This is a weekly event to offer encouragement and camaraderie to those in NML, basically months 2-3-4 of a quit. Regardless of how long you’ve been quit, anyone who likes the conversation and wants to offer support is welcome to participate!
*********************************************
This week's topic:
In just a few days we will begin a holiday week that spans the globe and is a source of both joy and stress for most of us. All quitters, but especially those in NML, need to be vigilant about protecting our quits at time like this.
Revel in your joys this week, whether they come from faith, family, or friends.
Appreciate the beauty around you, whether it’s festive lights on a palm tree or a blanket of snow on the ground.
And if stress comes, just remember that smoking is not an acceptable way to deal with stress. Put your tools to use; re-read the materials if you need some re-motivation (Allen Carr, whyquit.com, quitsmokingonline.com, etc). Find a buddy here that you can exchange cell phone numbers with, in case you’re traveling and it’s not easy to get to a computer.
Your first smoke-free Christmas will become your first smoke-free New Year’s Eve, and you’ll be starting 2012 as a healthier, happier person! Keep that big picture in mind and be PROUD of your new smoke-free self!

If you’re in NML, give a shout! Tell us how long you’ve been quit, and what you’re most looking forward to about the upcoming holidays! Reach out and find each other, this is a great place for support!
