Way to go Linda. Your quit should be all about focusing on the positive which is what you're gaining from being a non smoker. You should not be focusing on the negative which is what you think you are missing. Don't give any traction to the junkie thinking. We are all very proud of you.

NOPE...

NOPE - Not One Puff Ever.

I would think twice about buying any toilet where you see Pooh on the wall right next to it.

Thank you so much guys. I will never give in but it helps to know others understand! I want to be here for others too and despite being a grown man I am almost crying! Nicotine is a poison I am going to fight all the way. Lets make sure it never gets us again! By the way this facility where people can come if they need sos is amazing. Lets do this together

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

Linda, This is wonderful news! Make sure to treat yourself for passing the one week mark and making it through hell week!

Lets get this music fest of the creepy off to a start with an Aussie contribution..... and here is the one I bet you all thought I would post....

Still on the Aussie bandwagon....

This too will pass. Your addiction will always be there and moments of weakness do happen occassionally! You have made it this far and are strong enough to keep going! Take a deep breath and concentrate on how your body is healing. Wow Betterbreathing, 95 days is awesome. Keep that wonderful quit going!!!!!

It can be a tough road at times for quite awhile in different ways as we struggle to adjust to our new lifestyle but your are well on your way to becoming comfortably free of your addiction. Carry on! It's manageable now but a bit of a slog at times. It will continue to get better just as it has these past 3 months. As long as you adhere to NOPE, it will always continue to get better!!

Yes! It will pass Betterbreathing! It's actually pretty common to have a rough patch right around the 3 month mark. It's kind of a weird time. The early days of quitting are behind you and all that excitement from the early battles is over but you're not completely on solid ground yet with your quit and, you think you should be by now. Time to double down on your resolve to protect that quit you have nurtured for so long now. Remember the reasons you wanted to quit for. Focus on all the benefits you've seen since quitting. Spend time here around other quitters for support. You're entering stage two of your quit. You may need a hand up here and there. Plenty of peeps here to do that for you

@jillar Found a book today that was given to my father for his 4th birthday; Feb. 7th 1928! I'll have to give it a read tonight! I'll let you know how it turns out (lol).

Your doing great Linda. Hell week over. As Mac said, try to focus on the positive because that is so much better for your mind and body. Think of how much better you are going to for doing this for yourself. best wishes.

You're smashing it Layla. Keep up the good work!

Way to go Layla! Keep up the great work. Best wishes.

Yay Linda, you're done with hell week! Good job

High Five Linda ....!!!!.....

Congratulations Layla 2 months is awesome!! Remember to reward yourself for this achievement, and tell yourself "This is my reward for my awesome 2 months of not smoking!" You have to reinforce the positive Love your quit to keep your quit!

This is awesome Layla, way to go.

Great work Layla!! You're doing fabulous. Reward yourself for this second milestone then one to 1/4 year

Congratulations Layla! You are doing awesome!

A lot of us have been at the same place you are at currently, Matt. Believe us, it does get better. Stay focused on not taking another puff. Nicotine addiction is both physical and mental. The physical part ends fairly quickly (usually the first three days....they are tough but doable). The mental part can cause you to struggle longer, though. I didn't see how long you had been a smoker but I assume it was for a number of years (like a lot of us). It takes a while to get the mental part out of your head. Smoking was a routine, a crutch, etc. Over time, you grow more used to being smoke free, mentally, but smoking thoughts and craves sometimes pop out of nowhere during this "no man's land" time. Keep going strong. I know it is frustrating but it does get better. It may not feel like it but at 95 days nicotine free is great. Keep up the great work.

Yes, we do have an amazing place here filled with members from all over the world and in all phases of their quit. And as we all know, no one knows better than former smokers just what we go through when quitting so for me the support was invaluable. Stick close, read or watch videos about our addiction or if you just want to give your mind a break from the constant thoughts of smoking, head over to our Social forum. Lots of different things to do there

Wow, that is so cool @reciprocity. It must have meant a lot to your dad to have kept it all these years!

Great job Oona! 2 is twice as great as one!
