Last year I tried to quit after 45 years of smoking.I had stopped for about 6 months and then hurricane Irma came through.Well after about the 6th day without power I had had it and started again.Actually I just used that as an excuse to start again I was weak.I have decided to give it another go. Last time a forum group really helped me with support so I wanted to join for the back up.I started my quit again 75 hours and twenty minutes ago.Today has been a real test wish me luck

Well @MrTitwank should be a very happy chappy as his babe should be back today. I think a lot of people will be happy to have our Master of Ceremonies back on board, how dare he take a holiday to defrost. Anywhoo, time for me shout out to Roz... we're cheering for ya girl, you get well and back to us real soon because you always find way better nopes than I do... So for today, tomorrow and forever....

Topic of the day: Cars (brands, models, famous divers, parts....all things cars)

Hi Rusty. Tell yourself that you are not "trying to quit" again, but that you are by golly, definitely, not-taking-any-prisoners, absolutely, unequivocally, beyond-any-doubt, categorically, no-ifs-ands-or-buts, unmistakably, decidedly, surely and without fail going to quit and quit for good. (thesaurus) Smoking is simply no longer an option in your life. So success will be yours. You can do this! Welcome aboard.

NOPE

Welcome back @reciprocity. I hope you enjoyed your holidays and are ready to get back to your Master of Ceremony duties because I am glad to hand them back. I'd like to thank you for jacking up my slight OCD tendencies into a full blown affliction. I am sure I checked the list you left at least hourly, every day, by half way through your first day I had it memorized, didn't mean I didn't check, check, check. As per written instruction, the list of new members and their QDs can be located in the in tray on your desk. Speaking of your desk, can I just say I know a messy desk is supposed to be a sign of genius but seriously your desk was, um, unlike anything I had seen before. It was so much nicer once it was all cleaned and tidied. All documents that were once on your desk are now filed alphabetically in the filing cabinet, your welcome. Um speaking of your desk, your letter opener may be slightly bent, I have absolutely no idea how that happened but Port Chop did his best to straighten it and it will definitely still work. OK... lets get back to my required substitute duties in your absence: 1. Remember all the woohoos - Every woohoo on the official Reci woohoo list was covered and some new ones that snuck in or were missed. All woohoos had a cute little giffy thing.. ok some where big, but they were there.... All woohoos were written in reasonably readable and correct English, not the drivel you usually get from me, Pork Chop could even understand my woohoo posts. So for task number 1, my self assessment is : NAILED IT! 2. Ensure the Lido Deck is clean and presentable before and after the celebration on the 18th. ... when I turned in last night it was frickin spotless... I left @Whispers in charge of making sure it remained like that until your return, ergo any complaints can be directed to him. Pork Chop did supervise my cleaning of the Lido Deck to make sure it met your standards, gee he can be a bossy bugger sometimes and the jury is still out on me calling him Sir.... so self assessment (and cos @Doreensfree & @jillar & @Sazerac said so) : NAILED IT! (Hmm don't think that my stellar cleaning services on both your pigsty office, and the Lido Deck are me volunteering for future services in that area, although Pork Chop's reward system was not unappreciated and Dore's was purely inspirational.) 3. Don't break anything, while things might have gotten out of hands at time... um, nothing was broken, uh uh, not at all, everything is exactly how I found it or better... would I lie to you . So self assessment: NAILED (or gaffa'd) IT! 4. Don't Let Things Get Out Of Control.... so there was a little bit of anarchy at times and some celebration may have gone a little too far but pretty sure all things are fine and dandy and if not they will get better soon. So your guessed it: NAILED IT!! 5. Look after @MrTitwank and make sure he doesn't miss you too much ... lets just say that the language barrier doesn't just apply to the written word it seems when you have an accent as Strine as mine it can be a bit hard to always understand everything that's said. There were lots of cuddles and reassurances to help our boy when he missed you too much. I am sure he survived just fine, unlike my arse. SO, yep NAILED IT!! OK so being an overachiever and wanting to get a stellar report on my performance review I took it upon myself to add some points that should be considered for bonus credit..... * Sticking up for Canada when those silly Americans were being mean and saying you were their hat... I told em for ya, I even discovered one of them was posing as an Englishman to pull the hot Canadian chicks. Evidence of this service to my commonwealth cousin can be found on page 6 of the random thoughts thread. Nipped that shit in the bud for ya mate. * Rowing @ClaireP1973 all the fricking way to the lido deck because someone hid the keys to the motorised dingy... sure the row boat was all polished and schmicko but really... it was a long row and the poor girl had to listen to my banter and singing all the way there. She didn't complain but that's beside the point. And I did pack her a little picnic basket with hors d'oeuvres, canapes and bubbly for the trip... oooh that's another bonus point. * Catering services see above * Learning stuff about Ice Hockey... and while I haven't picked me team yet I have got it down to a final 2. * Not releasing the contents of the locked desk draw to everyone else .... so that will be a stellar review I receive wont it? ... oh and don't complain that i used my psychic abilities (or your letter opener) to jimmy open the locked desk draw, .....please, who locks their desk draw then leaves a chick from the land of criminals to be the one to sit at said desk... that's like putting a neon sign on it... "Open me if you can"....tsk tsk tsk don't be calling my bluff. AND speaking of that locked desk draw and its contents, I'm pretty sure promises were made to destroy all negatives and copies...hmmm. So as I hop away and leave you (thank goodness) to all the hard work that is Master of Ceremonies and hang up my substitute hat... can I just say no more holidays for you for at least 6 months.... because your absence has left me a broken woman... Edit: OH and Reci, ya owe our mate Chris ( @Cbdave ) a bevvy or two for callin in some favours with his Navy mates to get your arse off that tanker when they went from rescuers to kidnappers... it really is a shame they only wanted $1000 for you... just didn't appreciate your value did they... an you probably owe @Sslip a whole slab or a bottle of the expensive shit for keeping some degree of control over my lunacy.

