Good morning you.

(Am I the only one in this thread that's in the States?)

Grats on all those 0s! Rock on!

J_9... hope your little guy is feeling better. Grats on only 3!

Oh god... give up caffeine? Not on your life. I'll DIE before I give up my coffee. /shudder I think not having caffeine is a harder quit!

I woke up with a sore throat today... and it made me realize that it's the first time since I quit that I had any sort of cold symptom, so there IS a plus side!

Now that I've HAD some more caffeine, I'm noticing that a lot of those posts were from last night, not this morning! Ack! I need to go back to sleep! (or drink more coffee! --This is why I should not ever give up caffeine).

curlybenswife · Jan 17, 2007, 08:06 AM

Have a good rest!

Morning there Synnen :) Me too, I just love my caffiene. Coffee in the AM, diet coke in the PM :) But our good friend Chippers needs us as she would like to cut her intake in half... Go Chippers.

Laura and Millie, hopefully are taking a little nap like angels :)

I'm still at 0. Been rough, but you guys are so helping. Mr. Allheart - That's another story.
We are off today and I was buzzing around the house singing "Fly me to the moon...lal lalal" and he sings back "your half way there"... grrrrrrr.

Love to all and many hugs. Keep up the great work!! And thanks so much for being there. I would have given in hours ago.

Synnen · Jan 17, 2007, 08:25 AM

Get a big stick and beat him with it. (I would start with foam, though, rather than oak)

Chippers, I think you're amazing. Cutting caffeine... wow. /bows down to you in awe

Allheart... 0 is awesome! Way to go!

My boss just walked by and asked how the not smoking is going, and then congratulated me. It's great to have support here at work, since this is where I would do a lot of my smoking :)

chippers · Jan 17, 2007, 08:47 AM

I did have a caffienated soda this am. I drank it from a coffee cup as I always do in the am. I figure if I can get down to 2 caffienated sodas I'll be fine. As for the withdrawl from smoking you should be close to the end of the detox. That's a hard thing to do curly and all heart. I'm proud of all of you for the strength you're showing and your determination. Your bodies will thank you for it.
I'm the same way in the morning synnen. Nothing seems clear or better tolerated until I've had my soda. I face 2 cranky kids in the morning to get ready for school. I used to do allot of my smoking at work too. So I can appreciate how it feels when someone you work with supports your effort. It does mean a llot.
By the way, I'm from New Jersey. Blimey curly, I would've never guesed you were from England.
(just kidding) take a nap. I swear on the goddess rule book never to tell.
Sweet dreams Beth

Janine,

I hope that your little guy is doing better. I actually am fighting off strep throat and ear infection. Plus have asthma so that makes things a lot more challenging. My prayers are with your family and that your little guy will get better soon!

Joe

Chippers, you are so incredibly sweet :). Thanks for the pep talk again. How much soda did you drink in a day?

Many hugs

I had an 8 0z cup which is better than a 20 oz bottle.

It certainly is chippers. Good for you. How do you feel. Any different?

Synnen · Jan 17, 2007, 09:23 AM

Good going, Chippers! That's like 1/3 of normal!

Keep it up!

This is such a great group!

curlybenswife · Jan 17, 2007, 09:24 AM

Yawn stretch mmmmm still all sleepy and not awake this is possibly what I find one of the hardest times lol id always wake have a stratch and then go sit in the garden and have a smoke.

How are you all doing this afternoon?

Allheart · Jan 17, 2007, 09:28 AM

Awww that sounds so nice. Sitting in the garden, in England, having a smoke. Heck you let's go join Laura in the garden :):).

Ooooh we must stay on track. Still at 0 here. Thanks to you and all the great folks here.

How goes it with you CBW?

chippers · Jan 17, 2007, 09:31 AM

I feel sleepy and a little sluggish. It'll pass. I actually slept last night without taking melatonin. I did hit the snooze button twice.

curlybenswife · Jan 17, 2007, 09:32 AM

Oh still a big fat proud 0 woo hoo and you know what Allheart its great to having you standing up here with me too :D

Allheart · Jan 17, 2007, 09:40 AM

Thank you so much. Honest to Pete (whoever he is ) it is because of this thread and what you said this morn Laura. Way to go with your 0. Proud to be standing with you. Thanks so much.

I just did a naughty naughty. But I meant well. Single4 has a thread under collectibles going. And she asked what everyone collects. Since she has been MIA on this thread (she, I think is supposed to stop smoking tomorrow, if I remember correctly), I popped in on her thread and responded, that I just started a collection... a collection of how many days I have not smoked... I asked her if she care to join me... hee hee.. Hope she doesn't mind, it was a friendly loving nudge.:p

curlybenswife · Jan 17, 2007, 09:41 AM

Giggle I added my days too ;) ;)

LOl hee hee... Oh I just love it.

And I think for your incredible accomplishment... of quitting smoking... for all eternity, would it not be fitting that an eternity ring be given to you to symbolize this incredible accomplishement.. (hee hee how'd I do :)
