Day 71 and nearly gave up

Had no sleep last night, in pain with siatica, got out of bed this morning feeling really low and snapped at the husband and like a brat demanded one of his cigs - packet in hand I tnen stamped my feet literally and threw them back at him and burst into tears! 

So glad the stubborn bugger in me threw them back at him otherwise I would have smoked all of them the way I was feeling

Scared to reply to this runmeg😀

Joking aside, I feel for your suffering with the sciatica. I only had a brief fling with it but it drove me mad. You have done REALLY well to resist at that stage. Well done to the stubborn bugger.

Whoohey Runmeg, must be something in the air, I too survived the biggest challenge in my quit.    Well done for not caving.    Tomorrow will definitely be a better and easier day!
