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.

*wonders how to let him down gently*

Congratulations @Ferimeth There is a celebration thread for you here... https://www.quittrain.com/topic/12433-ferimeth-is-1-month-smoke-free-today/

And just like that, 1 month goes by. I'm proud of my quit, no nicotine patches, no urges at all, being healthy starts being fun. It's like my brain just switched off the part that told me to smoke.

Hi free and welcome. You have a great attitude. Read and learn as much as you can about this addiction. So much great advise from all above. I just wanted to pipe in and say welcome aboard.

Hi freeatlast! So glad you have made the choice to quit. Many of us smoked for way more years than you. Do not be embarrassed. The addiction robs us of our reasoning. As you travel your journey to freedom, you will feel so empowered and your self esteem will grow. It truly is just a short bumpy ride for about a week, until you are nicotine free. The rest of the process is just redirecting your brain. Just shout out if you need us. We all have been where you are at.

Welcome aboard freeatlast, this is a journey that will change your life (and from what you say this is what you want). It can be tough but, as said above, there are ways to help you on this journey. Educate yourself, come here often to read and post, and try doing the daily NOPE pledge -- it may seem corny but it really helped me!!!!!

Welcome aboard freeatlast and newest member of the 2019 Ashkickers, congratulations on deciding to take back your life There's a train full of support here so be sure to stick close especially in the first few months of your quit. There's lots to do here to not only help educate you on this addiction but also help keep your mind occupied and off the craving so be sure to check out all our various forums. Also we have an SOS board for those who feel they may cave to a crave. We ask that you give us a chance to help you past it by posting an SOS. I've seen it work many, many a time and used it myself in my early days.
