Wow, self indulgent pant on own back and a high-five for one I've only gone and done a ruddy week. More to the point I've done a week and no one has died. How exciting!
Haven't had any physical side effects yet, they'll be saving themselves for when I least expect it.
Good night everyone, I'm off to practice my Mexican wave for one.
i would join in your mexican wave if i could , well done 
No sharing as it's a Mexican wave for one ... but I'm more than happy to clap from the side lines.
Not wanting to go through that first week again was part of the stews ingredients that made me continue with quitting.
Good on ya :cool:
Congrats Mr White,
Your attitude and sense of homour is very much welcomed here I think. We all post when we are down with our quits of course, that is what the forum is about but a zany sense of humour fits us all.
Looking forward to many more updates and laughs.

Congrats Mr White - one whole week done and dusted. Yayyyyy
Well done Mr White - self indulgent pants on one's back would be a new sympton of quitting on me....
I really should just own up to my iPhone based typo, but I'm not going to.
In my culture, whenever you do something good it's custom to walk around wearing the 'pants of celebration' on your back for 24 hours.
Right now I'm observing this custom wearing a slightly grey pair of Y-Fronts with the elastic worn out on my back.
Thank you all for your kind words, this place has been great for taking my mind off things when I'm having a slight moment,
Thats a long name for a customer

Thank you for pointing out my error.
:mad:
As was that! Oh silly internet and your horrible ability to make silliness appear nasty.
Maybe it was the grumpy face?
Trust me, I'll never get grumpy with anyone on here.
If I'm every going to take my frustrations out on someone it will be in real life... There's no point in doing it if you can't see them cry.
Well done on the week Mr White!
Please keep posting, haven't laughed so much in a long time. Although the visual imagery of faintly grey y-fronts... No sorry I can't go there, it's almost supper time!!!
Don't worry, no plans to stop posting. Hopefully Karri will forgive me for the misunderstanding earlier, as the first person to reply to one of my posts she's my favourite.
May not be around much this weekend due to the fact I've agreed to go camping. Not sure why as am the least outdoorsy person in the whole world. Still have taken my usual approach of throwing money at a problem and between the partner and I we've spent about £200 on camping equipment. Hopefully it'll be a laugh, but if it's naff at least I'm miles away from any shops so temptation won't be an issue.
Must remember to pack my self indulgent pants.
Morning all, Day 9 has started and as I'm not working I'm laying in bed trying to deal with a massive craving! Sneaky bugger crept up on me from nowhere, hopefully will be gone soon.
My partner, who has been working away all week, is back and working from home today. If it gets too bad I can scream things like 'I'M DOING THIS FOR YOU, YOU (Insert appropriate swear word)' or throw things at his head until it passes.
Should be fun.
If i can do this - you bloody well can!
do anything ( try not to throw things - thats how accidents happen), and have a bonus spray (not in eye) -how bout some nice food, or more sleep - whatever.
o - and if you smoke - ill send the kids round to throw things at you - and ill pay them to motivate.
sure youll be feelin fine - in ten mins
keep goin

I brought this especially for you :
Sorry
Hope you and other half have a great week-end camping x x x
Aw. I don't have any cute pictures, but if you close your eyes and imagine a puppy hugging a kitten then that's the kinda vibe I'm going for with my sorry.
Am sure camping will be fine, I know every hotel within a 5 mile radius so all is good!
Daizy, I'm quite enjoying the relationship of mutual threat that's developing between us. Neither of us can smoke through fear of destruction from the other, it's brilliant and it works.
I think it would save the NHS a fortune on NRT. Everyone who goes to the doctor for quit help is given a big stick and is paired with another quitter. If anyone has a blip they get a kicking from their quit buddy. It's simple but highly effective!
Well done you on Day 9
Jesus, camping sounds like a nightmare for me, I would miss all my home comforts too much. I think I would probably complain the whole time and then my other half would have to gag me
Well, enjoy, each to his own. And stay off them fags
Ugh, back and have learnt I'm not a natural outdoorsman. Need to shower for 16 hours and then have a little mooch and see how everyone is getting on.
So you're back Whitey, and have lived to tell the tale 
Welcome back Mr W. If the weather up your way is anything like it is here on the south coast you'll be de-rusting before you shower. Good weekend to choose to learn about the big outdoors!!
Trust you were smoke free?
Hello! Still stink of outdoors, but feeling slightly better than I did earlier!
Very easy to remain smoke free in a field in north Wales, no shops for miles! Also, if I did try to smoke I would have failed anyway. Can't smoke in the tent due to it being uber-flammable and can't smoke outside when IT WON'T STOP BLOODY RAINING!
Still it wasn't too bad, food was an adventure as were the personal hygiene facilities. Would tell you more but keeping it family friendly.
Main thing is another weekend out of the way, no one has died and I'm heading into day 12 tomorrow with, at worst, a mild case of trench foot.
sounds like an adventure lol
Mr White, you're going to be more Mr Mould-Green if you try that again in a hurry. It's like Noah's effing flood at the moment, what were you thinking?
Still, if you can get through an experience like that without having a soggy wilting cigarette dangling from your lips, you're on the right track.
Congratulations, keep going!

