DEJA VU



Here we go again.

Beasts annual 'give up smoking and diet' train wreck.

This time I have enrolled with smoke stop for 1-to-1 therapy , rather than the ghastly group therapy session

ahem ' My names Beast and I am a smoker'

***embarrassed ragged round of applause***

Bollocks to that , I am also giving the new drug Champix a try .I have started the drug but don't have to give up smoking till next week .

Now Champix is generally very good in 70% of people but has some startlingly bad side effects in a few , so they are quiet careful with monitoring you in the early stages . My session today started with my counsellor ,we shall call him The twat in the cravat , yes yes he actually wears a cravat , and has that foppish Lawrence Llewellyn Bowen 'artistic' bleating voice .He peered at me closely, like he was inspecting some sort of laboratory experiment that is about to explode , then asked me very loudly and slowly if I had gone mental yet.

He gave every indication of not believing me and was somewhat disappointed when I said I hadn't.

Still he cheered up a little when informing me the REAL danger period was the next week when the dose doubles ,and then chirruped happily 'how some of his clients had had some really AWFUL incidents but not to worry nobody has died......... YET '.

So feeling suitably motivated .....I left . If I haven't gone frothing mad by next week , I think he may cry.

Just to make things interesting I have also gone back to Slimming World . Why make yourself suffer with giving up smoking , when you can starve yourself to death at the same time.

I shall let you all know how its going , In the mean time if you hear anything howling at the moon.

Its probably just me!


AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Mr C , with an attitude like that you could get a job as a Smoke Stop Counsellor :-)

I just quit, too - cause MY BREAK WAS OVER. No droppin' of the smokes and no diet, either.

You know what diet is, don't you?

DIE with a "t" at the end.

Not for me.

What you need, Beast, is a near death experience with a dangerous predator. It will change your whole outlook on life. Giving up smoking will be a piece of cake. As will giving up cake.

INNER VOICES said...

*flees the scene before being womped with the shovel, not before leaving pack of smokes and lighter on table with note saying "do not smoke these".*

I have worked in the kitchens of Cafe C , Mr B , it doesnt get any scarier than that . Hence the motivation to give up this time :-)

Daisy said...

beast...be very very careful...that is some dangerous stuff...i'm not trying to scare you away or get you not to stop smoking, that is your choice...but check it out online and LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY to everything your doctor tells you...take notes if you have to...please...i know a few people who used that and had a very very rough time of it...they said it was great for quitting but as soon as they were off they wanted a cig immediately...and just in case your doc didn't tell you...it does change synapse responses in your brain...so be very very careful...please...

Leah said...

Beating people with shovels could definitely fill in for a smoke now and again!

The Mistress said...

Have you coughed up anything green yet?

Why do we punish ourselves by giving up pleasurable experiences just for an extra five years dribbling in the corner of the rest home?

Andrea said...

I have been wheat, dairy and caffiene free for a whole week....it isn't nice Beast really it isn't. But the doc says...you have to try so I am.

But more than anything I would like a two shot venti latte with cinnamon syrup...thank you...

BEAST said...

wheat , dairy and caffiene free , is there anything left Lippy ?

The Mistress said...

If all Madonna’s years of yoga workouts and natural foods have led to this, we might as well all smoke, drink and eat ourselves into oblivion.

eroswings said...

Best of luck with quitting smoking and embarking on a diet. Most of all best wishes on making your therapist cry...

FirstNations said...

hey, I'll take Mr. C 'in hand'!!! *hops up and down excitedly, sings 'I Know What Boys Like'*

I found that I needed to fill the absence of one habit with another, hence my weekly consumption of an entire tin of peppermint Altoids. hell, it works, and you can play stackies with the little metal boxes when you're done with the candies.

FirstNations said...

..or use them to store your drugs in. seriously. oxycontin looks just like an altoid. if only they came in peppermint....

Had you thought of investing in a home steam room? You can make one yourself by simply boiling water on both rings of the cooker and donning all your cagoules and waterproofs... then standing next to them. !! Thats my great home tip - watch out it encourages fungii!

The Mistress said...

Dust. Anybody? No? High in fat, low in fat? Dust. Anybody? No? Dust. Anybody? No? Dust. Anybody? No? Dust. Anybody? No? Dust. Anybody? No? Dust. It's actually very low in fat. You can have as much dust as you like.

So glad I took up running cross-country early enough to make those devil ciggies a no-no for my track meet obsessed pre-teen mind.

My rich liquors and strong coffee habits are all I can manage. And best of luck to you on your annual trainwreck!

Letty I only took it up to annoy my parents
