Congratulations @Christa326 for being 5 months smoke free. Well done Christa for building such a solid base for your quit and a life time smoke free. Its great to have you still on the train. Make sure you do something special to reward yourself and celebrate this milestone. We would love to here how you rewarded yourself.

Congratulations @Kate18 for being 1 month smoke free!!! Well done on being a whole month smoke free Kate. This is the hardest month of being smoke free and you have got through with your determination and your amazing baked goodies. Its great to see you NOPE each day and the determination and self commitment in those NOPEs you can do this sweetie, this is just the first of many anni posts coming your way. So rewards are really important during your quit, they are a major part of the whole process... so every day is a day to celebrate but your anniversaries are magical... let this day shine, just like you do.

G,day The girls went nuts over both the Beetles and Elvis and lets face it, I was still throwing rocks at girls.... My vote goes to Dylan

Not sure if it's the angle, but it looks perfectly fine now.

Good for you Christine, and you're almost done with hell week! A question: can you change your quit date to your new one and maybe put your old date in your signature or vise versus? I go by the quit date to give you the replies for where you are in your quit. I would hate to tell you, well at 7 months quit yadda yadda yadda......

Love this post C... You sound so positive !!!.....high five !!!

Nope going on 7 years - celebrate every single nope - they add up quickly!!

Heading out for a row at 10am. Dreary in Glasgow today...

It's not unusual. I still remember cravings hitting me periodically, but in waves, after a year. At airports of all places. The big picture is that the cravings will continue to grow weaker and less frequent. However this might be a good time to review the reasons you quit to begin with. Write the reasons down on a piece of paper and keep the list with you at all times. Revisit the Newbie Package and Joel's pages, and read and remember. Revisit any practices that helped you early on. Your resolve will become even stronger and the cravings will continue to weaken and become less frequent. Hang in there!! You've beat this thing and all you need to do is remain vigilant!

Have been feeling the same. We have worked so hard to get to this point and once we hit the milestone our old addiction tells us how we rewarded ourselves in the past. Proves that we need to still guard ourselves from relap at all times. As you know it will pass - set your next milestone - 2 years. Ps. I was talking to a fella just recently who relapsed after 24 years - can you believe that - 9 years later he is still smoking and is fighting the battle to try and quit again.

I knew you would keep that great quit you have Positive thoughts that everything at work ends up well

Wansit, you are not going to stumble because you are strong. No matter what circumstances life throws at us, it will not have to change our quit. Life has many bumps in the road but we always navigate through them, and I have found that I always come out stronger on the other side. Hang tough. Don't let the uncertainty wobble your quit. Shout out if you need us.

I've seen em too and was worrying that there was a big Anni I was missing...then I thought maybe someone birthday.....but maybe they just wanna hang and pay it forward.

Did someone say Sausages ???? Best thread ever ...

G’day A crave in week 1 of quiting is like stuffing a rat in a coffee can. You hold the lid down. As the oxygen level runs down that little rat/crave is in the fight for its life. Youve got hold of the lid. Are you letting go....No away are you letting that little sh1t out...... all in all it’s pretty draining. Your fighting for you life too. A craving at year one is like a wasp flying into you drink bottle. “ where the hell did that come from?” You’re not that stupid to think you can just release it. You know how dangerous that would be. Without another thought you screw the lid down and chuck it in the bin. Problem? What problem! it’s solved C

Hey @farmgirl, These craves are the last live embers of addiction as you put it to sleep. Remember, Addiction doesn't magically go away, it is something we must live with forever. The quicker we silence our smokey thoughts, the quieter the addiction becomes. At a certain point after the first year, I could no longer call my smokey thoughts craves, they were just wisps of a phantom. You may find this post helpful Lifetime of Addiction
