Pippa

Hi Anna - late to the party as usual ( you will find that normal for me !!). Welcome aboard and congrats on a great quit to date.

Is that Colonel Blimp or colonel Klink ..... Hogan!! Mmmm - another sherry mayhaps ?? Or is a stout man in a skirt called Colonel Blimp in the motherland ??

Sue - nooooo - say it ain't so ! Not happy you smoked but glad you have owned it and jumped back on the train - now you just need to work out what you will different next time hubby is back. In the mean time - remember NOPE and also that these are the times to use an SOS !

Love you Jen - but no chance - not even for your one year anny am I eating those foods together !

Awesome work Rachael - this place is the perfect place to bitch and never feel guilty about posting an SOS - you have already seen that we all want to support each other - and I for one think it is great to see all these responses - reminds me how strong this community is As for the your plan of attack - love the perfect combination of running followed by junk food and wine

Hey Evelyn - you have already identified a possible trigger - so go prepared - take distractions like candy or whatever treat you like - for me it was licorice - plus make sure you have a bottle of water. You know you will face a challenge but go in prepared and you can do this - just remember NOPE !!

Welcome Laura - congrats on a great decision Read as much as you can and plan distractions for possible cravings I used exercise and licorice ! I also found a quit journal very helpful- it helped me remember why I quit in the first place and was a great tool down the journey when I romanced the cig ! Edit - to correct spelling !!

Amy - so sorry you smoked but admire you getting back on the board and posting - you have already received great advice - so I will just reiterate that we are here to support you when you jump back on the train !

Congrats - awesome work

Sorry Rob - maybe you are right but - at least today everyone one gets a trophy - no winners or losers at sport these days !

(((Julie ))) - sending you hugs and prayers!

Congratulations - 9 months is fantastic

Woo hoo- great job Tracey - so proud of you !

Hey Action - sending positive thoughts your way ! Julie thinking about you too - it is uncomfortable but the alternative is worse!

Hey Annael - think of all the money you saved not smoking - surely you can justify a kitty For the record my 2 little rescue cats - Machu and Cusco ! Babs - hope your little one is feeling better !!

Glad you made it safe and sound - just not sure what you mean by us Aussies making no sense - damn poms And I have said it before - what do you call a"nice" day in England ?- a freezing day in Australia

Congrats Comrade - awesome job
