I imagined a Jeremy Kyle type guest (any USA residents may have to google) living in a room in my brain. She wore an old nylon house coat, had curlers in her hair and the front was stained yellow from years of "faags". Every time I wanted a fag i imagined it was her telling me so i would send her back to her room. That didnt work so I bought a nicorette spray (other brands may be available) and every time I wanted a fag (i smoked roll ups) i would have a whack on the ole spray. It does taste pretty foul (but then so do the cancer sticks) and I found it dealt with it enough for me to carry on without having one. At this juncture I would like to say that I never, for one minute, imagined I could give up smoking. I loved it (or rather my addictive little dopamine receptors were having a hard house party every time the tobacco came out). So I agree with the, cant scroll up as i am typing in, but someone above this said exactly what I found. Jeez man it feels hard at first and then hey presto! you dont even think about it any more and Mr Marlboro has to find another paycheck.

As above Jack....keep going.

Love you all. Xx

Salad and fish for lunch. The dopamine receptors are banging on the venue door saying when is DJ Bread arriving.......

Over and out
Good advice Soberista I stopped for 5 weeks before then went to Vegas on holiday and drank and smoked like crazy..I will get there yet though Thank you

I'll take 24 more please.

I feel like I have a bit of a cold trying to start (sure throat, stuffy ears) but it sure beats waking hungover.

Wow it's a milestone birthday for sure and I'm so proud she's becoming a lovely young woman. Makes me even more grateful to be sober and present. She'll be gone spreading her wings in a couple of years so our time together is super precious.
Yesterday we ate like beasts! Ice cream parlour for lunch and an Italian meal for dinner. Yum yum! Worth the inevitable weight gain I shall definitely go to the gym after work tonight!
Neoo!!!!!!! Proud of you mate go for it! I'm still on high nicotine liquid in my vaper......might go down a notch when I order some more. But then again.......
(((((Suze)))))) are you okay? Look after yourself today darling ❤❤❤❤
Be gone Leigh's headache! Hope you feel better soon darling ❤❤❤
(((((Red))))) look after yourself sweetie we love you ❤❤❤
Bit emotional right now I'm gonna miss those 2 crazy kids of mine. But of course it's mild mayhem getting ready so too busy to get overly mushy!
Have a great day gang and if anyone is struggling come straight here ❤❤❤



darling Hannah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ♥♥

I went to a meeting tonight, because I did not want to. I usually have to do stuff when my brain resists. Seeing as medallions were being handed out and they called 2 years- I said yes and got it. Satisfied - a good start. One guy there was 23 years sober. He iterated stories of going below decks on the USS Nimitz- for a meeting, where each deck was controlled by a different 'gang'. About his time in San F/C where he was endangered by people with grenades, guns and meat cleavers. This guy does not lie- is too honest at times (like when he says most of the stuff at meetings is crap). I learned a lot listening to him..despite a lot of difficulties he faces with mental health issue- his share was happy and he was grateful. It was a good share.

Please count me ALL in for another 24 hours of freedom from the poison.
Congratulations to our fabulous Milestone!!

I had a terrifying drinking dream last night and woke up with a pounding heart. Thank goodness it was only a dream! Parts of it did have meaning so I jotted down some details and may delve into it a bit today.
Hugs, peace, strength and love to all....xxxx
