Was putting Emmy's nice new washing machine together and completely and utterly lost the plot because I couldn't find a 13mm spanner. I was almost reduced to tears for goodness sake.....swearing, slamming doors, throwing my teddy bears out of the pram.
I was in the garage looking....which is the place where me and my old mate Nicotine used to hang out together. The cheeky bugger thought he had me in his trap.
Well unlucky public enemy number 1! I'm not giving in! Hah! I found my spanner, exactly where it should be 😂😂😂😂 and now the washing machine is done and I'm enjoying a coffee with Emmy
Feel like a 41 year old stroppy teenager hahahahaha....but didn't cave in 👊🏻
Goodnight all, a new smoke free day tomorrow!

Good for you Andy! Ah yes, the memories of the week 1, it was Day 8 that I lost the plot, pulled my hair out literally, hubby could not look at me, scrubbed walls, floors, I really was a raving lunatic, but my savior was typing into google 'Day 8 of quitting' and up came this forum....
Lol andrew been there loads of times with my quit especaily driving through london,i got lost 1 day my sat nav took me wrong way i went mental shouting swearing and thinking i want to smoke i want to smoke but i didnt have any so didnt smoke.but later on i laughed at how dramatic and silly i acted.but i also realised that mr nicotine still could strike anytime and i had to deal with the good and bad times in life without it.

I remember that day Joe2 you posting about getting lost, the next day, you conquered and triumphed the drive if I remember correctly.....
I remember completely losing it because I couldn't separate two saucepans that had stuck together when I stacked them in the sink. I ended up in the garden shouting at the pans.
Having a wobble or two, is I believe, in my book at least, perfectly acceptable, I,m just soooo very very pleased it was only a wobble, and indeed not a total fall.
Well done you, with just a big banner saying great post, and if I dare say, just a little funny , the things we do to stay quit.
Fantastic
Quite interesting, loving the fact it's Emma's new washing machine, if only for the fact my oh, says our washing machine is indeed mine.
Reminds of my flight home from skiing with the family back in March. Mini meltdown at Geneva airport - even now I am not quite sure why. Really hard to deal with anything remotely stressful in the first few weeks but it does get easier. Seems you have the right attitude to power through it all - keep strong
Yep, it is tough....having a meltdown and not really knowing why, that says enough right and highlights how nasty this horrible addiction is.
I think I kind of had it in my head to get angry so that I'd have an excuse to smoke....but thankfully common sense prevailed, with a whole lot of help from this forum!
