Omg what happened Woo? I don't come on here often these days but last time I did I remember you'd hit 6 months! Good for you for getting right back on it - counting on you for the Penthouse running club!!

Stay strong, you can do it xx

Oh, woo........I am so sorry to read this. These blasted attacks can come like a bolt from the blue........hateful, hateful things. :mad:

You are straight back into your quit, though, and that is good because it means that nicotine doesn't get the chance to get his claws back into you.

Roll up those sleeves and hit nic where it hurts!

Oh Chrissie, I am so sorry, I know you've been struggling for a bit now and have had some really sticky moments that you fought through valiantly but must have fallen at the last hurdle, next time you get the urge follow Max's advice, get on here and wait until you get two replies before you give up - you can so do this. Good luck

Thank you so much All...just now concentrating on feeling better. Do you think it will take long ?

At the moment suffering - palpitations, sore throat, lungs hurt. No cravings at all (yet) because I feel so rough.

:confused:

sorry did not explain what happened ?

If I look back at the moment - I was feeling very down upset and lonely. I am dreading christmas for reasons I don't want to go into but I adore christmas but it is very sad time for me. Each year I get to dread it earlier and earlier.

I was in my local shopping centre and on that day they had switching the lights on ceremony. It was lovely, reindeers, camels, Carols all the trimmings and it made me feel incredibly sad. It upsets me because I know exactly how I am going to feel and yet this feeling still manages to envelope me into a black cloud.

Well Nasty Nic was thee waiting for the pounce and he picked his moment to perfect precision. But I fought him hard for 4 hours after which he just wore me down to the ground

But now I am armed in my moments of madness, and sadness because IT DOES NOTN THE END MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER ! Yes you satisfy the cravings but that is not worth the pain after. No way. I have learnt the hard way but I have learnt.

Really sorry to read your story Woo.

That's just how nasty nic works though, he's always ready to spring to mind whenever we're feeling vulnerable about anything at all - he's just waiting for any excuse to convince us that he can make things better.

Like you though I have learned that he can't and that when we do give in to him it just makes us feel even worse.

I hope you feel better soon and I wish you lots of luck.x

Hi Woo!

I'm posting on this thread rather than your other one by way of encouragement. It's not like you're at a standing start with this, you've had many successful weeks without smoking so plenty of practice.

I was sad to read your news, but if I think about what you've written then I too would dread the cough, tight chest, painful body bits etc. I believe that I'd feel like I was slowly and painfully sinking in mud. I don't think your symptoms will last at all, a bit like food poisoning or a hangover, shouldn't last long...

So you've done the mock, passed with an A* and now it's time for the real thing. Hopefully this experience will launch you out of the starting blocks into the quit that lasts, stay strong and I wish you well x

Hi Hawkeye and thank you Linda

Yes maybe now this IS THE ONE maybe this will just make me even stronger, because I did feel so proud of what I achieved. I was not that heavy smoker but I was a smoker for a very very long time and to give that a boot felt so dam good !

I felt on top of the world, whenever I get so low that I feel I cannot cope I must find other comforts...maybe this site will be it.

Anyway, I feel like I am back with old friends and THAT makes me Smile

H e lllllo Debbie,

Yes I am sure I am not the only one at Christmas. It just seems to me that each year it gets bigger and bigger, the tv portrays the impossible perfect christmas which grates me so much ! It's all commercialism and I hate it !

I love the simple things, advent calendar, satusumas, christmas cake, homemade mince pies ! lol.
