Woz thinking more of The Grapes of Wrath...one up each nostril, the rest in yer gob and a head-bashing with the book....any thoughts of breathing let alone smoking will be well out of it.

As indeed,  will you ;D

Ho Hum........... :'( :'( :'( :'(

I fell orf the hoss today......now feel sick. And totally hissed off with myself. But thats ok, coz I dont want another one. I could have done with talking to a counselor or somat earlier......but there ya go :(.

The sad thing (or not so sad) is, I went out last night, with a gang of non smokers.....hey, I was one of them!! :D. And in the car (brand new Audi) I could smell nicotine.........it was my coat Lish, that I hadn't washed coz I thort I had not long washed it. It stunk :-\

Today I spent scleaning and crubbing doors, windows, washed curtains and cushion covers. It has made a lovely difference, but whenever I have done a lot. I sit with a coffee and f*g, I fought it for a couple of hours............then, well I caved in >:(

Like I said though I dont feel well now, sick, headache, palpitations, bad taste. Though my clothes dont smell coz I went outside, but I bet no one wants a snog ::) So I do smell :-X

Onward and upward to tomorrow and the rest of tonight.

The biggest moral I have learned today, is dont do so much that I feel I need to comfort myself when I get tired after doing too much. Lesson learnt.........................

[OllieC]

Don't feel bad Star, you can't change it. Remind yourself that it tasted like cr@p next time you think you want one...

There's worse things than smoking, you mustn't feel guilty. You're still on the road to freedom, and you'll get there if you keep at it!

What I said i my earlier message, that buggered off into the ether, was that come 17th April this year I will have been evil weed free for 22 years.

I really don't want to seem smartass, but what you are all going through now, I've been there, done that.  It is hard, the pangs and cravings are dreadful, but do your best  not to succumb. As I said, 'the one won't hurt'.  It will, and before you know you will be back where you started from.

Hang on in there. I know it's hard, but bite the bullet, and keep on trying.

[star]

I certainly will Val:D

My mum gave up years ago too, and went through hell and back with many little trips along the way. But cracked it in the end..........I intend to do the same.

Ollie, you're so right it tastes like cr@p. And Ive cleaned my teeth so many times tonight :-\ I wont be beaten, I just tripped up a little.

I bet you all still smell lovely ;)

I'll be back with you tomorrow, I cant count today. Even though I havent had one since :)

[Sinbad7]

Oh Star, no wonder you felt so bad.  I make you an offer but NO you wanted to go it alone, that'll teach you ;D  ;D  ;D  Glad you are back with us tomorrow.

I am not at home this weekend so have just caught up with this.  I still haven't had a puff and stuck a lower mg patch on today.

How are you doing today tony?  It's been a beautiful day so expect you have been out and about and kept busy.

Well done Oliie.

[star]

Excellent news all of you ;D

I might be a bit behind, but I will catch up. you are all such good role models. ;)

;) :D

[shirlton]

Don't get beating yourself up Star. I tried about 20 times to stop and it wasn't until I got the patches and the breathing probs that I stopped.At least you know that it wasn't as good as you thought it would be.. you just keep on trying girl.

[tonybloke]

Glad you ain't giving up giving up Star!!   ;D ;D
This ain't the first time I attempted giving up, but I'm convinced it'll be the last!
yep, had a busy day yesterday, sorting out some committee stuff, and preparing on of my No-Dig beds in the A.M., then planting some onions and shallots late in the afternoon,
As the sun was setting in the west, I was planting some sets in the east!! ;)
Glad Ollie and Sinbad are still smoke-free zones, It's great ain't it!! ;)

[OllieC]

I've just spent the last hour trying to get my head around closed form linear recurrence sequences... and I've just been reminded of why I dropped out of Physics first time around.

It's too sodding hard!

Times like this, when you get really annoyed, are when you miss it the most, although I don't think a smoke would really derive my formula for me, it would make me feel better about being a dunce!

Anyway, wife & children have just come back from church so I can go'n be grumpy to them instead of smoking!  ;D

[Hyacinth]

Star, Ol said it all for me, so I'm not even going to bother cutting&pasting...unless yer illicit f*g also resulted in amnesia to add to your guilt? ;D

Have yourself a great day today. Go cuddle a dog. Or two. Or, heck it's Sunday...go give your OH a treat ::)

btw....took me ages and ages & years and years before I realized that the reason that,  as children,  we were packed off to Sunday School on Sunday afternoons,  was because our Mums and Dads were having a Sunday afternoon 'treat' (apparently)... ;D

My youngest much loved daughter (now 30) was the result of the 2 older girls going to  Sunday school. Guess who greeted me at the hospital, the Sunday school teacher!!!!!!!

[tonybloke]

anyway, back on to the topic!!!
Another day without tobacco!!
hope evryone else is maintaining their own little smoke-free zone? ;)

[Sinbad7]

Still smoke free here and am delighted that I actually enjoyed my sunday roast today.

Well done all. 

Where's our little Star?  It dosen't matter if you have had a puff or two just come and talk to us, please.

[tonybloke]

 Ain't it great Sinbad? food tastes a lot better, and I don't use nowhere near as much salt?
we got some roast leg of pork (on a trivet above red onions,makes a lovely gravy), wiv roasties in dripping, yorkies, and a sweetheart cabbage, followed by one of Tracies Banoffee pies, with maple flavoured whipped cream (add a little maplesyrup whilst whipping, yummy)
yep,! food certainly tastes better without the ciggies!!  ;D ;D ;D
Hope all the other new smoke-free zones enjoy their sunday dinner!!

[star]

Well done everyone ;D Yes food does taste better I'll agree with that.

Im back on the horse again, and no patch today. No Im not being clever.......I forgot ::)

Not staying here very long tonight, Im very tired.....................................yawns.

[Hyacinth]

Nighty-night Star...glad to see you checking in and that you had a good day (and without a patch, eh? WOW!)

And nice to read of the Sunday lunches you've all enjoyed....you don't realize how your taste buds are dulled by smoking, do you, til you stop.

Another day tomorrow and almost another day gone. Congrats peeps 8)
