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 plan. I quit on a Sunday morning and then took Monday and Tuesday off work for the same reason. I went in Wed. and within a hour my head was spinning and stress level was pretty bad but you know what? I got through it because I was determined not to let anything get in my way. I faked it until I made it. It took awhile but it wasn't as bad as smoking was making me feel. You will find a way to deal with it. Come here as often as you can to rant or ask for help - no shame in asking for help. We've all been there. Use ALL the tools in your quit smoking tool kit. Quitting is a big deal so make it priority #1 during the early days.

@Linda Thanks for the reply . I have done Bsc computer science before , but after 3 years in the college and all i lost 2 math related subjects and i was never able to complete that lost subjects . I joined this course 7 years after that . Meanwhile i was working .Small jobs mostly . Anyway thank god , i am slowly slowly completing this course .

Re-scheduling quit day for this Saturday, I want to have Day 1 and Day 2 under my belt before returning to work. I can relax, watch shows, and rest up for the first 48 hours. Work proved to be too stressful for Day 1 quit.

Yes! Great work. Have a look at the Celebration page. Lots of people congratulating you. Keep up the good work
