Now that's just weird!
Ok more of my inane observations... here goes.
I miss that nasty taste in my mouth sometimes....... WHY????
The only time I seem to be thinking about smoking is when I remember that I'm not thinking about smoking.......WHY?????
I've decided that sleep is over rated and there's alot to be said for the phrase ... I'll sleep when I'm dead! (though this won't be through choice).
People with irritating squeaky voices are still just as bloody annoying even after the withdrawal symptoms......WHY????
Just thought I'd share those little gems with you, well it's day 24 and my main motivation continues to be the desire to NEVER try to give up smoking again and you lot, so thanks again, you are all stars...... even those of you who have racked up so many days that you'll be leaving the rest of us behind soon.
Meanie. I love reading your stories and journey because you always seem to say what i'm thinking and feeling. I got cranky tonight watching some workmen smoke.Not fair they can smoke and i can't. I miss smoking . But like you i never want to go through the giving up smoking again. It's so hard. I think i would rather give birth again and thats saying a lot lol.
Congrats Meanie and Kathyrose!!! You guys have done really well! Kathyrose remember those workmen.... they are envious of you! Well at least thats the the way I'm trying to look at it, only 24 hrs down. Everything crossed!!!
Meanie - you cracked me up (again). I hear you, I think what you need is a Winner epihany when you realise squeaky voices were ALWAYS annoying and ALWAYS will be, and have nothing to do with smoking. HA HA.
Kathrose it is time to start looking at those workmen with pity as opposed to longing. Say to youself look at the poor things so addicted they are standing out in the street having to have a smoke.
Eventually the pity goes as well and really you feel and think nothing (well about people smoking). Then from nowhere it will bite you back.
Me last Friday night got cranky staormed out of neighbours drinks, went home found a pack and sat on the balcony with one and a lighter, twisiting it in my hands and then threw it away. Why would I have it? Wanting the taste like Meanie says here, probably. To prove I could, possibly. To be more like I was, which was life as a smoker. Maybe. You know what stopped me? Exactly as you are saying did not want to start at Day 1 again. And my goodness imagine if Winner had to write a post saying I caved in!!!!!!!!!!!!
So whatever works for staying stopped, use it. I think my Friday night was just me testing myself to be honest. I was (well blind) but boy when I woke up Saturday was I HAPPY I did not fail my self test.
Hang in there and keep us updated.
Winner you rock, you and me... same planet! Let's go bash something...... ha ha well done winner stay away from the bloody things, more trouble than they're worth (*authors note, this phrase could also be used when referring to used cars, neurotic partners, jobs that pay crap, crabs legs and Doritos.)
