Woohoo and well done on being able to quit the NRT gum too....it got you to that 4 month mark but now you are ready to do this all on your own. Be proud!

Congratulations @Jeff for being 4 months smoke free. Well done on making it a third of the way to you first year of freedom. Welcome also. Make sure you do something special as a celebration and reward for yourself.

Want to know a secret...if I open my purse right now there will be 2 gums in there...just in case...I know I have them but not once since I stopped the gum have I even been tempted to have them. I think you are ready @Redemption3 to get rid of them for good. ... Look how far you have come...you should be super proud of yourself.

Hey @Steveo1 how's everything going?

Ok...I think this John is not @John and suspect he has had a name change after much searching of the member list. So John who quit 30th April 2010....well done mate!

Ok... I have a big failed quit in my past...and I'm talking more than half a decade... so listen up kidlets...1 smoke was all it took..just 1... And then for well over a decade I smoked like a chimney... Sure at the time, in the back of my head, I thought I'd have a couple here and there and quit again easy peasy, I mean I'd already done the quit think for nearly 7 years...NOPE...just as hard, if not harder this time around, and that's on me, because in the back of my mind all the time is the thought that I'm Gunna blow it again and my quit is just on borrowed time. Don't give yourself that whispering voice of self doubt. Don't get me wrong, this quit is it, not smoking ever again but just remember, however easy your quit feels you need to protect it because one smoke really can switch all those nicotine receptors back on in one moment. Just because you have a failed quit doesn't mean you can't have a successful one. QUIT in Aus tells us that the average is 6 serious quit attempts before you have your forever quit. That is the average, some only need the 1 attempt, some need 20.....whatever your number is you do have one so never give up giving up. In the same vein don't belittle a failure by calling it a slip, just as you own your successes you need to account for your failures. You smoked, you reset your quit... There are only three questions to answer when you fail: 1. When will I quit again? 2. What were the triggers? 3. What did I learn?

Congratulations @John for being smoke free for 9 years. Well done on having 9 years of freedom. Hope whatever your doing today you do something special to celebrate.

Wait a sec, Penn had a play offs that were lacking Bakon in town, he was in Florida who pulled off a Cinderella win..... You thinking what I'm thinking @reciprocity.....next season we kidnap Bakon and stash him in Toronto until after the playoffs and maybe just maybe the cup can come home?

(Belated) Congratulations @Parsley for being 8 months smoke free. Well done P on being 2/3rds of the way through your first year smoke free. That is a nice solid base you have there. You are doing such a great job being smoke free. Make sure you pop in to let us know how you celebrated and rewarded yourself.

She was encouraged to eat something she gets hives and asthma from by my stupid arse mum because she "might have grown out of it"... Worst asthma attack in a long time and if she needs the nebuliser again in the next 12 hours it's hospital time.

Getting ready for a long sleepless night with my sick bubba.

Thanks for your service Cbdave. For my mob who never left Turkey's shores, of Europe. For my mob who came back, for my Grandad and Great grandad...uncles and cousins. And for my mates. Lest We Forget.

Mornin fellow NOPErs... Today is ANZAC Day, and as I stand at the local cenetaph with 3-4000 locals from ancient to new born waiting for dawn and the service for those who have fallen, those who served I off up my thanks. Lest We Forget. NOPE.
