Good morning, It seems we are all experiencing problems with posts and messages on here the last few days. Gremlins about again. Talking of gremlins how is everyone doing beating the nicotine gremlins? The gremlins may win the odd battle but they wont win the war. Keep positive thoughts and stay focused you CAN beat old Nic.
Have a good day today , and catch up later.

When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on. Franklin D. Roosevelt.... remember don't give up peeps!
Two weeks completed and I am feeling some fantastic health benefits which is great. I am sleeping soooo much better without the wheezing and coughing and my skin looks better too. I was able to buy myself a little antique treat this wkend too because I hadn't spent any money on cigarettes : )
2 weeks and your still going strong. Well done. keep it up. love the saying about the rope. Its amazing how much money you can save. I know i certainly feel the benefit health and wealth wise.
Yep still going strong thank God! I've been to the pub with smokers and didn't smoke and had smoker friends over for lunch and didn't smoke either so I'm feeling positive that I can keep stopped even if very tempting situations. I was sober though so I've yet to be tested when I've had a few drinks. I hope I can stay stopped! I feel wonderful not smoking and don't want to go back to it.
Well, it was a good morning but my post has gone and so now it's a good afternoon
Who else is having problems? If you could just let me know what's happened, I can report them to HU along with my list!
I can't think what I put earlier now....
BeeL, well done to you for staying strong and making it into your 3rd week It's great that you can recognise and deal with any think that you may feel will weaken your plan. The key to success is to have a good clear strategy in place that addresses any potential barriers that you may come up against. Not drinking during the early days of your quit has been something that you have obviously identified, so good on you for thinking about it.
JillyGirl, I think it must be coming up to a year since your diagnosis. How fast has this year past, so much has happened over the year too and I still think you are one of the most amazing and inspirational people I have (never) met
I've copied and pasted the above, lets see if it stays....
Hi Emjay my post seems ok but if someone replys i see it then next time i look it disappears. Must have a lot of magicians at HU. Your right it is about a year ago i got diagnosed. Sure they did an implant of silly brain cells at the same time as my op. Wow 1 year so glad i aren`t facing that now. I am doing my best to lose weight, but i know its only 2 weeek since i got told about diabetes but i have put 2 lb. in weight on not off. reckon nowt to that. :
Hello puppieseatchairs, I too am on Day 7 on stop number XXX (lost count) and I was up last night at 1.30 having not gone to bed until 11.30 and awake until 3.00 so didn't want to get up this morning. Keep positive it does get harder before it gets better I managed three months at the beginning of this year and hoping for longer or for ever this time. Sue c x
Ahh well, at least I don't feel like I've lost my positive attitude as I never had one to start off with Feeling happy wallowing in my own self pity as always. Went out on my old bike yesterday as my new one has finally gone back to where it came from for good, as the chain was just a lost cause. Was surprised at how easy it was to get up hills that were once such hard work. I also keep looking in the mirror and I really don't think its my imagination that my complexion is looking better too, and seems less saggy. So maybe I'm getting somewhere at last.
I've failed already, had a rubbish day, got home and smoked a fag... Gutted, a week, how rubbish am I? Let myself down, my kids, it wasn't even that nice. I felt better for five minutes and now feel really dreadful. Gutted am going to try and not smoke any more.
Aww, never mind you've smoked it now, you can't unsmoke it. As they say, no point crying over spilt milk and no reason to feel bad, a failure or anything else just carry on where you left off. Tomorrow is day 8 by the way not day 1, you don't have to start all over again.
Dont worry like Emjay says regard it as a practice run. So start again , practice makes perfect. Its not the easiest thing to do, but think of all the positives. Better health. More money, happier and cleaner home for the kids. No more standing outside in the cold. Stick a few notelets around the house to keep reminding yourself.
I'm a chemistry teacher,i know what all those chemicals are, and yet I still feel the need. Addiction is not good. anyway, the positive to come out of this is I didn't actually enjoy it or feel good about it so at least now I'm sure I don't want to smoke anymore.
It sounds like our lovely Jillygirl is on form today and I see so is P Hey P, like Sinfree says, just 1 fag dosnt alter anything on your quit trail, I bid you a gigantic well done cos usually,you have 1, that leads to another, then there were 3, and so on I know, ave bin there gal try to get focused again on your quit and be positive about it you will NOT have another puff !!
