But that doesn't excuse the fact that I gave in to temptation......GRRRRRR its no good, but I definitely won't be having another one thats for sure.

READ THE BOOK

Been on the motoGP, racing today. I think i came second; maybe third. I'll wait for the results to come in.

As for smoking... no temptation for me, had a few beers, rolled Gordie a smoke and watched 'em all smoke in front of me whilst i hoped about like the retard from hel.. man im majorly Hyper.

faster on the bike too

Still.. smoke all you want Stick CHICK.. JUST READ THE BOOK .. PLEASE !!!

Don't panic, it's just a hiccough. Keep at it and you'll be fine.

Wasn't it great that you felt really crap! It would have been miserable if you had LUUURRRVED every illicit drag - but no, your body told you where to stick it.

Just keep plugging away . . .

You are at the most difficult stage. Nothing wrong with a little failure. I doubt if there are many who did not have a puff at about where you are now. The mindset is still there and that's the most important attitude to have.

PM me and I'll give you a breathing tecknique that will help with the stress.

OMG what a change in mindset you have. I can relate to most of the stuff in that book about the "cold Turkey" effect etc. I have now changed my way of thinking and I'm now a "Happy non smoker" yahooooooo!!!!!!

Well Boomer this is probably the only time that I may agree with you but reading that Book has made this quite a pleasant experience. Day 6 is halfway through and I'm actually enjoying myself.

Have you guys considered something as extreme as physical exercise to celebrate your clean lungs (or to speed up the cleaning process depending on how you look at it)?
I think you might be able to channalise the restless energy you have into something really good. Just a short run or jog - even a brisk walk or some such.

Allow me to add some motivational fodder - a cautionary tale.
One of my girlfriend's best friends back home called the other day. Her mother who's been a heavy smoker her entire life and got diagnosed with lung cancer not that long ago just got the "death sentence". Her primary tumor in her lungs has spawned secondary tumors in her lymph nodes. She won't have much time left...
Furthermore, her father - who's not a smoker by the way - went to the doctor with back aches. Turns out he has a tumor in his spine - a secondary tumor... the primary tumor is in his lungs. So his days are numbered as well...
So my girlfriend's friend is obviously shattered that she'll almost certainly have no parents left next year. And her young children will be two grandparents short as well. Its fucking hard, but what can you do, what can you say?
The choice you make today is important, not just for you - but for everyone who relies on and cares about you. Still, its your choice, make the one that is right for you.
