Better Tracey Hugs to me make the world go round, I am a very huggy person :) thank you so much everyone you will never know how much you all helped xxxx

NOPE today and NOPE cos I missed friday xx

wonderful to see you xx

amazing quit and an amazing achievement xx

OMG can't believe I missed this awesome celebration, 3 months plus now is definitely worth a jig just for you, you are doing amazing xx

It is having the belief that these horrid craves do and will pass that get me through. When you are in the stronghold of a crave it is difficult to see past it, but being able to read all your re-affirming posts that they will and they do pass helps me so much more than any of you can know . The last few days have been very very testing indeed, and I hope that I have gained knowledge and strength from them to march onwards and upwards. Been really scary, do not want to go back I want to move forward. Thank you all ........................and Bakon showered and sitting in flip flops, :P xx

Go Ava Go Ava, everyday I'm shuffling 2 years quit you fantastic lovely lady xxx :)

told you my head was pickled my 3 months quit is the 5th May :wub:

May the 4th be with you LOL my 3 months quit is then xxx

I posted yesterday about the fact it was as simple as saying NO. Well after that I think the addiction came along and said okayyyy, lets try that out and see how it feels for ya. I had wave after wave of craves, it actually made my head and body hurt, I cooked, I scrubbed I cried, I stamped my feet, and still the craves came until I felt physically sick, I didn't post an SOS, I have so much stress going on at the minute, medication is being changed, feeling very sorry for myself, but there are so many more out there worse out than me, so I stood up straight, kicked myself in the butt, and roared NOOOOO at the top of my lungs and burst out laughing I must of looked insane, but it worked, I struggled but I coped. xx

FAB keep going, keep believing and keep NOPING xxx

Got to be strong today NOPE

Louder if you need to Michelle shout it out from the top of your lungs :D xx

Hell week is over and the reason why you quit, there are thousands and thousands of them but the one that stands out the most is , YOU, you are the most important reason to quit. Be stronger than the addiction you owe it to youself, all that you are feeling is an emotion, it will pass, work through it be strong and be determined you are doing amazing. xx

Evelyn hold your head up high, you are worth so much more, remember that xx

When we quit smoking and we take back control of our lives we have the power inside ourselves to be able to deal with the craves, the triggers, the addiction, we can make our quit as hard or as easy as we want, the decision is ours. NO one tiny little word, NO holds so much power. Remember growing up, and your parents told you no, you listened didn't you, you soon learnt not to do whatever it was you were doing again. That's all we need to do whenever a crave gets to us, whenever a trigger overwhelms, whenever the addiction gets back insider our head, one tiny little word is all it will take to turn all of it around NO. When you break it down into simple terms and see that word in black and white NO gives me that little bit more power inside. So next time a crave, or trigger comes along just tell yourself NO.l

Your body is recovering my lovely, its getting rid of all the nasty toxins that have built up, its working extra hard, treat yourself, lovely hot baths, relaxing music, you deserve to pamper yourself, remember YOU QUIT SMOKING happy dance xx

Great work Evelyn, determination is the name of the game and you have that by the bucket load, xx

NOPE

Always always last, so glad to read that you made it through, don't have blow pops in the UK either :( , its all about working through the crave, whatever helps you get through, posting an SOS is fantastic, one big mistake I made in my last relapse, I did not post an SOS, so well done, each step is another step smoke free big hugs xx
