Can't believe I am here!

After all my slip ups I thought would I never really trust myself to stop smoking. But after many, many, many attempts to give up this is the first time I actually believe I have stopped.

For those of you still struggling - just never give up trying. I had to give up drinking (at least temporarily) to find my way and you will find yours too as long as you don't give up trying to give up!

Thank you all for your helpful advice - you saw what I had to do before I did, just took me a while to catch up!

The only slightly worrying thing is the panic I felt when I ran out of sparking mineral water last night -I actually called my mum and asked her to go to the supermarket in the evening to get me some (my son was in bed so I couldn't go out). I really do have an additive personality - but luckily no died from an addiction to sparking water as far as I know.

Good luck and well done the rest of you

Well done a really positive post from a non smoker! You are of course right about not giving up quitting, for many of us around here we learnt that lesson the hard way.

Do you have any special treats planned? other than a night in with the sparkling water of course!

Fantastic result Zena, make sure you've plenty of sparkling mineral water in for celebrating. You could try sparkling elderflower, 2 for 1 in a well known supermarket that jamie oliver talks about, I love it.

Keep up all this happy positiveness, i'm sure it's addictive.

Lorraine :)

Congratulations Pedru! Very well done.

Any by the way if you were quoting me, I 'loitered' I didn't 'lurk' - they are very different ;)

Thanks Zena :o I didn't think I was quoting you but may be I was, I just wasn't sure where to go from week 3.

Anyway, I do stand corrected and I am glad things are getting easier for you :)

James you're back :D

Been lost without you, had to work out my own days and when to move forum rooms - it was all a little messy until I got to the obvious month milestone - as you have so well done to you. Are you having a fab time with your family and making up on lost cuddles with your gorgeous little girl?

Thank you all of you for your congratulations :D

I was being funny (or trying) then I got all defensive for some reason :D

I'm still learning how to ride all these emotions without the cig ritual :rolleyes:

Thanks for showing me the loitering way...
