Happy non-smoking birthday, Vic!!!! First of many to come!

Prayers and hugs to you and Quita. Please don´t forget that more than 80% of breast biopsies are negative. They have to be done and lumps have to be checked but most chances are the result will be negative. I know... that doesn´t help much when you have two weeks of hell waiting for the results. My thoughts are with you.

Ha Ha I LOVE YOUR TICKER!!!!! :yahoo: I´ll pledge with you. The only way to get a ticker like yours is to N.O.P.E. every day. Smoking is Not an Option Today. :give_heart:

Arsenal, yeah? :P No? :o :blink:

Weird day for me. - Morning pledge... oh, somebody has sent me this mega-funny dog video in Facebook... I´ll post it for Bakon... hmmm... maybe not. Maybe it is not the right time, as his wife is having surgery... - Lunch board check-up... oh, let´s play some games in social... .hmmm... maybe not. Not today. Bakon´s wife is having surgery.... fingers crossed everything goes ok... - Afternoon cravings... oh, let´s go and vent how awful I feel... how I "want/fancy/think of a cigarette right now... at this very moment... " Yeah, sure... Bakon´s wife is undergoing surgery, and all I can think of is I am soooo miserable.... because.... I bloody fancy... a cigarette??????? Am I for real? Oh, please, let´s get real here... apart from people having really serious phychological issues... the rest of us CAN and SHOULD do it without that much ado... We are ONLY quitting smoking. In the comfort of our own homes. Let´s get real, peeps. :-(

Thank you for letting us know. You are a wonderful partner. (((((((((((((((((((((((Bakon and Mrs. Bakon))))))))))))))))))))))))))

"flippertips" ... genius! ;-) I knew you would do it. When is the house warming party???? :-)

Not doing anything special today... Other than not smoking. Which is special, isn´t it? N.O.P.E. :dance2:

Thinking of you.

Hi Dancer! Some days are hard. I´ve been through a few hard days recently too. I think we all have... been through hell and back at the beginning. We can only hold on. I don´t want to smoke. The mere thought makes me gag. The smell, the thought, makes me gag. But I still get this feeling that "I want to smoke". Weird. Well, I know what would happen if I smoked.... I would gag. And I´d feel like I have failed myself. Stay focus and do not let your junkie win over your thinking brain. Strength, my friend. Please hold on ((((((((((((((((((((((((Dancer)))))))))))))))))))))))

I´m with you. N.O.P.E. :beach:

Tracey, have a comfortable and safe journey. Enjoy every single butterfly and every single bubble. These could be the happiest time of your life. Enjoy! Looking forward to catching up with your posts from the other side of the pond. (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Tracey))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Oh, I´m sure the kits will realise sooner or later.... but don´t be disappointed if they don´t. They are kids, their minds are all over the place... please report here when they realise... I´m sure it will be awesome! :-)

I will not smoke today. N.O.P.E. No I wont. Baby... :dance2:

Thanks Action. I´m glad I didn´t relapse yesterday. I feel empowered that I didn´t succumb yesterday. I don´t think I´ll ever get as close to surrender as I was yesterday. In the other hand, had I relapsed yesterday, I don´t know how I would have felt today. Awful surely is an understatement. Just keep marching! :)

Hi. Thanks for your responses. I can feel you do care. Thanks. I feel fine now. I´m glad I didn´t smoke. I´m not glad I have to deal with these weaknesses at this time. I should have prepared myself better...

This is from my "I can´t wait to quit" introduction: I just want to kick myself in the bum... hard... that was me talking one month ago.... and this is me one month later, having learned nothing. Oh, I just find it so difficult to open up!!!!!

Hi. I´m back. I was going to the shop. I was going to throw my quit away. Just like that. Well, not "just like that". Since last night I´ve been doubting my quit and feeling really anxious. This morning I lost it. It was physical, it was mental. It wasn´t good. It´s day three without nicotine. I looked for chewing gum but I couldn´t find any. There is where I cracked. In my search I found a blister of ****zepam, so I took one after lunch, with glass of wine, and seeing it wasn´t working, I posted the SOS with the intention of going to the shop. Then it worked. It knocked me out. And I just wake up now. Dizzy. Dizzy but still quit. I hope it is just a temporary thing and tomorrow I´ll be back to normal. Thank you for responding and I apologise for worrying you. Thank you. And please do not even think of mixing medicines and alcohol. Never. OK?

I want to smoke. I´m only posting my SOS out of respect for you. These are the rules. I´ll wait for three responses. Sorry.

Well done on jumping in! That is usually the hardest part, now it is all about staying afloat. Enjoy it. Enjoy the first couple of days knowing that your body is complaining because it i addicted to the stuff and doesn´t like being cleansed, like a smelly mucky pup that bites when you direct the hose at them. Tough titty. Enjoy it because you will only have to go through this shite this once, and that will be that.

You did it! The first week is gone... now it is all upwards and onwards, and you know you can do it.

Massive achievement. One week + is a great milestone.

You are rocking it Tiffany! Your friends must be sooooo jealous that you kicked the addiction! Well done! :good:

N.O.P.E. for me too... definitely! I will not smoke today. :beach:
