Back again for the third shot at it. Cannot stand the old smokey joes anymore and it is time to Bust the Buttend once and for all!!
I am making Monday my quit day. Have to do it as cannot afford smokes anymore and cannot stand the way it dictates things. First quit back in August for 52 days changed my life so dramatically - and for the better - but a stressful period. Now I am ready. Getting in that drivers seat and doing my checks ready for.......

Well done to NS4M (my little night bud), Francessca (thanks hon for the message), Mr Whiteboy you are going so great well done yous, Buffy and Boudee - brill, Mr Admiral Steveh and everybody else you are all so cool.

I was just wondering how you were getting on. Fantastic that you've decided to give this another go, and you already know that you're going to get so much support and encouragement here.

img126.exs.cx/img126/997/36... Well done everyone your posts are all so motivating, encouraging and inspiring. I can do it this time and I will.
A friend of mine who is about to quit also told me a story about her friend the other day. Her mate who has smoked since she was 9 - so for some 30 odd years approx 30 a day - has quit via champix. Her thoughts about quitting was this. That the pain of withdrawal would be a lot easier to cope with than the pain of living and going through cancer. That really struck me and I am keeping it in my head a lot. It is all a matter of choice and sometimes those choices are so hard to make at the rough times as the consequences of our actions can seem so far away. Her mate is doing really well which is great!!
OMG!!!!!!! You have decided to come home. I missed you lovely!!! I am sooooooooo happy to see you here and ready to try once again!! Oh how great is that You are amazing hunny. Thank you for your kind words night buddy - You are going to feel wonderful this time around. You will sleep well and have lots of energy. I am very proud of you for coming back I hope the kiddies and family are doing well. I haven't been on the forum as much as I was in the beginning but I am doing amazing and haven't really had a ton of time to come and cheer others on through their rough roads. I will make the time though because this forum has been sooo wonderful to me, i need to give back! I am happy to see you once again and I look forward to chatting. Hopefully you are tucked cozily in your bed right now and I will chat with you tomorrow my time and later today your time. Wow it's 2am where you are and 9pm where I am. When you wake it will be your fresh starting day ~ head up sunshine - you have the power.
