Still winning

My goodness, you must have worked SO hard to reshape like that. Well done!! Bet that feels great to see the difference :) xx

((holski)) Have a wallow day babe, that's ok. Tomorrow's another day and we pick ourselves up and dust our arses down and attack. Take it day by day. Believe in yourself too, you are actually already doing it!!

Scott, Iam pleased you came back to say that. I am really moved by your words, what a fabulous story of hope for the future! My utmost congrats for 18 months and all of your additional achievements, it sounds amazing. I only hope to have half the journey! x

What's scottish then?? lol

nope.

This too shall pass... I still support two quitters there, so pop on infrequently as I have them on facebook. It never ceases to amaze me how people can talk down to each other. I remember at the end there I was getting ready to leave and try and cope alone, it was so stressful going into posts and seeing an argument - or worse, being attacked if you wrote something the masses didn't agree too! Thank goodness for this site MQ, thank you, really thank you. My quit was nowhere near ready for free flight and this safe haven is an utter god send! x

Good on Mrs El B for saying something that made you think :) Those constant craves were mad weren't they! All day every day, thinking about your next cigarette. No wonder I got so little done, mentally exhausting! So pleased you have 5 fabulous months of freedom my friend! x

Gabby, 3 weeks is great!! massive congrats to you. My big thing is you said I will do it this time, I LOVE that you believe in yourself now!! You absolutely will do it, we will walk with youmy lovely. xx

haha, It took me a month to get a picture up. Someone clever will have to do it for me from facebook :) It will take a few months though, money and time to do it. x

It helps to read this stuff. I love stat or two :) Beacon your quit (and actually sheer energy) is inspirational! Excited for your impeding year of freedom. x

To me... It's a promise, a commitment to myself and the people who stand by me. NOPE gives me strength. At one of my weak moments, I had to wait until midnight if I was to smoke because I had given my word....of course by then I didn't want to. NOPE is strength and my motivator to others that I will stand by them. Yeah, it means a lot to me, I pledge every day still. I "like" post from quits newer then mine who pledge for that reason. It matters to me.

Magnolia kid here :) Putting aubergine with it so it needs to be light. I still think it's amethyst but apparently it's aubergine :) With Anne Stokes Art and cushions, I adore that stuff :)

Well in the throws of redecorating the "nico-den". Man it's all kinds of dire and awful. I think all early quitters ought to come here or clean a wall and look at what they were putting in their bodies!! I feel so ashamed of what I was. While most of you normal lot were out in the garden or garage I smoked in my kitchen (my mums lounge was basically the attached dining room) and well, it's vile!! My Mum has my nice clean lounge as she can no longer do stairs. Too poorly now but over a week clean and free from cigs which has really helped her breathing and coughing so much! I could not be happier. So I have a dining room as a lounge now, primer is up across both rooms and ceilings are painted. Walls to go. We are almost free of 2nd and 3rd hand smoke here. It makes me smile :) My moods are still a little up and down, however my quit is as secure as it always was. I truly do not want this vile stuff anywhere near me or mine today or ever again. Once upon a time "forever" scared me, now I utterly embrace it, even through the odd craving thought which angers me more than takes me if I'm honest. So different to my Mums week 2 quit. It all looks very raw and harsh there...my quit is no longer like that. My advice if you're newer or quitting again (I did that a ton of times from July to this March's quit)...hold on!! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel here!! x

I am sorry I missed this. Sleep is a real powerful tool and people don't recognise the re set value of it. Deep breaths help. Cleaning something covered in nicotine used to squash a lot of craves cause yuk. I see you have it covered tiff :) Just agreeing and pleased your free really! xx

My quit is only 3 months old, so I never knew him. However his words were still touching people as I laughed at posts he made and smiled and nodded at others. It sounds like he would of liked that. A legacy is a powerful thing. Hugs to you ((tiff)) x

Brilliant...and true!! I felt pretty bad re my mood swings for my girls, not their fault I was a mardy miserable cow but they did take the odd mood swing....know what...they LOVE that I don't smoke anymore and don't remember for a few weeks I was a bit odd!! It's ok to not be mother earth right now, just don't smoke and you are giving children more of your life!! That is much cooler than thinking a smoke would help! xx

nope

((doreen)). x
