I was reading Angry Bear's recent post (congratulations again and please remember to save me a seat ;)), relating back to his first ever thread on the forum, and it made me want to take a look at my own collection of posts.

I found a particularly interesting thread from around my second month, called "A Little Advice Please ...". I was pretty much decided that I was going to give in and go back to being a smoker. I had accepted that I couldn't ever have "just one" and that I didn't want to fight any longer.

I'd say that's probably been the worst of it for me.

Max, you are my gem. Where would I be without you?!

This post reminds me of how much we have to fight at times to get rid of Nasty Nic. I look back at that thread now and feel as though I was rather dramatizing the situation, but I remember how it affected me at the time and it was definately not fun!

I am so so happy to be where I am now. And I love that I can look back and use those early posts as motivation to spur myself on!

This forum is wonderful. I just wish more smokers would listen to me when I tell them how easy it can be ... :rolleyes:

The transformation in you is amazing Sarah - it's lovely to see how you've gone from being worried and afraid to being so happy to be a non-smoker!!

It does sound like drama when you look back on it, but it's a helpful reminder that you really *did* feel like that, and it's a powerful message not to go back there ever again!!

Massive well done hun xxx

Yeah definately It's the slap in the face you need to remind you that it's so not worth smoking to have to quit again!

Thanks guys x
