Hi Kdad I only on day 3 so no great advice. You came back to post you struggling and I can think of no better place to hang out as you struggle then here. I a new found respect for any who have quit. A deep respect for the journey and choice. Keep trying and do it!

NOPE

I have some simple advice. Stop putting things in your mouth and starting them on fire.

NOPE!

NOPE!

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

2 months!! that awesome just my opinion man- lets roll

I once rode the short bus as well- short bus is reserved for us dumb asses that ruined a perfectly good quit. Good news is the short bus is easy to disembark, but can only be done by boarding the quit train. You know what to do- dont be a dumbass Hope to see ya around

Day 3...using lines on myself all 2 hours of the morning I have been awake......isn't it nice I can have my coffee with out a cigarette ...isn't it nice I can wake and not go outside for a cigarette....isn't it nice I do not need a cigarette after breakfast.....isn't it nice I can brush my teeth and not go out and have a cigarette right after brushing them.....I think it going to be a isn't it nice day and a stay close to here day

BIGGEST LESSON IN LIFE DONT EVER THINK IT CAN'T HAPPEN TO YOU

Congratulations Steven. Keep up the great work!

One day at a time, Kdad. You can do it again. Keep trying and don't give up.

Oh Kdad. The will is apparently there or you wouldn't be showing up. The only one in control of your life is you. You have arrived at this same fork in the road before. You also know which way you have to go. We can only hope that you choose wisely. We are rooting for you. You succeeded before and we know you can do it again. C'mon Kdad lets get this final quit going!

NOPE!!!!!!

Sounds funny to write it and say it. In all these years of smoking...sure I knew I was a smoker but the thought of addict. I never thought of that or chose not to. Being here one big day now.... I realize or acknowledge I am indeed a addict.....dangggggg

NOPE!

5 ...Last number..Goodnight Quit Train

Recognizing the addiction is a big step in quitting smoking. All of those "reasons" we smoked. That list of times we "needed" a cigarette...all null and void. We smoked because we were addicted to nicotine. We were addicted to nicotine because we smoked. Smoking was never anything more than us feeding our addiction. You have made a breakthrough here Dianne. Congratulations.

Got my second shot yesterday and so far so good. My arm's a little more sore than the first shot but that's about it. Yay!!!

Hey @Kdad..... Are you convinced ?..... Don't wait for the horror stories to come knocking ... Nothing will be able to help then... Take your seat and join the Newbies .... You want to Quit ...Deep down ...you want your Freedom .... Its here waiting for you ....

Bump for Newbies ..

@AceWhite great job . My kids were competitive swimmers and did just a fun biathlon swimming and running in a mountain town we were visiting once . To my surprise it was against adults ( they didn't specify age lol ) We threw them in for fun the last minute . The oldest boy 11 took the trophy . 2nd a policeman . I couldn't believe it ! He was behind in the mountain run and lapped everyone many times over in the pool . Training and practice and those sweet turns paid off for him lol . Grandkids and kids did mountain biking last year on some pretty wild and crazy mountain trails . They loved it . Once in the blood always in the blood . I miss my athletic days , but anyway .. today's business . Doing a ten k walk for groceries lol and back for a toast to that lol ! Warm and sunny today . So gotta get off here and go .... Our pools here everywhere are closed .. only swimming will be in the lake this summer . Beat your time man . You can do it . Whats everyone else doing today ?

So glad you found us Diane. The first week is the toughest as you get that nicotine out of your system. After that, you have to learn to redirect those thoughts of craving. I found it was easier to hang around and get to know everyone. I read as much as I could, played some games and Posted a Nope each day. There was plenty of help and encouragement here. You can do this. Always keep the cigarettes behind you and keep moving forward to freedom.

Hang in there Dianne, you have the right attitude and the right motivation to get this done. I have faith in you to have a long quit.

It IS amazing what a nicotine addict will sacrifice to ensure they always have some smokes! I remember saying to myself I'd quit once a pack hit $5.00 Obviously that didn't happen. Went way past $10/pack before I started thinking about it.

That was my hardest thing to admit to @Dianne but I think once I did realize it my quit got easier...

NOPE!

NOPE

Today Choose to be happy. Choose to be grateful For the day. Choose to look On the bright side

You don't have to Solve your whole life Overnight. And you don't have feel ashamed for where you are. All you have to focus on is one small thing you can do Today to get you closer to where You want to be. Slowly and lightly,one step at a time. You will get there

In recognition of the anniversary of "The Barilco Curse" that started April 21st 1951 after his Stanley Cup winning goal! (and if you're not a hockey nerd, you'll have to google Brailco Curse)

12, good morning!

12...Morning ....I see the chicks held firm... Ha !!!

Think that's pretty typical Dianne. We tend to think of an addict as someone huddled in the corner of an alleyway with a needle stuck in their arm, not someone like us just going about their daily routine. Realizing your own addiction to this insidious drug nicotine is an important step in fighting for your freedom. Well done Dianne

What do they do for you????? All your answers will be Lies and junkie thinking. Get into a positive frame of mind and stop the excuses.

Shouting NOPE.....Not One Puff Ever .... I Remember shouting this out loud ....I'm sure it was thousands of times a day ....

@Dianne, each day you're smoke free is one day closer to feeling better so hang in there
