Hi Evelyn, so sorry to hear that you are having a crappy day! I am glad that you have posted an SOS, because that means that you do not want to smoke - you just want a hug or a kick up the backside (or both!). It sounds like your day has already been hard up until now... And you got this far without smoking. This just proves that you do not need to smoke! Smoking will absolutely not make your day better, but worse, so stop thinking that a cigarette is going to do anything positive for you! You are almost at 2 weeks, and you know as well as I do that it gets easier after that. Asking as you can remain smoke free today, then you will be stronger tomorrow - every battle won will help you win the war, but you can only fight on battle at a time ;) I know you can do this!

Taking back your freedom AND looking good while doing it - sounds good to me ;) And I know what you mean about time... How on earth did we find the time to smoke, I have no idea :p

Way to go Sandy! You are doing so well, and your attitude is just perfect :) Congratulations for the first 2 weeks of freedom which will last the rest of your life ;) Happy for you :)

Congratulations on 10 months! Thanks for all you do (and continue to do) for all of us here. I hope you have a great day ;)

Happy 13 months Nancy ;)

I will join you (((Doreen))) - NOPE

Doreen, you are such a special and kind person, and I couldn't be happier that you have reached the one year! You have been an inspiration and a friend to so many people, and made a difference to a lot of people. Thank you for your friendship (and good luck this season) :d

Sending prayers for you and your family.

You are doing great, Gabby :)

Happy 28th Birthday! What a great and young age to stop smoking! I hope you have a great day, and get everything that you want ;)

Sandy, when I had days like this in the beginning, I always made sure to treat myself to a little something. That always helped me a lot. Have you treated yourself recently?

Stressful days happen to both smokers and non-smokers... I handle stress so much better as a non-smoker, as in I actually deal with it, rather than run outside to 'deal with it' by smoking. Well done for getting through a crappy day as a beautiful nonsmoker :)

NOOOO ;) And I just couldn't imagine Doreen as a nudist, lol ;)

Yey, knackered is one of my favourite words! Did you get that from Tracey?! Hope the Chinese is tasty!

We all wait with baited breath... I think Tracey said that she had to be at the airport at 6am... so she should be there soon...! I need to know! Speak to you both when you have some free time ;) :p

Only one more Doreen!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe how close you are now! Only one month until your big 1 year anniversary! You are one of the nicest people I have met on this journey, and it is a honour to call you my friend. And it was great to see Beacon's mom this month too ;) Happy 11 months, soon the countdown begins ;)

Sending my best to you guys :)

Nope :)

Glad you didn't smoke! You know the only way you are going to get where you want to be is by not smoking! That is the ONLY way to beat this thing. Well done you for making the right choice today.

Wearing my pink t-shirt for you both :)

That's OK to feel like that Dancer, it's perfectly normal, and it will get a lot better over the coming days and weeks. You are giving yourself a great gift by not smoking. How are you feeling, exactly? Anything we can help you with?
