Hey Tracey I always remember when someone said your quit > life...at first I did not understand. Now I understand perfectly. I cannot let anything in life affect my quit. And I cannot use anything that happens to me as an excuse. I am the boss of my quit :)

By the way, what the heck is a nook?! In my house it has nothing to do with reading rofl ;)

I'm old school Babs. I have hundreds (literally) of books. I love them. I live the smell, the weight, the page turning, the artwork... I have a kindle fire too, but I hardly ever use it for reading - but it is handy to read in the dark ;)

Hey Juan, you get as emotional as you need buddy. What's getting emotional for a while compared to never smoking again? Sounds like a pretty good deal to me ;)

And we are all completely normal, right Tracey? Lol Come on guests, we would love to meet you all. What have you got to loose?!

Marti, it's almost like the roles are reversed. Your mum is like the kid smoking behind her parents backs... How would your mum have dealt with that? That probably doesn't help at all, sorry :/

Knew it. I'll be down there with Sue in a bit ;)

I think I might have to check out that basement - I have a feeling he has pimped it out and isn't telling anyone ;) And to answer the question - I thought you couldn't be an egg if you have a dangler?! (According to Bakon) Thank you George!

I assume we are adding what we can up with in chat to the list for people to vote? Muggle (0-6 months) Apprentice (6-12 months) Wizard (1 year plus) :)

What an excellent idea :)

Sadly pictures would not do them justice ;)

Not to sound too big headed, but pretty impressive ;)

Ok mine is obviously on my sleeve ;)

Here you go Sharon - now you have 2 celebrations ;) So happy for you my friend :)

I am glad that you are anticipating the potential pitfalls that may happen when you stop the patch. My main problem with smoking was boredom - I could chain smoke because I was bored. So I had to occupy my mind with something else. Coming here to talk to people about my addiction. That is what helped me the most. Sorry I cannot help with the OCD angle, but I am here for you regardless. (((Evelyn)))

Oh my goodness what have I walked in to lol...

In :) Farnborough GU14

I have been trying to restrain myself recently ;)

Tommy, my quit date buddy, you haven't smoked for 6 whole months. You have helped me through just by brain there and being strong. And you are a cat :) Congratulations my friend!!!

Evelyn that was a really nice post. It is people like you that keeps all the old timers coming back. You are just so adorable it's impossible to not want to help you :) I know you will be able to do this (you are doing it already). And when you stop the patches - we will be here for you. I'm glad that you know that :)

Good for you Juan. Nope from me too :)

I agree, how the heck is this the first one?! Sharon since I got to know you better I can tell you are just a great person! I love that you are posting so much more now :) Really happy that you are 10 months and I hope you enjoy your baileys!! (((Hugs)))

Oh wow Fay, 11 months is amazing!! You we so close to the magical year :)

You guys are just the best. Thank you all for your kind words! I want to tell you all that I could not have come this far without the support of each and every one of you. You have all helped to keep me quit when it got tough :) I love you all very much :) X

Yes George, extremely cold turkey here ;)
