Congratulations, Action! Thank you so much for being such a great role model about how to manage a successful quit. Thank you also for showing us how to embrace and encourage others to keep their quits. Your kindness and support have been invaluable to me. I hope you thoroughly enjoy the view from the lido deck!

 

And just to help you remember how far you have come in one year, here's one of your earliest posts:

 

"Posted 31 October 2013 - 07:24 PM

Went to cinema and when I got to the car park I remembered that I ALWAYS have a cigarette walking from car park to cinema. Freaked out and brain stopped working. Drove into concrete pillar and snapped off wing mirror. Had argument with wife about it.

Really angry at myself and my mind keeps telling me a smoke will make everything better. Couldn't concentrate on the film because of it. Can't sleep because of it. It's been hours since. Not at SOS yet, but getting pretty damn close. Not at confident as I thought I was.

Sigh... Bad night."

 

Between you qutting smoking, Tasha's weight loss, your new and improved home and your recent clean bill of health, you two have really have engineered a brand new day for yourselves! Congratulations, Ross!

 I am having Cognac

 

while I deal with my emotions

 

about the Lido Deck metaphor...

 

I feel like you have actually gone away somewhere...

 

 

but, that is silly !  Right ?

 

You are just going to play

 

with The Big Dogs, right ?

 

You won't be far.

 

Love, 

S

Our celebrity....is having a cool time....splashing in the pool with a glass of bubbly.....

Hell be back soon enough ....to take his place.....and all important speech....

[yogi]

OMG Action! How does it feel being nicotine free for a year? I am so happy for you! I would give anything if we all could actually meet in person on that Lido deck some day. That would be so cool. Please save me a seat! If they are all gone, let me know so I can bring one! LOL! Congratulations to you Action! One year is here and it is REAL!  CELEBRATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  :D

[Sazerac]

[JackiMac]

WOW Ross so so happy for you, you make our little corner of the internet a warm and cozy place to come just by being you, you are supportive and positive and I can't wait to join you up there save me a place because this time I will make it xx

[bakon]

No hugs from me but I will knit you a sweater made of kittens held together with hugs. While they are all pointed out, wearing it should be fine but don't get a huggy with people cause the nails are on the outside.

If you were from the big side I would think your light in the loafers with your comments. Definately not a USA dangler but you islanders and Europeans are more metro than us. The valore suit pressed, bet your pimping today. Rembrr to leave it on a little longer and those dr visits will be for her only.

Your a good influence on the board, your caring, have open feelings, say girlie things all the time and seems to be everything most men aren't. The pimp title fits well as most guys don have patience to go that route to get the pants off them. Good work on originality. Just remember which way to count in the sticks game and we will all support you no matter what sappy thing you say

[Jenny]

Ross you are the absolute bestest!  Always supporting, always kind.  We are blessed to have you here with us and I am blessed to call you friend.  I am still amazed that a year has gone by already!   I am so proud of you!!!

Yeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy hugglemonster you did it, you made it up onto the lido deck,

Here's your glass of bubby, pop your shorts on and lie back relax and take in the view on board, well how do you like it up here, see all the nutters (bakon) splashing in the pool!!!

Thank you for being on this hard but worth it journey with us, it has been fantastic to share it with someone as special as you, it's not often if at all, I meet someone on line and quickly become great friends and would be lost without you, Ross you are a very special person and I think the world of you, I am beyond delighted to see you reach your year, you earned it and helped 100's of people along the way, my life feels all the better for having you in it, you had a bit of a wobble around Christmas but I knew you wouldn't have smoked cos you sooo didn't wanna get wacked with a wet soggy fish!!!!

Action Frampton happy 1st smoke free birthday pal, many congratulations to you, enjoy the celebrations because nobody deserves this more then you,

All I wish for now is for you and Tasha's baby dreams to come true cos you will make amazing parents,

Love the bones of ye buddy,

Well done,

Love ye lots like jelly tots x x x x x x x x x x x x

Thank you for the heartfelt message, Sue. I too feel like I would be lost without you, and the thought of that wet fish kept me from smoking on a few occasions ;) I always looked up to you, and thought that if you could do it, then I was bloody well going to do it too (didn't want to loose our wager, either lol!).

 

Thank you for being my friend and looking after me when I needed it most - I will never forget it ;) :wub:

 

It was so totally worth it :)

[action]

Action,

Super huge congrats my friend.  Now you can count backwards in the numbers game :)

It is actually a lot harder than I thought it would be... I have to count differently in each game!

 

Thank you for all that you have done for me since we met - all that you have achieved has been very inspiring, and you are one very special lady (((Colleen)))

[action]

You are amazing Ross. Congrats! I am so proud of you. :) Thanks for all you do here -- you have always been a great support system. :D WTG!

Thanks Leanna, that's really kind. I think the fact that you are still here after 2 years quit us a credit to your character, and I strive to be like you in that regard. Thank you so much for your friendship :wub:

[action]

Yay Action - make sure you celebrate big time !!

Thanks Pip, I did have quite the celebration yesterday ;)

 

I will always remember you reaching out to me when I was feeling blue, so thank you for that - you are a great person (((Pip)))
