Thanks Andrew. Nice to know there's others outthere just like me. I too am not ready yet to get back on the wagon. I will eventually but just not yet. Ill keep logging in to here every now and then. If you find you are ready some day drop me a message to simontaylor22@aol.com and we all see if we can do it together. Not ready yet mind. Cheers Andrew.

Aww Si, I come back off holiday and see this

I'm so sorry you lost your quit, but don't beat yourself up about it and don't think you let anyone down or that we are better than you.

I know you were having it tough at weekends and I really know how pets get to you.

I've had strays and rescue cats all my life and 4 1/2 years ago had to make the same decision you did with my "little man" Floyd.

Having to make the decision to put him to sleep is the hardest decision I have ever had to make and I don't mind admitting I cried like a baby for months afterwards.

I wrote a poem about it, I hope it helps...

WHEN IT IS TIME

When it is time for me to go,
Please do not fear, I’ll let you know.
We have been friends through rain and shine,
I am yours and you are mine.

I know you love me, I know you care,
You look after me, you are always there.
I hope you know I feel the same,
I purr at the mention of your name.

You took me in when times were bleak,
We connected though we couldn’t speak
You gave me all you had to give
A happy home, a chance to live

My life with you is full of joy
You treat me like your little boy
I wish I could tell you how I feel
I hope you know my love is real

I steal your chair, I steal your bed
I pester you till I’ve been fed
You never moan and never shout
In spite of all the rules I flout

I’m glad of all the time we’ve shared
I’m glad I found someone who cared
I’ve tried to repay you everyday
In my own peculiar way

Before I suffer let me go
It’s the greatest act of love to show
Please do not think you’ve betrayed me
By helping me pass on peacefully

Just be there like you always were
Comfort me, I will try to purr
I know it is the right thing to do
I’d do the same if I were you

So when my time comes please be strong
It is the right thing, not the wrong
Please spare me from enduring pain
Be sure that we will meet again

At Rainbow Bridge I’ll wait for you
We’ll meet again as you pass through
To love each other as before
Side by side for evermore

When you feel ready to try a quit again we'll all be here waiting to help and you'll always be a member of Dolly's Mixtures.

Whenever you're ready we'll be here to help you Si.

Well today at 11.30pm Rochelle and I completed 6 months smoke free

Gina is not far behind and neither is Becs, I wonder if she'll look in as it is a 6 month milestone?

Normally I'd be really chuffed at achieving half a year but recent events on here have made me feel a little subdued.

Still, an important milestone which has now been documented.

Sorry about your dog Si. I know its hard and we've all been there, me included. Lost my dog a few years ago that I'd had from being 4 years old, they become part of the family, and you never ever forget them. Can't imagine life without the two little terrors I have now, which I got from kennels as their previous owner decided she didn't want them so you can't be blamed for losing the quit so don't be too hard on yourself.

My holiday has arrived. I go at 1. This is the last 'danger zone' for me. I've done everything else including drinking lager in the warm weather. Wish me luck!

Have a fabulous holiday Rochelle

Don't forget that on Sunday night we will have both completed 7 months clean!

Gina, I hope you are still with us, sign in and let us know.

Si, how's it going buddy? I hope life is treating you well

Enjoy yourself Rochelle, think about all the extra things you can buy instead of fags
