Compliments of the season to you and your family Kevin. You've come a long way my friend and you should be very proud of those 165 days.I know that things got a little dicee for you from time to time but you made it through and I'm very happy for you. I can relate to your experience with mister toilet bowl but you know what they say "practise makes perfect " fortunatly I don't have those visits anymore I just got to dam good at this drinking thing. :blush: All the best to you and your family Kev.

Hi all, Finally got chance to start that new thread. Several days later than normal. Its been a bit hectic down here work wise and of course christmas wise. This is a year of many firsts. It is Grace's first christmas. My first christmas in 15 years not constantly popping out for a smoke...If I don't actually go to the pub as is traditional and do what I normally do which is get bladdered and smoke loads of cigarettes whilst drunkenly trying to work out if that flashing thing means I got the jackpot. If I manage not to do that then I will also have my first christmas in a long time whereby I spend the morning talking to mr toilet bowl whilst regretting having that 26th double jd and coke! :) Just like many others, christmas was a time for chain smoking and avoiding the family arguments whilst being kept awake with the cold air. This christmas could be different. Christmas is a time of giving and I would like to give big thanks to all that have helped me to get to somewhere I never thought I would ever get. It is a monumental task. My mum would like to thank Sue, Unhooked, Phil, Penitent, Tresa and Lizzie for just being there for me during my darkest hours. I talk with massive pride about you, actually everyone here. My mum knows how fragile my quit is and realises why I have a big place in my heart for you. I have been trying to keep myself occupied by playing strategy games that require a lot of 'caring' for. So far, so good. I hope everyone manages to find something new this christmas. Seasons Greetings to everyone I have met here and those I have yet to have the chance to meet. Lots of Love from Kevin & Family [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]7/12/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 165 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 4,125 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �693.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 20 [B]Hrs:[/B] 16 [B]Mins:[/B] 5 [B]Seconds:[/B] 28
