Awe hun, you ok? Gutted but like Rachel says below, it's a small hiccup. Just shows how it can sneak back in at any point and bam you've got a fag in your hand! Try not to beat yourself up, at least you had one and that's it!! Xxxx

I reward myself too much. I was thinking about laser treatment on my smokers lines. Unfortunately I rewarded myself with a colleagues cigarette today, after learning I am to be disciplined for walking out of a meeting, so no more rewards for me until Ive worked my penance- guess I need to go another 2 months without smoking. Crap.

I've taken to rewarding myself with shoes and nail varnish - maybe a slightly less smelly reward scheme than poo?!!

Replied on my messages-doh. Glad it made you laugh, but it did actually work- I hate stuff like that and feel covered in a film of noxiousness afterwards- if I'd smoked, would have felt I was inhaling dog ****- but dog **** is probably less harmful!
Beware me time- we have been rewatrding ourselves with cigarettes for so long that being on your own with a glass of wine and no demands feels empty without 6ooo carcinogens. We will get there- we're doing good.

ROFLMAO!! Pick up dog sh1t as an alternative to smoking, that's definitely a newbie! Weird, i had my worst crave EVER last night - on my own doing nothing, had 1 glass of wine (have been drinking without major cravings) and BAM, the big fat ugly demon reared it big fat ugly head and kept me awake until 3am. Didn't cave though, thank god xxx

So sorry about youtr oh. This is a really virulent form. I hope you dont get it- 3 jobs and him to look after!. I am feeling better now and dont go back to work for a week yet, asnd the last of the endless stream of visitors left today- interesting as they left I got the worst crave yet- 1st time by myself in weeks was a massive trigger- I picked up all the dog **** in the garden instead. Its all good

Flu = yuk yuk and more yuk! The OH is in bed with flu, again, even after having a flu jab (he gets one cos he has asthma and heart probs and 2 strokes @ 23 - a very unlucky fella!) so am hiding downstairs hoping not to catch it

Ditto about a smoke-free Christmas - the best bit was not to be battling to get outside for a fag at New Year, when i have missed midnight a few times, or been very close over the years as i've been outside smoking - how sad is it that we would've rather stood outside in the cold smoking than see the NY in with friends and family?! No more hey!

Happy New Year to you and yours

I ve had flu too- been really bad, everyday brings a new symptom- earache today. I do worry that Im gonna be one of those people who get iller and iller when they stop smoking. On the other hand I also think that its very strange that I smoked for all those years cigarette free Christmas felt good!

Hey Sandy, yeah i'm good although think i'm getting the flu again, bleurgh! How are you?

Hey Jennifox. I hope you are well
Sandy xx
