That's my girl!

oh and TEW...try not to anticipate that 9-12 will be hard......say it will be hard..and it sure will be. Easy Peasy...you will make it to the lido deck girl....and you'll do it with a smile :)

Not One Puff Ever TGIF!

man I remember 9 months being a tough one....AT TIMES...not all the time, but it sure did feel like it. It does get better.....it really does....I even had a bit of irritation at the 11th month but I just told myself...one day at a time. This too shall pass...this too shall pass....and it did :) you are restless....that may be true. Explore that...and you will probably find it has nothing to do with smoking....find out what it is. Funny how are lizard brains automatically go there...blaming the quit. All lies. :)

Miss chatting with you too. With all of you. We should arrange a chat fest

Well said bumbleB Perfect. :)

ok...had to fix that. I already knew from our last conversation that you already made up your mind...you were going to smoke no matter what I said. Your status gave it away and you didn't post an SOS. You chose to smoke Jess...you didn't lose anything. I have to be clear on that because saying you "lost" it indicates forces outside of yourself made the decision for you. That is dangerous and deadly thinking. Get your butt right back on the quit train Jess...immediately please!!!! I know you want to see your grandbabies grow up...I know you want to be a good, healthy influence on them. I know you don't want cat butt mouth, or stinky breath, or chronic bronchitis, or brown teeth, or smelly clothes, or self loathing........I don't really have time to list all the things I know you don't want. Please Jess.. don't wait...the longer you smoke..the more you feed that SOB. Edited to add: I just saw the "here I go"...so...I hope that means what I think it means :) you can do it girl...you've already proven that....AND you already know what that 1 cigarette feels like and what the results of it are...pretty crappy... We got your back sista! Damn I hate that addiction....

Congrats to you love.......so very proud of you!

why do you feel like a moron, silly?

I think that's what people who "attempt" to quit misunderstand....it's not just Quit it...and that's it. Even 3 years later it comes...but the strength of it is weak...and it's like a fly buzzing around and I just swat it away. However if you keep giving in to the damn monster....it remains strong with each "quit" which is what frustrates chronic relapsers. Stick to NOPE...HAVE FAITH AND TRUST in the people who have some time under out belts....blind faith. That is what I did. I told them people who guided me....."if you are wrong I will find you all...and give you a good whooping" haha;...but instead...I thanked them...and if I could have...would have hugged them. Keep going strong Michelle...one day at a time! It's the only way to weaken the monster..and strengthen your quit. Every day...every crave you conquer makes you stronger. Like going to the gym for your quit. :) hang in there

that little ****** is trying to get in your head....don't let it...all lies!!

you are the man Jodie!! Proud of you!

I was away too.....Congratulations Sandy! Very proud of you...and thankful for your support on the board :)

What are we protesting? I've been on vacation. But I did catch this just as it first went up. It was a great post Markus. I am sorry you felt the need to delete it. Because of where it was posted, and then it was moved? I do know that the purpose of the SOS board is for SOS's. I'm not really sure why it upsets you that it was moved to the main board. It's just geography. I really don't understand. Bottom line....a good read is now gone. Shame others didn't get to read it.

Nope! On vacation and so happy to nope it!

I drove by on Friday. I beeped. :)

Nope!

I thought 727 was a she. My bad And...I also thought maybe she worked 12 hour shifts. 7am-7pm. Like a nurse

it was tough! Not as tough as the Tough Mudder....but tougher than the Mudderella.....and I loved every minute of it

won't let me do it at work....but I will when I get home very cool :)

attagirl!

and then when she does.......please tell me why you even recognized her...lol

I love running too! But I think I love it BECAUSE I take breaks from it...and then when I go back...it's like...."WOW, THIS IS FANTASTIC!!"

beautiful Markus :wub:
