God that weekend was tough… it had FAR TOO MUCH PUB IN IT!
Friday night was fine, Saturday was a little tetchy, Sunday went for a walk and had some lunch, then ended up in the pub…. Had to leave in the end, was fed up of my OH rolling up in front of me then going out with the smokers while I sat there on me tod.
It was kinda funny listening to the smokers justifying themselves – ‘the thing is, I enjoy smoking’ – for a little bit, then the novelty wore off and I got really tetchy. Thank goodness I had my inhalator with me, even if everyone did take the piss…
At this rate, I’ll have to break up with my bf and get a whole new bunch of friends. Or just avoid the pub a lot more successfully than I did this weekend. Actually feel quite relieved it’s Monday!
Still, I got through it, I guess that’s the main thing. How’s everyone else doing? Onwards and upwards! :rolleyes:

Congrats for getting through the week! I avoided the pub this weekend and tried to keep busy. I'm arriving at a strange sort of place at the moment - a bit stressed, bored and miserable. I know a fag won't make this any better so that's one good thing:). I had a bit of a frightening thought that as I couldn't remember a time in my life when I wasn't controlled by cigarettes, maybe this is me without them :eek: I'm starting to taste the inhalator which on the one hand shows my taste is coming back but on the other leaves a fairly unpleasant twang in the back of my throat. I think I might go and buy something in the hope it might kick start my week
Ah Al, stressed bored and miserable pretty much sums up my weekend!
Mark - good to see you're still here! I've got that weird feeling too - and the dreams have started up again. Annoying, but it's good to wake up and realise that I didn't really smoke... I know it will pass, eventually!
Back at work today, so very busy which is taking my mind off smoking - good.
I am having trouble at night, i go into the kitchen just before i go to bed and walk to the back door to get my cigarettes - they are not there. I then have a moment or few of grieving, gasping, wishing, craving, whatever you want to call it, before raiding the kids sweet tins instead.
That is the only constant craving i have had from day one, and finding it a hard one to crack.
But that sounds too negative so i have cracked it, and i will carry on cracking it until it goes away!!
Good to see you are all coping. Things right themselves as the weeks go by i promise.. eventually you'll get to the point where you insist that the BF rolls up in front of you, folk smoking around you will be more a case of 'each to their own, and i just choose not to'... and folk will be that used to seeing you succeed with your quit that even the jabs at your inhilator will stop and be replaced by admiration for your success.
Folk change .. so does your quit.. see how things go yet.. just keep on resisting the temptations, and you will definitely see a much brighter you along the way too.
