@LindaTotally missed this, but happy one year to you. I have been sick with strep throat, but the covid test came back negative. The steroids are helping me recover and I can only imagine how this would be if I were still smoking. Anyway, congrats again and hope you celebrated well. ❤

NOPE

Hey everyone! Just wanted to say I'm still going smoke free and all. Have to look for a new apartment today - it's stressful, of course, so I'm making sure I have enough caffeine in my system for the day :)

Nope... I'm kicking the habit

NOPE.

Just came to check on the board for a dose of strength. When the computer came on my screen saver was a three toed sloth. That is what I feel like today. Supposed to be doing a cook day but can't seem to make it off the couch. Hope everyone is enjoying their day!

Welcome!! Great news is feeling better is so close. Stick with your quit. See ya around-

Congratulations! Yahoooo! That first year benchmark is spectacular!

@maybaby66Hi there! I am an October 66 baby! So look at us @Gus! Welcome and it does get easier. Like above, there is always someone around on the site and we like nothing better than helping someone get free. It has the added benefit of helping us stay free! Look forward to getting to know you.

Thank you all for the support. Life and its challenges don't stop just because we quit. And as I try to remind myself, its a (f-cking) process not an event! But we do got this because it is a WE thing. @jillarHeaded over to the one year pledge! I NOPE daily but I am gonna just go ahead and nail this a-hole down. Potty mouth tonight-hope I do not offend.

@KEL You are doing great!!! I know how hard it was for me!! I guess I'm a slow learner lol You have the determination to do this!! Hang in there and beat the nicotine monster!!! You got this!! I know what you mean about the triggers, smoking was always my go to when I had a problem. But we have to learn to deal other ways because smoking did not make the problem go away.

Congratulations on 1 YEAR! Awesome!

Congratulations on your first year quit, Linda!!! I know this was so rough, but you pressed on, and here you are! The rest should be easier! Stay vigilant, but definitely reward yourself with anything except nicotine!!!!! Keep up the great work!

Sorry for your loss @KEL It would be a great honor in memory of her to dedicate your 100 day quit to her tomorrow. I know that every time I hear of someone I know or knew passing away from a smoking related illness it strengthens my resolve to never light up again.

@Steven Drojensky Thank you!! Hope you get feeling better soon and that is wasn't covid.

Sorry to hear about your plumbing issues. I had those problems too. I disconnected the ice maker in the fridge and installed a pump type thing to deal with condensation from the air conditioner. I have been thinking of get the hot water heater replaced. I had to have it replaced 10 years ago. The weird thing was my husband had just passed. I lost his Mom 8 days later. I got up to a floor full of water in my bed/bathroom/ closet the morning of her service. Still stranger, when my FIL passed some15 years earlier the hot water heater in her home flooded the morning of his service. Now I have this fear of hot water heaters. I am afraid that if it blows I will lose another person I love. Am I crazy for constant worry about the hot water heater? The other thing on my mind tonight is I have a friend who is having some testing tomorrow. If you could keep this person in your prayers I would really appreciate it.

Way to get it done Katgirl. Congratulations on the 8 months smoke free.

That was quite a party @Linda!

NOPE…

@KEL Sorry for your loss!❤❤ Yes it is, stay strong!!

Managed to eat reasonably yesterday without getting an upset tummy - all the previous disasters have helped get the right sequence of how to break a long fast. While the act of eating is very pleasant, the full belly feeling is not. You're almost waiting to feel that empty belly again. With a few months of OMAD, I feel the body becomes more efficient at processing food as well as dealing with lack of food during long fasts. For the next few months, it's maintenance mode which is ... 5 meals + 2 fast days a week.

Congratulations Linda, I am very proud of you because I know how hard you worked for this quit. So, now let's let loose and party on the Lido deck. Great job and make sure reward yourself for this momentous occasion.

@LindaNot to put you on the spot but do you feel like sharing the difference a year makes? I know it hasn't been easy but its such an amazing thing you did and inspiring to us all....

@JH63 Thank you!! You can do this too!! Don't quit trying.

And the fun continues ...Boo and I take to the dancefloor

Ok so edit it or not @Gus and @Linda? LOL

@Gus Lol I did not take that personal, I thought it was funny and actually kinda fitting!! Don't worry about it
