Smokers never like it when someone else deserts the sinking ship - I'll bet your friend secretly wishes they were in your shoes!

so true...I actually felt that a few people (smokers) were enjoying my failure last week.

But you didn't join in! Tick it off as another achievement and give yourself a massive pat on the back/chocolate orange/lovely new pair of socks/insert appropriate treat here...

Well done for resisting.

..and it does help by imagining how foul it is, mouth taste, smoke getting in your eyes, well you know the score.

Why would you want boiling hot thick black smokey tar sticking to your lungs with every drag when you have had 28 days of pure clean oxygen ;)

I think smokers offer fags and smoke in front of us because they are a dying breed and secretly want to do it themselves, it makes them feel better about their addiction if they can get you to have "just one"... Good job on not taking them up on the offer TT 1 - Nic 0 :D

So when do I move in to month 2?

I moved when my app said I'd done a month - which I suppose was my quit day plus one month...which was the 27th how about that - quit-date snap! I hadn't noticed we were the same day! Move on over to month 2 TT!

I must say, I think you were really cool to restart your quit even though your blip was only 10 minutes - I don't know if I could be that strong! xx
