All good here

[nsd_user663_2614]

Im good

Yesterday morning was quite a bugger because i went to bed without putting my patch on and didnt realise till i had a craving not long after waking up, then i had to shoot over to a friends and i was half way there before realising i still hadnt put a patch on. It scared me knowing that i hadnt got one on but as soon as i got home about 2pm i did put one on. :eek:

[nsd_user663_2861]

Good morning everyone!

I feel good today, and I hope you all do too!

Day 17 - aren't we clever!! hee hee!!

Have a great smoke free day!! x

[nsd_user663_2867]

Morning all, doing fine here as well.

May be off line for a few days.

A good friend has asked if Anna and I would like to go stay with her for a couple of days. Hubby will be at work all weekend, so think I might just do that.

She lives in a wee cottage, up in the Mourne Mountains, has some goats,chickens ducks etc. Anna would have a ball.

Let you all know later.

[nsd_user663_2892]

Well done you lot!!!!! Have a lovely day!

[nsd_user663_2861]

You too Barbara - keep strong! Day 3 for you isn't it?? Woohoo! Excellent!

Hunter.. I just read last night's posts... are you feeling happier today? I hope so! This thing is gonna bite us on the ass when we least expect it for sometime I think! At least we're prepared! Hope today is better for you!

Aw... I completely feel for you Pete.. as you know I was the same (days 9,10 & 13) - it's a really weird feeling and one you have to just ride with I think - but let me tell you - get to the other side of it and you will feel great - I have felt soooooooooooo good since Sunday!!

Don't give in no matter how low you feel - it'll just make you feel ten times worse - and then you'll have to go and kock on Day 1's door again and I reckon that will really get ya back up! They won't welcome you! You'll be a mis-fit.. so don't bother! Stay here!

Hang in there - it will DEFINATLEY pass!

((((Hug)))) Sarah

[nsd_user663_2867]

It will definately pass. I've found the trick with me is to keep busy, really really busy.

I've been having some strange thoughts, for instance.

"You've been a really, really good girl, you should have a reward for not smoking". "ok, I know, I'd like a cigarette as a reward, thank you very much"!!! Eh!!!

I'm also not even thinking about the long term, because the thought of never, ever having another smoke in the whole of my life, I'm sorry to say, makes me feel a bit depressed, so it's just a day at a time for me - so today I won't smoke, I'll deal with tomorrow when it comes.

Just feels like there is a very important part of my life that isn't there anymore - I don't know any other wAy to describe it.

Think it's a definate psycological addiction, not so much a physical one!

Sorry for the ramble, hope some of it makes sence!!!

It does make sense as I have been feeling the same way. Thought it was just me being silly!!!

[nsd_user663_2861]

It makes perfect sense, I feel the same too Annasmummy! It's weird, and hard to describe when you feel like it, but then other days you feel great and don't feel the need to anylise / think about it all so much! Odd eh! I think too I would like a fag as a reward - whaaaaaaaaaaaaat!!? Not right!! :confused:

Mojo-jojo / Annasmummy.... you two - don't you even think about leaving me! Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!! I need you! I need all of us.. we've all come SO far - I've never felt pride like it before (how sad does that sound?!, No kids though so can't compare it to anything major!).. you guys really keep me going - stay with it- we're team 428 after all!!!! Mojo-jojo, you CAN'T quit ya quit now, I won't let you! :D

[nsd_user663_2291]

Whats going on here none of you can give in now. Please take it from me you will regret it. I have been quitting now since sept and I will not go back to day 1 again.

Come on you can do it. We all have bad days but tomorrow will be loads better.

Go on Youtube and look at all the disgusting smoking vids. OMG the mouth cancer ones are gross. You wont want to smoke then.

[nsd_user663_2614]

Go flippy

You dont want to go anywhere guys, stay with us

[nsd_user663_2867]

I'm not going anywhere!

Honestly I've no intentions of smoking!

Just letting you all know how the old evil nic nic is playing with my brain(what little there is of it).

Don't worry I wouldn't dream of letting Team 428 down!

Flippy don't worry - don't need to look at the Youtube vids - I'm sure like lots of others on here. I'm already half convinced I've got lung cancer, mouth cancer, throat cancer, emphysema, hardening of the arteries,heart disease etc etc!!!!

I won't be smoking

[nsd_user663_2866]

[nsd_user663_2291]

[nsd_user663_2861]

Wicked.. all still "in"! Isn't it cool we're all so NOT gonna let each other down!! Team 428 rock!!!

Hope everyone feels much better / happier tomorrow!

Sleep well all!

[nsd_user663_2325]

OMG you lot have got such strength. It is really good to read all your posts so us in our little day 3 team can know what to expect. I have tried so many times in the past and it is always that feeling that drags me back. I am going to a least try to follow in all your footsteps, though I may have to steal a bit of your strength. Hope you dont mind. lol

[nsd_user663_2291]

Lou, getting support from a forum like this is just the best. I have made some really good freinds and I am sure i will remain freinds with them long after i have forgotten about ever smoking.

You can do it just think positive. xx

[nsd_user663_2861]

ha ha Louby Lou.. You crack on and take just what you need!! Just hang in there.. your doing suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuper well!! It's nice to see you being so positive & back on track again!! Stick with it - it really DOES get easier (I never thought I'd hear myself saying that!!) ((HUG))
