NOPE!

NOPE! Not today.

NOPE!!!!!!

@jillar better, thanks. I'm only getting a few of these overwhelming cravings each day but when I do...just wow. I'm going to keep fighting through them.

I am having a strong one right now and feel like these cravings make me start thinking irrationally so rather than doing something stupid like going out and buying a pack, here I am riding it out.....whew!!!

NOPE!

Every time you want a cigarette but choose to abstain, you are reprogramming your brain. Trust the process Momma Bear. You're doing great.

Going back to the pizza thing. In the kitchen making pizza dough. All that talk made me have a crave but it's for pizza not for a cig. K

Day 109 Frustrated this last week. Had a problem Friday that just kept compounding more and more problems. Had a moment (a sarcastic one) where I thought gee I so glad I do not smoke now!!...followed by staring blankly into space. I really wanted a cig...there have been a few times this week I have really wanted one.... but I rather stubborn by nature and I not willing to give up 109 days for something that is only going to make me feel less than proud of myself and will do nothing for me...nothing good...so I going to keep choosing this quit and adding more days to it.....admittedly some days more challenging than others and we have a choice

Momma Bear, When you have just started your quit the cravings will be there. You are more than likely feeling them for other things,(stress is my big trigger) it is our brain telling us something that is not true. We don't need to smoke, it is the memory of smoking that tricks us into feeling that way. That it will somehow make us feel better about the challenges we all face daily. I have not smoked in 5 weeks which I thought I could never do but I have done it. I just keep telling myself that new stuff will take over that space in my mind. Just breathe, find something to distract you for a few minutes, it will pass, I learned that here and it does work, K

Great choice coming here ...there is always someone to help you through the tough times .. Just think how much you would hate yourself if you took that one puff.. !owe your fabulous Quit ....No ....you win your battles u til the war is over .. Keep busy Mommabear ...it will pass ...

Nope!

Hi and Welcome, It is hard but will get easier, I promise. I am only at five weeks so I still am struggling. Your handle is Momma Bear, Momma's protect their young, you and I are both doing that by making the commitment to quit. It may be hard but we will do it! These people will help you I promise! When I feel the crave I just get on here and read until I am somewhere else, that feeling goes away. K

I did skateboard as a teenager, wouldn’t call it an addiction. I didn’t wake up in the night and have the urge to grab my skateboard and hit the streets or have to sneak out during a TV commercial to do a few spin kicks on my board.

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

NOPE! ❤❤

NOPE!

NOPE Wow, I just looked at the number of cigarettes I didn't smoke and the amount of money I saved. Incredible. And that's with less than a year and a half of being quit.

I notice I don’t get winded, as easily, and my boyfriend has stopped nagging me about smoking. So now, I nag him when he lights a bowl. Effing Californians- bunch of potheads!

Those red, dry eyes that I used to blame on a combination of allergies and contact lenses cleared right up after I quit smoking. Five years quit now, and I no longer have issues with my eyes.

Nope... Just say no!!!

This is a good thread...bump! Wheezing at night that I blamed on allergies....it was not allergies!

Good for you, Dianne! I am right behind you. This is a case where being stubborn works in our favor. I know, because, that is when I accomplish my goals. I never give up, if it is something I want badly enough. Keep up the good work. You only need focus on one day at a time…

Here

I am here! Maybe someday I will learn how to add something cute. K

Good on you for posting @IamMommaBear, how are you feeling now?

All together now !!!!

Newbies .... Tell us if you have noticed a change in yourself.... I can remember a few weeks in ....Smelling newly mowed grass... All of a sudden it was very strong .... I stood and took deep breaths in ....lovely aroma ... What have you noticed ????

That shit stinks

@Kate18, fishing is so relaxing. I like to surf fish, or fish off a dock. No boats for me. It has an instant calming effect on the psyche. I recommend it to anyone who needs to turn down the noise in their mind…..

No kidding! I remember asking my niece and nephew if I smelled that bad when I smoked. Of course they said I didn't but I must have

I noticed that smokers stink- damn I used to stink like that?????

I noticed my phlegmy cough was gone after a couple days!

I knew the song from various internet memes. Then I watched the video. Talk about your guilty pleasures...hey now!

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

Nope... keeping the quit!!

I just had a very vivid dream that woke me up. I was pregnant with our third child, and my husband was extremely upset about having another mouth to feed. He said he had to go out, and I was screaming at him, like a shrew. I was visibly pregnant, and so upset. For some reason, my sister was there, and I was telling her, “I don’t know why I acted like that! What’s wrong with me?” At that point, I woke up. It was so real. How weird. That third baby we shared is now 35, and about to become a first time Dad. My ex-husband, the focus of the dream, never liked being a Dad, so the dream was loosely based on fact. My sister was very supportive during my marital struggles, so it makes sense she was there. I divorced that guy 23 years ago, so why am I still dreaming about him? It was a lifetime ago. I agree that life has gone by way too fast. Let’s make the most of the time we have left.

Easy exercises done

Sex going slow

NOPE

NOPE!!!!!!
