THE ODOR....How do I get rid of it.....

I got a guy in to do mine professionally. Didn't cost too much and it is lovely. Only thing is the smoke is in the walls and curtains I think cos I can still smell it sometimes when I walk in the room. Does make you think about what was going on inside you.

May 8th - Tuesday's Terrific Quitters!!

Mr Ed I read the list you printed for the Tuesday quitters and I read 'Startdate' as 'Stardate'. Now, there's a challenge for you - as if you don't do enough already! List of quitters astrological signs. Gen. Hmmm. ;p [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 3/28/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 41 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 664 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �287 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 5 [B]Hrs:[/B] 10 [B]Mins:[/B] 20 [B]Seconds:[/B] 55

Question for long-timers

Glad this oldish one got brought back. Wonder how you feel now Lookingglass? I have the same problem with finishing a sentence that you described and I still get out of breath going up and down stairs but now I'm putting it down to having gained a few hundred pounds.... Wonder about your reaction to reading that post from February.

Smoke-Free or Smoke-Free-Wannabe?

As predicted there are many points of view on Ki's post. I've given it a lot of thought and was reminded of the alcohal support group I attended 3 years ago when I came out of hospital. There we did all sorts of exercises and one of these included a wheel and you had to place yourself on this wheel according to where you were on your journey. Slips counted as just that - a slip on the road to full 'recovery' but relapses took you right back to the beginning to begin the process over again and I think that is the point here. A slip is a thing to be regretted - and avoided - but if it happens you should encourage people to keep right on and maybe the suggestion of altering your quit date by a day is the way to go. A relapse - more than just a couple on more than one day should take the quit meter back to the start and I think there a quite a few people on the site who have had the honesty to do this. This is the other matter. Honesty. What's the point of posting on here and being part of this support group if we can't feel able to admit to a small slip-up on the road to 'recovery' without the severe punishment of being sent back to the beginning of the journey when all that might be needed is a boost back into the saddle.

Getting through the second week!

Hi Liz I quit cold turkey and, like you, found those behavioural ones hardest to forget. I assume that now you have come this far it is better to go on than start to put nicotine back in your body. Just get hooked to this site instead and read and post your way into next month!
