It is a hot and sticky Saturday here... Perfect for NOPE´ing :sun_bespectacled:

the friends from Madrid. The chimney friends ... My friend turns 61 so we are throwing a surprise´ish party at my house. My ex is here helping me, puffing away at leisure. Two more arrive at 6.30pm, and the rest tomorrow... Tomorrow night I´m entertaining around 14 people, some of which I´ve never met (I bet they smoke too). We have a bbq (more smoke). It is going to be fun. It is going to be fun. It is going to be fun. It´s going to be fun. Please repeat with me... it´s going to be fun. I´m telling because I´m fretting, and in my experience, the more I fret, the more I preempt, and the more I tell and make a fuss about it... the easier it actually is when it happens. So there you go. Please repeat with me. It is going to be fun. :spruce_up:

How awesome reading your post next to your super-duper picture of "new Jimmy" !!! :) Or should we start calling you "supper-Jimmy" :bb: :good: You rock! :give_heart:

We have Shark-shark, we have Bat-shark, and now we also have...

Good Morning! Beatiful non-smoking Friday for all of us. N.O.P.E. :beach:

I´ve given up on the counting game... Most of the time I´m on my phone and I can´t see the last screen... what I think is the last screen is in fact an OLD screen... So I make a fool of myself and I look like I can´t count... Well I can´t count anyway.... but not that bad :-(

Super-duper well done mate boss!!!!!!

Your post brought tears to my eyes. I´ve been away for too long and haven´t kept up with everybody´s circumstances. Now I see yours were really important, and you fought and won. I´m mega-proud of you, and I´m sure you are too. Love :give_heart:

That´s another day done and dusted. And you have kept your quit, bravo!. :yahoo: Hopefully tomorrow will be better... sure! It WILL be better! :yes: :give_heart:

I feel like a peeping tom... :wacko: But I can´t help it... it is soooooo romantic :wub: And it is their fault for sharing... :laugh2:

Thank you Mr. Bakon for reminding mum that we have no cat food left Bubbles & Molly ;)

Evelyn, you are doing great. Posting an SOS and asking for help is just a sign that you DO NOT WANT TO SMOKE. You are stronger than you think. Do treat yourself for doing so well... you deserve it. And I won´t give you a kick, but a hug (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Evelyn)))))))))))))))))))))))))) :friends: p.s. do not watch Bambi.... :cray:

You´ve got it!!!!

Happy non-smoking birthday, Vic!!!! First of many to come!

Prayers and hugs to you and Quita. Please don´t forget that more than 80% of breast biopsies are negative. They have to be done and lumps have to be checked but most chances are the result will be negative. I know... that doesn´t help much when you have two weeks of hell waiting for the results. My thoughts are with you.

Ha Ha I LOVE YOUR TICKER!!!!! :yahoo: I´ll pledge with you. The only way to get a ticker like yours is to N.O.P.E. every day. Smoking is Not an Option Today. :give_heart:

Arsenal, yeah? :P No? :o :blink:

Weird day for me. - Morning pledge... oh, somebody has sent me this mega-funny dog video in Facebook... I´ll post it for Bakon... hmmm... maybe not. Maybe it is not the right time, as his wife is having surgery... - Lunch board check-up... oh, let´s play some games in social... .hmmm... maybe not. Not today. Bakon´s wife is having surgery.... fingers crossed everything goes ok... - Afternoon cravings... oh, let´s go and vent how awful I feel... how I "want/fancy/think of a cigarette right now... at this very moment... " Yeah, sure... Bakon´s wife is undergoing surgery, and all I can think of is I am soooo miserable.... because.... I bloody fancy... a cigarette??????? Am I for real? Oh, please, let´s get real here... apart from people having really serious phychological issues... the rest of us CAN and SHOULD do it without that much ado... We are ONLY quitting smoking. In the comfort of our own homes. Let´s get real, peeps. :-(

Thank you for letting us know. You are a wonderful partner. (((((((((((((((((((((((Bakon and Mrs. Bakon))))))))))))))))))))))))))

"flippertips" ... genius! ;-) I knew you would do it. When is the house warming party???? :-)

Not doing anything special today... Other than not smoking. Which is special, isn´t it? N.O.P.E. :dance2:

Thinking of you.

Hi Dancer! Some days are hard. I´ve been through a few hard days recently too. I think we all have... been through hell and back at the beginning. We can only hold on. I don´t want to smoke. The mere thought makes me gag. The smell, the thought, makes me gag. But I still get this feeling that "I want to smoke". Weird. Well, I know what would happen if I smoked.... I would gag. And I´d feel like I have failed myself. Stay focus and do not let your junkie win over your thinking brain. Strength, my friend. Please hold on ((((((((((((((((((((((((Dancer)))))))))))))))))))))))
