Well another beautiful day and possibly even weekend on the horizon, how fantastic is that?
We';re getting towards spending lovely times outdoors with our friends which is always tricky for people who are stopping smoking. The only thing I can say is notice the number of people around you who don't smoke, because they aren't moping about the fact that they cannot have a cigarette, they are enjoying themselves and having a lovely time. So be positive and don't give any cravings or thoughts of cigarettes the time of day because you don't really want one, and it would really ruin a perfectly good afternoon/evening/weekend if you had one!
So be positive, have a wonderful weekend and always remember NOPE! Not one puff ever.
And enjoy the sunshine! xxx

Looks like it is going to be a scortcher here in Kent, 13 degrees already this morning, so should hit about 22 later i reckon and half a day for me so i will be out in the garden enjoying some sun
Morning All, nice picture Chrissie, enjoy your afternoon off Pinkie
I'll be doing my packing today for holiday, off to Majorca this weekend and really looking forward to it 8 weeks today I stopped smoking so this will be my first holiday as a non smoker Hope you all enjoy the sunshine today NOPE x
Oooh Briar you have a fantastic time its a strange one not smoking on holiday, i felt like i was being duped as didnt bring any duty free home etc, and on an evening i had to keep telling myself that having a ciggie would not make the moment any better! But once you have your first hol as a non smoker out the way it does get easier x
Have a great holiday, Briar, you soooo deserve it. You will feel a million dollars gallavanting with the kids and family, or chilling in the sunshine - and all smoke free!!!!
Hi everyone, just back from hols myself. Enjoy your break Briar. Just be aware of the triggers and pre-empt them e.g. getting off the plane, last cig before going into the airport etc. well done on 8 weeks!
Hi.....so nice to have the glorious sunshine...thou I had a thought today of sitting there with a fag...must admit the thoughts are defiantly decreasing and really not that often...but the sunny weather does make it worse ;( . But I'm getting over the thoughts much quicker . ;). Chrissie am I right....I think. ;p we are on 2 months on Monday!!!!!!!!! ????????
What a lovely day it was today, briar congrats on your 8 weeks and have a fandabidosie holiday Today is 2 months for me, have been using patches but actually forgot to stick one on this morning....oops! But I haven't actually had any cravings today .... whoohoo! x

Wow that badge looks stunning on you Briarwood - MASSIVE CONGRATULATIONS to you - you have done so well and I'm so proud of you!
I'm so sorry I've missed you the last few days - I got completely hooked on Masterchef and I feel so bad about that now, but have a fabulous holiday and I'll be really happy to see you when you get back (no showing off the suntan though - it'll only depress me!)
