Day 3 and I'm still OK. I think because I've seen the light re: my circulation, it's making it easier than if I just 'wanted' to give up,

Nope not ever

Nope

NOPE!

NOPE

We have been putting poison in our bodies 20 times a day for decades.... It's no wonder are poor bodies go hay wire....for a while ....we are all different ,and the healing process is different to each person too... This is why the one day at a time is so important.....it can change from day to day .... Your doing great .....

There is NO craving that is too big to defeat, when you are committed to NOPE! There's tough ones for sure but YOU are always completely in control and therefore only you can determine the outcome here. We have all faced adversity in our quits and have dug deep to defeat them so take heart ..... quitting is totally doable

G’day NOPE!!!!

A lot of what you are going through is normal. There will be some weird feelings like this but that is your body adjusting to life without the poison of nicotine. You will start to see a lot of improvements to your overall health as time goes on. You are doing a great thing. Keep up the awesome work.

NOPE

Just got home from work and it went very well. I've felt tired which surprised me as I would have thought I'd be full of beans. Maybe it's just a coincidence and I've been tired for another reason. It's weird how it just clicked with me after seeing the vascular nurse on the 22nd. I'm sure all of us have always been fully aware of the damage caused but carried on smoking nonetheless until we saw our individual 'light.' It's going good and I haven't had any mega cravings so far.

NOPE - I don't smoke anymore.

NOPE

In Honor Of My Sister Who Passed On, Today Is Her Birthday ABSOLUTELY NOPE!!!!!

NOPE

Congratulations on your quit, mightyboosh. Soon, most all the nicotine will be gone from your body. The exhaustion doesn't last long and not everyone experiences tiredness. It is good you are communicating what you are experiencing, this helps us know where you're at and is also a road map for other quitters. Keep a close eye on your blood sugar and drink a good pure fruit juice (one w/out corn syrup or other added sugars). If you start to feel tired and hazy for a while, don't worry it will pass, it is just The Great Smoke Free Mental Fog and be sure to reward yourself for every crave or trigger you conquer. You will never/ever have to go through this again.

NOPE...

Feeling very tired was a surprise to me also, kind of caught me of guard but I used to my advantage. You are spot on about seeing "our individual light. The same thing happened to me and what my nurse and doctor were saying finally hit home -- took me too many years to see but I finally did see and things are better now. Keep strong!!!!

NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nope!

Boo....Did we catch anything ...????

Glad you're still on board mightyboosh! It's great to have that one important reason to quit. Keep it close to you as you navigate the early days of your quit. which is when you'll be challenged most often. You are doing great

Great job and only the beginnings of the benefits as they magnify as the quit goes on!!!!

NOPE!

NOPE in honor of your sister, Queen B !

I have a feeling I've messed this game up - so not being a stick and taking away I'm guessing I would be -2

Gonna have to go for a nap now. The excitement of winning and sudden confusion in my mind realizing I have to lie now .... oh man! I'm tuckered out 😴

You win Reci! My Great, Great Grandpa Black was a famous General. His picture hangs in the Library in Colonial Williamsburg. My Great, Great Grandmother was a Daughter of the Revolution, so I am automatically a member. I found this stuff out when I did the ancestry thing.

Congrats on the 1 year mark, welcome to the Lido deck. Definitely take time today to take your seat on the deck to celebrate the day, you truly deserve it!!!!

🤸‍♀️Verywell done!!💃

Welcome to the Lido Deck Parsley....take a drink from the bar ,and take your well earned seat !!!

Congratulations on one year quit parsley and soon to your hubby as well I hope you both celebrate your awesome achievement and do something fun today!

Congrats on making it to the Lido deck!!! Hope you celebrate your day as you most definitely earned it!

Glad you stuck with it your body will thank you! This board is a great resource for all things QUIT. Don't worry about weight gain at the start you can always lose that later.

I'm painting one bathroom wall where I ripped out the STUPID toilet paper holder and made a big hole which I mended also. I had no wine, no nap and the painters tape took off paint where it should not have. So, I am nailing up a piece of trim like a picture rail to hide the mistake. That was earlier while waiting for fcuking handy man to show up. He did not and was fired. That is two in two weeks. I should be on the cursing thread.

Can you write a little smaller, I can still see it 😄😄😄 Seriously though, congrats on three days Phil. You're halfway through that hard week we call hell week. Keep on hanging tough, you can succeed

Go here to Tickers and Here are really good directions from BKP

thanks @Sazerac! -4

I wouldn't think so either Linda. Doing my research it seems most Dr's are now more pro than anything. I will say I don't feel as fatigued as I had the past few days which is great! That lack of sleep wasn't helping either so hopefully it will get all turned around. I'm sure I'll have the days that hit me harder than others but at least now I know what to expect now and how to manage it. One day at a time. Alright so Team Deadpool back in action! We took a nice 20 min walk this morning - not bad for our 1st day. I'm definitely taking some 1lb weights to carry tomorrow, keep those legs and arms in action!! Her hip was giving her problems near the end so we might take it a bit slower tomorrow. Every day is progress. I figured today I would just pace myself. Rest when needed and be active when I can. Be smart and listen to my body. Starting to re-think a few things I did on impulse such as the wigs. I don't really need that 2nd wig at all. That was definitely an impulse order. Since I haven't done the try on yet it hasn't been billed to my insurance she can return it and I can save the benefit for later in the year if I decide. Just trying to be smarter on some of my decisions and not go off emotions wrapped up in the moment. So here's to the rest of the day and what it might bring. No big plans today so I'll just take it by the seat of the pants and see where it takes me!

Nope

NOPE

Your priority for the first while is solidifying your quit and making sure it's rock solid. I gained weight and frankly still have some extra tonnage on board but I don't smoke so I'm good with that! If you are really concerned about the weight issue, feed yourself healthy, low calorie snacks. Get into exercising which will keep your mind occupied and will also keep you busy and burn calories. I didn't do either of those but that was my choice. Bottom line is, your quit is Job #1 for the foreseeable future
