Sparkles

hurray!!

maybe not!

might be working now

I do keep changing it, but it always reverts back to the old one

50 hours. Weird. Had a nice day out shopping. Hungry though. Just going to forgive myself for my bad food choices until day three is over!

I've just got home from work. Weirdly no cravings so far. Just need to find ways to fill those gaps....so having a cup of tea in the sun.

Thanks all. I'd forgotten that most folk are in completely different time zones to me. I live in France! Thanks for your encouragement. 16 hours without a cigarette....whoop!

Hi. I'm not exactly new here. Just a failed ex forum member. But I'm back now. Quit two hours ago. All cigarette reminders thrown away. I've come to bed with my cats. I'm very stressed right now....not the lack of cigarettes....yet.....but the shame of what I have done to my body over the years and I don't feel I can talk to anyone about it. Hence why I am here. Nice to meet you all.

Thank you. I feel like a teenager again. This quit is knocking years off me. Thank you.

I am nearly two weeks into my quit. Has acne been a problem for anyone else when quitting? I never get spots but seem to have loads now. Not worried or bothered, just curious.

So. Finally my luck seems to be changing. ...at least a little. I've gone and got myself a part time job. Might not seem.like a big deal, but this is the first time I've ever applied for a job living in france (I am English ). So I feel a little relieved financially plus I get to get out of the house and meet new people. I also work as a self employed translator but since my separation I have just found the isolation increasingly difficult. So maybe things are looking up for me at last.

I know. I've just eaten two cornetto ice creams

Wow. It's a week today that I stopped smoking. I now have quitters lurgy....but hey Ho. Onwards and upwards

I don't think it's a fruiting kind unfortunately. But it has very large leaves for me to put my hammock under!

It's a kind of mulberry tree. I wanted something to provide shade in the summer and this was recommended. Time will tell!

Bob works very hard! !!!

Just a quick check in. Still going strong. Yesterday I planted a tree in my garden ...assisted by bob.

Today I climbed this!

I think it was my addict reaction to another addiction....an idiot of a man that I was seeing and cut contact with some time ago. I saw him in the supermarket and hid like a child.

Hello. I'm ok. Had my first real urge today....because of something that stressed me so the whole "whats the point?" question came to my head. But anyway I came home without buying any cigarettes.

I'm doing good. Had terrible time getting to sleep last night. Had the jitters which sent me into a panic but managed to get off to sleep eventually. Still feel a bit out of sorts but tried to carry on as normal. Even went for a bike ride with my friend....and I haven't been on a bike in over a year. It was lots of fun in the sunshine!!

It's not so much the caffeine. It's the taste....but not sure if it's more of a reaction to the milk in it. I've always been funny about creamy things....All of a sudden it tastes more creamy even though I use skimmed milk!

I'm good thanks. Just feeling a bit out of it....and I seem to have gone off drinking tea which is just terrible.
