The Magic Ship Continues!

Good Evening Cap�n, Shipmates and any visitors here for our big party this coming weekend. WAHOOOOOOO, we loves our parties on the Magic Ship!!! Julie, you�ve gone above and beyond the call of duty keeping track of all the milestones on board this past week....you�re the bestest ever exercise coach and cheerer-onner of our no smokin, no pokin celebrations! Here, have an extra large Dr. P and some fudge on me... :)...and remember on the Magic our food and drink are all calorie free and our cups are bottomless, so drink as much as you like. (Hey, shhhh hope you eakspay piglatin�.if not, I can translate in private�. on�tday elltay aithFay, but do you think you could aketay ynneLay aside and see if she�ll ishday to you in private about the eachbay, since you�re more than halfway there already?) He he he, don�t worry Julie or anyone else, we�re not ever shaving our glorious locks on the Magic as the Cap�n and all our men on board have tons of hair and they all look great in their speedos. Lynne, we�re so glad you�re feeling good and that your weather is great in the UK! Are you sure you couldn�t divulge just a little information about the beach to Julie :) she�s over halfway there already! I�m sure she�ll keep anything you say to her a secret. :) whisper, whisper�.sand�..waves��drinks with umbrellas�..cabanas��sunsets�.whisper, whisper. Jimmy The Mick... A big WELCOME ABOARD the Magic Ship...the Captain�s been needing an extra guy around here (despite him liking the ratio, it's been out of balance especially since Phil seems to have fallen overboard. Arggghhh, the magic wenches tend to get a little unruly when there�s only one fella around to keep them busy. Here, have a cold drink, pull up a chair and tell us all about your gambling trip to Vegas next week! You have no need to worry about the smokers everywhere there, cause you don�t smoke anymore and haven�t for over 55 days! I don't think you'll run into any trouble, so long as you remember NOPE. We�ve heard there�s other stuff that can happen in Vegas...but so as long as you�re not smokin, whatever happens in Vegas stays in Vegas ok? Unless of course it�s tons of fun and you want to share with your new shipmates. We�re goin to the races there on the weekend...you can fly down with

How would you feel if you smoked

The Magic Ship Continues!

Freemom, Thank you for your honesty once again to all your shipmates. I for one really appreciate that, though I am still saddened to hear your news. I am not giving you a pokin sweetie, because you left the ship before you started smoking again. I know I�ve been away a lot myself lately fighting pirates of my own, but the whole magic ship is set up for anyone of us having a difficult time to reach out for help and support before we fall overboard. Unfortunately, I must remind you that when you come back onboard you must promise me solemnly to never, ever smoke again without reaching out for support from one of us first. Only you can stop smoking for you and I belive you see this now. When you are ready, I will be here to help in any way I can. Freemom, I care about you and want to see you have a successful quit. I have copied some information from an old post of mine I wrote a couple weeks before my quit date. I hope it might be helpful for you. I truly believe my quit has been successfully working for me due to this mindset, preparedness and the support from all these wonderful, special people on the Magic Ship. Your friend and first mate, Pat Jan 19, 2007 A lot has changed since I've started posting. The biggest change has been taking the advice to read a certain book. I wanted to quit the second I read the last page, but knew I'd have an even better chance by getting all those little duckies lined up and reading that book a couple more times. Here are some big changes in me since I joined this site: -I am no longer dreading the physical withdrawals of this quit but am preparing for them and planning to celebrate when I beat them down -I know it's not going to be a cakewalk, but I'm stronger than the addiction and am willing to do whatever it takes to quit -I know I can do it now, I'm not attempting to quit, I'm quitting and I look forward to being smoke free -I am no longer doing this alone, I can come here day or night and someone will be awake to listen or offer advice and support Here are important facts I've learned and things I've accepted about myself instead of denying: -Nicotine is a drug and I am an addict but I am not powerless -Nicotine is not my friend, does not make me feel better and is
