And first of all my I send very special belated birthday wishes to the wonderful Briarwood! I hope you had an absolutely fantastic 1st smoke free birthday yesterday and I'm sorry I missed you but I was at the leaving do last night for the 2 girls who have left our team and it was more or less a straight after work thing, got home at around 9.30 and was fed and watered enough to then be nodding off on the sofa so didn't actually get online - so HAPPY BIRTHDAY sweetie and I hope you saw lots of monkeys in the zoo!
So anyway, I hope everyone is enjoying their smoke free journey - I'm still puffing away on the e-cig even though there is zero nicotine in it! I think it's acting like a placebo and keeps me sane! On a normal evening though I have noticed that I am not using it as much so I'm guessing my attachment to it will just fade away - plus I took a tip off EmJay the other day and started playing with a pen which was an excellent idea!!!
Okay must get off now, but hopefully I'll catch you all later
Have a wonderful smoke free day and stay positive! xx

Yeah thanks Emjay, I love it, you're the best Don't work too hard x
You 2 are both so busy, hope the day goes well for you, not too stressful
I'm sucking on my low nic ecig too Chrissie. Think it's the action that's a pacifier etc too. Got some funny looks this last week, think people who don't know Ecigs wonder what you're on!
Beautiful day here too, and am so glad.
Back from a lovely holiday, no smoking! Celebrated my 8 weeks quit whilst away
It's funny how these landmarks are so important when quitting, helps keep me going, proud and pleased for every hour, day, week, month, and hopefully, one amazing day, year!, smoke free.
Keep the faith all, and make it a great smoke free day

Good evening Chrissie and of course Danielle toooo I hope you have a lovely evening at the pub Chrissie, I really admire you for achieving sooo much already, very nearly totally nic freeeeee I do bow down to you young Lady xx
Dearest Monky, I would love to bow down to you too, but I've had two (count them!) two glasses of wine and it has to be said I'm tiddly - so if I bowed down to you, I could quite possibly fall over!!!

monkyAdministrator35 Months Winner in reply to ChrissieG
Hi tiddly Chrissie gosh your cheap to get tiddly, erm, mind you, it depends on the flippin size of the glasses ehhhhhh

Hello Mister Monky..... Only when I'm at home as I really don't do the heat very well
How goes it wiv you....how'd you get on with your lozenges today?? I could quite easily have succumbed today as I had massive cravings but just ate a bag of crisps instead....!!
Need to find some other substitute
monkyAdministrator35 Months Winner in reply to droopyJ
Hi Droopy
I had a better day today thank you, just had the 1 lozz that was driving home, just cant seem to get rid of that one yet
no night nurse, day nurse or any type of nurse, am here on my own.... Nope its soluble paracetemal and throat lozz for me - maybe a little vic later (if he shows up.....oh the old ones are just the worse....) x-x
monkyAdministrator35 Months Winner in reply to droopyJ

Sweetie this happens to me all the time, and even moreso now, nic free (like you)! You are going through exactly the same thing - just go with the flow - it's not nice but it won't last forever! WE CAN DO THIS!!! xxx
Monky, you are doing great with your quit, on the lozenges? How about the evig? That helping?
Droopy, got to admit a half a chocolate orange just saw me through - don't know who put that in the cupboard, hope they're not too surprised when halfs gone missing !
Got some catching up to do now, ready for the footie.
