NOPE not today !!!... Welcome to the board Murbe....and a welcome back to Kate 18...x

I remember writing the exact thing.!!!..I'm like a toddler having to learn all over again... I didn't know how to be a adult,without my crutch... The more I did something smoke free...the more it came the norm...now I do everything ,and the thought of smoking is well forgotten... Be patient and kind to yourself..the magic will happen It happens ..one day at a time !!!!

My daughter and I take a great vacation together every year. This next one, I want to fully enjoy every moment of it with her, without thinking of where I can have the next smoke.  I can so relate to this.. I get to spend more time with my daughter...who I only see once a year....have good girly times ...they are such fun,without the smoke breaks ...

This is as real as it gets...you think it won't happen to you ???? Tony did too !!!

That nico monster....he can come visiting,when you least expect it... Every time you fight him...he loses some of his power.. Well done S!!!!...you kicked his butt.!!!

John was one of the most wonderful people ,I have encounted.... His writings were magical...and it was a great shock to those who knew him,when he wrote about his illness.... I'm sure he will stay in our hearts forever...and is sadly missed ...

I'm have in the last month ,lost my life long friend (64 years ) to Pancreatic Cancer...Smoking being the main cause... She was 69 years old.... She smoked up to a couple of days before she died.. I tried my best to get her a seat on the train...but she told me she liked smoking ,and didn't want to quit... I will die a smoker she told me...sadly she did.... I hate this addiction !!!!

What keeps me from lighting up... Living with the devastation smoking causes every day....being a full time carer for your partner with emphysema is no easy fete... Even to putting your coat on and walking out of the house is a drama...you have to make sure that person is going to be OK..while your gone... The little things most folks don't think about..have to be arranged .... If that wasn't enough to stop me..my feet and me ...were nearly parted... Thank you cigarettes...

NOPE....not now...not ever !!!

My grandson is 12 years old...that a year older than me ,when I took my first taste of nicotine .. He is a keen rugby and football player....all his life it been Nana playing football with him .... Because his Grandad has emphysema.... On and off oxygen..so he carnt play .... I had a very serious conversation with him last year...telling him about the dangers of smoking...and this is why his grandad carnt breath... And why my feet were in danger of being separated from me...no feet ..no football...no rugby....brutal ..but honest.... He seemed to totally get it !!!....after promising never to smoke ...and giving us both a hug ...he went on his merry way... I only hope ..he remembers our chat for many years to come ...

Aww...I always get very sad when one of our soldiers lose thier battle... Sunny firstly thank you for coming here and holding your hands up...this is a great sign...deep down ..you really don't want to be a smoker...otherwise you would have dissapeared into the sunset.. Your seat is still here..and still warm...you have done your practice run...now make this your sticky... As others have said..you have to be honest with yourself... And ask what went wrong .....still romancing the cig ???? If so ...re- read everything here... I betting that cig tasted like shit.!!!....and you wondered why you were missing it... It's the nature of addiction... You can do it Sunny...take smoking off the table...no matter what...!!!!

Sending warm wishes Ellen...well done on your fabulous quit !!
