Weekend Chat :- 22nd - 23rd September 2012

Morning Pete

you just beat me to it, i'm just up, that's early for me lately

love your picture, soooooo cute

how you managing to start this, you on your break

have a good day, hard when your at work, i know, but you might get a laugh along the way

I'm not doing much today, too sore from yesterday, and too COLD,

will chat later, away to have some brekkie x

Good Morning Yaye for the weekend!

I think Pete starts his shifts on Monday Sue, so we'll have him to entertain us over the weekend

Sue, I was thinking about your quit date, for Monday.... It might be best if you see how your appointment goes on Monday first and then depending on when you can collect your NRT, set your quit date to fit in nicely with that.With regards to which NRT you want to use, I know you are going to ask for the inhalator, how about you also ask about the patches too? Providing that you use the correct dose, and in the orrect way, the patch has really good results and when used alongside another oral product (such as the inhalator, gum, lozenges etc) then your chances of success increases. Just ask your stop smoking advisor about combination therapy. They'll know about it as it's recommended up and down the country. I'm really excited for you :0)

Pete, you stay strong today and make sure you let us know if you hit a brick wall. Especially after saying that you now struggle when at home. You already do the right thing by taking yourself away into the garage, garden and bygiving all your attention to your plants and Monkey cat As soon as you feel a bit then make a note of the time, a note of what you were doing and what you think brought this feeling on, try a breathing exercise and then the next time it happens do the same again. By the end of the day, you might be able to recognise a pattern to when these cravings set in and how you have learnt to overcome them. Keep us posted on how you get on. You're a winner and you can do this

Today is Saturday, I hope everyone see has positive plans for a smoke free day. I'm sure it's a big day today for Lisa-Jane, shall have to check our Wall of Winners out.

Together we can do this

HI Emjay

It's just me going nuts, i'd forgotten what day it was today, think my brain went on holiday with Jillygirl and Andi

you might have a good idea there about waiting till after my appointment on Monday, i already have the inhalators though, i got them from my doctor a couple of days ago, it's always difficult thinking when to stop, am i doing the right thing? or am i just putting it off?

I do feel more positive this time though

have a great day, will chat later

Hi Pete

we've not had a holiday this year either, had to decorate the house instead, hate not having a break but that's life

had a nice walk, i'm lucky not to live to far from water, close to the river Tay

Your weather sounds really bad, i'm sure your guttering will be great, it will easily stand up to that wind, it's heading my way tomorrow, no way i'll be going out

hope it's not to bad when you go to work tomorrow

You'll have to catch me first

got everything for tomorrow, and my first meeting here is in the afternoon

so here i go again but we can all do this together

Sweet dreams Pete, stay strong love ya x
