Thanks for your king words Richard, it's surprising how hearing from the ones that have succeeded spurs one on to keep trying. As I never ever thought I would try to give it up I am pleased I have got this far.

Hopefully Tony when i get over this chest infection and get back to my normal self it will be easier and I will be able to keep active.

Hope you have an easy day tomorrow.

Sinbad

Good luck Powerspade for tomorrow. If I can be of any help just pm me.

Had a bad moment at the supermarket today. I looked longingly at a scrunched dog end on the floor, luckily I didn't have a light......................now that's really bad isn't it??? ;D ;D ;D

Don't beat yourselves up if you have a weak moment or see a dog end and want to pick it up. Always remember that a drug is what you are giving up.
Get up again dust yourself off and start again. When I stopped , If I started craving for a cig I used to tell myself that I could go and get myself a bag of glue (cos its just the same) This had always repulsed me when I had seen people doing it. It really did help me. Anyhow keep up the good work you are all doing really well.

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Tony, I'll try to remember.

Thanks Shirl, one has to worry about looking longingly at dog ends as what will become of me when I 've lost it completely ;D ;D ;D

I tell you I used to dream about smoking every night. The dreams were that vivid that I really used to wake up thinking that I really had smoked. I also used to dream about people that I admired (non smokers) and they were puffing away at their cigs. I think it must be the mind trying to trick us into having a fix..

Sinbad7 · « **Reply #69 on:** February 01, 2009, 14:54:19 »

Shirl, I wanna dream that dream, honest I do. Fancy being able to smoke when it had nothing to do with you, sounds good to me ;D ;D ;D

Come on Shirl, tell me how I do it..........................please. I really am feeling desperate today, so much so I am going to have to go and put the ironing board up..................... I hate ironing too ;D

Wonder how Tony is keeping himself occupied today and how Powerspade is getting on.

Shirl, you could earn a few bob here if you taught us all how to dream the smoking dream ;D ;D ;D

shirlton · « **Reply #72 on:** February 01, 2009, 15:12:58 »

Sinbad7 · « **Reply #73 on:** February 01, 2009, 15:19:10 »

Blimey, this sounds too good to be true ;D ;D If it works I 'll send you a bottle too ;D

I know, I didn't have much ironing

tonybloke · « **Reply #74 on:** February 01, 2009, 16:25:42 »

I'm keeping busy!!, been down the lotty to get some veg, and to get a large bucket full of 2 yr old horse sh*t, for my mate to grow mushrooms in, under the bench in his orchid house. I'm cooking a roast (organic chicken) as the O.H. is loking after her mum (75yrs), who's just out of hospital after major surgery. Doing a bit of assignment work for college, washing up (by hand) whilst doing a bit of birdwatching (we overlook the old cemetery), etc, etc,....... ;D ;D

Hope your mother-in-law gets well soon Tony.

I wish I had your energy, maybe when my chest infection has gone I will get back into being hyperactive ;D

Tony do you know a place called Ditchingham? Sorry off topic.

tonybloke · « **Reply #76 on:** February 01, 2009, 19:31:36 »

Sinbad7 · « **Reply #77 on:** February 01, 2009, 19:43:48 »

Oh, never heard of the roundabout, it's just my gr grandmother was born there ;D I'm doing my ancestry and remembered some of my ancestor's come from Norfolk, so always keen to hear about the places they came from.

tonybloke · « **Reply #78 on:** February 01, 2009, 19:46:54 »
