Hey Caz, 

I hope you've been having a wonderful weekend. How's Miss Lola doing? How old is she now? I've forgotten. I've started a new diet with a friend of mine and it has not been a easy one to follow, lol, but I'm managing, minus one little slip.  

Have a great day.  

Hi Denim,

I have been using your straw idea, its brilliant, sucking air rather than smoke. I have still yet to complete one day quit, perhaps todays the day, I hope so, thanks for your support you will make a great administrator for this group.

In Christ

Anthony

Hey Anthony, 

I'm so glad you're trying it. It helped me so much, being able to hold that. I hope it helps you too.  

I'm leaving articles here that can help you get started with your quit date, as well as your quit itself. Also, remember that you have support here. 

Thank you so much for your message of support. It truly is appreciated. 

I'm sorry about not responding sooner. My better half has had a recent medical issue. 

Talk more soon.

Good morning Duchess

The lovely Lola is still having her moments, she thinks she rules his house but I’ve got News for her. It’s very cold and wintry here which is really disappointing because it’s only very early in April. I was hoping hoping for a nice warm autumn to get out in the garden. It’s a wonderful thing that you’ve taken on this forum. It’s a huge job.

Okay I’m off to meet a friend. We taking the dogs to the dog park and then we’re going to have fish and chips on the foreshore afterwards. Just shame it’s not nice the weather.

Hey Caz, 

Lola sounds like she's taking right to being a Princess, lol.

I'm sorry to hear the weather has turned so cold so fast. The weather is still a bit up and down here. 

Thanks Caz, you're support and encouragement mean a lot to me.  

It's sounds like you had a wonderful time the other day with your friend. I'm sure Lola enjoyed it too. It's so good to have a day of just being out and about, having fun and relaxing. I hope you've had a good weekend too and have a great week ahead. 

My friend had a minor slip with her diet too, so we called it even and are continuing on. 

Have a great day.  

Hey Anthony, 

Just checking back with you. How's it going? How are you doing? Hope all is well and hope to hear from you again soon. Best wishes.    

Have a great day.  

All's well Denim, into my 6th day, just sitting back and taking it easy.

 Hey Anthony, 

Congratulations!  I'm so happy for you! Best wishes as you keep moving forward. 

Have a great day.

In Christ

Anthony
