@Stewbum CONGRATULATIONS and Welcome to the Lido Deck!! What a wild climb but worth it. I’m so proud of you for coming back on board and getting it done!!! Great job! L4L

Well, progress has been made. I got past the Sunday. I've had my son since friday evening. My final cigarette was on the Friday just gone. It was a lot easier getting through the Sunday knowing he was going to be staying with me. I've hardly thought or had any urges whilst he's been here. I've got him until the coming Sunday evening 4th August. With kicking through this Sunday then a barrier has been broken down. The Sundays were always the hardest.

NOPE

HMMMMM... A -gulp, I will pay for your flight and I will do all the splittin.....

The fish weren't bite'n but I threw a stick and look what I caught.. That's called a Cooper fish, very shrewd and conniving. He will shake water all over you then expect for you to throw another stick then repeat all day long... ..

-10 … yes QG… Nancy played that wonderful clip … I love it

Lovely garden piggy … I don’t wish to brag , we did manage to eat outdoors yesterday … It was a nice refreshing change …

Dear All, Thanks all for your kind wishes. Take care. Rajag

You may be heartened to know that 12C with cloud cover is what the Brits are now calling summer, with the exception that they also have rain, rain & more rain I'm sure @Doreensfree will chime in on that? Here today another day of pure sunshine, 29C and reasonable humidity with no wind. Supposed to be another one tomorrow! (love it ). The additional bonus is that the roadside fruit/vegetable stands are now in full opperation. Bought some fresh picked corn, peaches, new potatoes & yellow plums and yellow beans today over in Niagara On The Lake. Talk about farm-to-table, this is exactly what it is for the next 6 weeks or so. Picked early morning, bought around noon and on the table by dinner time. You don't get much fresher than that! The vineyards are looking very full of new growth and a deep green as well. This year's grape crops are growing there on the vines as I write this. They'll be harvested in autumn months of Sept./Oct.

Gday Middle of winter here. Last night got a couple mm of rain so the low was 12C with the cloud cover. This arvo that cloud should blow away and give us a sunny 23C. That subtropic Brisbane for you. woops forgot water temp 21C

Great Party …Time to try and get home

-9, good morning!

I saw that on my weather app. Warmth has finally returned to Great Britan Hopefull it stays around

-8 Good morning! And I see that we won!!

Dear All, Time to time I visit this website. Now I am extremely happy to inform you all that I crossed 9 years, 28 days of smoke free. Somehow I managed it. So I hope every smoker can become a non smoker. Thanks you all for the wishes. Cheers, Raja

Repost by Craig I get sad whenever I read about someone that relapses after rocking an awesome quit for weeks or months. I quit smoking 290 days ago and I'm extremely confident I'll never smoke again. Things were a little different on day 142 though. That's the day I almost smoked a cigarette..... Quote Day 142. I have been romanticizing the cigarette for about a week now. I've been daydreaming about the simple joy of holding a cigarette between my fingers, the wonderful tobacco smell of a freshly opened pack, and the feeling of euphoria when taking that first drag. Mmmm....just thinking about it makes my pulse quicken in glorious anticipation. W. T. F. This is day 142! I'm "this close" to 5 months. 6 months (HALF A YEAR!) is within spitting distance. How the hell could I let myself get so damn complacent that I'm having thoughts like this? For the most part, my quit has been on auto-pilot for the last couple of months. I stopped actively "quitting" a long time ago. I didn't feel the need, or desire, to spend hours a day reading/posting about nicotine addiction like I did the first several weeks of my quit. I've lost my motivation and I'm tired of fighting. THAT right there scares the crap out of me. I do NOT want to be a smoker again. I will NOT be a smoker again. I REFUSE to be a smoker again. It is time to fix this thing and get my head back in this quit. During the early days of a new quit everything is so exciting. You are doing a Good Thing and it's AWESOME! YOU are AWESOME! Loved ones shower you with praise! Strangers on the internet tell you how wonderful you are! You can suddenly smell and taste All The Things! People at work give you high fives and fist bumps! There are parades in your honor! The mayor gives you the key to the city! TMZ hounds you for an interview! Life is FREAKING AMAZING!!! And then, a few weeks or months later…..things change. Family and friends begin treating you the way they did before you quit. No more high fives. No more fist bumps. No one asks about your quit anymore. Even the paparazzi stop following you around. This “thing” (your quit) isn't fun anymore. Yeah, it’s gotten a lot easier to not smoke but you still sometimes get cravings from hell and you are SO TIRED of fighting. So tired. You feel lonely. You start to hear whispers in your head. It's a voice you thought you silenced a while ago. “Why don’t you just smoke one? It will taste and feel so good. You know you can quit anytime you want.” (My Inner Junkie has a seductive bedroom voice like Barry White and looks like a more sinister version of Wile E. Coyote. Stop judging me!) Relapse was a very real option for me on day 142 (I'm on day 290 now). I am VERY thankful that I turned things around before it was too late. Some folks don’t. They smoke a cigarette and then a beautiful quit is lost…up in smoke. I am only posting this to remind everyone, myself included, that we can never let our guards down. I KNOW why I got close to relapse. The reasons are as plain as day to me now: 1. I stopped educating myself about my addiction. 2. I greatly decreased the time I spent on this site because I didn't think I needed a support group any longer. 3. I let a small seed of negative thought (daydreaming of smoking a cigarette) grow until it became a Really Bad Thing. 4. I fooled myself into thinking I wasn't an addict any more. What did I do to get my quit back on track? 1. I re-read all the newbie info here and at whyquit.com 2. I read Allen Carr’s book. (I read a little bit each day over the course of a couple of months. It was a good daily dose of inspiration.) 3. I recommitted to spending time on this site reading and helping out where I could. 4. I admitted to myself that I was always going to be an addict. I can NEVER become complacent again. 5. I stopped random smoking thoughts IMMEDIATELY whenever I realized what I was thinking about. Have you come close to relapsing? What did you do to avoid it? Have you relapsed after a weeks or months long quit? If so, why did it happen and what are you doing now to make sure it doesn't happen again?
