Do I say the answer yet?

Are all tree huggers vegans?

Anxiety is horrible so big congratulations for sticking to your quit.

You made me think of Michael Douglas in Wall Street - god I fancied the pants of him. I remember smoking at work. I'm so glad it's not allowed now here.

That's a loaded question

Welcome Vince. It always shocks me when people smoked 4 packs a day. How does anyone have time to smoke that many? Well done on quitting and I look forward to hearing more from you.

I can't believe I won yaay. 1. I haven't worn closed shoes with heels for over 20 years 2. I can't ride a bike 3. I was s podium dancer in a nightclub when I was younger

I don't have allergies but I am intolerant to Pepsi. TNP only uses their "nice" crockery/cutlery/clothes/basically anything fancy for special occasions

Just Practice what you preach : Sarge Said - Sarge would strongly suggest you quit making excuses and stop smoking ... but what does he know? EZPZ Jet Black said - BUT, BUT, BUT, SARGE! That would make too much sense!

I think number 3 is the lie - I think you went to work today so no massage.

True. I do the weirdest things like tipping my imaginary cap to single magpies. TNP reads a newspaper daily

Sorry I'm late to your welcome thread. You will get tons of support and advice here so reach out as often as you need to.

Thank you for this MQ.

I kissed a girl - Katy Perry Do you believe in God?

Congratulations on being 4 months quit. Do you have anything planned to celebrate. I must admit sometimes it feels you talk about the nicotine gum just to stir up a bit of controversy. Saying you use it to kill boredom just feels like you are trying to poke the bear but in a very subtle way.

Jeff don't sell yourself short. You've gone nearly four months without smoking and that's something to be proud of. My advice would be that we are never hanging by a thread. We can talk ourselves into smoking very easily. I used to have a bit of an epic crave and then I'd start telling myself over and over again "I can't do this" and eventually give in. Once I'd lit that cigarette and started smoking it I realised I was never really close to smoking at all, I just let myself believe I was. The only one who can smoke is you so that means you make that choice - you hold all the cards. You got this. Welcome to the forum too.

Awww Solo we need to be patient. 8 weeks is barely enough time for a broken leg to heal so a lifelong smoking habit is definitely not going to be sunny and rosy this quickly. I come here for inspiration BUT I also come here to know that others find this as hard as me. I let the golden oldies be the inspirations so that I can get on with being the "woe is me" you talk about. You're probably not depressed - you're just pissed off with how hard this actually is. Your rainbow will come just like all those before you.

I regret not quitting smoking in my thirties on my very first attempt. The next person reads their horoscope every day

What if time could halt STATE

This post just makes my day. I really hope you copy it into your other post so that people following your journey see the end result.

Have you stopped the gum Redemption. If you have then yes you may just be going through the withdrawal process.

Dizzy I'm sorry to see you're struggling. You need to do what you are doing and protect your own quit. It does sound a little like you are trying to pin the blame for any failures on hubby. If he buys cigarettes that's his choice but it doesn't have to be yours. Being on holiday is bound to be a trigger but if you can get through without smoking you will have beaten the trigger. Stop looking for excuses to smoke and look for reasons to stay quit.

Do what you wanna do - T-Connection How do you describe Australia?

I think you should deal with quitting before you take on any dieting plans. I would give it at least until the six month mark.
