Hello my lovelies and welcome to our weekend chat πŸ’¬ πŸ™‹β€β™€οΈπŸ™‹β€β™€οΈπŸ™‹β€β™€οΈ

It’s time to say goodbye to Nopevember and hello to December. It’s a new month and new possibilities for being smoke free🚭πŸ’ͺ

The wet and windy conditions are a great incentive not to go outside for a smoke. When I think about previous winters when I smoked and the trouble of getting loads of clothes on and even gloves, just to get outside for a smoke😩 I even remember the little burn holes on the gloves and jackets, it’s crazy the lengths we go to. Imagine the difference not doing all that and not being a slave. I didn’t want to be a slave to cigarettes anymore. I wanted my freedom and although it wasn’t plain sailing, it was the best thing I ever did. If it hadn’t been for Quit Support I’m not sure I could have done it by myself to be honest.

Quitting is a journey and that journey is more of a marathon than a sprint. At times you really have to dig deep and remind yourself why you want to be smoke free. Friends of mine that had never smoked thought it was just a case of stopping and that was the end of this. We all know it’s far more than that and that’s why Quit Support is brilliant. We understand as we have experienced it ourselves. So this weekend, if you’re tempted just pop on here before you act on it. It’s a lifesaver.

Another benefit is the money which is badly needed at this time of the year. I can afford to spoil the little ones and see the joy on their faces. And I don’t miss a moment of it now I don’t keep nipping outside for a puff. So many benefits and of course I haven’t even mentioned the main benefits to our health as that’s a whole other post for another time.

Here’s hoping our neighbours enjoyed their Thanksgiving Celebrations πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ πŸ¦ƒ Wishing our Scottish members a very Happy St Andrew’s Day 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and Happy New Month to all. Let the Christmas magic begin 🦌🦌 πŸ›·

Have a great weekend everyone and remember NOPEπŸš­πŸ€—πŸ«–πŸ°β˜•οΈπŸ°πŸ«–πŸ°β˜•οΈxx

Good morning Briarwood πŸ₯° and everyone πŸ™‹πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Great post Briarwood πŸ™πŸ»β˜ΊοΈ being a smoker just takes up so much time and preoccupation!! Now I can just get on with things, doesn’t have to start with a cigarette or worry about or on continuous breaks! And like you say this time of year those breaks take longer, with having to pile on all the clothes!! πŸ₯Ί then I’d have my β€˜don’t smell I’m a smoker’ routine!! 😩 chewing gum, more perfume, wash hands!! 😳

There is so much to gain and nothing to lose!! πŸ˜… Even where it was a crouch at times, I’ve now learned to listen to me and support myself through a situation better. If I need a breather, I take one for me because that’s what I need, not because I thought I just needed a cigarette 🚭 which was hard at first and quit support was a massive support during these times πŸ™πŸ»πŸ˜… but now feels nice πŸ₯°πŸ˜…πŸš­

Hope you have a lovely weekend and everyone else looking in πŸ₯°πŸ™πŸ»πŸš­πŸ’
