Bad news first..... Have food poisoning and am feeling really, really poorly :(
My 8 year old is my nurse, feeding me that awful rehydration medicine (getting her own back she tells me for all he times I made her drink that stuff). As a result of being unwell we couldn't catch our train up north to spend some time with the family over half term (plus £100 wasted cos they won't refund it without proof of my illness - don't think they really want proof of this!!!)
Good news ...... Haven't used the e-cig or craved it or anything else since yesterday evening!

Thx both of you. Smoking is the least of my worries right now. I really need to eat something but can't face it yet so I'm just sipping on water to get through the day. Don't think I will ever eat fresh oysters again if this is what they do to you!!
Thx - yup in the past even when I was in bed with pneumonia (which is very painful) I could still get downstairs to smoke. I was very stupid indeed - cant see the attraction of smoking at all right now!
Only time I stopped 'cos of illness was 2008 and I stopped for 18 months then.
You must have been really ill!! Why on earth did you start again after such a long quit? Although I think it must be hard to be told you have to stop - much better to want to stop.

Oh I wasn't told that I had to stop - probably didn't explain very well.
Basically i had a really nasty throat infection - couldn't talk for a week, swallowing was agony and of course smoking was like inhaling fire :eek: so even though I wanted to there was no way I could smoke!! Anyway, my dad always hated me smoking so he sort of nagged me into not starting again when I was better and I agreed to - lasted a fortnight then smoked for about a week but stopped again 'cos I didn't want to disappoint my dad and he didn't know I was smoking again
Um and I started again 'cos I was feeling a bit rubbish, had a row with my dad and just thought "stuff it" and smoked a couple of fags - thought not smoking for so long meant I wasn't an addict any more and kept the rest of the pack for nights out and stuff, and by the time I realised I was hooked it was too late. I cried, a lot.
