Hey, Pete, can you catch and buff a badge for me too? My quit date was 9th June (when I went into hospital) so I think I qualify for a four week badge. I'd appreciate it if you'd catch one for me while you are running round the fields.
Well done for avoiding that drive to the nearest petrol station - the important thing to remember is that, even if you do buy them, you won't enjoy them. Ciggies just aren't an option any more - you would have to work at getting addicted again - and you really don't want to do that, do you?
It's strange - it has kind of snuck up on me! It doesn't feel like four weeks of purgatory - it just feels like smoking is a thing of the past. Yes, I still get cravings occasionally but I'm not really tempted to give in to them.
In the past, I've never been able to quit smoking when I've got the makings still in the house - the barrier has always been having to go and buy some. This time, I've still got a 50g pack of Drum but I don't feel tempted to open it. I think I'll have to give it away to someone. I'm too mean to throw away £15-worth of baccy!
Nice pic and great post... am soooooooo glad you didn't succumb hun, just remember how you felt last time, you were devastated as were we for you. Man that mister nic just catches you unawares sometimes, he is one crafty old sod and you do not want him biting you on the bum eh???
So glad you read thru the past posts and that it helped you, we will always try and send good, warm vibes thru them no matter how daft we are some evenings
Thanks for the bum wiggle but as I was asleep I missed it... could you do it again later please coz you know how I like it
Enjoy your sleep mister monky but don't forget you have some exercise to do later in that field of yours -x-

PS, if you remind me at the weekend, I just may do a little ermmm, bum wiggle dance for you then eh, thats if your a good girl mind
Thanks monky but don't think I could have done it without your help and everyone else's..... you lot have managed to keep me on the straight and narrow,,,,, my parents will probably want to know how you all managed that
Morning Pete so pleased you stayed strong and resisted Mr Nic, he is persistent.
I am going to give you a job to keep you busy. On Saturday I will have earned my 6 month badge and I expect it to be extra special and extra shiny so your task, if you accept this mission, is to hunt out and prepare the biggest and shiniest badge out there.
Today is my birthday so I will be celebrating later the first smoke free birthday for over 50 years.
Yes young Lady, of course I will accept that mission, I will be out over them fields at the crack of dawn, Saturday soooo it will be nice and fresh toooooo although saying that, 6 month badges are rare, but I will do my upmostestestestestest to catch one for you
June, I can feel a party coming on for Saturday maybe a few bum wiggle dances toooo eh I hope you enjoyed your day xx
drinking lots of water and have mints on hand :). I have half a packet of ciggies that have gone from handbag to the car. I tell myself i can have one any time I want one - but choose not too. tends to be working for so far

Hi Glolin, its great to see you on the chat yes, water does help it sort of gets rid of them cravings, like we get an empty feeling inside, drink some water and it fills us up
The half pack of ciggies you got, maybe a sort of backup for you, cos your mind knows that there their just incase so then you dont get the feeling of being alone if you see what I mean ! There are quite a few members who are doing the same, and it works for them tooo
We are all completely different Glolin and we all have our own little ways to help us
Pete, you make sure you give us a shout out if you need us, but a huge well done to you for taking the time and reading through all the posts, chasing after badges etc to keep you busy! You offer so much support and help to all our members - it's really important that we see that you are looked after too
KC, a very happy birthday to you! You look marvellous too I hope you like your badge for the day - Enjoy your smokefree Happy Birthday
Droopy, well done to you on reaching such a milestone within your stopping smoking journey Keep up the good efforts
beardy_chris - welcome into your 5th week of stopping smoking. You seemed to have learnt so much throughout your journey, and past quit attempts - This time is for real Loving your new badge
Briar, a good morning to you I smile every-time I look at your picture, it makes me almost tempted to go out and get a little duckling - I lost one of my hens (Agnes) whilst I was away, so I need to go and get her some company - I wonder would she like a little quck quack as well as another hen friend
Glolin, welcome aboard to Quit Support, I've been away on annual leave so haven't yet had a chance to catch up with any new members properly. I hope you are enjoying becoming part of our friendly family
I think it's about time I put the kettle on and make a decent cuppa
Thanks, Emjay, for attaching the badge - it's a nice one - thanks also to Pete for catching and buffing it!

I'm sorry to hear about Agnes, but am sure you will soon find a lovely friend orrrrrrr friendsssssss for Girtie eh

monkyAdministratorCake sniffer outer• in reply toFresher
Awww, thank you Fresher but I only got over the temptation cos of all you lovely people on here
Hmmm, I'm not sure I would like my big butts chased and kicked around my garden, cos we would get very wet seeee
See ya soon gal xx
I was a smoker 4 25yrs. Yes,I tried to quit a guzzillion times. The cravings succumbed 2 my addiction. Now I can't breath, Dx with COPD. Sad but true. It's kinda the only reason why I had to quit. In fact it's the only reason why I am able to stay off cigs.
If I felt great,I'd probably still b smoking. Glad I found this site guys
Hi Dee, Welcome to this great site You are doing the right thing by quitting and I know it has been forced on you due to your illness.... but its still the best thing ever!!
There are a number of lovely people in your situation and I'm sure they will tell you how they have done it and how they are feeling, but just take it one day at a time
How long have you been off them and are you using any NRT to help you? I know that might sound a bit nosy but there is always someone on here who can assist you if you want or need it
No NRT,like I said, I am 2oooo" SOB" to even think about having a cig. Wouldn't b able to inhale. Yeah, it's sad that it had to get to this point to quit. I use to drink a lot too. That was a snap to give up. Nicotine was a thousand times harder 4 me. BTW, I think I am in my 4th week of not smoking...
WOW almost 4 weeks is fantastic, I know it's hard but your doing great
We are all here to help you through the worst of it so make sure you holler if you need us & post as often as you like about anything you like
Well ,did same thing last summer. Quit 4 three months. I then snapped,late 1 night,marched right back in to a drug store & bought a pack. This time my illness has taken control... For now at least
