Happy birthday my friend! I hope you have a great day, and hope to hear from you soon. Hip, Hip, Hooray! :dance3:

NOPE

I am so proud of you Gabby, 1 year is an amazing accomplishment, and you should definitely go out and spoil yourself silly today - look at your ticker, you are rich!! Well done Gabby, I had no doubt about you getting to this milestone :wub:

Hello, JK, I think we have met before some time ago! Good to see you, and glad that you are making the choice to stop smoking :) If you have any questions, please just ask!

Sure is. You are probably further than me. No spoilers! ;)

The first 3 seasons are on Amazon Prime. Don't know if it's on normal tv of any other services, but it's about a team of people working for the gouvernmemt in an office in the US (what I imagin working in a council office would be like here). It's got some people you would recognise - that guy from Guardians of the Galaxy / the new Jurassic Park and Rob Lowe. It's pretty straightforward and easy to follow, and just funny. The characters work well together, and the episodes are only about 20 minutes, so it's easy to fit in.

That's awesome Nixter, just sitting out, enjoying the lovely fresh air...! You really are doing great, and I'm sure all your friends and family are really proud of you right now :) Like you say, it does get easier over time, and each time you get past one if those stupid junkie craves, you will be a bit stronger for it. Keep going, and stay close :)

Hey Shaun, nice to meet you. I decided to join an online community after I'd quit... when I felt like I had to do something different than I had tried before! I joined an online community on day 16 of my quit, and never looked back. The reason I am still at this particular place, is because of all the great people, who are now some of my good friends. I had a little break for a few months recently, but now I am back, looking forward to getting back into the swing again :)

Does anyone else watch this fun little office mockumentary? We started recently and are up to about season 4. It's got a lot of heart :)

Yes, get some nice candles and things, they smell so much nicer than stale yucky smoke! I think when the time eventually does come, you will not be tempted to smoke - you have far too much knowledge and experience to get tricked into it. and like you say, there is always NOPE! and us :d

I just spoke to Sue, and she said that she is well, and starting a new job tomorrow. Obviously she is still smoke-free :) She said she has forgotten her password, but I will try to get her to logon and say Hi...! In the meantime, she asked me to say 'Hi' to you all from her with a few 'xxx' s ;)

Yay, happy birthday Nancy, I hope you have a very special day indeed :wub:

That's awesome that you NOPE'd from your holiday! NOPE over here, too :)

Yes, all of the above, and where is Lace too...?

Nice to meet you Nixter - and congrats on being a non-smoker :) Quitting smoking and joining this place was literally the smartest thing I have ever done... Before I quit, it was like I was living a half life. So many wonderful things have happened to me because I no longer smoke, and I cannot recommend being smoke free enough :) Please stay close and we will try to help you. Start by taking it one crave at a time and then one day at a time - you can do this! It might feel like a challenge at times, but it is certainly possible, and the benefits are endless :) And good luck with your surgery!

NOPE

Hi Michelle, congrats on day 3, that is a great start - the hardest days are the first 3! I know what you mean about it being easy to just pop outside for a quick 'just one', but there a a whole lot of stupid things we can all do that are 'easy' and bad for us at the same time. Sometimes we should do the things that are not the 'easy' option. That's what we are here for; to support you through those tough decisions. And each time it will get easier to resist making a bad decision ;) You can do this!

Awesome frez; that is some bike!

NOPE

NOPE

That's awesome Joe. The only wildlife I've seen in my garden recently is next doors cat, who likes to poop in my garden... I did see a frog a few weeks ago, which was pretty unusual.

Hello, nice to meet you. What a great decision you have made... We have all been where you are right now, and we are all now non-smokers because we made that decision amd stuck to it. Try to take it a day at a time, and not get overwhelmed. You will quickly realise how much better your life can be when you are no longer a slave to nicotine. You can do this! :)

I am so sorry to hear this Bonnie :( You are right, you do need to stay strong for your daughter... Please show her (and yourself) your strength by not smoking. And please stay close so we can help you. (((Bonnie)))

NOPE

Have a good one. Don't do anything I wouldn't do ;)
