Kicking the habit.

Hi PPP,

I really feel for you.  I always felt like this on previous attempts then ended up caving in but this time is different.  I really feel like a non smoker.

I saw a very attractive lady walking towards me in work the other day but when she past me a foul waft of air followed her.  I thought OMG if only she was aware of that whilst she was painting her nails and dolling herself up each morning.

PPP, you feel as though you have been robbed of something, I have been there and sadly failed when I felt like that.  This time I thought "well girl, you have got to give up sometime or you will die younger".  I have not missed them big time (apart from 2 gliches), and, because of the way I have felt mentally, I have not felt robbed or put on weight.

They say ex smokers are the most anti.  We have got to be to keep us strong.  Allow this habit to repulse you PPP.  I think of the Beyonce lookalike I walked past in work the other day and that will keep me going.

Feeling brighter today - maybe I've turned a corner?  Thanks JK for the messages of support! [:$]

 

Following from Pads link on youtube I found some Australian quit smoking campaign adverts... they'll certainly give you some motivation!

Hi JK... I have good news and bad news... had a bit of a row with OH yesterday and he told me to go and have a fag to cheer myself up!!!! [:@] [:@] so I did!!! [:@] [:@]

I had four in a fairly short space of time... [+o(] not quite chain smoking but certainly 'angry smoking' ... anyway... once I'd calmed down I realised how horrible they are and how I really don't want them.  I felt tight chested all night and had a really bad headache this morning... all of which I blame OH for of course... [:D][:D] 

So whilst I fell off the wagon.. I do know now that I really hate those little devils and I really don't want to smoke ever again!  [:D] OH is very sorry too!  [:D]

What a good reply!  I didn't manage to stay off either... but I have tried again on 1st June... not feeling my best but hanging in there... [8-)]

How's life in the fast lane?!  How long have you been in France now... any plans to stay for ever? [:)]