NOPE!!!

NOPE!

NOPE. Not today.

Hi pumpkin, im so sorry to read this and i have been in this exact same place. Something happened and brought me to my knees and i blew a long quit. I understand what youre going through. We flat out say f-it and self destruct, its that easy and something to always be aware of. Talking about your current issues is a good thing to get them out, you can get back on the quit train and succeed again. We all grieve differently after a loss, death/friendship/relationship/job etc. There is no specific order of the stages. https://grief.com/the-five-stages-of-grief/

NOPE not today.

Was away the weekend, no internet where I was. Anyway it was and still is NOPE......

Still NOPE.

NOPE!

Nope.

Nope. Smoking is not an option.

Take it from ^that person the sooner the better... So I threw away a really long quit over a decade ago for a way more insignificant reason than yours. @Whispers nailed it, you need to grieve your relationship, and there are 5 stages. If reconciliation is definately off the cards, you need to take steps to move on to the next, amazing and wonderful stage of your life. The fact you are reaching out now is a sure sign your getting ready to quit again. Feeling guilty about tossing your quit isn't helping with all the other stuff at the moment. Think about starting your quit again sooner than later because as soon as you do start again your taking back your life. The new Pumpkin. Hugs sweetie, the hurt gets better, not overnight but it does.

NOPE!

My dear pig is back. Missed my pig. Hehehe, pig. Oink.

Half-way through Day 3... STILL NOPE!

Hope you had a great weekend and guess you can be forgiven when there there is no internet access

Feeling sick.. ?? hoovered a packet of galaxy golden eggs.. That'll be my no rubbish rule re starting tomorrow then...!! Geez.. why is being good SOooòo bloody hard...!!

This is such a lovely surprise! It's 1:05pm Aussie time and I just realised it was my 4 year anniversary today! To be honest I haven't visited QT for quite a while but when I noticed the date I felt a twinge of melancholy for QSMB because I knew my VI (Very Important) day would have been celebrated. So I decided to just quietly drop in to QT to read some posts not even expecting to see THIS post. You guys have made my day special, as it should be. Thank you so much and thank you Johnny for remembering!
