Still winning

and fuuuuuucccccckkkkk I forgot my sisters wedding anniversary and she's coming to see me tomoz and already called and spoke (to test me I bet) shhiiiitttt. That's it, 6pm, I'm donning PJS and a glass of wine...this day is all over.

Why pass my exact fcuking gene pool on :( My 8 year olds descent into diva-dom and hormonal melodramtics is fcuking killing me....I actually feel like I'm arguing with myself lol. Epic amounts of singing there may be trouble ahead - Daaammmmmnnnnn.

Sorry, I couldn't work out the time difference updating the calender, oops, sorry! Massive congrats on your months Comrade. Not a moment too soon either!! Hope your recovery is going well and you're back out resting on that tree stump soon without the nasty cigs! x

Some exercise to fill the spare time is a brilliant idea. Cleaning works too :) You are doing great and on day 2!! Fabulous :) Let's stay with today, easier to do one day at a time. xx

NOPE from me.

Aww Beacon, sounds like a bad day gave you a little perspective, thanks so much for sharing it. xx I too feel sorry for smokers now. I feel eternally greatful to those who helped me educate myself and pointed us all in the right direction. Support is amazing here. x

Of course not, despite my joke above tea actually serves all purposes doesn't it from celebration through to trauma, a cuppa will fix what ails :) Hope you found a good brand tracey, hate to think of you all alone without PG, or bovril or oxo... Do we need to send a care package haha

Even I didn't know those links from smoking to auto immune diseases. Interesting reading.

I was all ready with my best tips, fail :( Tea is good though, still English after all :)

Jeez Comrade (and Aine) that sounds like a damn lousy time as a massive understatement. I'm glad you can be helped, stented and that your livelihood was protected too, everything is worry on top of worry at these type of things. Brilliant forethought by the way with the insurance for some gut instincts as to how you felt! I hope recovery is swift and limits for you are few. xx

I'd be broken in 1 :) Good luck to you though, super fit chick :) Probably half hour of me actually swimming versus 1 1/2 spent in the pool with the munchkins, fab fun! 15 minute walk.

I'm all in this quit with you, I can't do it for you but I can listen to whatever you can throw at me, anytime! I am utterly serious, you are exactly where I was tracking time wise, I promise a break is coming soon and it will feel a step easier again. Thoughts are just thoughts, letting them cosy up to you is where it goes wrong for people. Dismiss them, like mentally bat them straight back out... like this.... "I would smoke here - pfft *laugh*- like I would do that stupid crap again" and it's gone or shout NOPE out loud or in your head. I'm sorry you have some shiz going on my friend. I also see no attention moments, I see a wonderful quit and an addiction trying to fight that. Cockroaches and you will survive Susana - remember that :) Loves. xx

Sharon honey, that sounds tough for everyone and sending strength and healing for del boy. Keeping you all in my thoughts. xx

Aww Ross that is amazing!! I know she's your soul mate but it must help she's a stunner too ;) Like the guys said you two actually "look" like a couple, some people just do don't they. I hope the ivf goes well when you guys are ready to take that journey. xx Leanna, Go on myfitnesspal, honestly!! The guys here talked me into it (I was sad about my weight and kept going up and down like a yoyo). Calorie counting is the only way I've ever managed to lose weight (well other then running a pub but I think that's an extreme suggestion). I have lost 1 or 2 lbs every week despite some chronic cheating haha (chinese takeaway :( ). I built in all the foods I like and even had macdonalds big mac and chips one day, I just ate other low calorie stuff for the other meals and went for a walk that day. I like how I can work my life and food choices around it. xx

So, so proud of you my friend. xx I took 14 years, you took a day, epic strength of charecter and shows you really want this non smoking life! Straight back on, atta girl! May I suggest the NOPE and fake it till you make it approachs, they work well together :) xx

-6 Top of the morning to ya :)

Atta girl!! Some craves really take you and suck you right into them ey!! Good fight my lovely. xx

9 months is fabulous, as are you Joe!! Massive congrats. x

What's your favourite tea? Did you play any sports at school? What exercise do you like now?

Nope.

Sleep can be fairly elusive at times in pregnancy hun. How exciting for the docs, where are you based? A lot of guys here said exercise stopped those craves in their tracks and it was true. So thus the walking helped for now but any form of movement worked, even cleaning. I found literally saying nope, either out loud or in my head told the crave to naf off and then I distracted myself. They passed quicker and quicker after that until it was simply a thought that floated in and out of my head at a time when a trigger hit. A trigger for me being a time before when I would have smoked. xx

What beacon and pippa said. We love you and selfishly want you here! How are you this morning? x
