a day....didn't sleep much at all..... Soon enough I was back to sleeping well.... Your doing great....just go with it....x
October 25, 201510 yr Author Aw thanks guys, it's nice to have support. Just awake and up, ready for another night shift. This time equipped with better ideas. Breathe, mindful, gum at the ready. Interestingly, I still have that tight chest/throat from years of smoking which serves well to put me off also. I think to myself, 6 days later has made no change to this. Why on earth would k make it even worse? I do find 'the quit' is literally the first thing on my mind from the second I wake up. Not necessarily a craving, just 'oh, I dont smoke, that's weird' Anyway, I'm off to eat some 'breakfast' at tea time. It's all so confusing, especially as lots of you are across the pond in different time zones! Ava - that's a hilarious name! Whatever made you come up with that? Marti - some lovely advice, thank you Joe - you old flirt, you! I kinda liked the name too but it did seem a little pretentious at second glance. I liked the pun on 'non' smoking but I never have been 'smokinghot'! And Bakon - I didn't ask either!! ;-)
October 25, 201510 yr love the name change The tight chest Is just your body healing itself people can feel worst before they feel better and you will too!
October 25, 201510 yr Bakon ? Pancakes ? It kinda makes me think of food when I come here now....aww I do love a pancake.... I can not believe you let this one slide by you without using the word sausage!! Or mentioning how much you do love a sausage. Hmm, seems you're slippin Doreen.
October 25, 201510 yr LOL....your right....I must be getting old....memory loss... This board is getting quite a banquet going.... Aww I'm off for a sausage......
October 26, 201510 yr Pork and Pancakes - Cool name, never really got the bacon + sweet thing at breakfast though... Pork and Congealed pigs blood, now you are talking....
October 26, 201510 yr Author Lol, pancakes don't have to be sweet though. This side of the pond you can get em with cheese and ham and other savoury fillings. Sometimes they call em crepes and they're served the size of dinner plates and very thin. Not like the thick sweet ones served in the US. Both are good. Day 7 nearly down. I'm not sure why I'm counting, what's the ultimate goal? It takes a long time to count to forever! Perhaps I should set a reward up for certain milestones?
October 26, 201510 yr Rewards, yes. Good thing. Counting? It helps strengthen the resolve I think. 7 days is pretty cool. Well done.

It's all so confusing, especially as lots of you are across the pond in different time zones! Ava - that's a hilarious name! Whatever made you come up with that? I used to frequent a pub that sold pickled eggs and we always used to dare each other to buy one. No one ever did though. Also the bartender looked quite a bit like Hugh Jackman. But I digress.
October 29, 201510 yr Day 7 nearly down. I'm not sure why I'm counting, what's the ultimate goal? It takes a long time to count to forever! Perhaps I should set a reward up for certain milestones? Every day is worth counting - sometimes every minute too. :) As time goes by, you won't think about it as much. A whole day and more will go by and the thought of smoking won't even enter your mind at all. In the beginning, however, every moment we don't smoke is a celebration! :) Congrats!! and Welcome!!!
October 30, 201510 yr Pancakes, Bakon can be a pain in the 'ss the best way is to use his own words against him :P So Porky boy maybe you can make her some flenches? Be nice, ok? Or do you réally need me come over for some spanking-oh wait I might send one of my pigs over to shit on well something. That stinks :P Pancakes you are doing great.
October 30, 201510 yr Author Evelyn, thank you for your sweet words. Bakon doesn't bother me. I can see he's a little rough round the edges but I'm sure he's a soft teddy bear on the inside ;-). Besides, I don't need him to be nice cos I have the rest of you lovely lot doing that. Bakon reminds me of the kid that punches your arm in the playground cos he forgot how to use his manners. <pokes tongue out at Bakon> :-)
