Good Morning Army,

I have just caught up with last nights thread and feel so damn proud of you all...
Cy, it was wonderful to hear how well you did at AA, i am delighted you have found somewhere you can really open up.
Oney, well done on notching up another day without smokes.
Everyone elses attitude is so upbeat that even though I feel a bit shitty, it made me feel good. We can all beat these crappy addictions. We just need time and support and thats what we get here...its lovely.
So, day 2 for me with no nicotine...last night I felt really quite unwell, a bit like I had flu, all achy, touchy and and sad...so I thought it best if I tuck myself away for the night. Anyway I fell asleep at 8 and woke at 5 this morning..so not bad..
I had some very strange drinking and smoking dreams involving lots of people from my past which was a bit disconcerting. I havent had a drinking dream for a long while...Is this the beast in his death throes?
Anyway, I am going to do my best to have a postive day today. Again it looks like I will be pretty much confined to staying in as all the snow we had yesterday has now frozen solid! Never mind....at least its day 2 and not day 1 again

Hi Starts and hello Army,

the mad nutter from Singapore is back... A very special hello to Oney the antichrist, she knows what i mean, just had to send that out to you before she starts weilding wooden spoons to break accross me arse.

Guys, to those of you who wrote me lovely messages yesterday when feeling down, thanks loads, I love you all for it. Am very grateful X

Starts, i had the most awful AL nightmare Tuesday, the mind (or mine especially) can be SO f**ked up at times.... i was really disorientated when i woke up ( and hadnt been near any grog) but wasnt quite sure where I was.
Hope you feeling better than yesterday

Neuro! Its great to see your little arse back here today!
I may well be taking over from oney today as the devil incarnate...this is me this morning


I think the dreams are our subconcious minds letting go of our bad habits.
Are you feeling better today?

Morning Starts and Neuro!!
Hang in there Starts, I also had the flu like symptoms and used them as a good excuse to put myself to bed for the day with a good book. Yesterday felt like I had the wind knocked outa me -- I just had NO energy to do anything at all, I could barely keep my eyes open at work.
I intend to keep myself very busy today as I am taking a bit of strain this morning.
Neuro, I hope today is a happy day for you:-)

Hiya Deebers! Thanks for that, I thought I was malingering or something! Yes, it does feel very much like flu doesnt it? In that case I will treat it as such...its similar to withdrawing from alcohol for me...I must just give it some time...
Are you feeling better today? How many days is it for you now?

It's a WHOLE week today Starts... can you believe?!? Come on, if I can do it, then so can you.
Treat yourself to a hot toddy (without the toddy ofcourse lol) lots of Vit C and rest.
I feel okay today, no bundle of energy, but hey I can't complain.
I'll be thinking of you today :-)

Hi Dee Bee,

yeah, Im doing better today.....onwards and upwards, and must think good thoughts. i had my first ever counselling session tuesday so thats where the bad dream came from, but it was horiffic, dreamt I was on the streets and my family and friends wanted nothing to do with me.......a lesson in there maybe.

Starts, you and Oney are so gutsy to fight your demons, I cant think of any two nicer antichrists ...but that is a scary picture....hope it does get easier, if I were you I would get back under the blankets fo a bit
