Looks like PD and Pete aren't getting their subs either. Will go and PM them on CAG

I'm dying to know how they're getting on

Bo *waves* at Xan

Crikey Froup 10 months - that's amazing. You need to get your Ticker sorted and get a thread up and running unless you have one already that is

You did better than me, I only managed five weeks with willpower and the Allen Carr book. My own fault, I should've read it again

Right, off to go get Pinky and Petey (Bo *giggles*)

i can tell you brassed off the first 3 or 4 weeks were not easy iwas moody , withdrawal symptons etc.... but what get me goign was that allan carr book whichmake me realize how a pathetic smoker i was !

asfter 2 weeks of stopping smoking i had tried one cig and the taste and smeel disgusted me ..to remember it the smell and taste of it i put almy ciggies end and ash into a jar with water and everytime i wanted one cig i was sniffing the smell trust me it was efficient for me !

hang in there it got easier weeks after weeks after u simply forgot that you ever smoke. as allamn carr said if it was hewas safe, healthy and evolutionary safe then every kids and adults will smoke unfortunately it since our fisrt breath of fresh air ( at birth) is air not smoke but air . i have done it for health reason !!!!!

and can tell you my husband is more than happy that i stopped smoking lol i won;t say no more lol xxxxx

Hiya Pete,

Come on then, you and P/D get on and set a date then. Don't look on this as a failure, you just having a 'break' from quiting. I'm sure you two will soon be back on track !!!

Oooo, you know you're in big trouble when Lex posts on your thread

Psssst - I'm going to mention the "s" word

S is for "shotgun" in case no one knew. This is what can happen when you don't do as Lex says

I was just laughing at Froups post above.

When I had my relapse and was so disappointed in myself, I was a couple of days 'clean' and the nicotine monster was giving me a hard time. So I licked an ashtray, Nooooooooooo..... (can't believe I'm telling you this)

That set me up for a few days, it kept the cravings away I can tell you.

I don't recommend it though UGHhhh !!!!!
