Reading in the bath

In the bath.

The Stop Smoking Campaign (or is that just pain?)
Oh Gawd. This is absolutely bloody awful.

Well, yesterday wasn't too bad, though Stephen got sick in the morning due to overdose of nicotine.

At the moment, both of us are just dying for a fag. It would just be so good. Light up - inhale - breath.

If you have not smoked, you have never known this pleasure.

Of course, when you're on 40 a day (as we were) you're probably not getting it 99% of the time. And ok, everything smells like shit. When you look at the stuff that adheres to the walls, it occurs to you: Jesus, that's what it looks like inside my lungs.

I think I'm going to do some cleaning. I can't face the washing at the moment. Which is silly, because it really isn't difficult with a washing machine AND a tumble drier.

I must clean. I must scrub, polish and inhale ionic surfactants.

You have all my sympathy. This bit of giving up really is the pits - but this is the absolute rock bottom, and by Sunday night - Monday morning at the very latest - it will have passed. Giving up will never ever be this bad again, because now you're fighting the addiction, but that will be finished with within a few more hours. Afterwards it's habit.

Congratulations on getting this far - you can do this!

Hugs, admiration and positive thoughts from Herts.

love - Maggie.

catching up^^
Maggie, thank you so much for your support. To be honest, we're using nicotine replacement therapy, so we don't get the major withdrawal symptoms that you get when you go "cold turkey".

You have no idea how nice it is to get these messages!

hugs

Re: catching up^^
I'm just glad to help. Let me know if I'm being OTT, ok? Even including patches etc, giving up isn't easy. You can do it!!!!!
