oh last night was horrible. It was really testing me and i nearly gave in
I had trouble finding things in my house and it really really stressed me out. I had to stop and count to ten a few times and in the end I phoned my other half to rescue me.
He took me out of the situation and to tescos where I brought a nice new jumper with dogs on. I would have probably spent the same if I went to the pub and brought cigarettes.
Looking back at last night I am really proud of myself for doing the right thing.
Hope everyone is well today

Believe me you would have felt lousy if you'd smoked - £8.30 on something stinky? Not a good deal but a nice jumper is - and the feeling of having beaten a nasty crave!!
Hi Princess, congratulations for resisting temptation, in the early days of my quit my OH had no problem leaving his tobacco, papers etc within sight, together with living in a maisonette over a convenience store I have no idea how I managed those first few weeks - but, it is doable, this is going to sound stupid but, you have to focus whilst distracting yourself at the same time :confused: I can heartily recommend 30 seconds of fast running on the spot/jumping jacks, if you're as unfit as me you will be so puffed out for a couple of minutes that by the time you've got you're breath back you've forgotten all about that craving, water the plants, brush your teeth, punch some pillows, scream, shout or even just log on and have a read of the joke thread, that got me through some real tough moments, Max always recommends logging on and putting out an SOS if you feel you're going to give in, wait for two replies, they won't take long, someone is always on hand to help - Keep going Princess, this is for you and you deserve more nice clothes
So I still cant find the things I was looking for last night. Abit annoying and getting abit hot. I decided to have a cough sweet, which seemed to calm me down. I wonder if there is a hidden NRT in it :rolleyes:
I just got back to work and decided to phone up to get a new card for the gym which is one of the things i misplaced last night. So thats one less thing to worry about now. I can go to the gym tonight yeaaayy
It's the sucking action hun, lollipops and gum are good for that too!!
Don't know how much you smoked but I really missed having something to do with my mouth early on, ended up going through one of those big boxes of Extra a day :eek:
