Iulia... How are you doing today?

Totally. Are you are not far off yourself ;) Gemzee, that weekend sounds great! Beacon, you are so close, too. I trust you both to reserve good spots for those of is following closely behind ;)

Jackie, have you got your sh*t together yet? (in the nicest way possible) Please come here, and tell us something, anything - what is going through your mind - what can we do to help?!

Sarge, I need your help...! (or anyone else who knows the answer) I've never grown 'food' in my garden before (at least, not on purpose). So now my wife wants a pumpkin patch... and advice on that? Sun or shade, how much space, when to plant, etc? I realise I am being vauge with my questions, but I really have no idea what I am doing here, lol. Thanks in advance

Huge, massive NOPE

Nothing to cheer you up like goofing around with your friends ;)

Smoking costs you precious time.

Jackie... How are you doing?

Congratulations on the great news - sitting here reading it with a tear in my eye... ;) You don't know me, but your post has really struck a cord deep down inside me! I will do whatever I can to help you keep this quit, for your little unborn baby, and for yourself. Welcome to the train :)

Smoking makes you selfish...

Lots of people here quit with the aid of Chantix - I'm sure they would be willing to help you out with any questions you have. But I have an honest question for you - what side effect could possibly be worse than continuing to smoke?! You are free to quit in any way you see fit; if one method isn't right for you, try another, until you can stay quit. That's the only thing that matters. I'm glad you found us, and j hope that we can help you on your journey to freedom :)

Love you too Doreen, even if you were spreading some rumours about 'floppies'... lol

Iulia, I'm glad you are back! Not everyone stays quit on their first attempt... what we must make sure is that you learn from this, and apply it to your next quit. Will you be quitting today, or tomorrow? Because Today is a great day to quit! I believe in you :)

I like this Susana - if I wasn't getting my fix, I was always thinking about it...

You've got 6 smokes left so you have a choice - smoke the little suckers, or flush them down the toilet. It makes no difference, there is no PERFECT last cigarette, it is a myth... what is important is that you do not buy any more!! And do not smoke any more!! I know it sounds easy, and you probably want to hit me for saying that, but non smokers don't smoke. You can do literally anything else that you want, just not that... You can do it and you obviously want to do it because you've reached out for help. I will lend you some of my strength, now please stay close to the board and reach out to us whenever you feel weak -we will do everything we can to help. We know it's hard, we've all been there!

Because if you ever did, I would come and find you...! But seriously, I think about this sometimes too (obviously). If it is as simple as having a quit buddy outside of / after the boards, I would do this. I would only be a phone call or text away, if you ever needed me. Any other suggestions are welcome!

Oh no, Jackie... you are breaking my heart... I think that what pushed you over the edge is not 'irrelevant', either; you need to look it in the eye and tackle it head on! Please, please tell me that 'laying low to get my shit together for a few days' does not mean that you are still smoking - please can you quit again, straight away? Please, tell me what we can do to help you.

Hi Chrys, Good to see you here. I think its good to be proactive in protecting ones quit, and I will do what I can to help you. Personally, I am still NOPEing and taking it a day at a time while I figure out how to keep this freedom for the remainder of my days. I know for a fact that as long as I remain here, I will remin smoke free (guaranteed), but that I will not be able to stay here for the next 30, 40, 50 (however many) years, lol. I hope you like it here ;)

lace, this is so awesome! I am glad that any help you got here has helped you. I will always be here for you, if you need me ;)

Congratulations Mason, you are doing great! Please let us know how you are doing?! 2 months is a big deal :)

H, it is fitting that your anniverary falls on shark week - maybe you planned it?! I really am so, so happy for you. Pleae, tell us how you are doing?! I would like to see more of you if you have time ;) Massive CONGRATULATIONS!!

Yes, I think you should. We will miss you for those two days, but we should be OK ;)

Don't think we have one of these?! you can post about any spot you like, but I'm going to start with my first love football :) So, Doreen, what did you think? Off to a winning start against a pretty decent looking Southampton side. Henderson looked the absolute business, and I think he's in with a shout to be club captain when Gerrard retires. Disappointed we didn't see Can though, he looked great in pre-season. Oh, and Man Utd off to a loosing start... yay, lol ;)

Wow Sandy, in only 1 months time you will be in the big leagues, 1 year smoke free! I hope that you are well, and that you are enjoying life to the fullest! Hope to hear from you soon, and congratulations!!

Morning guys :) NOPE
