Awww Rose

Now that is such a shame just having that "one" cig. Just keeps your body and brain wanting more. Have you tried any quit smoking products I wonder?

Keep on trying as you will get there.

Think of it as this dragon in your head that every time you light up he gets all excited huffing and puffing and has got you just where he wants you!!! Gradually when you stop completely the dragon will go to sleep, sadly we can never kill him outright!! But the trick is not to wake him up again ha ha xxxx

My smoking dragon left me thank goodness.

classic Ha Ha

[TheOtherDragon in reply to Puffthemagicdragon]

for the benefit of those who like a laugh I had to come and look at this as puff was literally laughing his head off.

He said, first he wanted to put "my dragon left me" but the thought that people might think that I had left him!

Next, he was going to put "I have killed my dragon" then realised that was even worse!

Hence he put "smoking dragon".

I guess it was kind of funny!

[lizziec1 in reply to TheOtherDragon]

ha ha this is hilarious am soooo glad the dragon was killed ha ha lizzie

[lizziec1 in reply to lizziec1]

am laughing soooo much I got this wrong should have been sooo glad the dragon was not killed. oh god what a laugh1!!

[lizziec1 in reply to Puffthemagicdragon]

ha ha funny or what?

[lizziec1 in reply to Hidden]

You can also say out loud " I would love to have a smoke now, but I can't because I am a non smoker/I am not smoking today". It will help believe me .... you might feel a bit daft but who gives a toss? ha ha Fight the dragon hugs

Hi Lizzie

Great going! How about a 3 week cyber party tomorrow?

[lizziec1 in reply to Jemma]

yeah bring it on what a great idea

[Hidden]

Hi Lizzie

I have been trying to post you back for the last two hours, there seems to be a lot of problems,, then they wouldn't let me in untill I had to reset my password, nightmare.

My post to you then was, well done, enjoy your walk, take in the fresh air, and notice all the smells you had lost through smoking, some not so nice!! and don't forget to put a scarf round your mouth ect.ect, I was sounding like my mother!

I expect you are back from your walk now, so the above sounds irrelevant.

B.

[lizziec1 in reply to Hidden]

Thanks B, got delayed and haven't gone yet!! Yeah they seem to be updating this site I experienced probs too!!! Take care hugs to you x

[pollyjj]

You have a fantastic outlook on quiting, I think you inspirational.

Enjoy your walk.

polly xx

Well done Lizzie. I bet you can smell things more now and possibly things taste better too.

It didn't take long for me to be able to smell a smoker from 20 paces lol.

You are getting there YAY!

[lizziec1 in reply to Lynne1955]

How right you are god there was a woman in Sainsburys and the smell of smoke from her was minging. To think I used to smell like that no wonder my sons used to complain ..... and I loved it (smoking that is!) Following that episode, I ate a whole bag of soft apricots, a packet of crisps and a fairy cake ha ha xx

[libbygood]

Keep going Lizzie, day 21 tomorrow ! I'm amazed how much I dislike the smell of a smoker, and i used to be one.

Just for those of you who haven't read about the smoking dragon do read puff the magic dragons blog and the other dragon blog, this could start something pretty stupid, but very funny. At the moment my dragon is in a half way house !!!! ha ha
