Hi Aloha, Super big hugs to you. I miss you guys a lot. You are never really out of my mind. Do you remember all our conversations on the SSC IM? Its partly your directness that got me through and personally I wouldn't change you for the world. Thanks for asking the all important question. When someone goes away for time I always wonder whether they went back to smoking. Truth be told, I am still at this non smoking thing but finding it very hard and I have a feeling I won't last much longer. But I am still at it, 254 days or something and not a single cigarette has passed my lips. The work thing..well it consumes my energy at the moment. You see I am doing the work of 4 people at the moment. When people leave, nobody takes their place but the work doesn't go away, it just gets handed down. Whats left is a skeleton staff and when they go on holiday or have babies...Ok, I don't bregrudge anybody having time off. Its my fault for being mr reliable who cuts his holidays short to help out. I do however, fear for my chances of being smokefree by the time everyone comes back. If and when I do smoke though. I won't be scared. I could never lie to you or anybody here. I am really glad you are accepting that not everybody has what it takes to be a non smoker for the rest of their lives. Reading the HoF I know we have some really determined people here. Some may even be able to pick themselves up and give it an even longer go next time. I am not so sure I can. I keep telling myself this is my last ever quit and therefore should make the absolute most of it I can. Anyway, just wanted to let you know you are always in my thoughts and in my heart. I hope for a quiet period when I can write like I used to.

Kev STOP DOUBTING YOURSELF!!!!! I have never tested it long term. I could lose it completely or I could manage. I guess only time will tell. You will not throw away 254 days with one puff right!!!!

Yippee! A day off from work. I can check in with my friends at SSC. So how is everyone? Looking forward to choccie eggs perhaps? :) This year I am reversing the tables and giving a mini egg hunt to my mum and dad. Now I just have to remember where I put them all. I still haven't had chance to catch up on all that has happened, though I did make a cameo appearance in bears 1 year smokefree thread. 1 year smokefree is really cool. Well done Bear. I know we have some more coming up so I hope I don't miss it. Tis holiday season in our department so we are very low on resource, which is why you haven't seen me around for a while. Next month, we're even further down on people as my workmate is off for a month. Could be an interesting time as while I can sustain short bouts of pressure and not smoke, I have never tested it long term. I could lose it completely or I could manage. I guess only time will tell. Anyway, I hope I get a couple more times to write before then.
