That dress is awesome! I would go for the gothic look and wear a bustier underneath (hee hee) but you are right, a good fitting bra will improve it. It is a special day after all, so you can be extra-daring (hee hee). Don´t do anything until April next year though.... between the nerves, the quit, the excitement.. you could change your shape by then... You have dark long hair? How will you be wearing it? How exciting!!!!! Just makes sure Mr. Leanna doesn´t see this thread... that bad luck nonsense you know :P

I hope Dancer will not give up giving up. She did great last year. She can do it. Dancer, woman, come on! We want you to join us... whatever the circumstances. :friends:

I´m looking at your pics with a stupid grin on my face.... :girl_haha: Awww.... you look wonderfully happy. And I´m happy for you. Enjoy yourselves! :first_move:

I´m not there yet, but I did get to be there at some point last year, and I remember how good it felt... I want to be there with you.... and I know the way. It´s straight and narrow and it is signposted " N.O.P.E. " Congratulations for reaching that beautiful place! :good:

Fingers crossed for your F.I.L. But glad it is good news so far. It is good news all round today! :yahoo: :girl_pinkglassesf:

Great news. I´m so glad everything is under control now. Massive hug (((((((((((((((((((((((( Bakon and Mrs. Bakon ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) :give_heart:

WOW!!!! :girl_crazy: I can´t believe it!!!!! One month! Weeks 1 and 2 were awful, and then some days have been terrible since then, but suddenly it feels like the last few days have been easier. Even with the alcohol, the excitement, the stress at work... - At work I hardly think of smoking. When I was smoking I was going out every half an hour on a bad day, now it doesn´t even cross my mind, and if my work mate goes out to smoke the smell disgusts me. I don´t know what he smokes, but it surely is the best antidote. His cigarettes stink and he smells even worse. - I´ve never been a smoker around my driving. I only started getting my driving licence when I was quit, and every time I relapsed one of the first thing that went out of the window was the driving classes. Lack of confidence or something... side effect of smoking. So now as soon as I start thinking of driving I´m a different person. Smoking doesn´t even cross my mind. - At home... well, sometimes I do think about it, but try and get myself busy with something. I do tend to be indoors more often, that´s true, but with this heat I´m using the aircon and congratulate myself that is is nice and cool in here... I´m losing my tan!!!! (when I smoked I was a closet smoker sitting at the bottom of the garden and throwing the butts in the corner) - Beach, bars, restaurants, out and about.... I´m relaxed and have my wine, so I do rather well out there. If I smell cigarettes and I like the smell I have to turn my mind to something else, but it happens less and less often. For me the biggest trigger at the moment is stress. Frustration. Exhaustion. Clients phoning on Friday nights or sending stuff on Sundays by email (or Facebook, believe it!). When i could actually lose it, I do mentally remind myself that smoking will solve nothing and will make things worse, but I can´t wait for the day when I don´t have to make such a mental effort... Well, guys, if I´ve made it to one month... so can you Sandy, Evelyn, Vic, Humbled... all the newer newbies... just hold on, and post SOS if you need help, but DO NOT SURRENDER!!!!! :give_heart: Thank you for your support!

Evelyn, you are doing great. You are taking control. Day by day sometimes, hour by hour sometimes, but it is working. Not the easiest of quits, but that is a battle that you are definitely winning. Please celebrate your success and don´t let anything take that away from you. If you feel down, eat something yummy, or have a bubble bath, or spoil yourself a bit. Smoking will NOT make you feel better... you´ll feel WORSE. And you know it... but nicodemon tries and tries and tries again. Please do not let him win. YOU are winning this time. (((((((((((((((((((((((Evelyn)))))))))))))))))))))))

:yahoo: Tickers are ticking and we are becoming non-smokers. I will not smoke today. Will you? N.O.P.E. :give_heart:

And off they went... As always, the preparation was worse than the actual thing. Only my friend and my ex smoked. The rest were never-smokers. And the two people I had never met before, were actually ex-smokers. I love meeting ex-smokers. It´s like meeting somebody from your own loony religion. They un-ders-tand ;-). Great!. Knackered now. And I have to work tomorrow. And the house is covered in..... muck? I don´t even know what it is... a mix of candle wax, cat fur, dog fur, sand, wrapping paper... I´ll sort it out tomorrow... Next lot comes next Thrusday (another smoker) and then the following weekend I go to Malaga with my first smoker friend... And I have to work in between.... Don´t worry... even if I had any intention to smoke, I wouldn´t have time to do it ;-) Life is great! And I´m great too.... about two sizes greater, but that´s for another thread, for another time... :give_heart:

Morning Sue and everybody! N.O.P.E. :-)

Two weeks is awesome. CONGRATULATIONS! :good:

It is a hot and sticky Saturday here... Perfect for NOPE´ing :sun_bespectacled:

the friends from Madrid. The chimney friends ... My friend turns 61 so we are throwing a surprise´ish party at my house. My ex is here helping me, puffing away at leisure. Two more arrive at 6.30pm, and the rest tomorrow... Tomorrow night I´m entertaining around 14 people, some of which I´ve never met (I bet they smoke too). We have a bbq (more smoke). It is going to be fun. It is going to be fun. It is going to be fun. It´s going to be fun. Please repeat with me... it´s going to be fun. I´m telling because I´m fretting, and in my experience, the more I fret, the more I preempt, and the more I tell and make a fuss about it... the easier it actually is when it happens. So there you go. Please repeat with me. It is going to be fun. :spruce_up:

How awesome reading your post next to your super-duper picture of "new Jimmy" !!! :) Or should we start calling you "supper-Jimmy" :bb: :good: You rock! :give_heart:

We have Shark-shark, we have Bat-shark, and now we also have...

Good Morning! Beatiful non-smoking Friday for all of us. N.O.P.E. :beach:

I´ve given up on the counting game... Most of the time I´m on my phone and I can´t see the last screen... what I think is the last screen is in fact an OLD screen... So I make a fool of myself and I look like I can´t count... Well I can´t count anyway.... but not that bad :-(

Super-duper well done mate boss!!!!!!

Your post brought tears to my eyes. I´ve been away for too long and haven´t kept up with everybody´s circumstances. Now I see yours were really important, and you fought and won. I´m mega-proud of you, and I´m sure you are too. Love :give_heart:

That´s another day done and dusted. And you have kept your quit, bravo!. :yahoo: Hopefully tomorrow will be better... sure! It WILL be better! :yes: :give_heart:

I feel like a peeping tom... :wacko: But I can´t help it... it is soooooo romantic :wub: And it is their fault for sharing... :laugh2:

Thank you Mr. Bakon for reminding mum that we have no cat food left Bubbles & Molly ;)

Evelyn, you are doing great. Posting an SOS and asking for help is just a sign that you DO NOT WANT TO SMOKE. You are stronger than you think. Do treat yourself for doing so well... you deserve it. And I won´t give you a kick, but a hug (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Evelyn)))))))))))))))))))))))))) :friends: p.s. do not watch Bambi.... :cray:

You´ve got it!!!!
