I think I feel ready to try and quit again. I don't know how I'll get through it. All my attempts have failed in the past. Can't use nrt or meds. So my only way is cold turkey.

NODE

C'mon now, I wasn't watching a chick flick like Sleepless in Seattle or The Notebook. I was watching a comedy .

You do it in whatever fashion you can. If you can only handle a minute at a time do that. If an hour doesn't seem that far do that. Just breathe, stay close to the board, and reach out if you need any help. We are here if you need us. Also don't forget to post an S.O.S. if you feel like you are going to relapse. Remember post and wait for at least 2-3 replies. You got this!!!

Congratulations Steven ,be proud of yourself we are!!!!!

Well I have made it 12 days, still have some rough times but with this group of great people has made it better. Thank you for all the support. I just have to keep going one day at a time

I usually start getting the strong cravings around days 6-7, so I am staying close to this group. Like I said yesterday, the craving usually lasts 5-10 minutes tops. One day at a time and sometimes one minute at a time. It will get up to 100 degrees here for the next few days, so I will be indoors a lot. I will probably clean my room and do some coloring and maybe practice some guitar. I want to keep my quit. I am truly grateful for everyone here for the support. I am understanding more and more each day what a powerful addiction nicotine is.

NOPE!

Five days is fantastic and there's no turning back now. Congratulations, Steve, you've done it!

@Cbdave- are we going back to the future again? NOPE for Thursday, 7/30/20

Way to go, Linda!

Congrats Linda! Almost 2 full weeks now! It's a real slog for the first while but you're knocking off those days one at a time which is what we all did! Things will start to turn around soon. It does gradually get better and better all the time so hang in there and keep putting one foot in front of the other. You'll make it by doing that (and noping) every day!

Nope! My brain doesn't work that way anymore!

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

I am doing well. I had an urge this morning, but it passed in 5 minutes. I walked down to get iced coffee and came straight back to the house and steered clear of the convenience store. I already know that if I smoke one, it'll turn into 3-5 and then more. I also don't want that shame and stench anymore. I will keep checking in everyday. I am proud that I allowed my urge to pass and that I didn't have to act on it.

Third time quitting was the charm for me! There was a span of about 30 years or so between the 1st and 3rd quits....a lot of damage was done during the 40+ years I spent inhaling poison sticks and I have spent the last 3 1/2 years rectifying the damage done and am extremely lucky to still be around to do so!
