Thanks Shojam. Well this is it. Just got up and even being here on the computer I just found myself reaching for something that isn't there. I can see that I'm going to spend quite some time arguing with the demon. Well time to start busying myself and changing my routine. No lounging whilst watching the news with coffee and cigarettes. Thanks once again :)

Good luck Anne and Viking :)

You have both quit before so you know how the song goes.

This time, make sure you've cleaned the fluff off the needle or the dust off the CD to make sure that it doesn't jump, stick or blip again :D

Once you get there only one lyric matters, sing after me...

"Not one puff ever (again) la, la la, la la!

Goodluck

Annbrown- I too had that reaction strange how your mind puts things together, Anyway i am on the inhaler and i felt it helped take the mind off it all now i can happily sit for hours on computer and not thing "oh i need a cig" maybe its worth a try?

All the best

So far so good with breathing easy. Temper hasn't flared yet but its only 2pm here... Luckily I am working alone tonight. Not too scared until the threes come about, 3 days was hell last time, 3 weeks, and 3 months. Not sure why, but now its in my head to worry about those time frames. Thank you for all the kind words of encouragement! Ann, you are doing great! We are definitely awesome right now. New forum thread room tomorrow! Yippeeee!

For Odin,

Vike.

You shouldn't be worried about the number 3 or its multiples if you like Odin and Norse mythology Viking.

Take a look...

Lol, you are right, I have the triskele tattoo on my back, and the three horns of Odin also. Maybe I will have to change my thoughts around a bit. Perhaps I should see the threes as challenges worth completing, and worthy of some thick mead afterwards! Yep, thats the plan now. Bring it 3's. I could use a drink.

Well done AnnBrown and Viking. Keep strong and positive, keep busy, and the time will travel.

All the best to you both on your quits.

Been bouncing a plastic pop bottle off my work desk for a good hour now... thinking I should probably go for a walk outside. Here alone, which is very boring and would usually be spent pretty much lighting one smoke off another due to having little to do. Still going strong, 5 hours left of work, 6 hours total until I can sleep and call day 1 a memory. Trying to focus on getting stoked for working out starting Monday. Stay strong everyone.

Well done both of you, here's to day 2

You sure you don't work for the Scottish Councils? ;o)

I've just done day 3 and it was no worse than day 2. Better indeed! Lack of concentration for work is a problem though.

I'm reading a book just now by Joanne Harris called Runemarks and Odin features heavily in it (well he did in the last book and I'm expecting him to come back from the dead in this one). Is strange how life just falls into place.

Me, I'm related to the druids here in Scotland.

Good luck with your long-overdue quit.

I'll have to check that book series out sometime. 3 Days looks good on you btw, 630pm here now, switched pop bottle for miniature finger skateboard. Perhaps I should look for a job in council someday if my present one gets any less boring, haha.

Vike.