Ahhhhh day 12 we meet at last!
Was so happy to wake up in a bed inside an actual building this morning that smoking wasn't the first thing I thought of. Have found one upside to the camping!
Have realised over the weekend that my one month point falls the evening before I go on holiday. Have never done a long hall flight as a non-smoker, so am looking forward to not fighting to to be first off the plane. Will needto blow all money saved so far at duty-free! Can't spend it on smellies due to skin allergies. So when I get back I will be moving into my new house made of booze and giant toblerones.
It feels good to have an objective. When I hit the 12 month mark will have a party where my new house will get eaten/drank.
Happy Monday everyone! It's only going to get more random from here
Happy Monday kiddo - another weekend done and dusted, praise the lord
Ooooh it all just flies by doesn't it. It'll be 10 years done before we know it.
I retract my wishes of a happy monday to everyone. Today is officially grumpy monday. I seem to ache all over today. I'm not sure if it's camping related, due to the fact I had a weird sleeping patern over the weekend or if it's a delayed reaction to the quit.
Regardless of what's causing it I'm not keen and would like it to stop please. I've got a meeting to run this afternoon and I fear for everyone attending.
(As I was about to submit this post I realised that at no point have I considered having a cigarette will cure any of my ills. Despite being in an arse of a mood apparently my resolve is still there. Result!)
Now go away, I'm far too busy and important.
Lol Mr White,
I am sure the aches will be down to the wet camping conditions and the fact that it is MONDAY doesn't help :eek:
Glad to hear you haven't thought about smoking, that would just be wrong
Am only on day 3 myself but feeling good and strong.
Don't froighten the staff in your meeting this afternoon lol.

Well yesterday was mostly horrible. Other half did cook me a very nice dinner which cheered me up quite a bit. He knows how to calm me down!
Had a better night's sleep so am hopefully going to be much less grumpy today, was having a few 'go on, treat yourself and buy some fags!' type wobbles this morning but managed to ignore them in the end.
Here's to day 13, may it be wonderful for everyone.
My brain is being a bugger today. Am in generally chipper mood, got loads of work to be getting on with so am constantly busy, however I do keep getting the 'Go and get some fags, you deseve a treat,' thoughts going through my head.
I think it's partly to do with the fact that my partner is away tonight, so if I did it I wouldn't get 'caught.'
Am having an argument with myself over the fact I'm actually quitting for me, not him so it doesn't matter if I get caught or not, I know I've smoked so I've failed myself.
It's all quite irritating to be honest, as I said, I've got stuff to be getting on with!
Am going to continue to ignore myself throughout the afternoon. I've no reason to leave the office at all for the rest of the day, then I'll leave to go home at the last possible minute so I'm not tempted to stop off on the way to the train, then get a mate to meet me from the train.
If I can't trust myself, I'll have to set something up so the wobbles don't win!
Don't give in whatever you do - that's the sort of day I had yesterday (my day 13 too funnily enough). My every waking moment was about smoking and I was so depressed, it was terrible. But I stuck with it and woke up this morning feeling elated that I didn't give in. Today, I'm fabbo again, not thinking about smokes at all. We will have these days come and go and we're gonna have to stay strong and remind ourselves they'll get fewer and farther between. You can do it mucker
Agreed!!!!!!!

totally agree Gaynor.
Keep up the good work -Its good to read your posts Mr White.....Best Wishes.....douglas.j
Mr White how are you this morning? I hope you got yesterday over you as I had the same sort of day on Monday and it nearly drove me insane x
*Sad Wave*
Hello everyone! Just about hanging in there. Throwing myself into work today, don't have to attend any meetings so am being left to it. Partner is home tonight so less chance to sit alone and mope.
After today it's two weeks in the bag which I imagine will mean a big transformation and everything will suddenly be ok and wonderful.
Can't wait!
Mr.White.
Are you alright.....?????...Didnt see you post on Week 3.I do hope its just a question of broadband problems as opposed to nicotine problems
Minnie welcome to week two
Wierd thoughts in week 19
Dynamic Trio - 5 weeks!
