2 weeks NF as of today! Still a big ole NOPE for me!

Nope. Another day is upon us. Face it with confidence and wisdom and tomorrow will be here before we know it .

A Big Fat NOPE !!!

NOPE!

Thanks to everyone........ I honestly couldnt do this alone. If i knew that the hundred other times I quit. It would have lasted for more than a day. I wish you guys could see my daughters face when they realize their mom is serious this time. Thank you Quit Train???? I think another 2 months more and I'm gonna have to join a group for quit snaking, because i am eating my butt off.??

Hi I'm Katie, I just signed up today, and literally quit less than a day ago. I was reading some of the posts on the message board and it really helped me get out of my own head when I was feeling weak, so thanks for that.

npe Heading out shortly for a tropical smoke free vacation. Don't have to pull my hair out jonesing for a cigarette on the 5+ hr. flight.

NOPE!

2 weeks is awesome!! Congratulations!

Thanks! In my 11th day. I swear with my addictive personality, If I can, literally anyone can. Allen Carr smoked 4 packs a day. He quit. No matter how bad you think you got it, somebody has got it worse. I never thought for a second that I would be a non-smoker, even for 11 days. Hell, 1 day... They do nothing for us. They take away our health, our time and our money.

Ran 1.25 mile on the treadmill then walked on an incline the rest of the time ...21.5 lbs so far. 35 more to go. How's things with everyone else?

Update - I only smoked about 12 packs of Camel non-filters since starting this thread so I am not doing too bad. Only two packs a day. OK kidding aside - I managed to make it through that tough period. At some point Sunday Jan 14th, it is like the intense craves just kind of stopped. They hit hard and sudden then just... gone. So I guess it is back down to "I would like one" instead of going nuts wanting one.

Can't believe its been a year already! To all of you having a hard time with quitting, take it from me, if I can do it you can do it. You will get to a point where you don't think about it or miss it at all! Thanks again for the kind words!!!

Right.. I seem to vacuum a lot more. (wife got me a killer vacuum cleaner for Christmas)

Congratulations BAT!! 4 years is amazing and I know you;re realizing all the benefits of being smoke free. Great work and thanks for hanging around to help guide us newer quitters

Big congratulations to you today John! 1 year quit is awesome You can take your place on the Lido Deck now sir. Relax & have a cocktail. You have found your ..........

Tonight at 10:30p will complete my 5th day no smoke. I don't know what to do with the extra time and money. Heh, yeah I do. Time especially, It seems I have so much more time on my hands. Never realized how much time I wasted smoking. Today, today is all I want.. If I can make this happen and keep my quit, anyone can! Anyone!

Look who pops up at mention of Bat....I know there is something going on there....Either you two are doing it...the horizontal mumbo...or swapping spit......OR your the Same person....Batman/Ginger depending on which outfit you got on.

Welcome Katie. Listen to the others and read, research and reach out as needed. Everyone here is a great help. They all have been at my side for the last two weeks. It is not easy but it is not all that hard, just commit and remember 1 hour 1 day at time and remember NOPE -- Not One Puff Ever (believe it or not that one statement has gotten me through a couple of tough times this last couple of weeks and this site as well).

Yeah, it happens. Sometimes I fall asleep in an upright position watching television. Usually if I fell asleep with my feet on the floor they would be a bit swollen when I woke up the next morning. Not so much today. Think this is anything to do with not smoking?

NOPE!

NOPE!

NOPE!!!

I had several smoking dreams in my 1st year of quit. I would wake up horribly miserable until I realized that it was just a dream. I truly think that it helped me keep my quit.

Superman is a hero But only when his mind is clear though He needs that fix like the rest of us So he's got no fear when he saves that bus... Questionable video. Good song.

Yes i felt the same way, if i can quit anybody can. We are doing this.

Nope..... No way!!!!!

Congrats!

Way to go Bat! killin it!

4 Years is Bombdigs... congrats.

I’m a huge coffee lover. One thing I thought I would never cut back on, but I have had to. Later in the day is when it hits me. I’ve cut back about half of my normal daily intake. It seems to be making me nervous. Cutting back helps.

Mountain hiking Saturday (10.3 miles) and Sunday (14.4 miles). Total combined floors on Fitbit = 785. Only drawback is that 6 of my toenails are black and doomed to fall off. Lichen on quartz crystals.

Good job and yes, the extra time on your hands is shocking at first. Think about all that time you wasted and not only smoking but planing your smoking activities in your head. Do I have enough smokes to last until morning? Is my lighter about to run out of fuel? When can I get out for a smoke break at work? Oh wait, gotta go back to the house, forgot my cigs It's incredible how much of our daily lives were consumed with smoking related thoughts/activities.
