"Happy Thread" for bp... Part deux!

Hi all,

Well, the Happy Thread has been in hiding and I thought it was time to search it out. The last one had 49 posts which shows *just how happy we can all be*!! It also means that it's really time for a new happy thread.

So ...

I am happy to see all the wonderful new folks here.

I am happy that this is my 3rd day without smoking and I am doing OK!!

I am happy for chinese rice crackers -- when I find that I am eating *way* too many, I know it's time for my next bit of nicotine gum!

I am happy that Rosie's doing so well stopping smoking! Think that might be connected to the panic attacks? *hugs*
Just remember, you can do it!

I am happy for my boyfriend, every single day I am happy for having him. It was our 5th anniversary on November 4th. 5 lovely, long years.

I am happy that my eldest cat is well and fine, after months of testing and cage confinement because they thought she was really ill. All her tests are negative and her scans and physical internal exams are all fine.
She's a bit more clingy because of all the upset and having to be in a cage for nearly 2 months, but she's well and happy.

I am happy for my Dad because he's been given the rest of a module to lecture at his university. The lecturer who was taking that course had a heart attack, which we're very sorry for and we're hoping he'll be back on his feet soon. My Dad's loving the new course and loving being able to lecture more and it's some vital income for them!

Hey all,

Cap, I really thought I was chickening out each time I said that I wanted to give up smoking but that it wasn't the right time ... but I really knew it when it was the right time: all my willpower was there after all -- and so was the nicotine replacement gum that I bought about 8 months ago! (Shows how long my mind can take to catch up with my actionc, eh?!). It's really reinforced how much I don't think it's bad when people *can't* give up: I truly believe they *can't* at that time, but I also know that there may be a time when they can if they want to. Darn the old addiction!

Nicola, you may well be right: the increased anxiety and panic may be from giving up the cigs. I have to remember that -- in fact I'm clinging on to it right now. (I didn't book to see my doc today on the basis that I'm hoping it is the lack of cigs that's causing all my current problems.)

I'm happy that, according to my Click2Quit calendar, I've now saved about £27.50 over 10 days (about 275 cigs: I smoked rollies, which is a lot cheaper than regular cigs, but it also makes it harder to work out how many you smoke and how much you're saving, so those figures may be slightly off!). I'm happy that I am currently chewing my first gum of the day -- and it's 11.45pm here.

I'm kind of clinging to the positives at the moment. I'm happy that I can come here and write them out -- helps bring them to the forefront of my mind.
