[Finley2012 30 Months Winner]

Hi Andi hope you feel better by this aft; sun is out here for the first time in days and it does make you feel better, but if you're not that lucky this after, Pete's a ray of sunshine!

[Lenne LONG TERM WINNER]

Heya everyone, sorry I didn't pop by yesterday I'd had a horrible time at the doctor's. She triggered one of my paranoid attacks and I spent the day in tears (way to go doc). On the plus side I've got 2 weeksworth of 25mg patches and I am relieved that my nurse always makes me feel good- think I will stick to seeing her and her alone next time. Just wanted to let you all know I am okay(ish) and just need to spend a few days trying to calm down. xx

[jarvo in reply to Lenne]

Hey Lenne

Just wanted to say 'well done' for coming back and sticking with your quit. There's lots of support on here for you and your nurse sounds like she picked you up a bit. Keep smiling and give us a shout if any of us can help!

[jillygirl Administrator LONG TERM WINNER in reply to Lenne]

Hi Lenne sorry you had a rough time with the docs. At least you seem happier with the nurse. Chill out love and take care of yourself. we missed you. got to get yourself on form for next week , Pete on holiday from work. got to tease him or he will sulk.

see you later. xx

[monky Administrator Cake eater]

Andi, you.ve got through 6 weeks, dont you go and do something stupid gal, please, please dont!!

I know that you are a strong Lady, far far tooooo strong for me to handle!!

You know that you can do this, and i have tremendous faith in you!!

Have i done something wrong?? or said something wrong to you?? cus if i have im truly sorry, and i didnt mean it gal

I have got to go now and try to get some shut eye, keep in there gal!!

Pete

[andi22 in reply to monky]

Hiya Pete, no I won't go and do something stupid! (Us gals are MUCH stronger than you blokes - a lot of the time! )

I hope you had a good kip - mine's the same as usual but it is nice being about so early in the morning - especially when the sun is shining.

Speaking of which, it has finally come out this afternoon and I cut the grass.

Now you don't have a bad memory at all (especially at your age - hehe) so there's no need to tell fibs as you well know that if I'm at 6 weeks then you MUST be at 2 weeks.

Catch ya later. x

[jarvo]

Afternoon everyone,

Sorry I'm only just getting on now - I've had a very busy morning trying to clean the house!!

The weather started off ok today but now its pouring down. Oh well the gardens are looking good but would like it even more if i could sit out in it

Thanks Jillygirl (again) for starting the daily chat, hope your enjoying your day. Anymore skipping this afternoon?

Hi Sue - Theres been some lovely messages put on here for you, lots of support and love. Hope your little dance and sing-a-long helped, I do it all the time! It's great your sticking wih quitting smoking, you've done amazing.

Hi Pete, You're doing brilliant, cant believe you've lost count of the number of weeks. Your support is appreciated amongst us all on here. Hope work was ok.

Afternoon Andi22 - 6 weeks thats amazing, think of all the benefits to quitting (financial and health wise). You deserve a big pat on the back 8-). Hope you enjoy your meal with friends today, just think no escaping out in the rain for that cigarette! A walk on the beach in any weather is nice so long as your wrapped up, think of all the fresh air your lungs will take in after 6 weeks!

Speak soon

[andi22 in reply to jarvo]

Hi Claire, didn't manage the beach today but have got in the garden ta, Andi

[jarvo]

Me again!

Not too sure if Emjay's put this on before but it may help a few of you.

Health Benefits of Quitting

Your body will begin to repair itself as soon as you stop smoking – and you’ll go on feeling the health benefits for the rest of your life.

20 minutes after stopping your blood pressure and pulse rate will return to normal. Circulation improves in hands and feet, making them warmer.

8 hrs after stopping nicotine and carbon monoxide levels in the blood will be cut by half and oxygen levels will return to normal. Chances of heart attack start to fall.

24hrs after stopping the level of carbon monoxide in your body will be that of a non-smoker and your lungs will start to clear out mucus and other smoking debris.

48hrs after stopping your body is becoming free of nicotine and your sense of taste and smell is improving

72 hours after stopping you should be breathing more easily. Airway passages in the lungs begin to relax. Energy levels increase.

2-12 wks after stopping your circulation is improving, making walking easier

3-9mths after stopping your lung function has increased by up to 10%. That means less coughing and wheezing and fewer breathing problems

5yrs after stopping your risk of having a heart attack is halved

[jillygirl Administrator LONG TERM WINNER in reply to jarvo]

thanks claire, i was looking for this blog to show my hubby. its surprising some of the facts on it.

[helena84]

Hi everyone

Well thought I had best introduce myself, my name is Helen and I have been a stop smoking advisor for 5 years now. I love my job as one of the best parts about it is getting to know and talk to people like yourselves.

Like Jarvo I am here if anyone has any questions they would like to ask me, from reading everyones blogs/chats it sounds like you are all doing fantastic!

I love the way the weather gets brought up in conversation - cant you tell were British haha! Anyway dont let the rubbish weather get you down and keep doing what your doing! I will be checking in from time to time now, looking forward to chatting with you all.

Helen

[Lenne LONG TERM WINNER in reply to helena84]

Hiya Helen, lovely to meet you! Yup, it's normally the weather and tea isn't it for us Brits! Speaking of, the sun is actually shining where I am so that makes a change.

[jillygirl Administrator LONG TERM WINNER in reply to helena84]

Hi Helen, lovely to meet you. As you will see we are probably silly on this site, but we do support each other.

Best site on the net.

[andi22 in reply to helena84]

Hi Helen, so you finally made it here - welcome.

Yes I seem to obsess about the weather as when we have these terrible prolonged spells of gloom, cold and wet it really gives me the glums at times. (like the last couple of days)

Anyway, the sun's out for a couple of hours at least so have to get out and enjoy it.

Andi

[Lenne LONG TERM WINNER]

Hey all, don't worry about me I will be okay, I am just in severe sulk mode and I won't bore you all with the details. To make matters worse my father decided to try rigging up a wireless connection and totally ruined my internet connection so I spent 4 hours this morning fixing his mistakes which made my mood even darker! Hands off my internets, pops!! xx

[jillygirl Administrator LONG TERM WINNER in reply to Lenne]

Hi lenne , I have a hubby like your dad. can be a pain sometimes. even though they mean well.

[andi22 in reply to Lenne]

Hiya Lenne, sooooo sorry you've been so bad - makes me think "what are you on about?" but hey - we're all different and have got our own demons. The main thing is that WE DON'T WEAKEN and let ourselves get dragged back into our previous life!

Hope your mood keeps on brightening as mine is finally (with the sunshine )

KEEP STRONG! Andi xx

[helena84]

Hi Lenne

Oh thats good.....its very dull were we are though at the moment!

Glad to hear that you got hold of some patches, and it nice to hear that you have some good support from the nurse you are seeing. If theres anything I can help with or advise you on then please just ask

Helen

[andi22]

Time to break out the hula hoops, nuts, chocs etc.

Oh, and maybe a bit of fruit too!

Can't believe how busy you've all been on here today.

[jillygirl Administrator LONG TERM WINNER]

Hope every one has had a smokefree day and not been too niggled with those piggies. I may not be chatting until late tomorrow, so hope you all enjoy your day. love ya lots xx
