WEEKEND CHAT 1st/2nd FEBRUARY 2025🚭🙌

[Briarwood]

Good morning and welcome to our Weekend Chat everybody 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️

It’s time to say goodbye to January and hello to February. I think January is one of the hardest months in the year as the weather is usually cold and this year in particular, we’ve had bad storms as well. So I really want to congratulate all of you for getting through this month smoke free 🎉 Well done👏

The thought of a nice new month with brighter evenings is definitely one to hold on to. We can put January behind us and move forward with renewed determination on our smoke free journey.

Sometimes we need to have a little chat to ourselves about our commitment. When the going gets tough and we feel a bit disheartened at times, that’s when we really need to dig deep. We can remind you that your quit smoking journey is the best thing you can do for yourselves. We can also remind you that the craving will pass. You are stronger than a little white stick full of harmful chemicals. When it seems the struggle is all uphill, you turn a corner and things improve. So never give up.

One craving at a time, one day at a time and keep fighting 🤺

If you had a slip up last month, take this month as a fresh start and a new beginning and please try again. Sometimes it’s takes a few attempts before we get it right.

Listen to your body and be kind to yourself, you are worth it. Have a great smoke free weekend and we’re here if you need us for anything, take care and NOPE🚭💪👍💃🍰🫖🍰🫖🤗xx

Good morning Briarwood 🥰

Great post to start off a new day, new month, new beginning! Amazing!

Oh my!! 😫 I cannot tell you how many attempts it took me to now be on my longest quit ever!! I cannot tell tell you my first quit attempt was 31 years ago!! 😵 but if I gave up and took that as my final answer I wouldn’t be nearly 5 years quit now! 😲🙃😃

So I totally agree, you can restart your quit journey at any point, don’t give up, giving up!! 🙏🏻💝🥰🚭 NOPE

Hope you have an amazing weekend and everyone else too ☺️🥰🤗💝🙏🏻🚭

Awww thank you Briarwood 🥹🥰

You played a massive part in my journey as all the admin here did and members too. Quitting with others was amazing sharing our journeys together and supporting each other too.

So much value in having a quit buddy 🙏🏻

White rabbits ! Good morning Briarwood and everyone clicking in . Yes White rabbits is an old tradition . If on the first of the month , if the month includes the leter R you say White rabbitsto bring you luck.

My neighbour used to put sugar on her outside doorstep. Meant to be a tradition to feed the fairies for good luck.
