Tiff here for you, one second at a time if it takes it, small steps my lovely small steps, post as often as you want always someone here to take you by the hand, looking forward to going forward with you xx

HI and welcome on Board Ricki, commitment is the name of the game and NOPE is the pledge to make every day. Being here and posting is often enough support for us all here, we all are going through the same journey and just knowing there are others around is a big help. Standing up and say I am an addict and re-educating yourself is a must, I too quit drinking as that also went hand in hand for me, don't miss the booze at all, gave in at christmas and relapsed in my quit also so I know no more drinking for me. Looking forward to sharing your journey with you xx

To a wonderful lady thank you for all you do, congrats on a wonderful achievement xx

Absolutely fantastic 1 year is brilliant, how does it look up there, pretty great I would imagine xx

CPK high five loving the kick ass attitude, the lingering shadow of stinky smell leaves and finds another poor sucker to follow, I love smelling sweet, and hate the smell of smoke and can sniff it out at ten paces, makes me shudder, with spring coming its a good idea for a massive spring clean of the house get rid of any lingering scents xx

I think each and every one of us on here can relate to this story in many ways, cutting short a meal, a visit a telephone call, becoming agitated as we needed our fix, how shallow were we? Nicotine cannot or never will be a replacement for human companionship, heartbreaking to think of the slave we were to cigarettes false sense of friendship.

Hi Karl and welcome on board the QT, congratulations on the best decision you will ever make and that is quitting smoking. Stay close to the board and educate yourself on the addict within, its not until we can stand up and truthfully say "I am an Addict" that we can truly begin to tackle our nicodemons. Some wonderful people on board and we will support you on your amazing journey. Looking forward to sharing your journey with you xx

NOPE

Well done my lovely, lets do this journey together 1 month is amazing xx

Hi Tiff been thinking of you, its the fear itself which stop many smokers from quitting, but do you know something really important, the withdrawals will not kill you, may drive you slightly nuts, but they will not kill you, do you know something else Tiff smoking will Kill you, I'm more afraid of that, don't sit on the fence anymore looking in, jump off, we have got you, you know what to expect, its like standing up to the bully, once you have done it you can laugh in its face. stop dilly dallying, don't think about tommorow, think about the here and now, put out the cigarette and throw the rest away and come back on board xx

Colleen we got you my lovely, it was just a passing thought which you kicked into touch, just shows how the addiction can sneak but in sometimes, my wee family here keep it real for me, and remind me daily how important it is to KTQ, big hugs to you xxx

Sorry to hear you have been unwell, but good news your x-ray was clear, I always remember getting a cold and it always ended up in my chest and took weeks and week to clear, always coughing up yucky stuff, aint gonna do that no more!! xx

First treat to myself for a month quit got my nails done :D , and another NOPE today xx

CPK can definitely relate to that, we need to learn to realise that it takes time, we need to adjust to all the changes we are going through, hell its not easy but its so worth it, we want the benefits of quitting to happen yesterday, and can't understand why our brain isnt allowing it! We want to be where all the long term quitters are, and we want it now, but unfortunately we have to go through the quit process to allow our brain and thought processes to relearn and undo all the bad that we have inflicted on ourselves.

How come I miss all the fun!!! xx

Whoo Hooo Colleen 21 months is absolutely fantastic xx

Positive Mental Attitude is everything Laura you got this xx
