Watch out for Alcohol. It is a depressant. (another grim reality to accept :( Sally I have chosen to ignore this lol ;) x

At the moment it's not too bad but soon I will suffer from SAD or winter blues, the lack of sunlight affects my moods and all I want to do is hibernating until spring However this is not possible as I am not a bear :) Over the years I Have tried different things but I found taking extra vitamin D helps and also I have a Swedish light box that simulates natural light which stimulates good feeling hormones I think I will invest in one of those daylight alarm clocks also which wake you up more naturally has anyone tried these? Do you suffer from winter blues? Would be interesting to Know what's tried and tested

Sunny but chilly but on the whole not bad for the middle of November in England :)

Wendy and Karen and jess when I was abstaining the phrase I quit, I Did not give up ANYTHING was what switched it for me. Post and hang about the board, a lot! PM each other and pull each other through, vent, scream, I do believe also seasons have an effect Come on ladies you can get out of this funk xx

Aine I know exactly where you are to be honest 7_10 months were the worse for me, it was all emotional and environment linked, as I had no job, left home, left country had no fleshy friends close by and I felt isolated and alone and well a fish out of water and sorry for myself. really, I was looking back not forward I thought my only familiarity to my old self was a smoke and I romanced this idea seriously for 2 weeks and it was hell on legs, I was so angry and miserable I only know now that of course it was the right choice, I just needed time to adjust to the decisions I had made and fill my time with new adventures and people it all slotted into place and guess what it got better You hang on in there aine, whatever it takes Remember in the beginning we said it would, the same goes for now You have been through a hell of a lot and you held onto your quit when the chips were down, you are amazing and you can get through this period xxx

Ok I just choked on my tea lmao when I saw this!

Lovely family treasures xx

I am 4 days away from making Old Pharte Status and I will be away with work which seems almost apt for my anniversary as I was away with work when I quit. all I can say is what a journey! phew, so much has happened in a year ....... This is not a pat on the back thread, this thread is dedicated to the newbies or others still finding their quit feet I know when I first quit I looked up to the old phartes and thought I want to be where they are, they are so sure of themselves and their quits, that is where I want to be! I listened and watched them but in the same token I felt they were a mile away from what I was feeling as they have traveled so far from the path I was traveling on at the time but I wanted to look ahead. My quit has been up and down and although I am on easy street for now, I do not forget the bumps in the road as that is where most of my education came from, from actually going through it and coming out the otherside I could not have done it without the support from members here who I class as friends, not fleshy but still friends :) we have laughed and cried together for a year, below are some examples of those bumps http://www.quittrain.com/topic/1485-being-on-your-guard/ http://www.quittrain.com/topic/1704-sos/ http://www.quittrain.com/topic/2325-my-stupid-junkie-brain/ http://www.quittrain.com/topic/2529-fed-up-tough-love-needed/ so those new here who think wow Tracey is solid in her quit, yes she is but just like you, there were wobbles so what you are feeling or thinking someone here really did go through the same thing and understands. It is why I always say to people read and post and work it through because it is possible to come through the wobbles. People will keep telling us how it can be done and one day we listen and before we know it we are doing it! And cruising down easy street.

Are you sampling the confiscated goods in your dept?

Kristin, thoughts never did us any harm if they did I would be jail for murder years ago, and this soon into your quit when things get hard and stressful is normal to crave Your actions is what matters, ok you sat in the car and thought about it, but what you did was awesome nothing you did nothing and that's what it takes In time these will get weaker and fewer and you can remember this day that you got through it today your quit is stronger x

Your hairy little ape butt needs spanking for not posting an SOS but hopefully this quit will be stronger and your sticky quit xx

:)

18 I see you
