Hi all

I have had a bad day today.Day 17 and no smoking. Feel angry, sad, just generally cheesed off.

Think i will have an early night and hopefully feel better tomorrow.

Will have a long walk with the dog in the morning and hopefully blow a few cobwebs away, Thank heavens for my lovely dog Megan.

Back soon to tell you all i,m feeling better, hopefully. Night Night all. :(:confused::mad::

Hi Joy

Sorry you've had a bad day - it does get better - promise :) Exercise is a good distraction and I found a bit of fresh air helps with the bad days. Hope you have a good nights sleep and wake feeling refreshed and ready for day 18 :D

Hi Joy,

Sorry you have had a bad day. Life thows us good & bad days wether we smoke or not. Just seems more noticeable when we quit. Try & train your mind to think that it is nothing to do with the quit just normal life. takes the onus of the quit then. re train your brain. Thats what its all about me thinks & learning lol. G xx

Hello Joy,

I hope today is a better day for you. I definitely find going out walking helps and hopefully it helped you yesterday. Keep going - 18 days is fantastic. How are you doing it? Cold turkey, NRT, other?

Hi Pookie

Thanks for your message. I have had a great day today just as you promised.

Couldn't walk the dog as rained all day but didn't dampen my spirits, excuse the pun.....

Had my gorgeous grandson with me for the day (whos 2) had great fun and keep me very busy. He is my reason for giving up the weed, i want to see him grow up and maybe see his children one day. Anyway hope you had a good day too and speak again soon. :D:)

Hi Joy

Glad you had a much better day - mine was so-so as I had to work :(

Unfortunately you have to have the odd bad day to really appreciate the good ones. Your grandson was probably chuffed to have a sweet smelling nan looking after him and I'm sure thinking of him will kep you going.

Stay strong you're doing great :)

Hi again

Thanks for the message, thats just what i was thinking when i took myself off to bed last night. Just because i smoked i wasn't always upbeat and happy. Life throws you different problems and you just have to get on and deal with them. Had a good night sleep and woke feeling much better. Haven't wan't a cigg all day and feel so much better. Yay. Looking forward to another good day tomorrow. Hope you have a good day too. Speak again soon. Thanks again. xx:D:)

Hi Siana

Have had a much better day today. Couldn't walk the dog as been pouring down all day. My grandson came around though who is 2 and the light of my life. Had great fun and keep me very busy. Bless him.

I am giving up using Champix but found the side affect awful so only take one half about mid morning now and seems to be much better now. Just trying to keep the eating under control and not to put on too much weight.

Thanks again for your message. This site defo helps me. Hope you had good day too. Speak again soon. x:):):)
