Will I smoke today ???....NOPE !!!!

Nope

I don't know how you chicks count.... new math? of whatever it takes to win.

Thank you all!!! I love this site and all the support!! Sorry I haven't been around much lately, been very busy with working extra hours (about 55+ a week) and taking care of little ones. Christmas time is always busy with working (gifts are so dang expensive!), decorating the house and tree, baking, making gingerbread houses, ect.... I can't believe I've made it this far and will keep on keeping on. I'll try to stop by more often when my work schedule is less chaotic. Thank you all again. I don't think I could do this without your support.

Thanks everyone for all of the good and sometimes funny (not really laughing) advices. What sticks is the notion that smoking did nothing to change the behaviour of my neighbour, nor did it see the return of my hose fittings. I'm a woman Jetblack and this man is a scary dude and is the reason why I haven't confronted him before, ie, "fear of escalating the situation". I'm going to bring my hose fitting inside from now on which will let him know my feelings without resorting to confrontation (he doesn't listen) or worse still, smoking. It gave him the upper hand and I can't have that happen. And he's a smoker, another good reason to quit! I'm back on the train but in the caboose.

Plain old NOPE from me too Wee me. But come to think of it stopping smoking is far from plain.

Doreen she looks like Mr Bean !! Haha x

Old Saint Stick is working up something special for you this Christmas.

+1 What a rotten way to start the day.

The most obvious theme here is Do Not smoke no matter what. The best way out is through. Once you quit keep on going, it will get easier. Secondly, your neighbor clearly is not a nice person for lack of better words. You cannot change another adult, but you can change your reaction to nasty people. Ask yourself, what did smoking that cigarette do for you? How did you feel afterwards? Did you feel better? Did it fix your neighbor problem? Little known fact among smokers, is smoking causes anxiety and frustration. Never will it resolve anything. Try and find a healthier outlet for stressful situations. Third, try and catch your neigbor in the act. Security cameras aren't that expensive nowadays.

-3 We are pretty much flawless. And humble.

i myself would have invested in a motion sensor sprinkler system so everytime he comes near your hose he runs off like a wet rat that he is!!! but joking aside please dont give others the emotional power over you, this is your quit, your life and only you can own it, everyone and everything else that threatens it is just trespassing, im glad you are back in the saddle, you deserve this quit and you are better than this scum bag.

NOPE!!

Me -1 doreen -2 me -3

Just a plain old NOPE from me

Glad you are back on track .

Are you threatening me ????

Any old excuse will do for an addict... all the while maintaining the notional "no excuses" ... without really meaning it and offering up excuses anyway. EZPZ

Home stretch, Chicadees...

Sounds like there is a bigger problem here than losing a "quit". About this neighbor... so It does not say if you are a man or woman but in each case - If you are a woman and some male (who is not a boyfriend or husband) is being abusive, there are plenty of men that would be willing to beat his ass. If the guy hits you, he goes to jail. The man always goes to jail in cases like that. If you are a man, it may be time to take some action. At the very least, stand up to the son of a bitch. You or someone needs to put their foot down like immediately or he is just going to keep acting however he does. There is often a concern about things escalating if someone stands up to an a-hole but more often than not, the bully backs down.

No change there Porky.

Hey Tracey. Old timers reunion..Congrats.
