Sorry everyone it is Monday morning - but we can NOT do much about that !!
What we can do something about is smoking that dangerous weed !!!!!
If you have NOT got a quit date yet then maybe tomorrow would be good because it is the start of "STOPTOBER" and you can all do battle together against Mr Nic & those Cravings. Once you have gone through a few cravings and not smoked you start to see the cravings for what they are and in a short amount of time your body & mind will start to recover from this horrible, dangerous & smelly addiction.
Be kind to yourself and STOP flippin smoking.
Best wishes
Jonathan

I love your positive attitude Jonathan, your a winner hopefully your post will help lots of people to take that first step and quit; cause it should
I have a busy day today, getting the rest if the house packed for the move tomorrow so i might not be back on here till this evening. Have a great day everyone, and like Jonathan says have a NOPE day
Hi All. Well I am just over 6 months smoke free. I was supposed to be having an op last Friday but it was cancelled that morning. Rescheduled for 25th October. It's great to fill in there forms and when they ask do you smoke you can smile and say NO!!
It was horrid having to get up and come back to work. Oh well only 3 weeks and 2 days before I am off again for 6-8 weeks
Hope you are all staying strong and kicking Mr Nic's butt.
I'm so pleased it's Monday as I know that it is a milestone for a lot of folks who have just reached either their first week of being smokefree, or heading fast into their 2nd week. We now know that we have a few people settling down very nicely into their 2nd year too
For those of you who have stopped today, just take each hour at a time and remember that you only have to not have that one puff. Get through that moment and then you'll be building up your strength not have the next
Sin, how many lozenges in total did you have yesterday? I don't think that you need to be giving yourself such a hard time about them, but do understand your concerns regarding the dentist. However, I do beleieve smoking would be doing far more damage than the lozenges would be. Instead of waiting on your check up time, why not be bold and book in early? You may find that your mind is put at ease
I have to tell you all, I had the strangest of dreams on Saturday night, I was at the bottom of my garden (it wasn't really my garden though in real life!) with my hubby and another person who I knew in my dream but thinking about it, I'd never met them before and can't recall them now! We had all decided that we were going to have our last few whiffs of a cigarette and then we're going to agree between us that afterwards we would have NOPE (Not One Puff Ever!)!! Once my hubby and this other person had theirs I decided not to smoke, and then when they put theirs out I started to franticly pick up the stubbs saying "let me just have one quick puff on it before it goes completely out"! I woke up thinking "phew that was close"!!
Thinking about it now, I wonder was it Jonathan in my dream
Have a lovely day everyone, I'm away into a meeting in a mo, but will be back pretty soon to put the kettle on
In the same dream but a few days later - I took the carton of Silk Cut I had bought from the supermarket back and they refunded the money which was £ 17.27, but the carton had 20 packets - so this must have all taken place many decades ago because that is 86p per packet !!!
Mind you I remember buying 10 No.6 for about 32p or was it 64p - now I think about it perhaps it was both these amounts.
Hola peeps happy Monday! Great advice Jonathan! we are led to think cravings are the worse thing ever when in reality they are bad but we can cope with them especially when you remember that they pass and they are just a sign that your body is recovering. I have found my cravings happen less every day and it's good for me to see that the time between each craving is increasing. A week stopped today and I intend to keep it that way! Have a super day all!

Hi ya Beeee
A massive gigantic well done to you for getting the first week over and done with gal Like you say it does get easier BUT, going by my past attempts to quit, you may get the odd really hard day !! Sooo be ready for it eh, cos you sound really positive about it, thats what you have to do, I think, stay focused and positive
I'm ready for those hard days when they come but so far so good. I will get all Bruce Lee on Mr Nic's ars* if he rears his ugly head!!! : ) Still feeling positive, think this is the best way to combat Mr Nic so he doesn't get the better of me. If I start feeling down then I'll talk to someone or go for a walk listening to my favourite music or come and post on here. Have a good day Monky
Hi EmJay, Jonathan and everyone. I don't know how many lozenges I had yesterday EmJay, I wasn't counting, I just kept putting one in after another Up to now I've had just one today. Was my intention to have none but arguments were raising their ugly heads as a result of my bad temperedness so I had one.
I have to make that dental appointment today otherwise they'll be striking me off, still putting off picking up the phone though. I like that picture you put on todays post Jonathan, it looks like someone trying to escape smoking, is that what it's a picture of?
Don't envy you your packing Sue, good luck with that. Glad to hear you're still staying stopped Sue bunnyrabbit.
well done to you BeeL, one week of being smokefree is such a great achievement. Let me know if 22nd was your quit date and I'll add you onto our Wall of Winners You have the best attitude to be taking part n this journey
Sin, you should count up at the beginning of each day how many lozenges that you start out with, then you'll know at the end of the day how many you have had. There's a nice smiley dentist waiting for your call;
First - WELL DONE BeeL - ONE WEEK NOW ... "FAB & CONGRATULATIONS"....
it is your VERY POSITIVE attitude that is sooo "BRIL" - and I am finding exactly the same thing that being VERY POSITIVE seems to make ALL THE DIFFERENCE (& I am NOT normally a positive person but I am starting to like this!!!) ...
Emjay - got your post and I will "KEEP THE MOMENTUM GOING" ....
Anyway back to work now ...
Best wishes
Jonathan
NOPE

Aww, sorry Pete. Was watching Doc Martin and saying on facebook how nice it would be to have doctors like Doc Martin who can diagnose your illnesses without having to consult the internet while you're actually sat there.
Well night night. 12 hour shifts that's a bit rubbish, don't be working too hard.
