Still here Wkd. Have to confess that I've had a couple of wee notions lately, but not strong enough that I couldn't resist. Whats happened to our wee team?
Can't say I am competely healed - i still think about it sometimes and even fancy having one occasionly - it is a hell of a lot easier to resisit though.
I am hoping and waiting for the day to arrive where I do not think about cigarettes at all from the instance i wake to the moment I sleep.
Keep going all.
Just to let you know - if I had continued to smoke since 18/03/08:-
I would have smoked 500 cigarettes and spent over £150.
I would still be able to only run 6 minutes before stopping instead of 35,
I would not enjoy my food as much,
Be unable to smell and appreciate fresh cut grass and spring in the air,
Would have been outside in the cold uncomfortable rain at least 3 times by now today alone to inhale an annoying controlling malicious deadly lethal drug,
Be coughing several times daily,
Smell awful,
Have yellow fingers,
Have a smelly car,
Be a slave,
Have a slavemaster,
Be controled instead of in control,
Have a goarote around my neck pulled and controlled by the whim of nicotine,
Be mentally weak,
Unable to make decisions clearly,
Be unable to concentrate fully for more than 30 mins.
there are still times when I want a ciggy - but than I know that I don't want one
strange thing - my body does not want it - my mind does not want it either - so I gather it must be my subconsciousness
and this subconsciouness must be convinced that I don't want to smoke
I think this is one of the good things of thei forum that we constantly read this message that smoking is bad - like that it can sink down and get roots

sorry for rambling
Ramble away sunny and well done on getting over 5 weeks.Congrats to those at six weeks.
Am also here, 6 weeks and 1day , oh no, just 6 weeks as put my no smoking clock back a day because I did have a blip after 2 weeks!!! I still have my very occasional thoughts about smoking but wouldn't put one in my mouth again. I feel so much more free. Was working today with a smoking colleague in an office and she popped out a few times and couldn't wait to have one on the way home from work etc.....
My food is tasting much better and I have actually cut down on my wine intake, thats the good news....... however, food is another thing, all my belts have been put into storage as they are not needed now as can hardly do my jeans up let alone them come down because i haven't got a belt on!!!!
Anyway, everyone is doing really well on here and this forum has helped me soooooooooooo very much and am grateful to everyone on here.
When I say I have cut down, I need to!!!! I am trying desperately to keep with the medical safety limiits monday to friday anyway after that its weh hey!!! I haven't gone of wine, and I agree with you it tastes so much better, i've just cut down a wee bit, gone is that glass of wine whilst cooking dinner and with my dinner.
Have you noticed any weigt increase, my belts have been made redundant!!!!
i think we have all noticed that our clothes are getting tighter. It is the tailor fairy going round all our houses and evilly taking in all of our trousers etc !!!
There have been many threads on the subject of our weight gain.
I believe that the general consensus is that we should all buy a Nintendo Wii and get the Wii Fit board to help us lose weight.
bugger i really should have gone for commission on this one!!
Well done everyone on ur 6 weeks - must admit i exchanged evening smokes for a slug of tia maria and coke! just to take the edge off u understand lol but that has stopped too now - boring old crone now
