good to see you back with the QT family, supper congrats on your one week free keep climb'n!!!!

Oooh sooo happy for you sweetie, this is wonderful news!! :wub: (and on a purely selfish note, knowing it has happened to you - it's good news for me too knowing it's coming my way :rolleyes: )

Hi !!.. I'm sorry I'm late to your welcome party.. :welcome: I look fwd to get'n to know you. and seeing your quit grow..welcome to the QT "Family"!! :D

{{Sarah}}.. you are such an incredibly strong woman,.. I hope you know this.. REALLY know it.. you said you didn't know why you were putting this here...I believe things happen for a reason,.. and it could very well be that somewhere out "there" a woman will read this and because of your strength, she will leave an abusive relationship too... your example could be just what someone needs to say, "if Sarah leave AND stop smoking.. so can I "..... The others are right hun, we are are here for you.. you wonderful, beautiful, strong, powerful Lady {{{{{{HUG}}}}}}

Yay, yay, yay! 3 months down and dusted!!! Big congrats to you!!!! :D

3 months down, you're doing so well, Congratulations!! :D

Congratulations!! :D yer do'n great!! :good3:

Congratulations!!!

hi hun, sorry i'm late.. but you've had all great advice above,... and you know it is true there will be hard days-times-situations and so on....killing our self smoking won't change that...that "one" cig won't make anything better... so I tell myself (now) I just have to NOT have that "one"....it's just one cig that I have to say no to....as long as I say no to that "one" I don't have to worry about the rest. I hope yer feel'n better today {hug}

Ah-ha, I knew it, y'all are southern!!! :D could it be you're all related to me? my granny married her brother in law after her sister died- adopted her 2 kids, the oldest (Babe) was 15 - granny was 14 and was mom/aunt to the kids,.. and then her 7 kids and her sisters 2 were 1/2 brother sister-cousin's.. :blink: if you're not gonna be doin' much next year you an mrs El B can come here for the big golf "thingy" (don't get mad at me for call'n it that :P )...I'll have 2 rooms free by then ...... soooooo if the mrs. get's mad at cha you wont have to sleep on the sofa ! :laugh2:

I'm late but here..since cookies were covered, I'll bring pizza.. can't ever have too many cookies or pizza's :rolleyes:

I've just gone thru NML.. (well at least i think I'm coming out on the other side).. for me it was that at the start of my quit, I was so excited and proud of myself, every day was such a big deal for me.. I had set a date about 3 months out to let my family know I had been quit, so I had that to hang on to an look fwd to.. that day came an went (great day by the way :) ) and then it just kind of got... don't know.. like those who where so happy for me when they found out i quit were just kind of "you quit-good-on with life"..they didn't seem to understand it was still a daily thing for me "NOPE just for today" and it felt like all the "new" had gone out of my quit...and my enthusiasm to keep on-staying quit was die'n out... the truth is I didn't know I was in so much trouble until someone else posted something that hit a cord with me- how i was feeling- I commented on that and before I knew it my QT family was "riding in to the rescue"... if not for the "family" here, I'm pretty sure I would have gone back to smoking,... ....but see? thats why it's sooooooo important to post how you feel... you may never know who you help.... or how what say will alert others here that you're in trouble - and "can't see the forest for the trees" like what happened with me.. and they "swoop in" to help... so, my advice.. be aware it can happen.. an if "the family" picks up on something you said in a post and say you might need an extra helping hand -TAKE IT- open up-talk-post- don't be like me and try to go it alone.. I forgot I was here for the love and support the lovely folks here have to offer.. I didn't want to admit I was have'n a hard time and it almost cost me my quit at just before 6 mo. ...

well look at you-2 weeks already, :D congratulations!!!!! keep climb'n! :dance4:

AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahaha!!..you just made my day - thanks DD!! :D

Glad I saw this before you started on me :P The name Lace my ex gave me back in high school, i was supper skinny an he said i reminded him of a piece of lace- not much there, but strong for what it is, it stuck (along with all the fat'n food over the years) and even thu i don't look like a beanpole any more, i still answer to it- so when my real name Sherry was taken at the other place, I went by Lace there, and now here.. as for the frog an the bird, I adopted that when i gave up drinking... so much of the time i felt like my addiction an life in general was try'n to swallow me up... and I need (have to) to fight back... so I see myself as the frog - even when it might seem that "it's all over", I've found if i grab hold and hang on for dear life, things do and WILL get better... it might take a while... and it might get worse before it gets better... but "Never Give Up"... Plus, it's just so darn cute!!!! :wink:

2 years?? WOW!!!! supper congratulations Frez!!!

aw,you two look sooo happy, you make me smile... and you're right, the two of you wouldn't have all this fun you've been have'n if you hadn't quit smoking.... so- see lurkers,.. all kinds of wonderful and unexpected things happen when you quit, what will your story be---??? :D

sorry i missed your day, my friend, but that doesn't change that i am so happy to "know" you, so happy you are here, so grateful for all the love and support you give to everyone on the QT, ...i hope you had a great day, massive congrats!! here's yer cookies !! :P {hug}
