False although I'd like to TNP has eaten a dessert in the last week?

And out came a French waiter with a father's beard. I put in a carousel and a turbocharger

Linda, welcome to the Quittrain and it is a great place to start to explore quitting. I'm sure you'll not be surprised to hear from us that quitting is the best possible gift you can give yourself. That's right, for all the fears, anxiety and worry over quitting, that one thing is truly an astonishing gift. You can wake up in the morning and the way you great the morning will not be with a cancer stick. You can live your life free from the anxiety of wondering and planning where you can get your next smoke in. You can sleep at night free from the anxiety of knowing that you continue to poison yourself. There is a price to pay for this, but here we have a group of people, some older, some younger that are living proof that it can be done. I'm not sure where you are based, but can you speak to your doctor about the recommended course of action. I can't comment on how Chantix would react with your other medication, but I would be surprised if something couldn't be worked out. In relation to quitting with depression, I would be surprised if what is problematic in one respect (if you see quitting as denying yourself) isn't more than counterbalanced by some of the weight being taken off your shoulders. As a nice side effect you can afford to start treating yourself to some very nice things you will richly deserve as you go through this. Read as much as you can in the newcomer topics, watch many videos, post, ask as many questions as you like. You can do this if you really want to and we will be here every step of the way if you need support.

^^^ The one about the dog may not be entirely true (she gets fed twice a day, but I do one feed at most because she's not my bloody dog. And the temperatures get too cold over here to feed the fish beyond about October until probably March/April time) True - I mean the cookie is pretty rubbish, but that little slip of paper is gold. TNP has had an after dinner mint recently?

Jo, the below is said with all love and respect, but WTF? You stupid sod. What on earth were you doing letting it get that far? You know that you have an army of people here who have your back, who are willing you to succeed, who you can reach out to at any time day or night. Sorry if I sound annoyed, but I am. I am frightened of what a slip would mean to you. Would you get back on the wagon straight away or would you disappear tail between your legs because you don't want to lose face with your friends here? Would you get back on the wagon at all because before it took you an age to quit again. What you have already got under your belt these last eight months is precious. You know I am proud of you and what you have achieved and faced down through your quit and I am proud that you had the strength to step back from the edge. I am also extremely proud that you have the bravery to post your near miss here, but don't ever push it that far again. I'm not sure if this has been posted here before, I know a number of wake up calls have, but take just 15 minutes of your time. It'll remind you why we don't want to play russian roulette any more.

^^^ I think the only thing that needs to float is your head unless it somehow becomes separated from your body You may want to revisit that habit of sniffing your socks, because the only explanation I can think of is there is a two way exchange going on there Do you get the same problem if you wear thongs?

No - Koi don't get fed every day, nor do lizards, nor do dogs TNP is better at owning pets than me? BTW @jillar your fortune cookies are rubbish, you should get a refund, that's a fact cookie

And out came a Unicorn along with the country it represents I put in a 4 candle and a birthday cake

Revealing opportunities unto genies everywhere BATON

True ... And two that are older (between me and my wife) TNP has owned a European car?

^^^ Give us some fortune cookies back or at least crack one open for me and tell me what my outlook is @jillar True ... not fully, but picked up some bits and pieces in China Town in London TNP has made Asian food from scratch?

(Evelyn always plays percussion) It's every sister P.S - **** I've just realized that using Evelyn Glennie as an example of why percussion is better may not be a compelling argument)

^^^ You're right they deserve your loyalty for that False ... we don't really get Thai take outs (I know, really backward here aren't we) TNP has had a fortune cookie in the last year? (I want to know what has happened to all the bloody fortune cookies, I haven't seen one in ages)

Evelyn never trumpets

False .. the groceries come to us TNP gets their food shopping from the same place every week

You're doing superbly well Farmgirl, 7 months is a great quit!

It's great to see a nice, positive update like this and way to go on your quit! I bet those holidays have been great.

Jackie, good to see you here. Glad to see you jump back on the train and it matters not whether you're in your 40s or as most good people are in your 50s, it's always a good time to call it quits on the smoking front. Settle back in and hope to catch you around.
