And so the journey begins....

[nsd_user663_27255]

Woke up today on a great mood, had a lovely dream with Edward Cullen (twilight fans will understand my joy lol) had a couple of cigs while I got ready for work, knew I had a busy day and lunch with all the non smokers so I decided let's stick on a patch and see how it goes.

Morning went fine, then needed to go to the bank at the shop at lunchtime and thought mmm I could buy some cigs and have a quick one on my way back but then I thought nah I'll only stink the place out when I meet the team for lunch so I didn't, had a lovely lunch then went back to work.

Last thurs my doc told me about a smoking cessation group which takes place on a Monday night from 6-8, I was working till 6 so I thought I'll go have a nosey at what happens here. Finally a smoking program where people actually ask you about u and not just write you a prescription! It was great to see the mix of young and old within the group and listening to each other. Also had my first ever carbon monoxide test, that was a bit of an eye opener, my result was 2 which apparently is good , she said its prob cos I haven't smoked since this morning so it's great to actually see results and will look forward to seeing how he results change as time goes on. Was really glad I went

So 12 hours in and the journey has begun

One hr at a time, I can do this

:mad:Moo Cow, how dare you dream of Edward? take Jacob and leave us in everlasting peace (lmfao) :DI'm glad I'm not the only one who has these dreams, did you know I didn't know how to tell Roger Moore I was leaving him to move in with Jonathon Creek:p, for crying out loud, I should have been leaving Pierce Brosnan for Rupert Penry Jones;)! Well, at least you have the ciggie thing in your sights in real life, as I said before, baby steps, take itty bitty baby steps and you will be the other side of the horrid stuff before you know it, after all, why should you let your life be dominated by a tube of paper stuffed with leaves :rolleyes: and just think, you'll be far more attractive to those vampire types if they only get the pure aroma of the Spudster, untainted by tobacco smoke, yuck

Sounding positive Mrs M, just take it, as you say, one step at a time

Going to try a herbal tea, I've heard green tea is a good help, anyone tried this??

Peppermint tea is brilliant especially for settling tummies! The only green tea I like is with orange and that's with sweetener!!
