Hi Greg :D

Yep you're having a trigger just one of the many but next time you spend time on the computer with a coffee it won't feel so weird Promise glad it's not bothering or upsetting you, but you know you can still go outside for a break you just can't smoke OK

Love

Yea I had one of those this evening!!

I just poured a glass of wine, partner having a cig and I thought hmmm whats missing out of this picture *strokes chin with finger and thumb* wellllll cant say it bothered me. Didnt want one. Just sort of different scenario but will get used to it. I will have to get used to it, no debating that one!!

Glad you got through your trigger, just shoot em down, oh dear puns terrible hehe:D

Glad you're staying strong, Greg!! Those craves are such a pain but each time you win, they get weaker.... the craves get worse though when you start to reminisce or mope..... take Marg's advice.... go out for a break.... don't deprive yourself.... breathe in fresh air and smile and remember a fag sure as heck doesn't make that break better..... the purpose of the fag was simply to feed your addiction. Stay positive!! :):)
