I Need Help!

[Guest]

Lou,

You made it almost through day 4, right?

Way to go!

Keep it up girl, after today the battle is no longer against the nicotine.

Now you'll have to start watching out for the pitfalls, the habits.

Thanks, sweetie.

You'll have to be my head cheerleader, and sort this rabble of guys out.

Is the stomach ache normal?

Lou

The stomach ache is normal and it's caused by nervous tension.

(leaps to his feet, cheering loudly and waving his arms. Then leaps up higher to stand on chair to wave higher, and continues cheering even louder.)

If Black Tulip wants to lead cheers, I will follow.

Thanks, Box. That explains it, should've realised it myself, because accompanying the ache is a kind of churning, nauseous feeling.

Keep cheering, honey. You look kinda cute waving your arms about like that.

No. You could be pregnant.

We must have humour, eh?

 

[Guest]

No. You could be pregnant.

EEP! Now that's scary.

Nah, no chance of that. I can't have any more babbies. Which is cool, because our two wonderful girlies are enough for us.

Probably something you ATE though!!!!

 

[Guest]

You could be right.

Where did my first sexy cheerleader go with his pom-poms?

 

[Boxlicker101]

Where did my first sexy cheerleader go with his pom-poms?

You chased him away.

Awww, sweetie! Thank you!

Now get outta my face with those damn pom-poms.

Lou - feeling tense.

P.S. You and Lew would make a great pair.

P.P.S. I asked very kindly before, and I'll ask again. I won't be any less kind, but maybe a little angst will showplease don't call me "Tat". Thank you. Next time I'll shout. You would sure as hell lose to this girl then.

I was talking about Lew, and I don't think I chased him away. I hope not, anyway! I don't want a repeat of what happened before. We're buddies again now.

I'm sure Phil will be ok, though. I might have been a little harsh, but I'd already asked him once, and I was feeling a little tense.

Sorry, Phil, if I upset you!

Lou

Tat elou, sorry I had too!

Sniffle, sniffle, really I don't recall you telling me once, Maybe four or five times. But not recalling you asking once. Hhmm, now the cute little sweed girl. Ah yes I know better!

Don't even think twice "Lou" you know I it hardish. I would call you Katie but you never said I could so! I will be happy to call you whatever you like . Certainly not er, well, you know, da', I know now for sure.

As far as my buddy the pom pom Lew goes, be nice Lew looks great, and is a sexy dude. Ok not as nice as his better half would with pom poms. But he is a cool shit! (If you only knew how I picture Lew) (I have to change that one of these days)

Remember be strong and resist the desire to rip off your love's head. Mine is ok to smash and get frustration out on. As it being like rubber it will just bounce back with a smile. Besides how could I resist a kiss from a pretty girl.

Keep up the good pace I will check back tonight.

Phil

 

[Boxlicker101]

Hi Lou. I hope I can congratulate you on making it through the fourth day. The worst of the withdrawal should be over (Yay), but you don't have it made yet. By that, I mean you have to be on your guard about doing something that will trigger smoking again, like sitting and idly sipping coffee or something of that sort. Just keep cigarets out of your reach, and that should do it.

You said your husband is also quitting. Usually something like that is less difficult if you do it with something. That is a very well established fact with 12-step programs all over. It is about 10:30 here, and maybe I will write a oem about quitting smoking. It would be in the non-erotic category and if I do, I will dedicate it to you.

I think Phil and Lew know you have not been yourself for the last few days; you have been going through nicotine withdrawal, and this is a very tough go.

Meanwhile, here is another hug ( ) and some Remember, don't let us down.

RIGHT!!!! That's it. Officially fucking stressed out now!!!!!!

I just took ages typing out a message, then hit "Submit Reply" as you do, and it said too many bloody images has been used. WTF?????????????? I went "Back" and my whole bloody message had disappeared. ARGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Can't fucking remember what I said now.

Something about Lew's arse? Nah.

Something about yours? Yeah, that was it! I said if you called me Tat again I'd kick it all over the forums. Hmmm, that's better, calming down now.

