If you get precip. at 0 degrees, it might actually snow! Gotta say; if it does, swimming will not exactly be what you think it is

Dreams of Smoking

I’ve had a few recently. Always the same thought inside the dream “when did I start smoking again”

NOPE

@Sazerac... don't do it ... ....saz...it's been a long time.... I don't know how I'm gonna act... AwwYEeeAaaa!

Hi. I'm introducing myself here again after a long(2 year ) break during which I went back to smoking a pack a day. My quit will start this Friday. My name is Sarah and I'm 58 years old. I have been smoking for 43 years! I have to stop! I am extremely anxious about making this change. It's VERY important to me that I succeed in staying quit this time. I have done a good amount of preparation in the last month, yet my mindset is still one of FEAR and I know that is the wrong approach. Can anyone help me with creating a positive attitude toward this quit venture? I'm going to read a lot of posts here for sure. Thanks in advance!

Do you want to take a poll in regards to waxing your possible?.......lol

I'm pulling out my glitter stash and sneaking it into @c9jane29's pocket because her rugs must never be glitter free. What kind of world would that be ?

Wondering where the party's at?? In the caboose?? Or is that only for @Doreensfree?

and you have to have a successful quit with us ! your handle, Sarisaac and Sazerac are too great a tongue tier to miss !

Welcome Sara. You will start a marvelous adventure of self discovery. Quitting smoking provides a catalyst to revealing self-confidence and a profound trust in yourself when you stop poisoning yourself and take full charge of your well being. Here are a few threads for you, the first is 10 Ways To Effectively Use This Forum To Help Yourself To Quit Smoking which will help you navigate around the site. and a few from our friend, Joel Spitzer. The first, a must see and one I revisit every few years. Can You Spare About An Hour And A Half To Help Save Your Life Fears Regarding Smoking and Quitting

Hi Sarisaac. So happy your back. I am 65 and smoked for 43 years. Never thought I could quit until I landed on this forum. You have the power to do it to. Stay close to the forum, get to know us all and and we will help guide you through.

Hi Sarah, nice to meet you. I don't think you need to worry about your fearfullness. It is interesting though, isn't it? We should actually be more fearful of NOT quitting than of quitting. You say that you have done a good amount of preparation in the last month. I'm not sure what that means but hopefully it means that you have been learning all that you can about nicotine addiction. If not, hopefully you will dedicate some time to learn about this horrible addiction. That will help you to see that smoking does absolutely nothing for you, thus resulting in a positive mindset! Welcome back and best wishes to you for success!!

Can anyone help me with creating a positive attitude toward this quit venture? I can help ..I was a 52 year smoker ...I've never felt better ....quitting is the best thing you can do for yourself ... Everything about being free is positive ...no negatives at All

Your fear will melt away once you get started on your quit. It's quite normal to feel scared before hand Once you actually quit, all your focus will be on learning all you can about nicotine addiction and how to free yourself. Luckily, you have an army of other quitters who will give you all the support you want and need. This support is an important tool in helping you quit. Stay focused, stay engaged with the forum. read all you can and learn from others. It will really help you succeed

Hi Sarah, welcome (back?) You said you went back to smoking, how long were you quit before you threw it away? What is it you're fearful of? Succeeding? Having a healthier lifestyle? Or maybe it's the increased self esteem or the money you save? All of these can be very scary...…………...NOT! There is absolutely nothing to fear with quitting Sarah. We all did it so that should be proof enough that if all of us can do it anyone can! Stick close to us, stay active and lets get this done!

Hi Sarisaac. Remember that the discomfort you will likely feel in the early stages won't kill you. So, knowing that, there's really no reason to be anxious. Just bring bundles of determination. If you make a commitment not to smoke no matter what your addict brain is telling you, there's no way you can fail. The benefits FAR EXCEED any distress you feel in the beginning. Remind yourself on a daily basis of the health and financial gains you are making in addition to the overall sense of freedom. This may be your last chance. Make it count.
