Let us know good people :)

Sending someone a vent PM (yes sorry guys) or having a beer. Or buying something lol

I would suggest bringing a blindfold, just incase... You never know at these wine parties rofl. So what time is the party? Just need to plan how much caffeine I need to drink today ;)

Again, if I need to do anything, search for key words like crazy and click on links and things like that please tell me. I am here and willing (even if I don't have the faintest idea how this all works lol).

Good for you Paula. I try to buy myself something small fairly often (and not so small occasionally too lol). But in general I just have more £ in my pocket everyday which is great for going out for meals :)

Hey Beth, I know how you feel lol. I'm glad you are here. I think you should be free to make your own decisions without having to worry what your 'friends' think of you. It would be a massive loss if you weren't here.

Thank you LB. Send him my love if you are able to. And you ARE a great quit buddy even if you can't remember the exact date ;)

I was going through the list, kept checking but it wasn't obvious to me... I think she is having a hard time at the moment :( On a brighter note, aren't we an awesome community if we notice that just one person is missing? I think you are all fantastic :)

Nope from me

You are dealing with a lot of things all at once Sarah, so you are bound to feel like this. I agree that mum hugs really are great and should make you feel so much better. And new shoes? Surely they would help you feel a little bit better ;)

Thank you Aine. Really really helpful

Oh no Sue, just what you didn't need! I'm so sorry, and poor Lucas... He's been through the wars hasn't he. Sounds like he's going to have some battle scars after this! Thinking of you and hoping you day gets a heck of a lot better from here on out. (((Sue & Lucas)))

Not authorised? Jenny, Babs, Colleen any ideas? Really great work not smoking today. Tomorrow wil be day 3 yippee!!

... Wine Party?...

Great to see you over here :)

Tally Ho and all that ;)

Weird milestone? Doesn't matter - Marti we should be celebrating for you every day. Not only are you smoke free yourself but you put so much time into helping others - family and internet family... We are all so happy for you and proud of you. Now go and buy yourself a nice big great to celebrate - congratulations on 5 weeks and a day ;) (((Marti)))

(((Marti)))

I'm sure you will be fine LB, but take extra care, ok?

Hey Lisa, that's really great - happy you are well and smoke free :) Good to see you, and I hope that you get some time off away from work this weekend to relax ;)

Sarge you are making me drool...

Sarah you are very special, you are the first newbie who found us on your own - we will look after you ;) Like Babs says, we are new :)

My wife dyes her hair red. Pretty similar colour to that video ;)

Sarah, Marti had a great idea there - write up a list of all of theose great things you want to buy yourself, and then if you feel tempted to smoke, look at the list - would you rather all of those wonderful treats, or a stinky cigarette? I have a wish list on Amazon, and I pretty much buy myself something every few days - sometimes small things that only cost a couple of quid each, sometimes bigger things if I haven't bought anything for a while... You have reminded me to go look at my list - I think I deserve a treat ;)

Hey Sarah, You are exactly where you should be, and crying is really good - cry to your hearts content! So yeah, day 2 can be a toughie... but it is not impossible. You already did day 1, which is by far the hardest. Now that you are a non-smoker, you have to work on staying a non-smoker. We have a thread here where you can prerespond to your own SOS - http://www.quittrain.com/topic/259-pre-respond-to-your-own-sos/ - basically post here exactly what you would say to yourself to stop you smoking in a moment of weakness. I think it would be really helpful to you also if you read what others have said... you will see that we are all completely different in approach, but with the same goal. Just so I know, do you like tough love or a softer approach? I want to help in anyway that I can :) EDIT - CONGRATULATIONS ON DAY 2!!!!