Anyway, seriously mate, it's no big deal. I'm just feeling TETCHY!!!!!!!!! You can call me Tate, Lou, Tatelou, Katie, Loulou, Katie-Lou, Dozey Tart, or even Silly Slapper, but not Tat, and never call me a Twit. Lew did that once, he won't be doing it again. I chewed his head off! I won't tell you what he calls me now, though.

Lew is very cool, couldn't agree more. However, I won't comment on how sexy I think he is, or how I picture him. You don't wanna know!

We are mates, and it's all just friendly banter. The same goes for you, too. *hugs*

So, you like it hard, do you? Funny that, I do, too.

I need a smoke.



Katie-Lou

P.S. I'm off to beat a grapefruit to a pulp.

P.P.S. My solution to my problem was to delete all your smilies.

Before I set upon that grapefruit...

Thanks, Box.

I'm actually finding this morning tougher than yesterday. I think the novelty is wearing off.

And, I need a shag! A fucking good one!



Adam's at work.



Hugs and kisses are great, but shags are even better.

I wanna smoke a pole.

I'm going for a run...

Lou

P.S. I don't know how you and Phil got the impression I'm pissed off with Lew. I'm not! Far from it. He's behaving himself now, he wouldn't dare upset me again. He knows I'd crush his balls.

 

[Dirt Man]

Okay, so you've made it to day four. Congratulations! The next hurl is to make it past day 7 without smoking. That's only three days away, and you just did 4 without smoking so the going will get easier. On day four give yourself a special treat, nothing that will bring the idea of having a cigarette, but a treat just the same. Maybe a night out dancing drinking orange juice instead of alcohol with your significant other. Then a night making mad passionate love afterwards. Your next goal will be to go without smoking for a month. Then after that the 6 month aniversary, and then the yearly celebration after that. With each celebration you'll notice how little you actually care about smoking anymore if at all.

One more thing. You open a new bank account. In this bank account you put a deposit every week equalling the amount of money you would have spent on your smoking habit. This is special money because it still comes out of your household budget, but now it is a savings, instead of a payment. This is the money you use for your yearly celebrations. So be scrupulous, and faithful to the present costs of your habit by finding out weekly how much it costs for those smokes in the same way you purchased them when you did smoke. So keep the faith, and you'll be going to tahiti in no time at all.

As Always

Katie,
Works just fine! If your going to compare Lew and my bums well, in the dark you will have a hard time telling us apart. I am sure neither of us will complain, take your time.

Like it hard like it soft like it any way you can imagine it. All of that is good. But you don't need a smoke, and should ban that phrase from you vocab it is tough enough to quit you don't need to remind your self. Don't think of it as a loss think of it as a gain.

Really when I say I am inspired by your posts to quit I am serious it makes me want to quit as well. I am just a little envious right now of you but as the days count on I will become more envious.

I'm actually finding this morning tougher than yesterday. I think the novelty is wearing off.
And, I need a shag! A fucking good one!

Adam's at work.

Hugs and kisses are great, but shags are even better.

I wanna smoke a pole.

Whoa! I don't know about any one else, but between Katies new Av and cry for relief while beating the hell out of a grapefruit. I am dreaming up one hell of a Lit story!

Changing a few names from the thread, and making Adam an open minded man; Phew! Is it hot in here?

Phil


Post Scribus:
I really never thought you were angered with Lew, it was just a good place to insert an inside joke only Lew would get.


P.P.S.
Come on don't give in now you have only come a few days, be strong and set a goal to at very least make it eight days with no cigarette. Then you can look at your situation with out the power of direct nic fits getting in the way. Make a clear decisive rational decision and if you wish to remian not smoking.
Also try to avoid your husbands smoke, will he smoke out doors for you? Second hand smoke prolongs the time of cleaning your system out.
Please be strong for the next few days! Really it does mean something to me that you can make it, if even only eight days.

 

[Black Tulip]

Is the stomach ache normal?

Not if you have been taking that advice about stubs in a glass of water.

You'll have to be my head cheerleader, and sort this rabble of guys out.

Thanks, but that would be plain stupid. You do not really want their enthusiasm curbed, do you?

Still going strong? Deep breaths and a glass of water if you want to put something in your mouth. The habit passes, it really does. And you can feel so very proud of yourself if you can stick to your decision.

