Day five now chuck, wish I could say it gets better, but as you know If you've read my journal I found day 4 an arse and day 5 it comes in waves, I think I might be turning a corner, so think there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Your doing fab now, keep it up :D

As a side note, do you think there is something in the air, you, me and toad all within 10 days of each other?

What's persuaded me to give up finally (i've been suffering wheezes and cackle laughs for a while), but a friend from another forum I visit...her dad is now dying from smoking related illness.....he gave up twenty years ago, but smoked for forty years. He's literally drowning in his own phlegm and is struggling to take a breath. That must be awful, and it's bloomin scary.
Plus, we're skint.

Good luck with you stopping too hon :)

Are you still around on the Pagan fora by the way.....haven't visited myself in quite a while now LOL

[fideal]

Not really, occasionally visit FL and DY but rarely post. I belong to an invite only yahell group, but that is it. Too busy living at the minute it seems.

What you up too?

Ah bits and bobs you know? The all consuming depression has lifted, which is a good thing, but it's left me with very little motivation and energy, which I'm trying to claw back. Looking at dressmaking as well, though I haven't done any for a while. My greenhouse is up, so will be starting there. I'm basically just trying to live life.....the forums were getting me down terribly and I feel better for getting rid of them. I'm happier and far more secure in myself *shrugs*
I miss certain people, like you, elfie, comfrey, sleepindragon, firechild, to name just a few, but online paganism has lost it's appeal to me in a big way (sorry folks)
I'm going through a phase at the moment where I need to have my feet on the ground and grounded in real life, you know?
I think perhaps you know what I mean cos you're probably there yourself :)

I've lapsed :( day 11 and I've had half of one. On the plus side it tasted vile and I didn't enjoy it so heres hoping I really have smoked my last.

Good luck to both of you. We need a support club lol

[rhianwen1]

Toad, it's just a half of one. Get back on that wagon, you can do it :)

I think we've just foumd a support group LOL

[toadt]

I'm straight back on it lol. It's weird but I feel like I have finished with it now where as I didn't before.
Darren is using the lozenges as well as the patches and he said that helps.

Can you use the two together, I didn't know that, there have been a few hours each day when an extra boost would have really helped until I break the psychological addictions?
