Getting our dinner ready for Christmas. Rib roast on the grill! Fortunately it is unseasonably warm this year. Many years my husband has stood in the cold to make this!

Wondering why when the kid knows I spent an hour doing this and didn't just hand her bags with the stuff in it...for those who weren't around last year in our family Santa doesn't wrap gifts he pulls them from his sack and artistically displays them in your designated seat...yep we have designated seats...

NOPE - Smoking sucks. Life is much better as a nonsmoker. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

Oh what a pain it used to be! I dreaded Mother in law coming up for christmas as it really spoilt my smoking grr, she would hang around us, and I was on edge standing outside in case she came looking for me. She would be here all day, so had to get hubby to keep her talking so I could sneak off. Missing time with my Sons because I needed to go outside every hour!! I have a grand daughter this year and I am going to spend every second with her. Merry Christmas.

NOPE...

Hello, Unless you were on QSMB years ago, you probably do not remember or know about Jonny 5. However, this very inspirational poster is celebrating his 8 years anniversary today !!! Happy 8 Years, Jonny 5 !!! Below is a re-post of one of Jonny 5´s famous posts from QSMB - Enjoy !!! YOU AND I ARE NICOTINE ADDICTS, THESE ARE THE RULES Posted 26 January 2014 - 02:48 PM If you smoked, and continued to smoke, even knowing it was very dangerous, then like me, you are a nicotine addict. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE ADDICTED TO NICOTINE, CHANGES HAVE TAKEN PLACE THAT CAN'T BE REVERSED because you are a nicotine addict, you can never casually use nicotine without reawakening the addiction THE GOOD NEWS IS YOU DO NOT HAVE TO CONTINUE TO USE NICOTINE BECAUSE YOU ARE AN ADDICT You can put the addiction to sleep, and live as if you have never smoked, never troubled, or distracted by cravings. TO ESCAPE YOU MUST NEVER INGEST NICOTINE EVER AGAIN, OR YOU WILL GO THROUGH WITHDRAWAL AGAIN sure, the habit part of the addiction may have been disrupted or broken through your quit time, but following relapse the physical withdrawals could lead you back to full time smoking again. I UNDERSTAND THAT MY BRAIN CHEMISTRY HAS BEEN ALTERED. I UNDERSTAND THE CONSEQUENCES OF INTRODUCING NICOTINE INTO MY BODY, I UNDERSTAND THAT I CAN NEVER TAKE NICOTINE WITHOUT MY ALTERED BRAIN RESTARTING THE ADDICT CRAVINGS ALL OVER AGAIN DO YOU?

I remember how on Christmas I would have to sneak out periodically throughout the day/evening to have a quick smoke. I was the only smoker in the family, so I would walk a few houses down so nobody would see me. Even though they all knew I smoked, I was still ashamed. When I was done, I would walk in the front door, hope that no one would see me and then quickly scurry upstairs so I could wash up and use mouthwash. Of course, now that I'm a non-smoker, I know that the hand washing and mouthwash/gum/whatever never got rid of the stink that came along with smoking and when I eventually rejoined the family, I'm sure they could all smell it. I can't tell you how happy I am that that is no longer a part of my holiday ritual. If you're stressing out about dealing with your quit over the holidays, don't! Relish in the fact that you don't have to go through all your old rituals. Appreciate that you are NO LONGER A SLAVE. Enjoy your time with your family and friends and know that you'll soon be starting a new year smoke free. Quitting is the best present you can give yourself and everyone around you. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone!

Why do you have 130 bags of organic granola? That wasn't your Christmas present?

NOPE... IT,S MY SECOND SMOKE FREE CHRISTMAS HURRAYYYYYYYYYYYY Have a great day everyone, and hope Santa visits you x

Santa left his WET foot prints all over my lounge floor

Hey, @Jonny5, Congratulations on your Eight Years of Freedom. Your posts were quite influential for me while I lurked through the first 10 months of my quit, thank you very, very much. Every now and then I rummage around back in the archives and bump your posts. They are still so important.

Congratulations Jonny 5 and thank you for passing your wisdom on to us. I know you are enjoying your smoke free life!
