Hi Marti, I can't add to this my lovely but want you to know that I know that you will deal with these dreams, because you have been strong and determined all through your quit, I hope you have a better restful night to night and have pleasant dreams xx

Hi Laura, you are recognising that it is junkie thinking, but the addiction is trying to outsmart you, if you carry on you will find it harder and harder as the addiction takes a stronger hold, go have a look at what long term smoking does to you, how your life will end, choose life Laura, while you feel you are struggling, go clean the bathroom, clear out a wardrope, keep your mind occupied on something else, your giving your demons room to grow my lovely please don't put on some music and have a good jig around the room, and before you know it the thought will be gone. Stay positive Laura we are all here for you xx

Good morning all you lovely peeps NOPE

Rob how are you this morning, was so happy to see that you jumped back on board again, be proud, learn from what happened and take the lesson learnt forward with you, we addicts cannot be social smokers I have lots of friends who say they are "social Smokers" but to me they are still smokers, clear and simple you either do or you don't, We are in the camp NOPE. I have relapsed twice over the last year and one lesson I did learn was simply if you feel the simple need to smoke and cannot rid your head of the thought post on the SOS board I did last night, and it really helped to talk about how I was feeling, rather than trying to deal with it myself, remind yourself that you are not ever going to light a cigarette again, tell yourself you are far more important than the nicotine, you want to live life and live your life to the fullest, this life we have been given Rob is not a dress rehearsal, its the real thing so make the most of it. Great to see you back on board xx

Oh Lace so proud of you, your posting has me in tears you have summed up the heart of this forum, everyone on here fights for us all, its a place to come and feel determined, and know that if you look behind you there are many more pushing you forward, you should walk so very very proud you have accomplished a wonderful thing and as you say you have gained so so much more. Big hugs and loads of cookies coming your way xx

Marcus I love to read your posts they are so full of wisdom and its wonderful that after 7 years you are still around here to help us to commit to the quit. There is so much to look forward to being a non smoker and having the health to enjoy them is a major factor, thanks for believing xx

Very very powerful words Runfree and so very true makes so much sense, smoking has no benefit to me, but somehow deep inside there is that pull, I like you need to work towards understanding and dealing with this and realising that Smoking gives me no benefit whatsoever and my life is much more rewarding without it xx

feel better been for an internet wander, signed up to raise funds for British Heart Foundation, came back here and pull has gone thank you so much everyone xxx

Oh and for all of you wondering what Dechox is its giving up chocolate and sweets and all things nice for the month of March OMG :o what have I let myself in for xx

via my facebook page..........pm me is you want my full details and I also have a just giving page so if you want to give a donation to the British Heart Foundation let me know and I will see if I can copy and paste to the Quite Train, Many thanks xx

Good point El B, stop fighting and relax the thought will pass, I am actually having palpitations its awful, deep breaths...................

NOPE today and NOPE tonight, its important to not look back look forward realise and believe these thoughts will pass

Im staying strong Ava, I feel maybe that was my downfall before I always tried to battle it without coming on here, by talking everything through I am re-affirming how much I want this thank you xx

Fantastic Gem one year and six months and your quit is solid. xx

Fantastic Rooster that feeling of pride is brilliant isnt it hold on to it and be proud xx

Everwhere I look today and tonight all I seem to see is people smoking, first time I have posted on the SOS board but want to talk this pull out of my system. The desire to smoke comes on in a flash, and tries to hook me in, I hate this emptiness, I know there is no immediate cure, I know I have to fight the urge, overcome the desire, look away, but always seem to say to myself why is it so damn difficult, I don't want to smoke I want to be a long term quitter. Thank god for the long time quitters here, who I have walked beside, when I fell they fought back, so I know deep down inside that over time the thoughts and desires will go away, but I want this pull to stop and to stop now, I am fighting back but rather than fighting back inside I am using you wonderful people and your strengths to fight back with me.

Rob there is no such thing as a sociable smoker that is just the junkie in you trying to justify itself, believe me I know because I have had those thoughts too, and I have had the relapses, you either want to smoke or you don't there is no inbetween, for me I no longer drink as I know that once my inhibitions are lowered I would reach for the smokes, and being a non smoker is far more important to me, put tonight out of your head in the morning, do not look back and lead yourself to a brighter and healthier life, you and your body deserve more. I hold on to the fact that all the long term quitters ahead of me tell me it gets better, and I have seen them wobble and seen them come through it stronger and more secure in the their quits, I want to be that quitter and I believe you do too.

Absolutely fantastic, well done xxx
