Well I haven't yet achieved what I set out to do this year.BUT I am returning to the fold . I will start by reducing for the next few days and then quit.

I've sadly recently and suddenly lost my soul mate,my best friend,the father of my kids,my ex husband but my always love. We have been devastated ,my grief comes and goes . We have the funeral..his last gig..on Monday 22nd ,then i quit. I have had enough,i hate the smell,the hold it has on me,my dependency on nic,and the worry Im causing my kids especially after this with their dad. So in memory of Paul I will stub out for good.

I have been reading ,and watching all you ex smokers and say a big well done to all,stay strong ,never look back.

love to all

Jan x

Hi Jan, I was sorry to hear about your loss recently. You are really such a strong person, always being there for your family, just get through next Monday then I'm sure you can get over this hurdle finally. You know we're all here to help you, keep your pecker up. :) xx

Morning Jan, this will be a harrowing time for you... I've been there. For the longest time everything seems to go on automatic... but, the day's pass whether we want them to or not.

I think you're wise to leave your quit day until after Monday. I can see though, you have the determination to quit. But trust your instincts at the moment, if it doesn't feel right on the day, don't pressurise yourself. Do what feels right for you.

I wish you well, and hope you go through Monday with strength - for you and your boys.

Stay around here if you feel like some gentle company. Folks here are never intrusive, but are very understanding and patient... we have to be... we're all at different stages in this new way of life without the tobacco & Nicotine.

Look after yourself, hope to see you around on here when you're ready.

Regards, Gill, xxx
