Just Wow!!! Has anyone read this book? http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Chimp-Paradox-Management-Confidence/dp/009193558X I can immediately see how this book will help get my brain chemistry back to normal without medication! I can see how this bookbwould certainly help people who pledge Nope then crack, or why people still romance the cigarette. I am very, very excited! Apart fromnAllen Carrs books I have never read, or fancied readingva brain selfbhelp book in my life. So glad I decided to read this.....

Fabulous Tommy, many congratulations to you...you did it, you got your sticky quit :)

I will Action..thanks, might even have two!!! Lol Tracey...loved the backdated congratulations, you are a star! ;)

Might be because I was once I vaper? I just used to put it down to that over the months? Thanks for noticing, it did make me feel accepted. Going to celebrate and have a Bailey's on the rocks tonight, my celebration treat night cap ;)

You are doing a great job...well done you xx

Nope :)

Congratulations Fay....job well done.

Congats Action....you are awesome. :)

Thank you so much guys. This is my first ever celebration thread....you made me feel special and part of something special Evelyn, thank you ♡

Oh yes, the vending machine! Lee sent the dvd back (some one line pay each month thing?) But I will definitely look out for that on sky movies, one I could watch a few times and still crease up. Glad you enjoyed it, it struck me as your humour too ;)

I know right! Hard to start on what made us laugh the most. Babs....literally my belly was hurting, pulled a muscle. So wrong....yet so right ;) Did you get the Wiley fishing reference....lmao Oh and...."she's my cherry pie"...tipped me over the edge, almost wet gusset!

I really am glad to be here great place, it really is.

You have ever right to be proud Marti, you're a credit to yourself. Certainly got yourself a great attitude and a sticky quit, no lovers young dream for you...;)

Good post Iam...and so very true. Lol @ Marti's NOT just loves young dream. I always knew the other times were 'how long will I last' times. Lovely to finally be in a completely different position, physically and mentally free. Like you say Iam...you just know don't you, and I can tell this is your sticky quit too. Really made up for you :)

Fantastic Marti, all Ashford & Simpson....Solid As A Rock.

Horrid smell, let's hope you're not there too long. Hope you are ok xxx

Glad you checked in and are solid as a rock, in your quit. Have missed you Love Shazza ;)

Oh I just love Abba too!....timeless music, to me anyway. I'm enjoying Bastille...but a bit like your boyfriend...not over and over...please Lee..lol

Oh Annael my hubby is Bastille mad!, they are, to him, what One Direction are to the kids..lol... ;) Today this came on my mp3, love this....happy dance around tune. Plus Ricky's very easy on my eyes ;)

Lol...that made be laugh. I have just to do my Bonnie Tyler number on our karaoke nights...betting I will now be pants, just ain't got the voice anymore...lol...

Today's benefit for me.... Husband has just mowed the lawn, the smell....just beautiful.

That's exactly what my doctor said yesterday Jonny, that my brain chemistry hasn't yet caught up. So lovely to have you around about this, it really is. I know what you mean too about being happy and positive about the quit. I could not stress enough to the doctor yesterday that he really must not think that I'm missing smoking, or romancing any ideas of being a smoker again (hell really would freeze over first!) It's not anything to do with not smoking...it's just different and a bit scary at times if I'm being totally honest. I am so very glad that you're brain chemistry got back to normal, I'm determined mine will....but it really does help to read it actually does.

Hi Jonny, thanks for posting this. It's funny, I find life's ups and downs much, much easier as a non smoker as I haven't got that horrid withdrawal affecting my reactions every 20 minutes or so. I noticed little things like not flying off the handle at well, silly little things really. It's been replaced with a sense of inner peace almost. I am however (as my depression post said) having my blood checked to check things out. Whatever the outcome at least I'm free from smoking so that's all that matters. Of course if there is help out there to stop some of the symptoms, and stop me accidentally walking into things/having blind mental blocks(it's as though I forget what I'm doing, or who I am) I'll take it. If there's not then head down...crack on..and write myself reminders of what I'm doing around the house...lol..no matter what I'm free from smoking...and that's priceless. So glad you are evened out in your mind.

I knew you would Evelyn, I never doubted you for a single minute. Enjoy your cake and roses. :)

Great stuff Pippa, you must be over the moon :)
