Sorry I've been out of touch for a bit. Got called to do a last minute test for work out of state and working 12hr days plus data analysis. Probably won't be back till next Monday. Being away from home for first time is creating new kinds of cravings. Still hanging in there. Today marks 6 weeks.

Stay strong and hang in there Justin. 6 weeks is a great start and better and easier days are ahead. Best wishes. stay close.

Hang in there @JustinHoot99 reach out if you need to!! You've gots this. Congratulations on 6 weeks!!

Have been dealing with my share of bs in life the last couple of weeks and never thought about smoking. I had several failed quits and a friend once said 'you have no willpower'. Eventually, when I did quit, I realized it wasn't about willpower - it was about making a decision. The switch in the brain has to flip. What also helped was understanding triggers through a post by another user. If someone like me with several failed attempts and no willpower can quit, anyone can.

Nope!

I confess I didn't want to like it but I'm REALLY liking my smartphone. Not only was I able to get online using my data when our WiFi went out two days in a row but I also had a video call with my sister today. A first for both of us

NOPE

Nope!!!

I, too, am a member of the QSMB... class of 2017 SmokeBusters! That online support group is the main reason I was able to power through my quit. I was devastated when it imploded and was so lucky to find my way here so I could climb aboard the Quit Train and here I am all these years later!

@RozukiSo glad to hear you have recovered from those things. It's good to have people like you around to look to for the required endurance on the trip. I really dig that smokebusters graphic in your signature. Can't wait until i ain't afraid of no smokes myself. hahaha @jillari thought i had but i guess i didn't click one of the required buttons or something since it hasn't shown up. That is a good idea for the motivation.

Just finished watching Midnight Mass on Netflix.....

Beware leprechauns under night table boost

I was basically an out of control chainsmoker, 2-3 packs a day, and started really thinking about it when I turned 50. Figured it was now or never! Found the old QSMB (quitsmokingmessageboard, now gone) and whyquit.com and they were both enormous resources. Between those two and the Allen Carr Easyway book I was able to beat my addiction. whyquit is a great resource to learn and understand WHY nicotine has such a grip on people. Lots of reading and understanding helped me defeat it for sure, and Easyway helped a ton too. It really helped me 'flip the switch' in my mind and break free. January 29 2013 I put out the last one, blew the smoke out the window and said "THATS IT - NO MORE!" And have been free every since. I was hopelessly addicted and never thought I was going to do it, so anyone struggling with it just believe you can do it because YOU CAN! Use this board and all the other stuff and you WILL! Good luck! Jon

NOPE…

I did an extra half mile again, this evening, for a total of 5 miles today and even increased my incline again to 5.5% for the final 2 1/4 mi. Laps. Total calorie burn 675, about what I took in so far . I haven’t yet had my dinner.

Congratulations @Cristóbal I also remember you from QSMB (Quit Smoking Message Board) and you posted a lot that really helped me in the early days of my quit. Thanks for all the support you gave to so many.

Congratulations 9 years is Awesome

Way to go. That is impressive!
