Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
Don't feel like that Ida, a lot fail but have another go. You have to admit that you really want to give up which it sounds as if you don't and I don't blame you.
The hardest part is admitting to yourself you want to because it's not the addiction that keeps you smoking, it's the pleasure and enjoyment.
Step one and the biggest step is to really make the decision for yourself that you want to stop, that you're going to stop. When you can do that it becomes a lot less difficult.
I found seeing the smoking nurse and using the nasal spray worked really well.
2 and 1/2 years down the road and still not smoking. I never believed I could do it but realy glad I have. I love the smell of cigarette smoke - doesn't make me want one at all.
I think in the first few days the trick is to take it one hour then one day at a time and try to avoid the situations where you would routinely smoke
joined the smoking cessation at my local chemist, armed with patches and gum - got a fright and a ecg on thursday and now I do not want to stop - i have too.
So stopping tomorrow - 1ST FEB 2010
doing my weekly shop today so going to buy a big tub for the money and plenty heathier nibbles and extra cleaning stuff- we also have a new addition to the family - it's so cute - a rebbok step - perched in the living room - gonna use that as a distraction.
Hubby going it alone tomorrow - well with wine gums
so it' back on and this time I am going to go for GOLD
It has to be the strangest thing, you can be broke, but always find cash for fags. I used to amaze myself with that. Shame I can't do the same for bills.
ok well - no fags yesterday whooohooo - was easier than i thought acutally - fine at work got a bit apprehensive when OH came home - did not have to use the gum at all -
today - not too bad yet - OH was so snappy this morning - just laughed it off - feeling good so far
wobbly tonight i am tired and have no energy and i think thats making me crave more - but plodding through and my wee booklet from the chemist says tomorrow my energy levesl should start to increase canlt see that happening as feels like i have put on a stone in the last 3 days cause cannot stop munching
Ida - its only been 2 weeks for me but I remember day 3 like it was yesterday!
For me the absolute worst day was day 10 when I woke up in an absolutely foul mood and naturally blamed the lack of cigs - was nothing to do with them at all, was purely a bad mood!
You can do it - tell yourself you will do it and dont let others tell you differently!
No period of withdrawal is worse than the first 48 hours. Now that you've done that you can trust yourself to continue in the knowledge that the worst is behind you.
Cravings are transient, momentary and although hard, will pass.
