Can I just say.......

Dear Excellent Peeps

Many many thanks for all your messages. My first day is tomorrow and I have been severely and I mean severely wavering to the point where I convinced myself it was a BAD idea to give up. But coming on here has turned it around!!!

I have had a BAD day today - got some really stressing news about my children (they are both disabled). The children were going bonker doo dahs all day long - I have been screamed at continually, got food all over me, had my hands and face scratched, pushed off a stool, hair pulled and the list goes on. So when I had my odd ciggies I felt I deserved them ....... or did I????????

It is so much mind over the stick. It is a stick. How on earth can it stop my kiddie winks doing what they do?? It cannot - and five mins later when I return to my MAD house - it's just like the scene in Harry Potter three when the cleaner goes to the room in the pub place and gets blasted in the face - so no change. If it helped I guess I would be on 500 a day rather than 5.

My doc has always blahed on about the no smoking bit - but has then said look you are in a very difficult place and if the odd cigerrette gets you through it ....' But I want to go away to Centre Parcs in 5 weeks with my brrod and not have to smoke the nasty stuff couring in the BBQ area and ducking down so no one can see me. Anyone else been in that position???

So guys I was going to come on here and say 'I can't do it - at the moment'. But for me no time is a good time - there will always be a lot of stress so why put it off!!! I can do this - I have to. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU ALL - YOUR THREADS HELP MORE THAN YOU KNOW.
