So Want A Cigarette

[ferlew]

Four years ago, I stopped smoking.
Has such a stressy day today, and I am desperate for a cigarette.
Managed to resist so far, but I am glowingly aware that I could still buy some.
I haven't eaten, 2 cuppas, and my only thoughts are about cigarettes.
Can anyone advise, comment?

ferlew, with all the stress you are going through, I wouldnt blame you one little bit, if you had a puff now and again. Just one here or there.
I only say dont smoke because I have problems giving up and cant give up untill my head has had enough of the horrible habit and I dont get any more stress that keeps knocking on my door. its a very hard habit to kick!!!!!

Ferlew, think about the withdrawal from the cigarettes when you gave up. Just one cigarette can set you back on that road again. I gave up almost 5 years ago and there are days I could murder one, but I think of the times that I wished I could give up (mostly when I was standing outside in the rain smoking while my friends were inside). Not worth it mate, breathe easy.

Trying folks, honest.
Popped down the road, avoided village shop, shut at 2200, thank goodness.
I thank you all so much for support.
Such a silly addiction, but we were encouraged as kids.

Ferlew, I really feel for you, I thought I had problems but they are nothing compared to yours.
I gave up smoking about 10 years ago and started again after my son died 5 years ago. I gave up again 3 years ago and started again last September when I thought Mic was going to die. I am still smoking and have no intention of giving up again. Sometimes only a fag will do.
Good luck to you and I hope your family problems soon iron out.

Bless you, you are all so sweet.
I had a little amble, then a huge V&T.
No ciggies yet.
I think the moment has gone, thank goodness.
Got my dog babes on my chair.
How come an old lady can get in such a pickle.?

ferlew, you don't have to be an old lady to get in a pickle. Well done you for not surrendering.

When your head is spinning with responsibilities, Ferlew....tis easy for anyone to get in a pickle....♥

Thanks everyone for the support last night.
Had a few hours sleep, and I think I can cope with the day.
Many thanks again.

Years ago I found that extra strong mints were a great help to stop smoking, you know, the big thick white peppermint ones!
