Mama sorry you're not feeling well, I still feel depressed sometimes and I'm on the patch still. I think it's just part of the quit, maybe you haven't been rewarding yourself enough. Take care of your quit, you are worth it and you've come a long way Sincerely Marie [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 6/13/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 70 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,060 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $280 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 9 [B]Hrs:[/B] 7 [B]Mins:[/B] 42 [B]Seconds:[/B] 12

Well JuneBugs I can't believe I've made it to 10 weeks, I went out today and got myself a tube of lipstick with matching nail polish. I feel good.

I thought i would sign back in. As you know i went to Cyprus which was my reward for not smoking. I have learnt that this is not the way to play it, as when the holiday turned out really bad and completely stressful - I ended up smoking. In fact i almost did worse than that. I had a bag that i had been using exactly the year before. Inside the bag was half a cigarette, that i had half smoked the year before...... It was there - and i smoked it. Then that was that, next day they were cheap so I bought a packet. to be honest I sat there with the packet in my hand, unopened, and i wasnt even sure if I wanted them. But things were going so wrong, it was all out of my control. Smoking was the only thing I was in control of (pity I didnt think that not smoking was something i was in control of). I did the whole - ok will smoke on holiday, then not when I get back to the Uk... But I got off the plane and things had been a bit rocky, so I continued to smoke. I cleared my house from top to bottom and continued to smoke. Now I am once again at the point where i have to give up. I was so proud of myself for not smoking. I did it because my boyfriend wanted me to, then we fell out on holiday I thought what is the point? I smoked to spite him. Stupid thing was I only spited myself. I have Zyban from my doctor, but they are not really making me not want to smoke. Stupid thing was that i had saved a prescription ready to take with my for my travels but I missed the chemist, then couldnt find another open on Sat and I flew out early hours Mon morning. I tried to buy them in Cyprus (zyban) but they would have cost me �60!!! So I decided to quit when I returned home, and get some Zyban. Of course it was all the junkie thoughts again, excuses to keep on smoking. So tomorrow I have set as my quit date. I will come back tomorrow and keep posting, instead of smoking I will post. Anyway thats me, I will be back tomorrow. So good to see so many of you still at it. Well done!

Hello all you lovely June Bugs. How are you all doing? I got to 70 days today. Which is scary. Time has flown and i am posting less and less, I feel bad about that, as so many people helped me. I promise that when I return from my trip that i will try to post more. I know that i am still early in my quit, even at 70 days and this site has taught me that, I am so grateful for the information and support i have received from this site, it has really made a difference to my quit. This time I think I will stay quit, for good forever. I hope so anyway!

Mama its SO refreshing to read your post. At least I know now its not just me!! I have 17 and 19 year olds. The 19 year old has already moved out has a good job and her own place and the 17 year old is at home less and less. Dont look at what you have lost, look at what you have gained! I know that is hard sometimes........ but freedom. I dont know how old you are, but i was 38 last week. So i am not that old. This weekend I fly to Cyprus. They are working so cant come. So I am free. Its not always what you lose (you never lose your children).. its what you gain. I read an article, the closer that you are to your kids the bigger the fights you will have... you have to, so that they can seperate and go their seperate ways. I know we have spoken before about teenagers (what happened to Ann).. I am beginning to thing that the purpose of those teenage years is that we can truly understand what we did to our parents (and apologise for, lol) Good to see everyone still going strong!

Just checking in. Still going ok. I think I went past 2 months the other day. Just one weekend left and then I go on my holidays (I think it is 10 days time). Which is my reward. I dont think about smoking much, but when i do, it does hit me with force. It was my birthday yesterday so we went for a meal. I really wanted to smoke after the meal. I didnt. Today is a new day and a new birthday year. I am looking at smoking as a thing that went with my youth.... Hope you are all doing well!
