I told my therapist I used to smoke to have an excuse to be alone. I'm very introverted and my "social batteries" are very limited. I quit smoking years ago. I don't usually think about smoking. I forgot about it. It's just a silly thing I used to do and won't do anymore. Then I came back to my hometown for an important family reunion. A lot of distant cousins are coming over, there are a lot of phone calls and everyone is coming over. I have to cook for a lot of people today. ... Oh geez, I can't believe I want a smoke so bad. So weird to feel like this again. I won't smoke, of course. Just... It's frustrating. Remember to respect yourself, your time, your boundaries. Eat when hungry, sleep when tired, take your time. Understand your triggers and get some chocolate. Cravings go away eventually.

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

NOPE!!!!!!

I have 3 plushies, they are not stuffed but living, breathing animals that fill my life with joy. They are happy that Mom quit smoking, the little ones get more lap time, the big one gets more brushing time. K

It's been 19 months since I quit nicotine. Wow! I feel great! Hardly ever have any craves....I guess they aren't even cravings but rather 2- second blips of nostalgia when I've had a few beers, followed by the thought that I am so happy to have finally quit for good! I absolutely love the freedom of not having to be outside in the elements just to have a smoke. I simple cherish the reality that I DO NOT HAVE TO smoke! Ah what a blessing! Gosh, quitting was hard! Doing it cold turkey was a MF, but it got me off the addiction quickly. The low-level depression that happened from months 4 to 9 was annoying, but I stuck it out. 9 months and then I was truly good, both physically and emotionally. All said, it was a little hell for 14 days, then a process for a few months, then a steady trudge uphill for the last 5 months. In retrospect, I am certain that the nine months of quitting nicotine work I put in are not only sooo worth it, it turns out it is much less work than maintaining my nicotine addiction for another 30 years. Good riddance!

I’m so glad you feel good about having quit. However, remain vigilant. Don’t get complacent. I lost a six year quit over a bad romance. When you least expect it, you can get thrown off your game. Just guard your quit fiercely.

Oops! My bad!! English is not my first language and I had to teach myself, so I still get things wrong sometimes I forgot stuffed animals are "plushies" but a single stuffed animal would probably be a "plushy" Thanks for reminding me of that! I hope it wasn't too confusing. I still strongly recommend everyone should get some soft plushies and stuffed animals! Nowadays I swear they are much softer than they were decades ago

I just found the weirdest coping mechanism. Plushies. Specially the very squishy ones with weird silly japanese kawaii designs. Yes, I'm a 30 year old woman with a permanent frown and I'm also hugging a pink blob.

Probably never. I'm pretty sure most long-time smokers and ex-smokers will agree that you'll probably never be ready to quit smoking, until something terrible happens to you or someone you love. If you are new to smoking (or vaping, chewing, whatever), or haven't yet smoked for 20 or 30 years, just go ahead and quit now. Don't wait until you are ready, as that may be too late. Be ready to invest in your future health NOW. It's your future health you will save if you stop smoking now. When you are older, and no longer burdened by the emotional heartache of "growing up", you will be more concerned about preserving your health. You will be so blessed, and so grateful to your younger self, for having stopped smoking before you got sick. You will never be ready to quit smoking, but you can always be ready to make an investment in yourself, and your future, and your future health. Your health is your greatest asset. Preserve it and you keep the gold. Invest in yourself by stopping smoking now. Your future self will thank you!

Quick, call him before he runs out on the bill

Ok, lets get Bill to pay and we can call him on the new phone

If I give you the free one will you pay the monthly bill?

Congrats on reaching the 3 month milestone, @Katgirl! Reward yourself and KTQ!

It's good to see you ...well done on a wonderful quit ..... All it is is a fleeting thought ....as long you didn't act on it .... Remember it wouldn't alter your day one iota ....

Good to see you @justanotherme,Sorry you're having a crave caused by your family reunion. I'm guessing this is a first for you to get past. Luckily at four years quit (congratulations on that!) its easily dismissed and acknowledged for what it is. Try to have a great time and we'll be here if you need us

Well I never knew that….something else to play with

Well done Katgirl........3 months is wonderful!!

En garde! Yes! Thank you!

Love this @Angeleek, I remember how hard a time you had in the beginning. I'm thrilled you're feeling so much better now

Woohoo great going Katgirl!!! Congratulations on 3 months quit! The worst is behind you! Just keep going. You won't hardly ever think of smoking before long. Reward yourself and keep it up!
