Hi Kev, Glad you survived the trip to buy chocolate buttons! The first test is very hard, but it gets easier over time. Each successful trip means that the junkie thinking gets less and less. Keep doing it! Lizzie :) PS I have now survived dentist visit no. 2 (filling 2). Next Monday sees the start of my crown preparation (gulp).

Hi Penitient, Thats what I am hoping for. I really enjoy being a non-smoker sometimes and that feeling will grow more and more with each day smoke-free. Nice to see ya. p.s. Grace says 'burp' (she's only 3 weeks old so not able to say 'Hi Pen' yet.

Well JF, if you MUST imagine, start by imagining a smokefree Christmas because THAT is what it is going to be!! And next Christmas and the one after that and by the time you are sharing Grace's fourth Christmas, you won't be able to imagine a Christmas WITH cigarettes!!!! You'll be horrified - JUST IMAGINE THAT!!! Penitent d1287 :)

Hi Phil, Nice to see you mate. That is very true. Irony is that the very reason why I gave up is the reason why I would go back in an instant. I do sometimes feel that I was forced to quit and that is very dangerous for a mind always looking for ways out. If the change in law did not come about then I would 99.9% surely still be in my local happily smoking away and getting drunk. Of course reminicing is a waste of energy and cannot change the past. I've done that to death anyway. The JFDI approach means that I look to here and now and just get on with it without worrying (or at least I should do). I am learning this approach slowly but surely. My first test actually did come this weekend as my mum wanted some chocolate buttons and asked me to pick some up from the local store. Actually this is a bit like asking a heroin addict to go back to his dealer to ask for some coffee. Instead of worrying about it, I just went there with the impression 'well if I come out with a pack of smokes too then so be it, it just means that I have told myself to end my quit' This may sound really really stupid that something so little should in the past cause so much sleepless nights and worrying. But me going into that shop on my own no matter the outcome is real progress to me. As normal, I just got sidetracked with my own little story of life. Back to the point in hand... As readers of these threads will know, wrong no smoking signs at bus stops drive me into a rage, the likes never seen before from this here placid and quiet Kev. Unfortunately, one of my favourite things is to watch the news, as I like to find out what is going on in the real world. Barely a week goes by without some new ill-thought out initiative to combat the evils of smokers. Smokers are bad for the health of others..lets move them to outside the pubs..smokers are waking the neighbours because they are too noisy outside..smokers are creating litter because outside there are no ash trays...fine smokers �50. I have had to be physically held and calmed down by my dad as I suddenly get an overpowering urge to smoke and get up to go to the shops to buy a packet of cigarettes. Once I calm down I apologise to my dad. Time is the healer of all things. If I manage not to screw it before christmas then I have a new experience in my memory. They say you have to experience 4 seasons before you get to the next level. I still cannot imagine a non-smoking christmas and that is why I get this way (a bit of self diagnosis). Ask me in January and things may be different. Thats just my little rant for the day and I feel a lot better now. Happy Monday every one.

No problem Brenna. It is good to be back. Lizzie, yes the dental appointment has been put off until some time in the future due to being ill. Glad you're getting better at it. Eventually I will do too maybe, as long as I have no bad experiences. You can be sure that mum will not forget to rearrange me to go in. There was a change of plan for the weekend and we are currently looking after a poorly baby and giving her mum some rest. So I didn't go to the shops. As my mum reminds me... only 4 weeks left until christmas. My quit count survives automatically for one more day. 137 is in reach.

Hi Kev, Yes the dentist was OK. I had my usual couple of sleepless nights, and nerves on the day, but it was fine. I have not finished my treatment yet - I have to go this Monday too for filling no. 2, then next Monday for preparation for a crown. Fortunately, my fear decreases with each visit, so I will be less nervous this weeekend than I was last week. How are you? I take it that you did not attend last week due to the virus?
