Not only is September the best month of the year because all the cool kids are born then and its the AFL finals and the Melbourne show but it is also a month full of successful quitters.

 

We have 7 Lido Deck celebrations in September and only one of them is a first timer so September is the home of many long term successful quitters.

 

With so many celebrations on the horizon and Reci still awol I think it would be great if we had some volunteers to help with Lido Deck clean up duties... he has pre-organised the catering and such so we should be fine there.

I don't know what the Lido deck is, apart from the fact that it's a year of being quit...

 

I think it took me 3-4 months to work it out I couldn't get the reference either and I had no idea why everyone was packing bags for cruises around the time their 12 month quitaversary was due.... (yeah not so smart now am I).... after a google search I worked it out... the Lido Deck is the party deck on a cruise ship and (please correct me if I am wrong) in the land of quit you don't get to party on the lido deck until you have been smoke free for 12 months.... so of course its where we have all our celebrations.

 

So @Doreensfree I think Reci might have made an error in the catering order for September 24 ... it just says "Breakfast food, lots of breakfast food."

I really don't mean to be contrary

but, the idea of a cruise ship (even with you lovely quitters) sounds like perfect hell to me

so,  I opted to have my celebrations in a Tardis. 

 

This is why at yearly do's I often say that I have the Tardis standing by  for anyone, if needed.

So I just unloaded the food delivery for tomorrows anniversary party in the Tardis/Lido Deck.... thanks everyone for making the place so sparkly and clean.... and thank you for the whoever it was who spilt their popcorn all over the nice clean floor so we had to watch our cleaners at work just a little bit longer ;) .... so for those of us with a busy schedule here are the pending anniversaries of the annual variety......

I'm expecting to see some really old phartes pop out of their hibernation for this month's celebrations so hold onto your hats newbies and inbetweenies we about to get schooled in the art of celebration I think :D

French Polynesia (Tahiti, Moorea, Bora Bora and some other Islands in that area). Nice place but VERY expensive. Take lots of $$ & brush up on your French before you go there.

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
