This week has had its heavy bits for a lot of us, so I would love to fill the comments with the opposite for a change. Tell me one small thing you are looking forward to, however ordinary. A show you’re currently watching, a home-cooked meal by someone you love, a flowering garden, or a grandchild visiting. The little ones count the most. I’ll start. I am looking forward to sipping hot coffee in the morning tomorrow, because it’s been chilly here for days now. Makes me sleepy too! 🥱 What’s yours? Z

Someone joined us last week, and with everyone getting back into the swing of a new week, I want to make sure we give them a proper welcome. Every time a new person turns up here, it means one more person decided they are worth the effort, and I never get tired of that. One lovely thing about being small is that nobody gets lost in a crowd, so a hello here really reaches someone instead of vanishing into a feed. If you have a minute today, pop into the comments and say hi to our newest member @Alison Koch!! A few friendly faces early on goes a long way. And while you are here, help me give them a running start. If you are further along, what is one thing you wish someone had told you in your first week? Big or small, silly or serious, it all counts.

Whether this was a good week or a hard one, you got to Friday and you are still here, still in this. That matters more than it might feel like tonight. I want to ask you one thing. What is one thing that helped you get through this week, however big or small it was? Please say it below, because the thing that got you through might be exactly what someone else needs to try next week.

Everyone say hi to @Tinu Venture and @Sandra McQueen, the newest members of the Quitine Circle! We’re genuinely so happy you’re both here. This community exists because quitting is hard, and doing it alone is harder. You’ve got a whole group behind you now. We are with you, every step of the way! Welcome to the family, Tinu and Sandra! 💪

Another week down and you did not light a single one up. Not one! Somewhere a pack of cigarettes is sitting on a shelf feeling personally rejected right now and honestly it deserves it. What’s the move this weekend, celebrate hard or lay low and stay out of trouble? Drop it below, let’s hype each other straight into Monday like the unstoppable non-smoking legends we are. 💪
