Morning Colleen! So long no see! :give_heart: - 7

Hi! :bye: Welcome back to the wonderful world of quitting smoking. It is great that you didn´t let the addiction hold you hostage for too long after relapse. Back on track! One day at a time. Champix, gum or whatever, the main work is mind work. Education and focusing on the positives. And sharing the negatives so that we can exorcise them. You sound like you´ve got it this time. :good:

WOW! Where has this week gone? It feels like yesterday when I was celebrating the end of Hell week!!!! Yeepee! :yahoo: Things DO get easier day by day, yep. :good3: Bring on Feck week and the end of the initial period of 21 days.... Thank you, guys, for holding my hand through these two weeks. :drinks: Cheers!

-7 Good morning proper!

-7 Good morning!

Hahahahaha! See what you miss when you disappear for a couple of weeks? la-la-la-la-laaaaaa :biggrin:

Good night! -7 Bakon busy huh?

I bet you are over the moon that you are healthy and full of energy and smelling nice now... look at the little fella´s face. Gorgeous!

Jimmy will pick us up from NY (I´m driving from there to Ohio) and Tracey will be waiting with a pitcher of Pimm´s... it´s going to be fab fab fab :ok:

Jackie!!!! of course you are in Scotland! You´ll take the private jet from LHR to JFK with the rest of the Europeans... we have placed an in-flight order for Chablis, Sauvignon blanc and beer... any particular requests my dear?

Shhhhh... it´s Bakon :unknw:

Why don´t you ride Batman? I´d love to meet him!

I can´t find the vent thread... this must be the new vent thread... OK. I´m so pissed at... never finding any shoes on the sale! I made the mistake of going out in high heels this morning (this quitting smoking thing is really affecting my common sense). By midday I was almost in tears and determined to buy myself a pair of flat pumps. I went to every shop in the village and they didn´t have anything in size 38. Size 36.... millions of lovely leather comfy trendy shoes. Size 41... millions of super-duper shoes. Size 38? Nothing. Nihil. Zilch. Nada. Zero. Niente. Tomorrow I will be wearing sensible footwear for work: flip-flops :girl_wink:

My cat is called Molly. The other one is called Bubbles... just sayin´

How do you pronounce this?

Shhhhhhhh! Let´s get out of here gals.... this was a "male" thread :bb: :aggressive: :bb: :dirol:

so from Europe: Marti, Suebedoo, El Bandito, Action, myself... who else? I´m assuming that Tracey will be the hostess and will already be there waiting for us with a tray of cupcakes and a pitcher of Pimm´s.... :yes:

OY!!!! You are highjacking Tiffany´s thread! :acute:

That was me a month ago. I started getting through 2 packs if I started in the morning, went to work and then went out at night. Then the morning after I would feel really sick, smelly, hungover, and fed up with it. So I started getting ready. - Mindful smoking: I didn´t just smoke for the sake of smoking. I would taste it, feel the smoke going down my throat, feel it coming out of my nose (yes, on purpose). Smell it. Smell my hands. Sense how I felt physically and mentally. - I read Allen Carr´s book for the n´th time. Believing it. Letting it convince me. Letting it in. - I read all the Newbie pack here. Some new posts that I had missed (like Babs´ "Excuses"). I read this forum, and any other forum I knew of. - For about one week I would read positive posts, celebrations, social interaction (people who are in the same boat chasing the same dream and having a good time whilst at it). I wanted to WANT to quit. - I remembered how good it felt to be part of that boat. - I set a quit date, because otherwise I would procrastinate and never quit (again, Babs´s "Excuses" hit me on the head) - I finally signed and posted one week before my quit date. However I didn´t allow myself to post in "social" until I was quit. If I wanted fun I would have to earn it. Ha. And a couple of days before my quit date I felt ready, and quit. And the rest if history. It is just how I did it. I was terrified of jumping, terrified of failing, and this "focusing on the positive" seems to have worked for me. Are you putting a plan together? Maybe we can help you from here? Just don´t give up giving up, huh? :give_heart:

Good evening, Paul (it´s past 5pm here now) -5
