Well the good news is I have been awake for well over an hour now (Yes I got out of bed at 9 am, which is quite odd for me, normally go to bed at about 1am and get up at 6 to 7am).
Anyhow, getting back on track, I have been awake for over 1 hour, had a shower, shave, breakfast and done some work, and I have managed not to break like I usually do by now
So, all in all quite pleased with how things are progressing.
I cannot believe you went back to the evil weed... I was soooo jealous of you (but also very happy for you) when I folded back in June / July and you carried on so strong...
Hey these things happen though, hope nothing disasterous triggered the relapse.
Anyhow, get back on the no smoking train and we'll do it side by side again, like the good old days
I am going for the old Cold Turkey method again... To be honest I decided last night to have another go at giving up, so not very well planned... But seems to be working...
The Cold Turkey approach works well for me if I avoid tenuous situations... For example, I just walked into the house and my wife and son were having a shouting match, so I just turned around and walked out... Happy Happy Happy thoughts...
Well I've had enough already and am now going to get some smokes.
I think it would be good for us to give up together at the same time. What do you think? I haven't had a quit partner before? But apparently it helps...
If you're up for it, just let me know when you are planning on giving up and i'll join you.
And you should never feel ashamed of having a relapse and returning to smoking... If it was that easy to give up then there wouldn't be any smokers and we wouldn't be having this conversation...
LOL I just had one. I think we should give up together , now the hard bit-WHAT DAY IS GOING TO BE OUR QUIT DATE.I have to get myself geared up for it.I will get some patches on Tuesday so anyday after that.OH MY GOD are we ready for this.:eek: YES we can do this Gav.
Well the way I look at it is we done sooooo well last time (the best ever quit attempt for me) its the perfect plan, it'll work a peach.
Well in my opinion there is no point putting off the inevitable... So if you are going to have all your patches and bits Tuesday, should we have our last smoke Tuesday by midnight. So Wednesday would be our first day!!!!
What do you think? I am happy to fit in with your master plan...
If you enjoy music and want me to put some Youtube on for you on the General thread (YOUTube) then let me know - or pop it on yourself. Music sure is good for getting your spiritis lifted and feeling positive.
Tuesday is the last day smoking then... Looks like me and Barb are going for it... And to be honest with you all its probably better starting the no smoking life on Wednesday as its the 10th of October... Ohhhhh... 10th of the 10th 2007 ... 10/10/2007 (Now thats a nice date isn't it)...
And yes I am a freak, I like everything in my life to be just right and perfect, so the date does matter... I even considered waiting unit 8th August next year, 08/08/08 (Now that would be cool)...
Just to put things into perspective for you all, when my wife opens the windows in our bungalow, i'll walk around the outside and make sure they are all open by the same amount so they don't look mismatched... :eek:
As I said a freak... But a happy freak...
Anyhow, Wednesday is going to be the offical day 1 for both myself and Barb and I haven't got any excuses left, bungalow is now offically finished, work has been a nightmare over the last couple of months (non paying clients, still got one invoice thats 4 months over due, but thats nothing compared to last month :mad: ).
And we have just completed 4 projects ready for Christmas release, so work has settled down again (Always nice to start new projects).
So just call me "NO EXCUSES GAV"... However I have one big reason to stop smoking properly this time, I don't want to let Barb down. Oh two reasons, daughter due for arrival on the 7th of December... :eek:
Marvellous, always wanted a daughter, just hope she isn't a screamer... I took my son to school the other day and the girls were shreeking and the noise just shattered my skull... Hehehehe... I'm in trouble, I know it, you don't have to lie to me...
I also think plenty of posting on this forum will help also, it worked wonders for me last time in June. In fact this forum was the single reason I managed 21 days smoke free.
So expect alot of jibberish from me and if I post anything that offends anyone I apologize for that, but you all must remember...
"Even though something is sexist, it doesn't mean it isn't true"
That was a quote from my business partner, hehehe...
