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

I am here. But seriously you all really needed to send a helicopter also!!!!!

We are on a train !

I did a deep dive into health and fitness after I quit. If I had it to do over again, I wouldn't change a thing. Reading books about strength training and nutrition occupied my mind. The exercise helped calm me down when I was craving a smoke. The new commitment to health and fitness was antithetical to the addiction I was leaving behind; that really helped solidify my quit. I traded a deadly addiction for a healthy addiction. No regrets.

I'm here!

NOPE…

OMG, I can't believe it has been 3 years. The struggle to quit seemed like it was yesterday. I am out enjoying life and spending that extra money that has accumulated. My husband has me camping in the wild. The internet is very limited. I will be back in a few days cheering on all those new quitters. You can take control of your life and live it smoke free. I never thought I could give up smoking but here I am 3 years smoke free! Thanks so much for all the congrats.

Dusty Hill passed away last week. Fifty years driving the rhythm section for ZZ top and he played Hank Hill's cousin on King of the Hill. Dusty had a damn good run.

Good job Linda. I remember your early days here. You struggled but continued to soldier on. And look at you now, smoke-free for three years. Congratulations.

I sorry Jillar I hope your family recovers soon and fully! My brother works at a clinic and they seeing a huge rise in cases among both the vaccinated and non-vaccinated. I wish this would go away!

NOPE…

Ever young elf

She could run out and buy Christmas present for the next 10 years, nothing huge a picture of her and the daughters, a letter a video, so that would include her in their lives for ten years to come. I am so sorry, she asked you, apologies

@Linda, she could write letters to be given to her girls on their big events. Like graduation or getting married or even a biggie birthday maybe?

Thank you jillar!

Welcome aboard mommabear and congratulations on taking back your freedom! The first month or so is definitely the hardest but once past them you'll never have to do them again! What helped me in the first few months was sucking on sweets, drinking lots of fluids to help the body flush out those poisons. Listening to my body. If it was hungry, I ate. Tired, I slept etc. Your body is already working like crazy to clean up the gunk so give it what it needs. Mine also craved sweets. I was stuck on soft peppermint puffs my whole first year quit lol. But the very best aide I found was being on a forum with others who knew exactly what I was going through at any given time. You will find that here with us. We have quitters in all phases of quitting and we are open worldwide, 24/7 I suggest to check out all the various forums and get yourself acquainted with the place and again great decision to quit

Rough day but good! Spent the day with my friend who is sick today. Had some conversations that were hard . She wanted to talk about what she would like with her funeral. She and her husband had that talk last night about it. She was asking my thoughts about leaving something special for her 3 daughters. If I had any ideas, wow I held it together and I found It amazing and how hard that would be for her. I don't know if I could be that calm If I was her. She is truly an amazing person.

A ride done

Sending love and positive vibes Sweetheart to your family ... hoping they get well and no long symptoms........ I hate this virus with a passion ❤❤

I not doing it for the sake of doing it (though to be honest I have so many flare ups lately I am honestly thinking of just fasting 2 days a week from here on out) the 2-3 days probably feel easier to me then someone just doing it because I am sick and do not feel like eating to begin with. I have not tried the bone broth yet, I too hear good things of it. Usually I just do regular broth but with this last flare broth taste horrible. I mean really horrible along with a number of other things. So this last time I just stuck with water (which not ideal) and slowly did soft low fiber foods stuff like soda crackers. chicken noodle soup, mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs ect you can buy bone broth in the stores but like I said I have not tried it yet.

I already thought of that. However, the treadmill comes with a free year of Ifit, which will give me access to numerous programs, led by personal trainers, where the program controls both speed and incline,on my machine, as I walk or hike various virtual trails, throughout the world. Can’t wait to try that. I agree, though, that, sometimes I should go outside. Currently, I have a 100 yard course mapped out on my very long driveway. I power walk it for 30 minutes twice a day.

WTG, @Mee! You have obviously got this….

NOPE!

NOPE

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

Nope... Not today!!!

Well, no triathlon in my future, but I did get two 20 lap/ 25 minute each power walks in yesterday. It can get really hot here, in Summer, so I ordered a NordicTrack treadmill. It will be here Thursday. I also am going to go to Dick’s and get a set of dumbells. I may as well look good, as I lose weight, not that I look bad. But how cool would it be to be an old lady with a fabulous body?
