Gday You mean we have to party through to the 13th …..Ok…. I’ll give it go. Woops sorry congrats Garry. Looks like we started without you

Indeed! Congratulations Garry 🥳.

Early's better than late!! Besides; 10 years deserves two celebrations 🥳🎉

Congratulations @garry mhudson on an impressive 10 years smoke free!! What an amazing achievement! I hope you're very proud of yourself! I'll celebrate your party on 13th lol

I think I made a mistake, his anniversary is on the 13th, so we will celebrate early!!!😆

Sad to hear this but you have actually let yourself down; not us. One day you'll be back at a point of wanting to rid yourself from the chains of addiction. I just hope it's in time to save your health from seroius effects smoking can be the root cause of. And yes, as @RebeccaFinneyAuthor said; it's important to uderstand what brought you to the moment in time where you decided somking would be the best option for you. We all learn from out mistakes but that's only if we realize why we made those mistakes. Best wishes to you @Pilgrim!

Congratulations Gary… Welcome to the Lido Deck… Take your drink …Take your seat …enjoy the view … Let’s Party 🐸

Congratulations @garry mhudson. A whole DECADE!!! So inspiring. Give that man a standing ovation!

Congratulations @garry mhudson on 10 years smoke free! 🎉 That is a huge accomplishment, you should be so proud of yourself. You are a huge roll model for all of us.👍

NOPE!! For tomorrow.

Labor Day NOPE!!

You really haven't let anyone else down @Pilgrim , only yourself however I think even if you're not ready now to quit, I still strongly recommend sticking around and re-reading everything here and watching the videos again. It WILL happen that you'll find the strength in you to quit for good. I hope you're doing okay and do come back to update us if you can. You have everyone's support here. 😊

Better early than late 😂

@DenaliBlues I'm doing okay still struggling but I bought some more gum today and started this morning. Doctor says the "widow maker" artery is 70 % blocked so kinda been sitting on that. I go in in two weeks so they can look at all the test and cts to see what exactly is going on and what my options are. Thank you for checking on me 😊

How are things going for you @shy?

WOW!!! 10 Years is a BIG Milestone @garry mhudson Congratulations on your achievement 🍻

Congratulations on 10 years smoke free @garry mhudson Great job!

Hi @Sal. So great that you've come back. This is 100% the right place to get support and ditch those smokes once and for all! I quit using patches and the occasional lozenge to help me get through the initial withdrawal phase. That approach can definitely work if you combine it with a true commitment to quitting. The next time you have the urge to smoke, try popping a lozenge and doing something different to distract yourself. I did a LOT of wall push-ups and house-cleaning chores for those first few weeks, to stay busy and keep my mind off of the cravings. It's tough at first, but it gets easier. You can do this! Let us know how it goes.

I come here for support....to vent....to encourage....to listen and speak truths. I will continue to come here for my first year, because whoever I made this pledge to originally kinda knows what he's talking about.....when people slip away from their supportive community, they often slip away from their commitment to NOPE. I read something the other day that made me ask myself....."Well Julie, why do you come here?" I see, and am experiencing something very similar to recovery from other addictions that I have and have sought treatment for. There is proven power in a community of positive support. I don't come here to 'save' people......not because I don't want to save people, but because I cant save people. As it is with any diagnoses, I can help you treat your cancer, but I cannot save you from your cancer. I can help you treat your addiction.....but I cannot save you from your addiction. But the strange thing is.....and if it weren't so amazing, it would be ridiculous, When I help you, I save myself from my own addiction. Im making the commitment.....Im committing to one year here. (I really feel as if Im just re-committing. Ive already made a pledge to stay with a supportive non-smoking community for one year. In 12 step circles, many of us have something called a 'home group': a place where we commit ourselves to showing up as much for ourselves as for others. Ive done nothing more than change my 'home group'. My committment stands. It just stands here) :)
