Six weeks tonight, friends. Thanks Doreen, Reci, DB, garry, and all before, I appreciate your words of wisdom and empathy. I'm going through some serious f-ing Trials right now, and despite it I am keeping that demon-bitch Nicotine at arm's length. Believe it. I've been 10 years quit, boys. I know how it feels to be free. I've said to myself, "you've made it, dude. You've been a non-smoker for so long you could never dream of going back." Yet I willingly jumped back into that pit. Thank God I've lived six weeks free from nicotine. One less burden to bear. Stay strong, my friends.

More than 2 months quit now @tocevoD; that's GREAT! Keep up the good work! You're through the worst of it now just remain on guard so when that nicodemon whispers in yourear, you can just kick him to the curb

Alcohol and cigarettes are both very addictive substances that most often go hand in hand with each other. Good for you for gaining an awareness of how you personally relate to them. Don't let your guard down. You're doing great!

Just checking in again. Had a stressful week or 2 just gone. Been in and out of the hospital with my son, appendix had to be removed. All went well then we were back about a week later with a flare up. Thankfully it came to nothing. Never once felt the need to head to the shop for the dreaded ciggies. I feel like a non smoker now. Sporadically having the lozenges. I can go without them but still like the taste so need to get going on finding myself a pack of nicotineless lozenges. Could be the final hurdle. Haven't been out for a drink as yet which was always a hurdle in the past. I actually feel like I don't want to drink anymore aswell as that makes me wake up the next day feeling like death warmed up no matter how many I have. I sometimes think I have some sort of allergy to drinking and ciggies as both make me feel anxious, alcohol the day after and ciggies as and when I'd have one. Maybe my body is telling me to steer clear of alcohol aswell. Anyway, got to keep fighting the good fight. Off the patches and only sporadically taking lozenges as I say. It's been a good few months. Just got to keep going.

Good morning everyone, Happy to be here this morning with my quit in tact. This weekend, I spent time with family and did some partying with friends. Yes, I was romancing smokING big time and honestly came very close to smoking. I still have work to do to get to a headspace where I completly stop romancing the smoke. Well today, not having one puff. Cheers, Gene
