I have done it!!

[nsd_user663_54332]

It's a silly thing that most people do without thinking, but tonight i have been out drinking without any nicotine whatsoever!!

No gum

No e-cig

No patch

Nothing!!

Am stupidly proud of that, and even more proud of the fact I was with smokers and didn't get any serious pangs as well - nothing I couldn't bat away anyway!!

YIPPEE thanks hon

I'm delighted, and very amazed!! (virtual hugs back)

Have been reading Allen Carr and somehow this evening it just clicked!!

I'm hoping to get off all kinds of nicotine really fast now

And a massive thank you to you for recommending the book Sarah, I owe you!! xxx

[nsd_user663_54332]

That's fantastic Gemma - chuffed to little mint balls for you!!!!:D:D

Aww thanks

It's hours since I had anything at all nicotine-y and even though I've had a drink or so am coping pretty well!!

[nsd_user663_54332]

Now that is seriously worth celebrating, hold on, will open a bottle and join you!

Woohoo, I'll open another one too

*Celebrates*

[nsd_user663_54332]

Well done Gemma Lou!!! You must be dead chuffed!!!!!!!!!!

YIPPEE Thanks Max

I'm chuffed and amazed - would never have thought this was possible even a few weeks ago, but i didn't even take my e-cig out with me!!

Bit risky, but I knew I wasn't going to smoke - the dummy would be my only downfall!!

[nsd_user663_4558]

You did well. I find the fagfart smell that follows the smokers quite offensive when they are close and shouting in your ear. I was out last week and took some nic-gum and like you I didn't use it. Feels good

[nsd_user663_42390]

Well done Gemma Lou! You should be proud, you have managed to kick that habit in to touch, so yes be proud. You can now enjoy yourself without worrying about fags and whether you will want one or not. You now know you wont!

[nsd_user663_53658]

Of course you should be proud of yourself Gemma Lou!!

Well Done honey, I bet it was a brilliant feeling knowing that you've won wasn't it?!

Proud Molly x

Well done Gemma -Lou !

Hope you have a great Easter.....although I don't think that you can buy pink wafer easter eggs

Thanks everyone, am really pleased with myself for having done it

I'm not quite off the e-cig yet, but will be very soon 'cos I hate the flipping thing. It's giving me a sore throat and it makes the lining of my mouth feel nasty :eek:

It just feels so good to be normal and not diving out for a fag every half hour like I used to on a night out!!

Dicko, yes the smell is foul, especially when someone's just had one and you can smell it on their breath and clothes *eek*

Lol Nonny, I wish they did make pink wafer eggs, am still well and truly hooked on them!!

[nsd_user663_54332]

Gemma

Take that pride wrap it up and carry it with you always

You dont need any chemicals.You were not designed that way.You are too young and too lovely to be hanging onto some chemical stick,Gods good clean air is all we need darling xx

Ooh I will Max

And thanks!!

Have beaten the sickorettes (love that name) now it's time to get off the nicotine xx

[nsd_user663_54510]

Great Stuff Gemma, well done!

[nsd_user663_54332]

Great Stuff Gemma, well done!

Thanks Tooshay

Think what inspired me was that the week before I slunk into the toilets to have some e-cig and it felt awful - and it made me realise it was only because I'm an addict, not 'cos I "enjoy it" or any of that rubbish.

[nsd_user663_54332]

You have this beaten sweet.

BUT

Don't pile pressure on yourself Gem.You can and will ditch this ecig,its likely that you will just forget to suck on it eventually,do not set yourself a target date to quit it just let it fade away cos it WILL.You have busted smoking real fags and that is a stunning victory,for the Ecig let it die gradually.Keep reading the books,realise that we are all just addicts really and it is nicotine that we are addicted to.We don't need that shite in our bodies.You will just decide one day that you can't be arsed to take it with you and it will lie in a draw,and be forgotten.

Aww thanks Max!!

I do want to be off it as soon as possible, it does feel like cheating (and in a way it is) and i hate *still* being an addict even though I'd rather saw my arm off than ever smoke again!!

Am hoping that my books and the support from people on here will get me off it permanently

[nsd_user663_54554]

Plenty of support Gemma-Lou, when you decide to "misplace" it for good loads of us will be right there for you.
