Doing the NOPE dance with EVelyn x

Hi five EVelyn very proud of you x

Wow you found the truth :), please don't be scared this is another new beginning, look what you have done in 3 months, you are awesome EVelyn and can do anything x

Evelyn, you have to see this for what it really was... Your friend, enjoyed that smoke because she was and is a nicotine addict, if truth be told she enjoyed sitting in the sun with a friend(you) and got a FIX, mentally she was probably feeling bad that you had quit and she was justifying herself and was envious of you. The trouble is you too are an addict and this will always hang on the the smallest of thread to try and pull you back in... You have over 3 months recovery, nicotine is out of your body, it's all mental from here on in, that ONE you speak of will not be great and you will not get that oooooh moment as it won't ease any nicotine craving all that one will give you is the crave for a thousand, a million more... As I said it's all mental from here on in, you do not want to go back to that sucky day one, I know you don't, you worked so hard to get to where you are today These thoughts will pass, sometimes we need a little nudge so watching videos, reading the horrors etc is the nudge you need to move forwards... Remember smoking is all just a big lie and we don't believe all that crap anymore from big tobacco who want to take our money and don't give a hoot that it kills us. Kill the romance EVelyn, you are stronger and better off without it, I read it in your posts WE know you can do this, stop right now the romance, get stomping NOPE, great job in posting and reaching out, that's how do it xx

Yep I was always a door step kid, snotty nose, grazed knees and contemplating my next mischievous village adventure or shelling peas with my Nan.. Coming home to mums, it's spring and I am still a doorstep kid minus the snot lol I am all nostalgic from childhood past, sitting here on the step the sun warming my face..... I wished they never smoked, I wish they were all still here, to see this 44 year old kid sat on the step... You see smoking took them away from me too early..... Now there is snot :( Don't leave your family early, quit ASAP they are worth it x

Nope from England, good morning fellow nopers :)

Take care babs Day 13 done and dusted

Getting knackered more like, 4 hours dog walking, babs abs

Brilliant news holly great to hear from you x

I love green tea, honey and lemon, Paracetomol if you have a fever Or Heated cider, whiskey, honey and lemon (sweats it out and sleep) But man flu is serious so if persists I suggest A&E Only joking about A&E ;)

Aww babs don't feel guilty, you work really hard and we can do this a few cakes won't hurt I'm sure x Gave myself a day off yesterday as did 5 hours run/walk couldn't face sit ups lol Day 11 done today Will do day 13 tomorrow, then rest(day 12) on Saturday whilst travelling Edited to add: babs don't punish yourself, fit the schedule around you, if you feel like poop then give yourself a day off, it's easier for me as I don't do all those classes you do, although the sit ups are hard! Sometimes a mental break is needed as well as physical Hope that makes sense x Edited even more lol to say, just because you started this does not mean you have to finish it, you do enough already x

Never heard of that combination before, they look delish! Babs it would have been criminal not too lol, please share the recipe, gotta try them :)

This really strips my paint grrr, I wish I could have a five minute board meeting with the big wigs and a shovel!

a count down lol https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zRGeLQkWuYk

Lovely babs x Sarah I am absolutely convinced many men would like to sing this to you also https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nX1VeFBo9AQ

aww thanks Nancy, me too but family and red tape dictate only 5 weeks away this time, should go fast hopefully,lots of working, visiting, sorting etc etc I am sure I will be moaning alot from the other side lol x

Hehe has a nice ring to it 727 has 7 months, sounds lucky, go get a lotto ticket :) Congratulations hun 7 months is fantastic, great to share your journey with you Have a great day, hope you spoil yourself today x

It is part of the healing and female hormones don't help :( ride the waves cpk and be kind to yourself, do things if possible in smaller chunks, give yourself time out to just be, hit pillows or cry your heart out let it flow, don't fight it x

It's like when you are waiting for the kettle or pot to boil it seems to take forever! I remember the time going slow I even made a thread about it myself once, but once you find your groove, time really does speed up and before you know it those monthly celebrations come flooding in each day, each week is a massive achievement and celebration all in its own category, in the beginning whilst you are still finding the new you Try not to under estimate how far and what you have achieved to date, you might not feel so great but what you have done is fantastic, inspiring and maybe life changing, in 6 weeks you have done amazing things x

Nope

Lol I will zap you with my zapper! Agreed Rez gets some much needed respite and time with the mistress in my absence :) He comes out with lots of English sayings now, very funny in an American accent :)

I agree everyone here is awesome, watching people help each other in their own way - love it :)

This makes me sad as I hear it of another's making, Sarah honey be done with that, feel your beauty from inside and out, enjoy and believe the compliments xx

Congratulations 9 months is Awesome :)
