Hey guys thanks for all your advice I'm feeling a lot better than I was I feel very grateful to all of you. I think for me I struggle with weekends and being home because when I'm at work I seem to be fine but I got through this weekend so all good.

Thanks guys i won't smoke unfortunately my kids already smoke they are adults who I am having difficult times with at the moment. I am going to go out with my daughter for the afternoon and look around the shops hopefully I will calm down by the time I get home!!

I am going to go out for a bit see if that will help although it didn't yesterday it may today i know i don't want to smoke and maybe I'm over reacting with everything else going on what's frustrating is i know all of this with I want a ciggie is in my head the problem is getting it out bloody junky thinking is hard to get rid of :-(

I have found that this weekend has been one major test for me my emotions are all over the place, I have a lot going on at the moment at home arguing with my kids mainly and this has been going on a while be I quit and I know smoking or not smoking nothing is going to change but I do feel I have put more stress on my self since quitting. I have cried loads today and I meditated which normally helps but really hasn't today

Oh my goodness I feel like Jackal and hyde today roll on tomorrow!!

I have had a really bad day compared to how I felt last night. I'm tired of working full time and being a full time house wife it's exhausting then I go out to try cheer myself up to losing a pair of shoes I had just brought my daughter to having a full blown panic attack in town due to winding myself up so much. Not coping at all

Haha just kidding I love there steak knifes I definitely want one. Only got one more 40th to go this year and that's my brother in laws but I have volenteered to take the kiddies home from party so all good :-)

So bloody proud of myself right now, went out for round 2 of my best friends 40th not only did I not smoke I didn't drink either so no hangover for me. And didn't even take a steak knife home from Miller and carter lol. Such a good girl :-) oh just to add I was the only person not drinking and there was about 20 of us out :-)

Have a good day peeps it's a NOPE from me :-)

I will join you too!! NOPE

NOPE from me today :-)

Hey guys - my day has been ok I have ate a few cakes at work but not smoked I kept to my pledge. I have just got in from work I'm feeling ok gonna go to an exercise class tonight as I got up late this morning and didn't manage to do my yoga. I downloaded an app I am using every resource I can. Thanks guys your all great :-)

NoPE

I have done my sos to myself and i will be back in the morning to do my daily pledge i will no drink any alcohol until i know in my heart of hearts i can do it with confidence. Thanks for all the advice i am truly grateful. I am also going to listen to my Allen carr audio but not smoke whilst listening to it. I can do this!!!

There is no such thing as one ciggerette, if you smoke yr back in the situation you want to be rid off, sort yrself out no matter how hard it gets remember you want to see yr children get married and have familys, if you continue to smoke this is not likely to happen. When u smoke yr depressed smell like shit and cant breath.do this for yourself and your family stop being selfish.

I have spoke to my husband about this I can't keep it from him. he is a non smoker but he understands my frustration. my aim is to get up tomorrow do my yoga for 45mins meditate for 20mins then read something on addiction before heading to work and forget the weekend. You guys are fab I really wasn't going to come back to the site as I was very ashamed but I'm so glad I did.

I'm so angry with myself I can't understand why once I have got the craving in my head there is no sorting it out. What's worse is I knew I shouldn't of gone out and I could of avoided this. I will do this!!!

I went out the weekend and got drunk and smoked then been hungover all weekend and had a few smokes. I just seem to find quitting smoking impossible i start of really well then something clicks in my head and fks it up. No one knows i have smoked my kids and husband would be so disappointed but not as bad as i feel right now. I should of done an sos straight away but i was so drunk :-(

Very cool

Looking forward to surfing on bondi Xmas day :-) Thanks naynay - i am happy i wont have to worry about smoking but i am not looking forward to the flight but not smoking will ease the stress. :-)

I know I'm very excited we are going to cairns and travelling back down to Sydney in an motor home. We will start with the great barrier reef then do a sky dive well not straight away because of the altertude. We are going to stay in the big 4 sites along the way. Oh spending money yay can't wait to buy my ugg boots there a lot cheaper in oz so i may get 2 pairs out of the money i saved from quitting smoking :-)

I will pledge every day NOPE and stay close to the board this time. x

Hey thanks guys I'm ok i had a nice cup of tea and sat on my sofa and me and my husband planned our route for when we go to oz in December. I'm feeling a lot happier now you guys are great. :-)

I started work at 7am and got home at 7pm I had a bad feeling that I just didn't want to go home because I couldn't go in a chill in the garden with a cup of tea and a cigarette. How sad I find adjusting difficult :-(
