Good news and bad news....

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!

Aww that's nasty hun, I hope you're feeling better soon

Lol, it does sound like your little girl is enjoying her role though!!

Fab you haven't used your e-cig for so long though, that's brilliant, a silver lining and all that

*Gentle hug* xx

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!

It never crossed my mind not to smoke when I was ill - just used to moan about having to go outside to do it :/

If I had a bad cold or cough, then I just smoked menthols instead 'cos they "helped my chest" or so i thought.

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.

You poor thing! That must've been an awful feeling after such a long time! At least you know you CAN do it!!!!

Thanks hun It was a horrible feeling. Thought I could get away with it but realising I was addicted again was horrible.
