Hey you guys, it's nearly 8 days. On Monday night I felt very triggered and the urge was strong but I rode the wave. This evening I felt stressed, irritable, angry and depressed all rolled into one. And my sleep is inconsistent. Sometimes great, sometimes terrible and my weight is up. I confess i have been eating more but ive been exercising loads too. Maybe my muscles are holding water. This is driving me crazy as I'm very weight conscious. Either way I'm not going back to smoking. I'll just need to ride it out. Don't get me wrong I'm over the moon and super pleased but my joy is gone at the moment. Hopefully it will be back soon. Hope you are all doing great. Love you all.

Hanging some new artwork in my apartment.

Lookout Liverpool! Doreen is cocked, locked, and ready to rock! Guess I jumped the gun (pun intended). Have a good one Doreen.

You have quit smoking. You are exercising. You're doing the right things. My advice: don't sweat the numbers on the scale. Good work PeachFuzz.

NOPE!!!!

Nope

Well done ...keep your eye on the prize .... When you are comfortable in your quit ....you will tackle everything else .... One day at a time ..... one thing at a time ..

So true. Smoking is not an option. Keep up the great work,, PeachFuzz. You will be glad you did.

Yea @PeachFuzz, congrats on eight days quit! Everything you're experiencing is normal and won't last forever so take it in stride because the only way past it is through..............And don't worry about any weight gain, that's for down the road when your quit is secure

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

Aww piggy...Tough .... I'm actually having my first trip to town centre in a year and a half... Armed !!!! Bag full of face masks ... sanitizer....wipes....Oh and a umbrella .... Wish me luck ....

My life fell apart more times than I care to admit but you know what? Every time it fell apart, I figured out a way to put it back together again,and even better than it was originally was. Moral of the story? Never give up on yourself

Week 1 done! That's fabulous. Job one is quitting for now. Everything else can be addressed later and here's something you will realize down the road ...... once you know you can quit smoking for good, you'll know you can do anything else you set your mind to

You're doing great, Peach Fuzz!

We even have Bakon!

9 Ssshhhhhhh... I've been hiding in plain sight hoping covid wouldn't see me.... so far so good

Remember that progress is still progress is still progress if you are thinking about giving up on something that you've been working on because you're not seeing results always remind yourself why you started be patient and continue to work towards your goal whether its bit by bit or day by day every ounce of energy that you've poured in will pay off in the end This is how I felt yesterday. So I posted it and read many times. Thought it was so fitting for the journey

I'm bored with the stay at home orders.

Left his ass

CHALLENGE when a negative thought enters your mind think three positive ones train yourself to flip the script!!!!

NOPE!

Might be a true documentary?

NOPE

It comes and goes. Today for me is no joy. I need to dig deep and find it. I know it’s there. I’m just very tired right now. I will let her shine tomorrow. I know others on here say the mental battle is a long one and is a hard fight and I get that. Today is just a pull the blanket over my head and forget the world exists kind of day. I haven’t wanted to smoke to make it better but my anxiety levels are through the roof. Not as bad as when I initially quit, but close. Y’all send me some happy thoughts and say a prayer for me. You are doing great! @PeachFuzz I remember my 8th and 9th days! Whew! Glad they are behind me. I have enjoyed following your quit and I think that you are doing very well. Keep doing what you’ve been doing and get the worst of the mental anguish out of the way. Then you can tackle all of the other stuff with a ‘you ain’t got nothing on me’ attitude because I kicked nicotine’s butt! LOL

9 Hi Dn & reci..

Pain in butt

Dont judge me

NOPE

NOPE...

Somebody get Ringo a snare drum or at the very least a tambourine. Paul has his bass. John and George each have a guitar...kinda feels like they hung Ringo out to dry on this one.

“Pay it forward” Express your quit. Your first, second, third, the sticky. Every battle, every loss, every win. Victory!!! Each and every expression on this site has impressed upon me an affirmation, a warning, guidance, and encouragement to stay on the train. I would be drowning in all kinds of anti-self mental states without the input of other passengers. I am so thankful I found this forum and that I have found my quit.

Looking for an excuse and a destination for a short road trip this weekend. We'll be going down to Florida in ten days, but I just picked up my new truck this afternoon and want to get some road miles on it. The first accessory I put in the new truck: a brand new car seat. The little gal can ride in style and comfort.
