2 weeks in and tired of stopping

You are so right Hhhumph, we've got to remember that the only thing smoking gave us when we were feeling stressed, frustrated, angry etc was ADDITIONAL stress, frustration and anger when the nicotine levels got low.

Hi Bingo, Thanks for reply, have printed off the junkie thread, it made me laugh because it sounded so familiar...another mind trick i found myself torturing myself with was ...shall i cancel my A/L so i can get back to work quicker as that's always the big test...but what i was really saying was.... get back to work quicker in order to fail the quit quicker and get back smoking all the quicker!! The mind of addiction is a devious little monster!! Anyway thanks again for your support and the best of all my wishes for your own quit.

Weekend Promise 9 June 06

You all live in wonderfully exotic sounding places, i haven't been lucky enough to travel to the US, Canada, Australia OR NZ (WHAT HAVE I BEEN DOING WITH MY LIFE???)but you have my pledge of a SMOKE FREE w/e in my tail-end-peninsula of the UK. Am going to the Royal Cornwall Show (agricultural mainly) as my daughters are selling strawberries and cornish clotted cream there. This is a 3 day annual event which usually gets rained out but this year it is SUN all the way!!! Make sure you slap on the sun block Penitent, London is hotter than Cornwall, have a great w/e [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 5/11/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 30 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 905 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �150 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 3 [B]Hrs:[/B] 21 [B]Mins:[/B] 53 [B]Seconds:[/B] 48
