Can't wait!

Hi Pal, i was reading about you packing up the weed and was going to write about my experience of it but did'nt have the time, then when i did i forgot what forum it was in, now i've found you and i have plenty of time to write as i'm off work, because yesterday i fell down on my hand that i broke 5 years ago, after an xray it was found not broken but it's in a sling, they said it wasn't broken last time but a second xray proved them wrong, they can't always see it. So hoping they are right this time don't need it 4 weeks before xmas.

My daughter rang me up today and she said it was wicked now that i was home as she can never catch me in, and said she would see me on sunday, and i thought what's happening then, are we babysitting?
i'v got a mind like a sieve, so i said what's special about sunday then? and she said birthday, and i said who's birthday, she said yours. Well i knew it was near but did'nt realize it was that day, well i try to forget when i'm getting older.

Anyway to get back to the subject. I stopped smoking over 30 years ago because at the time there were a lot of adverts on the tele about the dangers of smoking, and every night i said before i went to bed that was my last cig, but in the morning i would always weeken again. Then me and my friend decided to stop and bought some tablets from the chemist called 24 hours. You took two tablets fot 2 days then the rest of the time you sucked the losinges. After the first course i still craved so bought another pack, that did it along with willpower. I had 3 packets of trebor mints a day and lost most of my back teeth,but i don't regret it as i'm a lot more healthy.
I often dreamt i was smoking again and believed it and almost went back on them. I have heard that a lot have people have experenced that too.

For rewards i bought myself clothes i would have used for the cigs, i only wish i had kept that up. i would be a millionaire now, (well nearly).

 

:eek: Sorry about the wrist w-g..But here's an early Happy Birthday for Sunday Now are you sure it is???? :D
Off work hey?...Well join the lazy brigade. I'm off for the next Month too!..So all being equal, I will be in here much too much
As for the weed,well today is D Day +57 since I became a non-smoker,and that includes Mrs Pal also. No problems for either of us despite recent things,and we have stashed away �£570!!!
Not quite millionaires but you can see how it mounts up!

 

Good work, Mr and Mrs Pal!

 

well done keep up the good work

 

Well done Pal! and Mrs Pal! that's a tidy sum that you might have spent on cigs! and some to put in the kitty for daughter's big day!

As an ex-smoker myself - gave up about 25 years ago - I think it's awful when you pass shops or offices and see a group of smokers huddled in the cold and/or rain in the doorways because they must have a cigarette. I have never been that desperate to smoke and that would be enough to put me off anyway!

Sorry to hear about your wrist WG hope it's sorted soon and I join Pal in wishing you Happy Birthday for Sunday - 21??? :D

 

Oh, yes, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! Sorry, that slipped my mind..... at least I remembered my own, though! :D

 

happy birthday pal im trying to stop smoking

 

Congrats on kicking the weed Paladin, & Mrs Pal too!! You'll have a small fortune stashed before you know it and then you can blow it on enjoying yourselves.

Sorry to see you're off work again. Hope you're feeling better soon.
