    Well done on a month MFD :beer: :T :j

    Day 19 and counting :)

    Nearly had a stumble yesterday but got through it.. went to the pub with a few friends they all smoked :eek: ... even one of them who very rarely smokes decided he'd had a bad day and was going to smoke, he always nags me to give up.. could have killed him :D

    Congratulations to everyone who has reached a milestone or simply lasted another day without smoking! :T

    I'm not doing too badly today, except for spilling four cups of coffee up the stairs this morning :mad: :embarasse

    Only slightly twitchy so not feeling too bad about myself.

    I'm glad to say I've still not smoked, even though a couple of times I have thought about it but didn't! 5 Weeks today!

    I have just had it pointed out to me that the 'ann' element of anniversary is because it relates to a year (thanks DH :mad: :rolleyes: )


    I have therefore christened this special day as a 'monthiversary' - is bellie the next one???

    n7 - yours will be a quintweekiversary :D
