Still winning

Absolutely, do what feels right for you Kristin!! There isn't a one size fits all approach otherwise there would be many less smokers...not sure that's grammatically correct but ya know what I mean lol. I'm so so delighted we can share your journey Kristin, it's pretty awe inspiring - you are fabulous :) x

That sounds like a tough place you're in. For what it's worth I'm sorry you have to face all that daily. I really hope you are getting support? Quitting will make you feel physically better, it definitely will :) It might help in other areas too, a lot of us report to higher self esteem and self worth, which are unexpected benefits of quitting that I never knew may come. Welcome. xx

wrongun lol. My spare mum as a kid used to do these and put syrup on it, yuk! This is what happens if your "bestie" at school is scottish! So ya know the potato should be a hash brown because they are lush... Contribution added, no additional eggs here, move along, I am a free chick :)

How are you doing today Nat? Thinking of you. x

Massive congrats Evelyn. Never known a stronger fighter tbh. 3 months free, great job!

2 months is brilliant Jess, see how far you've come smoke free!! :) My additional note, be gentle with yourself and your expectations my lovely lady. The vigilant quit survives and is a journey. These things I have taken from here and want to share with you. Much love. x

Tues - Pilates with arm weights Weds - yoga, then 12 minutes aerobics Today - 50 mins aerobics, 10 mins with weights

Fair stunned himself by going for walks when he never has... Realized his quit is his journey and he doesn't have to walk it with anyone else.... AND GOT 1 WEEK FREE!!! Great work J, keep marching and massive congrats for your first week of freedom!! x

For all that are struggling - use NOPE For all that are exhilerated - good NOPE'ing For me, 1 more day till 3/4 of a year and I'm excited to celebrate For today though, it's gonna be all about JClarke :) NOPE!!! Just for today. x

Blimey, get some rest and some honey and lemon on the go and start the ball rolling on the study front. Just nap in between or rest fora bit when it gets too much. xx

I love when people check in and yell, it's fabulous!! Brilliant work whack, good to read you're free. x

Most excellent work Mr Belle :) 1 week is a massive accomplishment - HUGE congrats!! Hell week done and dusted and I'm delighted for you, with exams and forgetting patches etc too BOOM!!

I dropped hints for transformer masks with built in walkie talkies... Naf all happened.... I chose my own slippers, a jumper, a scarf, a pandora charm and said (not hinted) I need a speaker for the i pod so I can listen to it in the kitchen but I really wanted the transformer masks...so I went to the shop today to buy em for myself and they sold out :( So I brought Milly this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Zippy-Mat-Gigantic-Keyboard-Playmat/dp/B009AVEJ6G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1418239505&sr=8-1&keywords=floor+keyboard and now I know I will, by default, get something I want for christmas haha

Of course, you were a new years quitter.... and you're all kinds of awesome so yes, let's count my friend....

Virtual HI Five!!! Defo pat on the back time my friend, doing amazing :good3:

Always standing with you :) So nope!!

Aww shame, I'm still kinda sorry hun although pleased it ended nicely. Test run some more men hun, still living vicariously through you :) xx

First off, loves to Mrs Bakon, sounds like a tough time going on. Right now Mr Bakon!! OCD I get, you're going to have to prioritize so you can add or whatever yourself into a happy place - or just without the gun tbh. Shooting the tree would not impress Mrs Bakon...the wreath might be fair play, make sure it's off the house first!! You need a routine or at the very least a list. Cause damn, who cares if the fridge has dirty fingerprints?! Helpful hints. Buy anti bacterial cleaning wipes ASAP. Clean things like prints, sinks, surfaces by pulling a wipe out the packet and running it over what you want to clean...very quick! Get window cleaners and stuff like that in...ain't nobody got time for that nonsense! Pleased the tree is sorted now, stay away from the trains and you should be able to carry on!! Serious for a moment. Be kind to yourself. There is only one you and no one but you is in charge of self care. Get your butt on you tube and start googling meditation stuff. Even if it's just a few minutes, you need to find a re set button for yourself. Breathing is good - not generally you understand, that's essential, but deep breathing when things feel overwhelming! Deep breath in and literally blow out the crud, imagine all the stress leaving via the breath. When showering, imagine the water is cleansing the stress out and off of you (washing still good as well!). Your job is stressful and you're over loaded at home. We know it's a "for now" thing but still, take some steps to keep yourself whole - don't wanna lose a fellow drinker in this war!! Big loves! xx

Goodness, sounds terrible. Pleased you are back with us now. I know it was so hard but next time, post or message me if you'd like. That said, a number of us fell off and are now quit so I'm delighted you're back on the train. xx

ritz crackers in place of crisps Greek salad with feta cheese in place of all my favourite cheeses. Roasted veg with oregano herb sprinkled - much nicer then boiled.

Happy half a year chick :D . So so pleased for you and I really hope you have an easy ride from here. Loves. x

Phone company trauma - sympathies.

Chrispy, my poor love - she will still get there and who knows whether it's the money or just this knee, this op. No self torturing my friend, you're a good bloke for looking after the lil lady. ((Chrispy)) ((Alex)). xx

Definitely NOPE!!
