Good luck Mallory. I really hope you make it this time . . .
Awww *sniff*sniff*. Linda, I need a tissue now and my mascara is running! I'm glad we could make you smile. I am very determined. This weekend is the big test: hubby's bachelor party (better late than never), LDOL, and hubby's best friend's wedding. There will be MUCH drinking.

I think I'll be substituting cigarettes for nookie this weekend. Hubby better be ready for me!!!!

For me this is a HUGE achievement, especially since today has been just strung out, crazy, and almost unmanageable--and I handled the stress without smoking. (I may get fired for over-using the Internet) but I couldn't do it without everyone on BN and BW.
YOU CAN DO IT. I've been quit for 1 year and 5 months now. Stopped cold turkey. I started when I was 16 and stopped 12 years later, March 22, 2003 :D . You can and will do it. We're here for ya.

PHin power for (((((Buffettbride)))))
Awww. Thanks so much. And CONGRATS to you!!

This isn't so much positive as just hilarious- I'm very pale, I very rarely go out without sunblock. Well, in order to avoid blinding people at Jones Beach, I bought some tan in a can. I put it on last night before I cut the cat's nails. As you may remember, I have a sphynx, which is a mostly hairless cat. Well, my sunless tanner wasn't dry, so now my cat has parts with a fake tan!!!

I would post a picture, but I don't think you can actually see it on camera- it's fairly slight, but I'm her mommy and I notice!!

Good luck Mallory - I have never smoked, so no real idea how difficult it is to do ...

however ... I did go off the rails and have coke fora solid while recently and stopped two days ago ..... I have woken up for the second day with a bad bad head from it .... but the positive thing is I didnt have any caffeine yesterday and today should be the end of it and I will be back to no caffeine again (and not feeling sick from it and it playing tricks with my mind as it does :o )

Awww heck Jenny! I'm addicted to caffeine too! That's the next for me to conquer. I simply LOVE my Pepsi. I get terrible headaches as well when I've given it up in the past. After about 3 days or so, the headaches and cravings subside. You can do it! I know you can!!!

I love my new job.

I love my husband more every day.

It's been a mild summer here in the right corner of Texas.

My dog thinks I'm phabulous.

Jimmy's still touring.

Life is very good.

POSITIVITY. I like this thread.

I'm a dork, but I still have friends

I think I just passed my two years on the job and I am now union vested, which means I would have to be caught in the bossmans pants to get fired

I am absolutely astounded by my Kids everday

I really want to meet most of you

Jenny has made my 2nd grader a hero

Training at work is hard, but I'm one of those "getting it"

I still have a little scotch left and tomorrow is payday
