Congratulations Kdad, You are two thirds of the way to that sought after 1 Year Smoke free milestone today. 8 months in now and you should be really enjoying the benefits of being a non smoker. Better health, fatter wallet and most of all, freedom from having your life ruled by a nicotine addiction. Now THAT'S something to celebrate

Did an eight mile hike in the foothills of Mt San Jacinto today. Came within 12 feet of these Bighorn sheep along the trail. Beats a treadmill any day.

NOPE

Sad to read Grumpy Cat has passed away NOPE......

Wow , here it is . After waiting for 1 and a half month , It arrives . Finally feeling happy . Now i can peacefully focus on the 6th semester which is the last semester .

@freeatlast if I used to quit while working I would say I can't do this - it's just too stressful at work. If I used to quit while not working I'd say I can't do this as all I want to do is lie in bed so I don't smoke and then I'm too bored. You could have those two days and then on Wednesday be saying i'm restarting my quit as I had a big row with my friend last night and I'm too early in my quit to cope with that stress. You must do what is comfortable for you but just keep in mind the smoker in you will always be looking for that "excuse.".

thank you all!

Good work Potts! You're working your way to a degree in Computer Science AND a degree in NOT -SMOKING Both will make your future better.

freeatlast, you will have a few days of discomfort. They are all doable. We will be here, so be sure and keep us informed on how you are doing. Hopefully we can guide you through!

Thanks for checking in freeatlast. I have to tell you that you have to really want to quit in order to succeed. Especially the first month or six. But you want it bad enough and no amount of stress will stop you. When you do go back on Monday, maybe tell your coworkers that you have quit smoking so maybe they'll cut you some slack and forgive you if you're not as pleasant as you normally are lol. Stick close, post an SOS if you feel yourself caving and we'll support you as much as you need or want. You can do this!

Ummmm ............. just a suggestion in case you're at a loss for a monthly charm somewhere along the line.

Good evening, I just put out my last cigarette. I am looking forward to having a supportive community to aide in my journey of healing from this terrible drug addiction. I smoked a pack a day, and am looking forward to finally ridding myself of this nicodemon. I believe in myself and am excited for the challenge. What I am most looking forward to is healing my mind body and spirit from what I consider a 10 year nightmare. I am embarrassed I got hooked but the only way to heal is to forgive myself and choose better for my future. I am determined and ready. I know it will be challenging but I am worth it and I am quitting for myself first and foremost. Very excited to experience a life nicotine free, it has been so long that I don't know how that looks or feels. Thank you in advance for any supportive words and encouragment.

Great job on your exam @Sunshine59 and even better job at staying smoke free!

Okay, we are camping and my husband decided we were going to hike from the campground into the town. He didn't tell me it would be through a cemetery (I met all the dead people of Lebanon, Ohio) and down a hill (which would be up on the way home). He said it was only 1 and 1/2 miles. Turned out to be 4.37 miles and 9,397 steps. What were we thinking. We both are too out of shape for this kind of hike. Someone actually stopped and asked us if we needed help in the cemetery. We were to embarrassed to say yes "give us a ride back to the campground". We did however have some good laughs at ourselves. We did make it back to the campground. I will let you know if we can move tomorrow!!!!!

Hey there Freeatlast, Your name gives an inkling to precisely how you must be feeling right You've taken a courageous step, and shown yourself some long overdue love. My advice is pretty much along the lines of what @jillar mentioned, educate yourself, know thine enemy, learn to understand your triggers and try to stay away (I know it's tough) from stressful situations. Read, read, read. And yes, shout out whenever you need help, you'll be surprised at how many of us are cheering you on. We may not be with you physically, but we're with you in spirit. Just remember, take it one crave at a time and yes, reward yourself for the milestones just to recognize how awesomely dedicated you are. Best of luck.

Here's the logo if you want to put it in your signature We also have tickers that you can make that will show you how much time, money saved and cigarettes not smoked you've saved since you quit. Super motivating

It was 2 - never liked the dark. My imagination goes into overdrive. Even a leaf on the path looks like an animal in the dark. I am 56 and I use a night light designed for a baby lol

Don't come home smelling of other animals and don't limit treats - I know when I've had enough ?????
