The first thing ya unpack when you move into a new place...

Think of you every time my boys win and sing their song.... You come back soon my beautiful friend.

I stopped asking to borrow my dad's tools because he thought it meant either come over and do the work (which I didn't want and he's getting beyond it) or or come over and give me step by step instructions and critiques..... so I borrow things from my uncles and return them with a siz pack of their favourite beer.

Congratulations @Lilly for being 1 month smoke free! I know you did your own shout out before you went away but I've been waiting a while to woohoo this moment so..... Well done Lilly. After many starts, and stops, you have made it to the one month mark. I hope you do something special to celebrate this while you are away because you certainly deserve to reward yourself for your hard work. Honestly that is the worst of it done, it gets easier now, day by day.

Congratulations @I Got This (T) for being 6 months smoke free! Well done T. Six months is brilliant and guess what, you are half way to that Lido deck. The hardest half of the first year is over. It was great to see you pop in and let us know you are still going strong. You should be so proud of yourself, we all are. So do something spesh today to celebrate and reward yourself.

Keeping you and yours in me thoughts @Doreensfree ... Remember the goods times..

Once a week is excellent....remember when it was 16 times a day?.... I am so happy you popped in to let us know you are still doing so well. Want to know a secret? I still have 2 nicotine gums in my purse, just in case, haven't needed them but I still need the comfort of knowing they are there, just in case. It's been in there for over a year now.

Hey Steveo how you going then mate? It gets better, promise... a little bit each day. Just stick in there.

Congratulations @Jayhawk for being 9 months smoke free. Well done Jayhawk on being 3/4ers of the way through your first year smoke free. what a really great quit you have in place. We would love an update on how your traveling and what you did to celebrate this milestone.

Sorry for your loss @Doreensfree. No vape adds down under. It is illegal to sell them with nicotine down here. In some states you can import nicotine liquid but only enough for a 2 month individual supply.

Congratulations @Icanhike is 2 months smoke free! Well done Icanhike for being 2 months smoke free. You are doing so well, two months is fantastic. So make sure you do something special to celebrate your 2 months of freedom. You deserve the reward.

NRT worked for me purely because my issue was more about the habit and psychological addiction than it was the physical...once I broke the back of the habit, of the psychological compulsion is stoped the gum. The nicotine side of it was much easier for me. Do I feel that NRT prolonged the angsty, early stages of my quit?...yep, if for some stupid reason I had the time over would I use the NRT again?...yep, why??? Because it worked for me... it's doesn't work for everyone, many don't need it.. but I did. SOS helps just as many as it doesn't. If you don't bother to post an SOS you'll never know if it works for you.

Ready, willing and able.

Hows this for the Ashkickers???

Looks like he's snuggling up with Boo and Sugar Britches. Although I had been meaning to ask just what Reci and Jillar had been up too....

What the hell is Thundersnow????????
