Hi, yes know exactly what you mean :( Everytime the sun comes out and its a weekend I still think a little too fondly of those al fresco wine and ciggie moments from past times :D

deep breaths and more beer :D

Yeah I know you're right max, the reality would be gross, but it's toying with my mind now, the whole just one scenario!! I know that is fatal and why previous quits have failed, but it's still taunting me!!! I know I won't do it and tomorrow is another day, just wanted to let off frustration!!!!!

Why oh why do we ever start!!!!

Flippin' good question hon!!! For me I know it was entirely down to wanting to offload the goody two shoes image and rebel - why couldn't I have just dyed my hair purple or something?!:mad::mad::mad:

how funny - that's exactly why I started too!

Nooooo Karen, a fag would taste rank now!!

Not as rank as throwing away a quit though - that feels so bad :(

Been there, done that and it took me nearly 3 years of smoking to stop again!!

Definitely not worth it hun!!

how funny - that's exactly why I started too!

Me three!!

I was a good girl (still am really) and all the cool girls smoked so I wanted to - plus my parents hate smoking (and *really* hated that I smoked) and I was allowed to drink so that was the only rebellion I could do!!

Crisis over, crave didn't last long. Well wasn't really a crave, just a niggling thought. Mostly I'm ok with drinks in the sun without a thought but yesterday just niggled at me, like I said, the reality would have been gross!!

I started as people I knew smoked and when you start drinking its a cool thing to do, and fags were cheap then!! Hopefully cost of ciggies these days will put anyone off starting!! Kids if you're listening DON'T DO IT!!!

Glad it passed for you Karen :)

Know the feeling where it just seems like a fag would be really nice even though the sane part of you realises it would be minging!!

They were relatively cheap when I started social smoking, around £3 for 20 I think.

Wish the price did put kids off, was talking to one of my mum's friends' 13 year old daughter (she asked me to 'cos she knew I'd quit) and it was just like talking to myself at that age. :/

Cor that's good Gem,if you can use your quit to help deter youngsters like her :D

Wish it had :(

Don't think it had much effect tbh :/

Think one of the girls at works is coming round though :D
