another one forgetting his years in short trousers LOL
Some days are like that im afraid. You just need to fight it every now and then. Its a lot weasier when you get to the stage you are at now as the main crux of the problem is sorted. I reckon 3 weeks is the key amount of time to really get the craving out of your head.
I sometimes dream i have smoked and im really cross when i wake up in the morning. Again thats a common dream amongst non smokers.
Keep up the good work
I just think there is a medallion man in you trying to get out!!! :lol: I mean, the animal king with make-up ( to either hide behind or make you look even better, if that is at all possible?!?! ... great :lol:... go for it, strut your stuff...
well done mate
Were you working in this house ,, as in a customer.?
If so then you were within your rights to ask him to not smoke.. it is classed as a work place and comes under the smoking ban at work...
I was working yeah, didn't realise it was part of the ban. I'm pricing for their bathroom tomorrow so I'll not complain eh!

I'm doing ok. Nearly two weeks now without any problems. I was staying in a hotel in Solihull the last two nights while on a course and spending evenings in the bar and didn't let myself down by smoking. The inhaler is definitely a big help plus you don't have to go outside for a puff on it

Thats your real uninhibited thoughts at work (both of you)
I guess its like eating cheese or drinking before sleep, its got to affect you in some way. They say sleep is more disturbed with alcohol but i guess any substance that can alter your mind or body will have an affect.
Sweet dreams guys

Lion
To see a lion in your dream, symbolizes great strength, courage, aggression and power. You will overcome some of your emotional difficulties. As king of the jungle, the lion also represents dignity, royalty, leadership, pride and domination. You have much influence over others. You also need to exercise some restraint in your own personal and social life.
To dream that you are attacked by a lion, suggests that a force may be driving you to self-destruction. You need overcome these challenges and obstacles. To see a black lion in your dream, represents a negative force. You are using your position of power for evil.
Makeup
To dream that you are applying makeup, suggests that you are trying to cover up or conceal an aspect of yourself. Alternatively, it indicates that you are putting on your best face forward. You are trying to enhance your self-image and increase your sense of self-confidence. The dream may also be a metaphor that you need to "make up" with someone. It is time to forgive and forget.
To dream that you are wearing too much makeup, indicates that you are putting too much emphasis on beauty and outside appearances rather than what is inside.
I would suggest then Sandy if the lion is wearing make up, then you know deep down you are strong enough to beat the addiction, but perhaps you have to put on a brave face to convince others?
online dream dictionaries are ace :lol:

Everyone will know what I'm on about here. I was in a heavy smoking household yesterday, the fella was chain smoking in the house all day which was pretty unpleasant. It wasn't until I got home smelt my clothes!!! Its amazing how much more noticable the smell is when you're a non-smoker. It makes me wonder if thats how I smelt all the time when I smoked.

I'm doing fine ( stopped 10th Jan) and it's much easier than I thought it would have been .....in fact it feels too easy. Is it due to the available aids like patches and inhalers?
I'm increasingly more confident I'll never smoke again as I'm beginning to feel plenty of benefits and have a sense of freedom with my life not being governed by the craving. I always thought any recent quitters who said the smell of smoke was quite horrible were kidding themselves but I find it pretty nasty now and it's certainly not down to a craving.
My advice to anyone considering stopping is go for it as the withdrawal wasn't nearly as bad as I thought and I've started on cutting down on the nicotine levels in the patches and so far so good.
Getting your sense of smell back aint all that great tho.....my wife's feet are rotten sometimes!!!

ITs that fear of the withdrawl that stops people trying. Its a great feelin though isnt it.
My dads place stinks of ciggies, he is still smoking but only every now and then. However i still reek of it when i leave and always have to wash my clothes etc when i get home. Consequently i wont take my kids with me to see him.

Congratulations Sandy. :5:
Of course there IS NO WITHDRAWAL when you stop smoking. At least, there is a mild feeling of hunger, but thats it. So why the big fuss about stopping smoking? Why all the rubbish about smokers being addicts who need public support etc. etc.? The reason is that smoking addiction is 99% a phsychological problem, and 1% a physical problem. If you train your mind not to worry about not smoking, you will suffer no reaction.imp2:
That is why the two of the most successful methods of helping people to stop smoking involve either "unlearning" all the myths about what smoking does for you, or else Hypnotism, that simply diverts your mind away from the smoking habit. I know - I smoked for 35 years, and stopped with absolutely no support at all - except to read a book that readjusted my mental perceptions of smoking.
So if anyone else is thinking of stopping smoking - do not waste your money (or that of the NHS) with nicotine replacement. It is a total waste of money. The nicotine is a mentally addictive drug and taking nicotine to help stop the nicotine addiction is as stupid as it sounds when you write it down! :mad2: Dont use nicorette or anything similar - the craving does not exist if you mentally condition yourself first.
Either spend your money buying one of the books, DVD's or CD's that talk to you about your smoking, or join a support group. But keep smoking until the day you light up a cigarette, and realise, it tastes of nothing special, it does not relax you or help you cope with stress, you feel exactly the same after as you did before you smoked that cigarette, it does absolutely nothing to enhance your life and frankly you wonder why you bothered lighting it up. Then you really will stop smoking for good. :hurray:
