Journal Entry for November 23, 2009 Mood
Monday, November 23, 2009 | A Venting story

Sat here on my mam's laptop with a glass of wine and in tears.Sounds so stupid but I've just got home to some stupid wankers putting in a new heating system for me.They've ripped half my walls apart, there are piles of black shit all over my cream carpet, they've blown all my electric and are basically stood there like a couple of morons looking clueless and nervous whenever I ask them a question. If I didn't leave when i did, i swear I would be arrested for grevious bodily harm. My mam has just offered me a menthol fag and I nearly had a bit but haven't so i suppose there's one positive. Having to stay out of my own home tonight and go and get my work stuff in the morning. Really ready to blow. Worst thing is I've got another set of workmen in tomoro measuring up for a new kitchen when you can't even see the bloody kitchen! It's not even my home,it's a work site. RRRROOOOOAAAAAARRRRRRR.(wanted to put something worse but don't want to offend anyone!)

I HATE MORONS!!!

    Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry everythings such a mess. That can be such a downer. Lord knows they've got to clean it all up before they leave. You're a strong woman to resist that cig when you did. I'm so proud of you. Hope things get better soon. Big hugs, Beth

    oh no - sorry your day turned out so bad. Home repairs/remodeling can be so stressful when they go badly. I'm so proud of you for turning down that smoke. Hang in there and remember our motto ... NOPE!!

    The one i would be annoyed with is your mam. She should have been yelling at them for you instead of trying to give you a bloody fag. You want me to come over and beat 'em up, i reckon me and zeus could really scare 'em. Seriously, read it back and see how strong you have become. You are one incredible lady and they will meet your terms, i have no doubts.

Smoke free party! Mood
Sunday, November 15, 2009 | An Inspiring story

 

 *saving this post in my journal to pick me up if I'm ever feeling negative about quit*Laughing

Really felt the need to do a post today as I’m feeling so positive about the non smoking thing! We held a surprise 50th birthday party for my auntie last night (which was mint by the way!) As usual, Kelly drank most of the bar dry and danced her little socks off most of the night in her 6 inch stilettos hehe! Anyway, back to the point, since my quit, I’ve always felt the need to stand outside with the smokers during a night out - not to smoke, but I guess for comfort and that familiar feeling. I always feel like I’m missing out on something if I don’t go out. It’s ridiculous really, standing outside in the freezing cold  just so I can be among my smoking friends and secretly wishing I could have one.  However, last night, I was in the taxi on my way home (with a huuuuge plate of sandwiches and stuff that I’d pinched from the buffet!) when I suddenly realised that I hadn’t been out once during the night.  Not only that, but the thought had not even entered my head! I feel soooo happy that I had a night like that, it really does show that all the hard work and misery you can go through at times really can be worth it!
Sooo, I just want to say to anyone who is struggling or having a hard time of it, please stick at it, it really doesn’t take long ‘til you see that big shining light at the end of the tunnel!
Anyway people, I’m off to make myself a big greasy bacon sarnie to soak up excess alcohol and watch trash tv whilst nursing my hangover! MINT!! Have a class, smoke free weekend everyone xx

Bank Holiday Sunday Mood
Friday, August 28, 2009 | A Positive story
Decided to go out on Sunday even though I'm only 5 days into my quit. I know people may advise to try and stay away from temptation,which I can understand but the way I see it after reading Allen Carr's advice is why punish myself by staying in away from friends and good company (and wine hehe!) I really feel strong enough not to smoke.I know I may get a little nostalgic from time to time over the cigs but at the end of the day,I want to enjoy my new,smoke free life and prove to myself that I'm strong enough to resist temptation and not have to hide away.

    It will be a good test. If you think you are strong enough, go for it. Maybe write down beforehand what you will do if you do get the urge. Thanks for the words of support in S&R. And congrats to you on day number 5.

    Kelly I know this has been a trigger for you in the passed but it doesn't have to be......I hope you go armed with a smoke-free buddy. Personally I think the challenge can be really powerful. I remember going to a huge party atmosphere just a week or more into my quit....bonfire by the river's edge, celebrating friends' renewal of wedding vows....lots of wine....food... and smokers.....I had my best friend with me and we had a blast! Cheers and enjoy knowing you can lay your head down that evening having not smoked, you go girl!!!!

    CJ,Bank Holiday Sunday is basically an excuse in most of England to go to the pub and get absolutely wellied 'cos everyone's off work on the Monday! They're always a mint atmosphere and I basically didn't want to miss out.
    Shell,yeah,my friend Ali quit smoking around 2 weeks ago so we'll be there to keep an eye on each other.And yeah,it's good to know that we don't need the cigs to have a good time.
    Trace,it's good now that the smoking ban is in England too,especially in nightclubs cos once you're up dancing and stuff,the last thing you want to do is leave the dancefloor,get some stupid wrist tag on so you can go outside away from all the fun!Glad you enjoyed clubbing without them.
