just to let you know how i am doing....
after a awful, awful weekend, (my boys both played football for the saem club, u12 and u10, the teams decided to seperate last week, as we have both boys we were literally stuck in the middle, ref finances and equipment, started at 5 on friday, and literally all 3 phones ringing and people at the house all weekend, got worse on monday when they said we were biased and eldest son could no longer play. i literally lost the plot and cried like a baby, we had been stuck there and it wasnt ds s fault, yet he was the one being punished.
the manager has since said he could play and apologised, but im still hurt as i considered him and his wife close friends (she was the one who sorted everything out)
monday night i went and brought and smoked a cigarette, didnt enjoy it, it didnt help, and i think i needed to get it out my system....
back on the patches today, no cravings, bit narky but need to keep to keep going....
thanks for your support

Everyone is entitled to a moment of weakness when stressed - just shrug it off and throw away the rest of those fags. Come on girl, you can do it!!!

Well done tracy

 

[saratogagirl]

well done Tracey xx

I have found its getting harder rather than easier, I have wanted one badly the past two days ..

 

[Pinky166]

Keep it up girls, you are both doing so well.

There will be the odd times for a few months when you really want one but get through those and the rest is easy.

 

[Tinks1984]

Well done girls, you're both doing fantastic! Keep it up, think of the savings and the special treats you can have!

 

[joolz1910]

Keep it up Tracy! You're through the worst of it now. Now you just need to shake off the psychological dependency.

i think i gave that up on tuesday, when i had one, and it didnt do anything for me...
i am struggling with the mouth thing, eating loads of mints, but still feel the need to have something going on, trying not to eat (but failing...) next week it should be easier, no school, so less stress...

thanks for your continued support

saratoga girl, pls carry on, we have got through the worst, and trust me, i caved, and felt no better for it, you have gone through the worst

are either of you using patches? i have a vicious red reaction when i take the patch off, v itchy and sore, but better than going backwards so im going to live with it!

Well done on all you have achieved so far - and that is a lot.

Don't try and worry about your weight at this time. You have to be INCREDIBLY strong willed to give up smoking AND diet. I don't feel ready for dieting yet, as it is only 18 years since I stopped smoking.
