NOPE!!!!!!

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

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 ....

Nope

NOPE

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!

NOPE!

NOPE!!!!!!

Might be a true documentary?

NOPE

Hope tomorrow's better for you @Gus:

The more I wonder around this site , the more I like it . It's a perfect fit for a successful quit . So many good tools to access for help , education and receive support . So many areas to distract oneself from smoking or to learn from others as well as give back . So many positive and real posts from ex smokers with new and older quits to identify with . No sugar coating but completely honest testimonies , and an understanding between us , that is more than a non smoker may ever or could ever understand . I love the way it's sectioned off where you can talk about your quit in one area , educate yourself about addiction in another or get out of the smoking fixation and into just having fun with fellow members to distract yourself from smoking and get to know them . There is something for everyone . There is a place to pledge if one finds that helpful , a notary celebrations section to see your own progress and others progress ; a games section and educational videos ... well the list just goes on and on . Love it ! If you are not a computer savvy person like me , in my opinion it's easy to understand and not too hard . You can use what you need to start a quit confidently and comfortably or grow and try to learn more . What aides besides NRT aides things did you look for or are you looking for to help you be a successful quitter ? Everyone is different . I came to a quit site to quit smoking . I did not have success in groups . We are all different . Testimonies helped me a lot in the beginning and were exactly what I was looking for . They helped me to see the journey ahead would get better and that I was not alone when my days were rough . Newcomers and elders testimonies all made a difference in me keeping my quit . Games ha ... lived in games .. can't tell you how many hours I spent in games day and night . Any humour I could find I wanted and needed desperately in the beginning and it so helped . So to all you funny people out there thank you . Wish I had your gift but I'm grateful for yours . That's about all I did the first year .. my next years I really got into the education part of addiction , researching addiction , celebrations , giving back and pledging . I wished I'd done them all in the beginning in hindsight , but perhaps that was not meant to be for my success to shape . Again each of us will be different and there is no right or wrong . I stay now because I need to for my quit and want to stay for others quits . I am also getting to know people here and again who would have thought but because of covid we once again have something in common . We are in this together and together we will get through this . One day at a time . Signed Abby

9 Hi Dn & reci..

ok one more from the famous Wheeler Walker

4- wrap around a stack of books to carry easier

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.

Phew !!!!. I would rather talk about your impressive rod ....than a tin full of maggots !!!!

Did I mention that I have a nine-foot rod? I know how to get Doreen interested in fishing talk.

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.

Way to go, Peach Fuzz!

I know a guy named Alvin. Has a bad attitude and a punchable face. He's pretty easy to hate.

Wondering if horses say "stop peopleing around"?
