Keep going Donna, I find the weekends can be a bit like that, but you've not come through all this just to give in now, there's nothing worse than being skint, but away put Ant and Dec on they always cheer me up x

Oww Donna, I wish I could be better help, but I am also a bit down myself!....I had a terrible week, any given day this week...I was out of my mind with stress!...and that's why I haven't been here much...Donna, are you stressed or down...or both? PM me if you wish, I'll be more than happy to try to help

Hi Donna,

I'm with Jess, weekends are hard. I read loads of stuff on why quit last night while watching comic relief on telly to help me get my head right. I was a bit like what's that all about for a Friday night but It worked for me and today just feeling grateful to be doing it because it is still better than smoking forever and I'd probably be up and down anyway. I tried one of the you tube fitness things Incy posted... Hilarious think I'll do a you tube of my efforts it may go viral.

Bless you AnnMarie - it's really REALLY hard isn't it? I was shaking at the end of it today.

Donna, you've nearly done three weeks, try and focus on that massive positive. Your signature has been a bit of a mantra for me - it keeps running round in my head, and I've found it really helpful Love and strength everyone x

My heart goes out to ya!!! We all have tough days...I'm only day 4/5 but middle of wk I could of murdered (a certain) somebody and it was making me feel so low too! Just try relax, focus on your successes so far and enjoy a pj wkend n watch some bad tv! Dont forget how well you're doing and each little battle has made you stronger big hugs! (and rant, whinge moan as much as ya need!!!) Xx

alleycat you just made me laugh LOL i remember not long ago posting that all I want is to kill someone...slooooowly....LOL

I'll be banned for the homicide thoughts

I strongly believe the reason why I am still quit is because I do not want to go back the first weeks...so hard!

Donna, feeling any better?...I would put sponge bob on the telly and a nice hot choco, blanket on the legs and that's that done! ...I do realize that only works for me.

Sending you a big hug!

Donna it's true wkends are so much harder. I have had a relatively easy quit but I do struggle over the wkends.

I try and keep myself occupied but there is only so much you can do. Keep at it were all doing great.

Donna....any better today darling? We are all with you on this... xxx

[nsd_user663_63114]

yes, hope you having a better day and not a plopping one x

[nsd_user663_2681]

Hi all, today a bit better, I am lounging in my bed on the iPad while my hubby and daughter cook a lovely big roast which they will also wash up, I shall devour it with copious amounts of wine :)...... If carlsberg did Mother's Day........ Have a good one to all the forum mummies xx

[Hidden in reply to nsd_user663_2681]

That sounds great Lovely to hear from you, you had me worried for a bit huuufff!

we went out for lunch (mothers day), I ate so much that I dont think I will be thinking of food for the next few weeks LOL

Happy mothers day to all the mammys around here

[nsd_user663_63724]

Sounds fab!!!! Enjoy!!! Xx

[nsd_user663_58050]

So well done for staying with this. Try and remind yourself of why you quit as it's so easy to get lost in all the negatives our minds throw at us. And weekends are hard, at least the early ones I recall from last time I stopped. This is my first weekend this time, and I'm just having to be easy on myself. Lie ins both mornings, chocolate and other sweet stuff, mooching in front of the TV when I don't have any commitments. I need to get the garden ready for Spring................maybe next weekend :rolleyes:

As far as being skint goes, a work colleague told me that since he stopped smoking he doesn't spend any money at all on a work day, at least as far as routine stuff goes -lunch is part of our work contract. I'm thinking that I would like to rise to that challenge. Beats the £14 I could spend before I'd even walked through my office door - £9 for cigarettes, £1.50 bus fare, £2+ coffee and a small bite to eat.

Donna......

[nsd_user663_2681]

im here to stay, there's no doubt on that I have to do this, I keep on trying and trying something has to click just going to keep at it and keep reminding myself of NOPE, that is now etched in my brain lol xx

[nsd_user663_63277]

Well done Donna,

I'm glad that you have beaten it this time, and I know you will be around for a long way to come

[nsd_user663_4609]

How you doing today? Better I hope for the weekend being over? You can't go back to cigs anyway as selfishly being a week in front I like stalking you and I know you will organise a fab party for me when I get to the penthouse ...so there x

[nsd_user663_2681 in reply to nsd_user663_4609]

Ha love this I'm still hanging on

Ali it's probably my hardest attempt yet which is odd but I am DETERMINED to make it stick this time, even tho I feel I can't xx

[nsd_user663_4609]

I keep waiting to wake up and not want to buy fags...I seem to be thinking of doing it more not less but I won't...seeing it as a marathon not a race...ironic as I hate running...x

[nsd_user663_58050]

I have to agree with you Donna and Ali. This is my hardest quit, and I'm taking champix. I believe it's because it has to be my final quit and that is weighing heavily.
