You go girl , I do a lot of oil refinery work and fly quite a bit , both places are no smoking zones, and its no problem (same when I worked underground) but as soon as its okay to smoke I light up. To my mind the bl**dy things should have be banned in the 60s when the first warnings came out , every politician elected to national office since then has phlegm on his hands and I've smoked for 40 years

thanks for all the positive posts!! but i agree with the going out business i'm scared stiff of the beer goggles taking over (they've got me in trouble before!!!) Might pay you all a visit on the 27th i'm out for a friends birthday in Ossy so i might just pop in to meet you all. I think i work with half of you just haven't revealed your true identities YET !!!!!!

I've done a full 8 days 21hours 9 minutes (not that i'm counting)

To be honest it isn't bothering me as much as i thought it would and i can't believe i didn't do it sooner!! Had loads of support from girls at work especially ROMPS!! not too much from friends though, don't visit anymore because they can't smoke but hey!!! rather be lonely and alive!!!

Anyone else taken the plunge??

well done ive just on my week 2 now with out a fag and do feel beeter 4 hit just hope i can keep it up!!!!

Well done. Ive tried and tried to give up but I just cant do it. Tried Patches, gum etc.
I just enjoy it too much and living with a moderator there are times when I need it.
NO WILL POWER that's my problem.

Good for you Parky.

Wondered how you'd gone on with it.

Happy birthday by the way.

I thought you would be too busy deleting all the off topic posts and spam to light one up

Well done for quitting. think all that money you will save.

Save it up and after a month go and buy yourself something nice as a reward.

Karma on its way also as a incentive.

TracyO · 18-01-2007, 16:02

you're brave chopper but i couldn't put my kids through me going cold turkey!! the stress levels are high enough as it is. As for a reward i've booked Disneyland!!!! so i can't afford to smoke now even if i was tempted to light up again!!
went clinic lst night and i'm now officially a non smoker. CO level reads 2 which is a big improvement from 39 which is what i started on!!!

Doing very well, put on a little weight but am working on that

Happy birthday by the way.
Thank you
