Still no Doreen... This is amazing that you haven't guessed, lol

Yes, agreed Joe! Such a great looking cast here - there should be a calendar, lol :p

Looking GOOD Marti :)

Way to go Joe! Here, have a *gentle* pat on the back from me :)

Do you want me to send you both a PM?! ;)

Nope :p

Hey sweetie, I saw you said you were struggling so... I wanted to remind you of this, and just how happy you and your daughters were that weekend, all because you stopped putting things in your mouth and setting the on fire!! Big hugs (((lace)))

Awww, (((lace)))

Congratulations Andrew, 1 year is simply fantastic!!! Very happy for you indeed.

In the beginning, being around smokers was not easy. After a while, it became bearable, until one day it was easier - sometimes (OK, most times) I would watch them light up, or take a drag, or blow smoke through their nose. Sometimes I would observe the whole process from start to finish; not because I really wanted one, but because it was something I had done myself 15+ times a day, for half my life. This weekend just gone, I helped my parents move their belongings into storage because they are moving to Turkey to retire. I spent the whole weekend with them, and my sister in law too. This weekend was the first weekend where I did not notice them smoking. I can't remember them smoking when we were loading or unloading the van, I can't remember them smoking when we stopped for lunch, I can't remember them smoking when we had a BBQ on Saturday evening. I have no doubt that they were smoking - the ashtray in my garden proves that, because it was full to the brim - but I just cannot for the life of me remember even noticing any smoking related activities going on around me... I think I may have turned another corner, and I hope this is the case, because it was bloody lovely not thinking about cigarettes, even when people all around me are smoking!! Any newbies out there who think that they will never be able to stop thinking about smoking, think again - it does happen, and it is awesome ;) Keep the Quit and NOPE :)

Good for you Jackie - 7 months was bloody hard, and I am so glad that I posted about it!! Amazing how one little post can have an effect 3 months later. And this post will help a lot of people too, thank you for sharing! I hope that you are feeling better today!!

Nope from me too Evelyn :)

You got to love your quit Tiff - that way you don't want to do anything to hurt it! I'm sorry for your friend, but I'm glad it reenforced your quit! You are doing so great!!!!!

Maybe that's what happened!! Hope to see you soon, Scott.

That is a MonsterQuit - thanks for showing us how it's done :)

Can you believe that it isn't one of those either... I haven't checked, but there must only be one or two left that you haven't said - come on, she's here most days!! :p

Congrats on 14 months!! It looks like the 12th is a good day to quit ;)

It looks like quittrain is PRO ladybug :) Your blog is really excellent, and you are an inspiration to so many. If you decide to send people here, we will help them in any way possible. Big hugs :)

lol, Doreen, I'm sure that you did fine. As long as you had a nice time, that's all that counts ;) I am glad you will be going again :)

You are a winner. By the way, you look GREAT!

Hey Reene, great to 'see' you! Congratulations on your great quit! Fantastic to have you here :)

(((Lisa)))

lol, I didn't tell Doreen. But, I am sure that she will work it out! There honestly must only be less than half a dozen that you didn't already name!

I was thinking the same thing - NOPE pledges 3 days in a row, and no formal introduction ;) :p
