first I want to slap ya... then I want to hug ya.. Don't you dare give up on quitting Trish....that's' not an option...NOPE!! But for the love of all good honey......stop torturing yourself...for the last time! The only reason you smoked is because you still have a belief somewhere inside of you that the cigarette can do something FOR you....it doesn't. You still have some UN-brainwashing to do...so read and read and read all the literature provided here and MQ's quit blog and Joel's library....over and over and over again.....over and over again...over again...over again...i read them and listen to Joel so many times I wanted to punch him in the face....but I listened...I read..I watched.... over and over.....slogans....No such thing as one cigarette, 1 is too many...1000 not enough...Smoking is not an option...NOPE....they work...but they must be a part of your every day self talk.... you can do this Trish! Put out that last cigarette now...and do it! xoxoxoxo

The weather here in NJ has been unusually chilly for this time of year.....but it's 52 degrees and sunny this morning....I'll take it!!

look at all you fabulous non smokers!! Noping it all day long!!! :)

thanks Lisa! You mentioning the pancreatitis reminded me the last time he was sick...that's what it was. I gave him chicken and rice.....and he's so much better. I then lectured the man of the house about feeding the boxers leftovers and stuff... No more......hopefully he gets it.

Great job Jules!! 3 months is a great milestone! Last of the icky 3's

everyone has a quit journey.....some stay quit...some relapse and then quit....some relapse over and over...and then quit. and some...just never get it. :( nothing you can do. That's their journey

great job Aine! Isn't it wonderful?

i had a trigger tonight...after my dogs were viciously attacked. After the adrenaline calmed down...I was looking for my "reward" this disease never goes away....but it's one craving in...I would say...in 3 months...and that one was very mild. I'll take the occasional crave any day over every 20 minutes last smoking dream was in my first 6 months

701 days now!! I missed this. Congrats Jenny!!!

sorry I wasn't here! Marti this will pass...they always do Good for you....for posting!! xo

Really they attacked the puppy who had the cone on his head, thank god and tucker was defending him. It was a scary mess. Tom usually goes earlier when there's nobody there but waited for me. I'm bad luck

Tucker has improved 100% (thank you Lisa) It's a nice day so I went with my husband to to woods he takes them every day without incident. He likes to walk them there because they can roam without a leash. They are well behaved and friendly. As we were about done with the walk....down the path barreling towards us are 2 fast and furious pit bulls. They chased and attacked both of my dogs....the puppy was crying...I was crying....my husband was going crazy...the owner was beside himself but my husband is not as forgiving as me. To say the least. Im walking home as I write this and my heart is still pounding. Dogs were not hurt from what I can see. What the ****????

Stuart....you are hysterical. :)

Woo hoo 4 days!!!!! I would like to call shotgun and ask that I be able to lead off Ava's 1 year anny post!! Haha. I have to call dibs because you guys are always a day or 2 ahead...especially the islanders. :)

I am taking the pledge before bed because......tomorrow...it's Not One Puff Ever for me!!!! Who's on board???

1 week down!!! you've got this!! woo hoo!!

well...my husband still smokes.... :( that is all

now that you mention it.....they did say something about pancreatitis before...but we switched to blue wilderness dog food--i have caught my husband giving him table food though.

LMAO

I am only writing to vent.....well...because this is my group and you're stuck with me Dog 2 was sick 3 months ago...IV fluids and IV antibiotics ....$1,000....he recovered (age 5) Dog 1 a week later...develops the same symptoms..lethargic but also peeing blood, vomiting blood, and excreting blood...many multiple days of IV fluids and antibiotics....and a rug and bed destroyed from the mess....the dog didn't recover....had to put him down. Total cost - $3500. (age 6) Dog 3 new puppy...immediately notice a strange thing growing on his head..surgery indicated as it great at a fast rate. Cancer... 4 months old. Incision on his head is HUGE and keeps filling up with fluid and we have to keep going back to get it drained. another 800 bucks so far. did i also mention he has ear mites?? more treatment...and because he is so young...getting cancer now may indicate it may be genetic and it could pop up somewhere else Dog 1 has been acting "strange" for the past few days and today...diarrhea all over the carpet...vomited on my bed...and he's once again lethargic...just laying there. I don't know how much more I can take. It's heartbreaking and I am sorry to bring money up...but I"m not rich. My house smells like poop...and I had just shampooed my entire house last weekend. Sorry to whine......and thanks for being here

i am done with my stuff and going to finally get my reading in......i will have more to discuss tomorrow...lol
