Many congratulations to you :)

Very powerful story Joe, really enjoyed reading that. Am so pleased for you as you come across very solid in your quit.

Brilliant post...as you say no more excuses, folk will ALWAYS find an excuse to smoke....stop looking, start quitting.

Soozie....forgot to say...laughed my head off at the Peter/Steve scene. Hebmakes me laugh so much does Steve. Another thing, it might help it might not? I know folk find it easy, almost unnoticeable, when they stop the cigs. Not everyone does do they? It can be crap, the size of elephant poo crap to be going through physical withdrawal. Enough to test the patience of a saint quite frankly. So if it is crossing your mind to smoke, as it will here and there, just say to yourself am I really going to do this again? That helped me no end....I used the elephant crap times as my ammunition , knew I had battle to do with myself...and won. As will you....I can feel it in my water. Scream on here everyday if you need to....whatever you need to do just do it...just don't smoke ;)

So glad you didn't smoke....the fact you didn't just speaks for itself....you really do want to quit more than you want to smoke...great foundation Soozie. The tempting, crappy go one have one, start tomorrow thoughts do and will get less and less...seriously I swear on that. Be proud that you didn't follow the instruction, you thought be didn't act. Head down, crack on....eyes on the prize and I hope you never, ever, feel silly or weak after posting help me....don't you dare Mrs ;) So enjoy your music...am thinking Born To Handjive Baby...how low can you go, how low can you go...what a tune! Off to carry on prepping the wardrobe.....catch you later...♡

I'd like to be an egg but sometimes get called a buffoon...of the highest order....can I still be an egg and a buffoon?

You're doing fabulous Marti, just fabulous :)

Oh my goodness I remember this too! Flying to Florida, 9 and a half hours not smoking...longest flight ever! I am so looking forward to not standing outside the airport next year, rush smoking 3, packing them in....I mean why did we do that! It will be a totally different experience for me, like you had Christina, looking forward to not dreading check in and worrying about the hours I would have had to have lasted. I too remember smoking in the cinema, how did folk see the movie through the haze? Makes me shudder when I look back.

Oh I loved him Evelyn, although I think Matt Smith is fabulous, but I loved David as The Doctor. Do you think you will ever watch his episodes?

Welcome Bob....looking forward to reading you and many congratulations on your successful quit.

Fantastic work, many congratulations to you :)

Morning campers....NOPE all the way from a damp Essex.

Hi Christa...lovely to see you :)

Hello and welcome :)

Hello Annael...welcome and so lovely to see you.

Thanks again guys. For me personally that's the most important thing, as Markus said, not having a hang up on how I quit. Like you all confirmed here so what, nuff said...Sharon quit. It's as though now I can start rejoicing my quit, doing mental cart wheels (can't do real ones) and feel an equal to you all...and not the black sheep anymore. You will never know how lovely that feels guys, seriously, I'm so happy right now it's just unbelievable!

Jackie that it just brilliant! Your 'lightbulb' moment, your revalation, will now no doubt give you a sense of peace. The missing piece of the puzzle, so to speak. Made up for you.

Great post, no doubt many newbies will read that and it will inspire them to think I have the power to choose and make the right choice.

Brilliant post Markus I can imagine folk finding that very helpful.

Brilliant idea Evelyn. So proud of you as your are facing your fear but doing it anyway, you should be so proud. I will look forward to reading your blog everyday and cherring you on...oh and it goes without saying...enjoy Dr Who, 7 kean how could you not ;) So very proud...well done you...♥

I will be thinking of you too LB...take care and I would be my life you will keep to your NOPE.

Lol....here I've just realised....I put thisvin the wrong forum didn't I?....should be on social. soz admin and mods....hopefully it will get moved. Soozie....let's have a bit of BCR before I go check if Lucy sorted her stuff out....will leave us with this classic

That's brilliant news Soozie. I tended to find once you get past the occasions, like that, were it genuinely feels fine and that your not fighting anything, or sulking but not smoking even though you want to, you fill up your ammunition piggy bank. So say another time you do something else but maybe did get a twinge, then you can at least check the piggy bank in your mind for coins of the occasions were you didn't smoke and it didn't kill you not to. Great news....pop a coin in the piggy bank of the mind.

Mine was being a slave to checking my purse each day, for the money needed to fund it.
