Ooh my - will never look at barbies the same - will always be on the lookout for the naked vegetarians !! For a start - you have already identified potential triggers a- so that is a good start. Will your non smoking friends be there ? If so - tell them your concerns up front and ask them to keep an eye out for you. Also - take snacks - I'm sure you can keep them discrete - so if the salad doesn't feel appealing - you have something to put in your mouth other than a cig ! Remember we are here if you need :-)

Woo hoo - congratulations !

Hey Marti - glad you posted your SOS and saw what awesome support was provided - but it was you that did the hard work - congrats on your victory

Hey Laura - you are definitely not a dick ! Just remember to jump straight back on the train and that we are all here for you when you do !

Hey Stuart congratulations on an awesome 3 months - appreciate all the support you give

Congrats Aine - 2 months is fantastic

Hey Aine - I loved that moment when I realised I could sit for more than an hour without spontaneous self combustion ! Didn't make the meetings more interesting - but at least I could smugly look at the squirming smokers ! It is great that you can see cravings as annoying rather than agonising - and it will keep getting better Oh - and when are we seeing the new hair do ??

Sounds like a good night - except of course for the craves, falling off the chair and knicker flashing bit !! The good news is each time you face down these situations the stronger you get ! Oh and give your friends a thank you hug for me - they sound like awesome support !

Hey Marti - just saw this - but way to kick a crave in the you know what's - you did awesome posting an SOS and I think this whole post proves that this board rocks ! Keep letting us know how you are going - cos we all want to be here for you
