6 points6 points6 points5 points5 points5 points5 pointsHello Shezi! Welcome aboard. Ever so glad you have six plus weeks off cigarettes! That is an amazing accomplishment. You spent 30 YEARS in active addiction. Referring to the above statement.... I am a bit over 6 months smoke free after 37 years of slavery and hardly ever think about it anymore. You are making a massive change. It may feel like you miss it, yet I am certain the benefits of remaining smoke free FAR exceed whatever you perceive you are missing. You got this, even when it feels wobbly. The train is a wonderful place for support, laughter and community. So glad you found your seat. Use the boards.5 points5 points5 points5 pointsCatching up ....1day without the internet...and I've missed so much ... Specially. !!!!!!!
5 points5 points5 points5 points5 points4 pointsI agree with @jillar once you put that last cigarette out, you really have quit, at least until you light up again. Why not start your quit now? It is good to take it one day at a time but quitting for good is very doable. Focus on making it through tomorrow, or the next hour, or the next minute, etc. With time smoke free, you will see that you are much better without cigarettes. As far as your mind rebelling against the idea of not having cigarettes around, that is the mind of nicotine addiction. The key is to rid yourself of nicotine and you will adjust physically and emotionally with time to being a nonsmoker. Any early struggles are worth it long term.4 points4 pointsGood decision Pedro and did you know that your quit starts the minute you put out your last cigarette and since you don't have any cigs left why not just start now? 😊4 points4 pointsHi Pedro....Welcome aboard ....

Glad you are feeling pride in quitting smoking. There are tons of benefits that come along with quitting.4 pointsThank you everyone for all the well wishes. I am glad I have you folks for support.❤4 pointsI remember when I first blurted out ,very proudly ..I'm a Non Smoker ......Good for you .. Get well soon Steven ..glad your op went well ...4 pointsI met a friend for lunch yesterday....we are both at the delicate age... We both noticed how paranoid we were about using hand gel....like every couple of minutes ... Plus it took forever ,,just to order coffee,s from Costa....by the time you have given your details , cleaned your hands .. waited in a long queue 2meatres apart ...I know it's necessary...just a reminder of how different the world is ....and just a simple cup of coffee ,has become a chore ...4 pointsAgreed that this is getting old! We just have to keep reminding ourselves that our healthcare professionals don't get a break until it's over. However long it takes, we must stay diligent. Yesterday I forgot my mask and walked into a store. So I have to renew my own determination to stay the course!4 pointsWe are on the tail end of flu season here @Mee .... its been the best flu season we ever had with numbers down by an astronomical amount... probably because lockdown has been so extreme here, or previously we were all so unhygienic ... i defo have Rona Fatigue and Lockdown-itis. Last year at work we had a few go down with the flu/pneumonia... this year there have been none.4 pointsThat is awesome! Speedy recovery to you. Guard that quit.4 points4 points4 points3 pointsWho knows how far this thread will go. I decided tomorrow I'll try a smoke free day. And I'll keep posting important info about it on this thread. This is my quittrain thread. Feel free to comment. tomorrow is first day of october. I can say for now that my mind is rebelling against the idea of not having cigarettes around (as I have none now with me). sSO this is something. a mind feeling the lack of the object.3 points3 pointsG’day NOPE .....Not One Puff Ever.... (replace Ever with Min Hour Day as required!)3 pointsI had to go in for prostate surgery last Thursday and was discharged over the weekend. It was nice when they asked if I quit smoking and I could answer a confident yes! It will be a couple of weeks til I feel normal. Except for a couple of "smoking dreams" during the last week, I still have no desire or cravings. Thank goodness.3 points3 pointsOh and this ones for pur lovely @Sazerac ... suse you would have posted this if you weren't up to ya elbows in paint.. Still remember the first time I heard this...it was o me of those songs that made me go w out the he'll is this and where have i been that i didnt know it existed..didn't just hear it, felt it.3 points3 points3 points3 pointsThat is great Steven. I remember a hospital stay in my smoking days - laying in bed, plotting my way to the exit so I could go have a smoke! Isn't it a wonderful feeling not being chained to those thoughts! Keep that wonderful quit going.3 pointsG’day I’ve got a day off, I’m at home. It’s 8:30 am and I’m struck by how incredibly quiet it is.... It’s school holidays so no school drop off. A lot of folk must be working from home. You can only hear a car every now and then and then it’s a single one and it stands out. This Rona world is diferent.....I’m off to do some work in the yard. No I’m not going to work to hard just enjoy the garden and the day.3 points2 pointsHi Pedro! So glad you have decided to quit and include us on your journey. Everyone here is ready to lift you up and help you across that finish line. Quitting seems like a monumental task but is just a matter of committing to not smoking. When those craves come, you learn to redirect those thoughts. Take the time to educate yourself and hang around and get to know us. You can do this!2 points2 points2 points2 points2 pointsI don't know if anyone else is feeling like me but this whole pandemic is getting old! The weather is starting to change and I am starting to dread the winter and being cooped up in the house. It is very discouraging watching so many businesses close. We definitely aren't going to come out of this the same. I think the numbers are going to get worse during our flu season and we are not going to start to emerge from this until March of next year! We may need to start a support thread!2 pointsSteven, you definitely heal faster and better if you are a non-smoker. Take it from me, it's a fact!!! Hope you feel better soon!2 pointsGreat to hear your Quit is going strong Steven. I wish you a speedy recovery.2 points2 pointsThat's awesome Steven and you'll probably find yourself healing much faster than when you smoked! Hope you're 100% soon2 pointsThis leaderboard is set to New York/GMT-04:00
