@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.

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

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.

Thanks everyone!!

@Boo, I have never read the books of Larry McMurtry. I have been a big watcher of his movies thru my husband and our best friend. I will admit that I am in love with Gus McCrea and Woodrow Call. My husband and our best friend have now passed. I have their ashes here with me. I have to make a decision on what to do at some point I need to spread their ashes. I live about 20 minutes away from Lonesome Dove Road. We travelled the road often as teenagers. I think that might be the most poetic place to have my son spread all of out ashes once I pass.

That was quite a party @Linda!

@LindaThanks for the encouragement. Learned my former sister in law died a few days ago. She had been ill for a number of years with lung cancer. I haven't seen her in about 8 years and but know she suffered greatly. I trust she is at peace now but its another message from the Universe for all of us to stay the course.

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....

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

@Linda that yes bitch meme was a total error! I had selected the other one first and it wasn’t going through, so I got aggravated and my finger hit the bitch one! It looked like that wasn’t going through either. Whew! I was happy about that! So, I selected my original choice again and thought all was well. But noooo! Of course not! LOL Anyway, I don’t know how to fix it. Maybe @Doreensfree or @jillar can fix it?
