    No not at the moment we have just cut the 4 big back teeth one on either side she was just hyper to the max yesterday and I'm running on empty where do they get there energy lol

    Ugh. I'd LOVE to know why adults don't get the energy that kids have. HOw are we supposed to keep up?

    Just remember, CBW... part of how tired you are is nicotine withdrawal. It really does mess with your sleep.

    Only 3 yesterday, Chippers? That's awesome! Great job!

    I had a huge fight with a co-worker yesterday, and it's making me think about leaving my job. The urge to light up today is sooooo bad I just want to cry. So... keep me in your thoughts, and don't cave! We're all doing great, and we're better than a bad habit!

    I swear to you... if we could harvest the energy of 2 year olds around the world, we'd never have a power crisis again. They GLOW with energy!

    I don't blame you for being tired... I spend 2 hours with my 2 year old niece and feel like I need to sleep for 2 days!

    I won't if you won't! I promise!

    (thanks for the hugs... I felt them all the way around the world here)

    cbw, how did it feel to not going down for a pack of cigs? I'm guessing it felt good and empowering too. knowing you resisted temptation does make you feel stronger and if not a little bit more proud of yourself.

    no one who hasn't been thru the actual quitting and the withdraw have no idea the tremendous effort it takes. not to mention the struggle. its like learning new habits all over again. but we know the ends are worth it. so even with the jokes and the fun we take it seriously not just for ourselves but for everyone on this tread.

    just remember there's nothing wrong with wanting one. you can want one and remember how far we've come since saturday. so far almost a week. soooooooo chocolate roses for everyone.
    think of all the money youre saving on cigs, lighters breath mints. your teeth will get whiter and not to mention your clothes will smell nicer too. cbw, hun, youre setting such a good example for millie. evenif she doesnt realize it yet.(maybe if she did she wouldn't be such and itch at night) for that I'm giving you the golden pacifier.

    keep up the good work. I"m inspired by you guys. so far I had 3 cans yesterday and one today. Chippers


    My dearest Chippers. Thanks so much for the inspiring words. Perfect timing. Way to go with the 3 cans... incredible!! How you feeling with it?

Hope she doesn't mind, it was a friendly loving nudge.:p

    Hee Hee... that wasn't a "Naughty Naughty"!:p I have been popping in :eek: on this thread to check on everyone's progress daily and I guess I feel a little WEAK! You all are doing so wonderful and I feel like a big PUSS!!

    I get paid today so I am going to go pick up my prescription to quit smoking. Yes... yous can say it... you all have the will power to stop without help of drugs but I feel I need it! It has an appetite suppressant in it allso. Everyother time that I've quit for a month to 3 months, I racked on some weight.:o (Being single yet and 32 scares me. There are a lot of men who want to date skeletons). I know I've talked about the drug in the beginning of this thread already... sorry!

    My day is TOMORROW... (1/19/07), which is the "first day of the rest of my life".

    Allheart... I do appreciate the nudge. I will need nudging from time to time! Also, if and when you need my "nudge", I will also nudge you back:D !

    Woo Hoo way to go Single4 you can do it sweety and your not a big puss you just have to seal with this te way you can can't wait for you to come sit on the big fat 0 branch with us and we will all be here for you too .

    Single4... what makes you a puss? That you know you need help? I'd call that knowing yourself, not being a wuss! I'm cheering for you! You can hang out with us all day tomorrow, and we'll give you hugs when you're having a hard time.

    I should seriously turn you guys loose on her. She's just not fun to work with.

    She's quitting smoking too, though... so I should go easier on her, but somehow I'm too much of a beach to do so.

    Ooooooooooh Single 4... so happy to see you... lots and lots of hugs... and one more friendly nudge. Oh scuuuuzy, but my dear, I am soooo not one of the strong ones. Doc gave me the same meds as you. I am on day 6 of the medicine pack. Chantrix right?
    And I want to smoke more with it... ahhhhhh. However, the doc said it won't start to kick in until the second week (which for me is this Sat). This Sat, was to be my quit date. When you start the pack, they want you to pick a quit date, which should be 7 days after you start the meds. But I wanted to join my girls on the top branch, so I started no cigs yesterday.

    Oh Single glad I didn't pester you :). Here's a hug and we will be ringing your doorbell again, hee hee.

    Many hugs again

    Oh Synnen, then I need to be kind to her as well. Tell Miss Muphet that it would help, if she stood next to people who were smoking, drank lots of caffine, and alcohol, and kept cigaretts with her at all times as well as a lighter. This surely will help her to quit smoking.

    Hee hee hee... I so bad. Tell Ms. Muphet no charge for the advice and to be sure and let us know how she is progressing... hee hee. ( I am being so naughty, well she started it by picking with our Synnen, so there !)
  • Jan 18, 2007, 08:45 AM
    Synnen
    Lol! You rock!

    She was hard to work with before we all started quitting (the boss offered everyone $500 to quit for 30 days... who could turn that down?) but now it's downright miserable!

    I'd pass on your advice, but she might hide my body someplace no one could find it.

    No she is down right misserable and its her problem.
    You on the other hand are a wonderful special human to who she does not deserver to know so let her whinge let her she can kiss my lilly white butt because we all know who the better person is...

    Oh my word Allheart you have wonderful taste in rings maybe you should come drag ben to the shops for me hehehehehe

    Loves you lots xxxx

    Yes we GODDESSES are the best. I've never met such a group of women like you all are. I did feel sluggish yesterday and had a whopper of a headache. But I knew that was coming. All heart you rock. Single, hun you need to quit any way you can. If that means meds then do what you need to. Synnen as for your co-worker, if she's being a little stinker, then you need to find your center and think about that. Think of all you're doing on this tread. Maybe we are like a band of eternity. We keep each other going. Focus on that and don't let her get to you.
    Cbw, did you really think your tread would get such attention. Good for you by lighting the fire under everyone.

    Ps, I'd print all hearts letter to your co worker and post on your computor. The let the fun begin.:rolleyes:

    Toottles, Chippers

    Synnen
    Chippers... you're evil. Printing that letter and posting it will just make things awful here... but it's going up on my wall at home!

    I want all of you to keep in touch with me... because if we all stay at our goals for 6 months, I'm so sending prizes out to you! (don't be surprised if your "prize" is just a pretty pebble I found in the river, though... I'm still poor!)

    Hehehehehe We rock we rock we rock.

    Millie slept for an hour this afternoon and so did I don't feel much better for it mind you and bens going to be late home tonight as he had to travel to a different office so madam will be creating merry hell by the time he gets in she knows when he is supposed to be at home.

    Im off to create her dinner and watch her throw it all over the place and rub it in her hair and everywhere she can reach lol oh the fun...

    Hope your all staying strong in your goals its never easy but the more we fight it the higher we score xxxxxxxx

    I also used to get asked if we sold packs of ten and there was all we sold right there behind me in packs of twenty I got so ed off on the day I was due to leave the company that I cut a pack of twenty in half and said yes have ten arsehole.
