G’day NOPE .....Not One Puff Ever.... (replace Ever with Min,Hour, Day as required)

Nope

Nope!

Ugh. I can actually FEEL things inside changing. I say ugh, this is good I know, but it feels so weird. I feel hugely over aware of my insides right now. My lungs are filling up with air so lovely and easily but also feel like they need a jet wash, there's a creaky raspiness there, what feels like a vibrating sensation in my side and a cough starting. Oh and my nose is running. Lovely. This broadcast has been brought to you by "Wow you're attractive today" productions. In association with "Gallon of tea and self pity" incorporated.

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

NOPE...

Happy 11 Month Anniversary today Mac! You've just about done it all now at 11 months smoke free. Start packin' your bags cuz you're goin on a cruise next month (Covid be damned!!)

NOPE!!!!!!

NOPE!!!

So close.....you can almost touch it. Congratulations on 11 months Mac.

Wow !!!!.....Your nearly there ..... Look !!!!! The ship and the Lido are coming in !!!!

Yay @Mac#23, you're now just one short month away from one year quit! I hope you're planning something special

You've poisoned your body every day for years and now you haven't for over 2 weeks. Your lungs and all your other airways have decided to start purging that coating of gunk that's been building up on everything. The human body is amazing at healing itself once you stop trying to kill it. Tea is good. Extra water is good at this point too, will help break up mucus. Keep the tissues handy and hack it all up! In with the good (fresh air) out with the bad (all that gunk)

Nope!

NOPE Ach, cigarettes are no longer a problem. Beer is a bit of a problem. But not for long. If you can quit smoking, you can quit anything. The important is to quit the cigarettes. Those are those ones that will kill you. Invest in stocks invest instead. I quit 85% in 6 month. You can never get back what you spend on cigarettes.

Good job Mac. Prepare the deck, we've got another one coming in hot.

Congratulations on 11 months smoke free, Mac! You've done great. 1 month to the lido deck.

Being a bitch ,is not in my nature .... Hmmmm..,.well maybe in the Sticks and Chicks

Really enjoyed the walk - tackled some uphills aswell and that felt good. Have definitely settled into the day now and will probably be less anxious for the rest of it. Day at a time! Even a minute at a time if that's what it takes at points.

G’day Yep, I remember that, part of the healing is to cough up a few fur balls.... Your lungs do that now for a very good reason..... they can!

Enjoy it while you can, Carpe. Soon enough the brain fog will disappear, the lethargy may stick around a little longer but will also abandon you, sleep improves, etc. The insane need to eat everything in sight (or not in sight) may outlast other symptoms. The new boring normal will be a person who thinks clearly, breathes easily and deeply, may go for long walks/ runs/ bike rides without going out of breath and is generally a healthier, more energetic person - how incredibly boring.

Hi all sorry I’ve not posted for a bit I’ve had a bit of illness to deal with which went on for Christmas into feb (not Covid) either way all is good on the non smoking front. Before posting I had to work out how long it’s been . I think it’s 3 years 8 months. I hope this gives encouragement to those joining the path especially during such difficult times, when you have to work out how long it’s been your not doing badly. I hope your all well within your quits and dealing with any Covid issues. It seems we are making good progress here in the U.K. at the moment and long may It continue. Wherever you are in the world stay strong with your quit and stay safe X ⚒

Linda, I think this is an age thing also. As we mature, the less we want to deal with drama. Some people just love to stir the pot and cause misery!

Replacing something that will kill you (smoking) with something that's good for you (walking).....how smart is that? I'd say it's brilliant!

I definitely have had more moments like that - so very lethargic and miserable! I think today I was tired of sitting and analysing my innards and thought right well let's see if a walk kills us then. Obviously it didn't and I was far less breathless on the steep hill than I would have been previously. Tomorrow who knows how motivated or not I will be - but we are all brilliant for doing it aren't we. It's bloody hard Thank you Jillar really appreciate yours and everyones kind words of support. Back at you - bunch of superheroes on this forum. I bet a lot of people wouldn't have got as far without this warmth and advice.

Wow that just sucks. Sometime I wanna be the bitch lol I'm not good at being the part time friend.

Wow CarpeLibrum, good going taking that walk. Walking and breathing that fresh air is great for your healing body. I am so impressed how well you are doing. There were days in my beginning quit I just wanted to climb back in bed and pull the covers over my head.

NOPE!!!

Your body is healing ...this is all good .....some massive changes going on .... Going for some good fresh air....and take in some real deep breaths ...is also good for the mental health side of quitting.... It's all good ....

20 20

NOPE

I think I am going to bundle up and have a reluctant walk in the fresh air. I am sulking a bit and that won't do anything

Welcome Amy and well done. I'm a very new quitter too. This forum has already been a huge help I'm sure it will help you aswell

I am getting my party duds ready. You have been on one awesome journey!

Congratulations! You've done a Great Job!

Congrats, @Mac#23!

6 It's a Stick-A-Thon!

Hey carpe, glad to hear your body is already hard at work cleaning up the mess smoking caused. Definitely drink lots of water to help break the gunk up so that its easier to expel like reci said. You're doing awesome

1 Is Doreen hiding to avoid her spanking ?

Nope....no way

Welcome Amy. Awesome start to you quit. Keep concentrating on the benefits you will get by quitting. It is so wonderful not to be controlled by smoking! Keep that beautiful quitt going.

NOPE!!!!!!
