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 ...????

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.

I will PM you the instruction for how to get a ticker. It's a great way to follow cigs not smoked and $$ saved

Congrats, Parsley! Celebrate this fabulous milestone and KTQ! 😎

you keep mucking up chicks and sticks too ! Take a nice LONG restorative nap, Reci.

Welcome to the Lido Deck, Parsley! Excellent job. I hope you celebrate big today!

Congratulations on day 3, mightyboosh. Circulation is a big deal. Your body is so happy you have quit. Everybody gets happy with circulation... Sex, Health, Money & Time

Hey Parsley !! Congratulations on your One Year of Freedom. How are you feeling ? You have conquered a year of craves and triggers and deserve a huge celebration ! This coming year will be so much better and you will get stronger and stronger. Freedom is delicious. Go have some Big Fun.

I am sitting in a pub not eating a shitty meal while the kid eats her much yummier looking one while I listen to some moron who thinks he is smart butcher history, facts and the meaning of words to his friends at the top of his voice as if he is the smartest man on earth...no Mozart was not deaf, that was Beethoven...and no a philistine is not someone who is uneducated....yes Australians did fight in wars before WWI....no there were not 15 boats in the first fleet.. .. argh

How's it going @mightyboosh? Early days can be tough going at times. We are here to lend support all we can cuz we've all been where you are now.
