I'm facing a massive test right now. I'm early meeting the family so I'm sat outside the science centre. Normally when I'm sat outside alone i would smoke myself silly. It's an anxiety thing. Instead it's lots of deep breaths and mindfulness techniques. Would rather have a smoke though :/
Hi Ellie you stay strong now eh, cos you know you can do it
I suspect your with your family now and are a busy little bee like you say, you take a few deep breaths now and again if you need to, cos they dooooooo help
Hey, wish your Dad a happy birthday from me eh hmmmm, its only 5 days before my birthday, hint flippin hint Enjoy the rest of your day gal, speak soon

Aup Jmc sooooo, your 21 on the 5th then I'm 22 on the 6th, cos am a bit older than you eh
Yeah, I know what you mean about them flippin urges to go buy some fags, but there's one thing to look forwards to, they get less frequent and easier to deal with, the longer you stay quit
Stay focused and positive on your quit, keep reminding yourself WHY you want to quit and look forwards to all that extra cash you will have
Haha yeah the big 21 Pete i can't wait Yeah been taking your advice on board and keep telling myself why i want to quit. I've been lazy the last 2 days and not really been making proper dinner during the day. I've just really been snacking. Could it be hunger that I'm mistaking for cravings?

Hey, Jmc, sorry I missed you pal
Yeah, you've got it in one, cos I think most of us get a sort of empty feeling inside and we try to fill it with snacks !! which does help, I tell you
Maybe if your snacking on sweet things, then thats why you dont feel like a main meal !
Try snacking on fruit or veg, like diced raw carrot or nuts, although they are very fattening, they are jamm packed with protein and nutrition
Try drinking a glass of water when you get this empty feeling, cos that helps to overcome the hunger pains
You be proud of yourself and hold your head up high cos I know how hard it is to quit, stay focused and positive eh, cos I know, your going to get there
Hi Pete, Yep been chilling whist shopping . freezing outside. anyway no excuse we both bought 2 jumpers each + 1 cardi for me. What you up to today. ok when is your birthday 5th or 6th. and are you 58 or 59? Your a golden oldie.

Sooooo, your still awake then Yeah, I know what you mean about it being freeeeeezing outside, cos I have to come in now and again to get a flippin warm I'm pottering on the idea of digging some of the lawn up at the front to make another veg plot
As for my birthday, I will keep you guessing, cos am not telling you I will just say, its not on the 5th, there !! you try to work that one out with your one brain cell then
