Hi honey I'm home!!!!

[nsd_user663_57259]

I'm here finally!! I cannot believe that one year ago I just stubbed out my last cigarette. I thought it would be hard, but what surprised me most was the complete roller coaster of emotions I felt, particularly during the first 3 months. However, since then it hasn't been too bad. I still think about smoking from time to time and have had a few craves in the last few days but I do know that I will never smoke again!!!

The reason I will never smoke again is that for the first time since my late teens I am free!! I love this freedom. I don't have that horrible drug inside me, dictating to me constantly, making me leave the table at restaurants when I'm having a great time, making me stand out in the rain and cold, making me kill myself slowly and painfully. Instead I smell fresh, my throat is clear, I don't cough, my bank balance is a little heavier (as am I), I have more energy and time but most of all I'm FREE and it feels amazing!!!!

Good luck to you all and thank you to everyone for all the support you have provided over this past year. This forum has really helped me and I hope I can repay the favour by helping others.

Thanks Kat and Max! It certainly is a great feeling to have made it to the penthouse! You 2 have been so supportive to me over the last year - I really appreciate it

I think bathing in bubbly would be completely appropriate, though prob best done in private

[nsd_user663_54305]

Well done Sarah, there was never any doubt you would walk through those doors - the determination and confidence was there from the start!

[nsd_user663_57259]

Or maybe with perhaps one other ;)

Hehe that ain't going to happen!! Hubby has been in bed with a dodgy tummy since 7:30pm!!!

[nsd_user663_57259]

You are completely and utterly welcome petal, it's been a privilege and a pleasure to walk the road with you

Now I suggest you open another bottle of bubbly, one is quite simply far too paltry and entirely inadequate to celebrate such a momentous achievement!;)

My bottle of bubbly turned into a large bowl of peanut butter cup ice cream followed by some crunchy nut cornflakes!! Wild night for me

[nsd_user663_57259]

Well done Sarah, there was never any doubt you would walk through those doors - the determination and confidence was there from the start!

Thank you very much!
