Whoo hooo fantastic ladybug your doing great x

Sorry but I did like the Banana bit better, still chuckling about it now............

Hi Doreen just want to send you love and strength, it must be very frightening for you both, I have been having terrible cravings lately, and your sharing of your story re-iterates to me the importance of what I and we are all doing on this board, keeping the quit is important

A whole host of reasons, and ones that changed on a daily basis, health, family, money, dying young, dying painfully, every day I "quit" and everyday I started again this went on for years, but it justified smoking in my head, over the last few years my quit attempts became longer, my son would tell me every day mum I don't want you to die, my partner would tell me every day, your son needs you, I finally listened to them and realised they cared about me more than the addict inside me did and it finally clicked that my life is worth more , its not easy, and sometimes the big dip is scary but its doable and thanks to the support of everyone here I can do it......

Hi Juan how are you doing, just remember that the addict will always be there trying to keep you smoking, please don't put it off too long as the longer you leave the quit the harder it will be to come back to it, we are all here to help and support you

I am a true believer in our Angels, may she always walk with you LB and keep you safe, I'm sending hugs and strength to you too I was so sad to read your last post and just want to say be proud of yourself you are doing fantastic x

Great your getting to keep your journal going Julie, I'm looking forward to catching up with it, we came on here so close together with our quits, and your doing great x