I hope you do not have some ... in the house? I know I would have given in many times if there had been smokables in the house.

Right, time for my nightly check-in with my support group - you guys are awesome. I cannot begin to express how much you have helped me through these past five days.

YES!!!! Woohoo! I am nearly at the end of day five, and I feel great. I was a bit shakey this morning, but then somebody told me they'd give me some seriously bad shit if I gave in to the cancer sticks. That snapped me out of my weak moment in a flash. I don't want any bad shit off anyone.

Thanks for all of the above, Dirt Man. It is all about goal setting, you are so right. Each day is a hurdle, but I'm getting over them. And, I'm not looking at it as taking it one hour at a time any more, it is one day at a time.

As for the extra money. I've opened three new bank accounts. Yes, 3!!! One for me, and one for each of my girls. The money Adam is saving is just staying in our joint bank account, to help towards whatever needs paying at any given time. That was his decision. When I smoked the maximum I ever smoked, I guess it cost me about £20 per week. So, each week I'm paying £5 into each of Chloe and Georgina's bank accounts, and £10 into mine. It doesn't sound a heck of a lot, but it will soon mount up. The girls don't know about these accounts yet, but they will when they're a bit older. It's up to them what they do with the money. My money will go on treats for myself. What the heck! I deserve it!

Thanks again,

Lou

I need a smoke.

No, you don't.

P.S. I'm off to beat a grapefruit to a pulp.

That, you do need.

Hmm, Phildo is right... this IS a story waiting to be written.

You should see this movie, a kind of weird analogy of The Divine Comedy (I think Hell here represents levels of psychosis to the smoke-quitting), where the protagonist tries to compensate his lost vice - with excess of all the others.

Thanks, but that would be plain stupid. You do not really want their enthusiasm curbed, do you?

Come on BT I was looking forward to catching you as you tumble in the air and land in my arms. I never said where I was going to catch you.

Katie I think that is sweet how you are including your girls into being a motivational tool for you to quit.

Thinking week one and they can each get a candy bar, and a hair scrunchy if they close out their account. Now you better make it to week two!

 

[Guest]

Katie,
Works just fine! If your going to compare Lew and my bums well, in the dark you will have a hard time telling us apart. I am sure neither of us will complain, take your time.

Good, and you should! I'm feeling fine at this moment in time. Great, in fact! I went on my run earlier, and I didn't have to stop for a breather every five minutes. Any wheeziness that was there has gone, already!

Mark my words, Phil, I am gonna be on your case to quit very, very soon.

Whoa! I don't know about any one else, but between Katies new Av and cry for relief while beating the hell out of a grapefruit. I am dreaming up one hell of a Lit story!

Changing a few names from the thread, and making Adam an open minded man; Phew! Is it hot in here?

Tell me when you've written it. It might come in handy for a bit of my own relief from time to time.

Thanks, honey. I am feeling very strong again this evening. As I said, in the previous post, I was having a weak moment this morning, but somebody talked some sense into me - big time! Oh, and Adam has given up with me. I don't think he's had any, but he's been at work and a lot of his mates smoke. He tells me he hasn't, so I've got to believe him.

Phil, you're a star.

Katie

Not if you have been taking that advice about stubs in a glass of water.

YUK! No, I haven't needed to resort to that, thank God!

Thanks, but that would be plain stupid. You do not really want their enthusiasm curbed, do you?

It would far from curb my enthusiasm, and I'm sure I speak for the guys here, too.

Still going strong? Deep breaths and a glass of water if you want to put something in your mouth. The habit passes, it really does. And you can feel so very proud of yourself if you can stick to your decision.

Yep, going very strong again now, thanks. I've chewed through a big pack of pencils, though.

I already feel pretty proud of myself, and more so as each day passes. I'm gonna do it!

No, there aren't any in the house. I don't know if Ad's hid any away anywhere, and I don't want to know. I do know I could've cracked by now if there had been some stashed away somewhere.

Thanks, BT,

Katie-Lou

That sounds like my kind of film, and I'm sure I could relate to it.

Thanks for making me smile,
