I'm still here. Plodding away really find mid week hardly a problem. Now I'm at my usual conundrum of what to do at weekend. Avoid booze? Go out? Or not? I've actually really loved the past 2 weekends, even though I've had tough moments wanting to smoke, I've been fresh and active and busy doing 'stuff' rather than be binge drinking and hungover!
Hope you are all still doing well

I've also posted a moany weekend related thread! I find it soooo hard but the trick is to keep busy. I am also not drinking, but that's just me. I think I'm turning to pizza and crisps instead...
Well I've got my weekend planned out now I think...
My boyfriends finishing early so we re going to go to the shops to get ingedients for a nice dinner! Somethin fresh but fast! And most likely a bottle of wine
Tomoro I'm meeting my bessie early bells for a gym swim n sauna sesh(plus loads of gossiping!) I've got a roofer coming late tomoro afternoon(don't ask grrrr!) Most likely chill with my man again tomoro evening. And sunday ill go visit my gran, spend a few hours up there and hopefully get fed! Ooooo looking forward to a lie in already :-). I still need to get the INSIDE of my car cleaned - it STINKS of smoke(I pulled the ashtray bit down once and all the ash came out ). Will try do that too there's loads of those valet places in glasgow wash inside and out for like 5 quid...bargain!
I'll need to read all the posts see how everyone is getting on. I'm in such a groove just coping so well. Still eating more....but I think I've curbed that slightly. Curbed...not sure if that is the correct word lol I'm forever making up words! I do feel fat, which I hate, and I'm like am I fat or is this just a feeling...but I'm too scared to go on the scales! I am not one for scales!
You are so possative Sarah......how do you do it......I think it is your plan as I have run head long into the weekend without one.......and my mind is getting suspicious....... help.....
I've lost that bustling energy I had, that vigour and enthusiasm I had about yeah I'm quitting. I'm just quietly plodding along now. I get little praise, no pats on the back, no one says your doing great! Apart from on here!!!! So I'm just in a groove ramasus...just going with the flow...I've done most of my 'first times' that are in my day to day life. I no longer want that fag as soon as I switch off my alarm. No longer want that fag after my dinner. No longer want that fag after exercise....gross isn't it, but after a workout I used to light up in the car on the way home ewwwww yuk! I can be around smokers, quite like it, wouldn't say I enjoy it. But when I go out at the fag break I kind of like being out and I smell the smoke, not to enjoy the smell, more like, I can't describe...but I smell it and think....that just smells like smoke! And I kind of enjoy just noticing the smell - weird I know!
Just keep doing what your doing cos your doing a grand job. Weekends are tough but hopefully your other half is around this weekend...so it won't be as hard for u. I know certainly I'm finding this friday night...easier than my previous 2...and I am having a wine or two....this is getting easier! I'm still on the gum...but not much.
We ve made is soooo far ramasus...I think we re both on the same day! So we need to keep doing this together!!! Stick with me buddy!
It really beggars belief doesn't it max!!! Lighting up after a work out!!! I really had this work hard-play hard attitude before! Do you know what...I quite liked playing hard....cos I do work hard...and my life at present is possibly a bit too clean living! But its good for now! Good to see u still here max xxx
Sarahgum.......thanks for your reply.........I am not one for many words but yours have stopped me in the tracks.......and reminded me to the beautiful life without smoking.....booze at the weekends is not good for me but it is my only vice now and it certainly works against my main objective to quit......
I find it easy during the week but mega difficult at the weekend........
I cannot thank you enough for hearing your positive nature......it has sobered me up and stopped the nagging thoughts in my head......
As we say in glasgow...nay borra!!! You keep me going too!
Where's sherri btw....she's not posted for a while....hope she's just managing ok....I am less reliant on this forum...hope she's the same. Fingers crossed
