Day 30. Wife is still out of town. For some reason, just knowing she will smell check me whenever I return home makes it easier to avoid cravings. Look forward to her return tomorrow. But I'm still enjoying smoke free days.

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

NOPE, NOT NOW…NOT EVER!

NOPE

NOPE!

Huge congrats on 8 days. I'm at 30 days. For me, the weeks after week 1 have been a turmoil of ups and downs. It's gotten easier to manage after this period, but the cravings or at least "reminders popping up in my head" are still there. So many things I need to relearn to do w/o a smoke. But it can be done and you can get a lot of support here. There are a lot of long term quitters here who will help. Post as often as you like. Often times I will come here and just type something up just to distract myself. It really helps.

NOPE!

Corned beef is a no from me Cabbage I can eat, not my first choice veg, but that one is doable. Welcome to the forum and we'll done on your 8 days smoke free!!

I like corned beef. The cabbage...not so much. The German potato salad there is really good as well. And there's primo trout fishing within walking distance of the place. I'm a simple man. Don't really need much more than that to have a good day.

I’ve never heard it referred to as that and I’ve been going there at least once a year my whole life. That’s crazy. And anyway, the devil did come down to Georgia, but Johnny fiddled him a new one. So no hell ain’t here.

I love corned beef and cabbage

Yummm corned beef n cabbage Is this an official poll? Welcome to the train glad to have you on board!!!

Welcome aboard the Train, @Brioski! So glad you've joined us. Way to go on being 8 days into your quit. It’s impressive that you can actually form complete sentences at this stage. 8 days into my own quit I was capable only of monosyllabic grunting noises and pathetic whimpers. You are doing great! And things will get even better. Count on it. For me, 40+ years of addiction are not pivoting overnight, but there are more gifts to quitting than I thought. I don’t stink. (Well, as long as I occasionally bathe.) I breathe easier. I’m not held hostage to the nicotine fix. My partner is really happy. No more yellow stains on my fingers. And this forum is a great resource for info, real-world experience and supportive distractions. Good for you for embracing this opportunity for yourself and your loved ones. P.S. I would pay big money to not have to go anywhere near corned beef and cabbage. Silver lining = more for others.

Thank you so much, guys. Not too familiar with how to work site so may have questions. Esp w games I’m afraid I’ll play them wrong lolol. Thank u all for being supportive. Feels good. It’s cool too to see your rectangle tickers/signatures at the bottom of your posts, never saw them before. think I’m gonna go for a walk down and up my driveway. This time of day, as well as morning, cooking, and driving, seem to gnaw at me. Just put two corned beefs in the oven, more for fiance bc he loves it (I’ve been too sick since st pattys day to cook it), I can definitely leave it, blegh. May make some pesto for myself to have instead. Anyone either love or despise corned beef and cabbage? thanks again for warm welcome

Yes, the potato salad is really good. Also, love the fishing too. I guess I’m a pretty simple gal!

Ohhh! This puts me in mind of the Reuben sandwich Cafe International restaurant right on the river in Helen Ga serves. On a cool fall day after hiking some trails and a spot of shopping? Perfect!!!

Welcome @Brioski! 8 days quit is amazing! I’ve just recently reached the Lido Deck and I’m telling you this is completely doable! Stay focused! Stay quit! I’m thankful that you have support on hand, but remember there is almost always someone here and if absolutely necessary send out an SOS!!! I’m thankful that you have decided to join us!

welcome to the train @Brioski it's awesome that you quit. getting that first week behind you is a huge win.

I'm not a fan off either but everyone is different. I believe you can get your own ticker at the link below. If it doesn't work, @jillar one of our moderators can help you with this. https://www.quittrain.com/tickers/ EDIT: Looks like Jillar beat me to the instructions in the post above mine.

I love corned beef and cabbage but its probably because its only once a year Lol. You mentioned our tickers in our signatures. They are a great way to watch all the time, money saved and cigarettes NOT smoked add up. I LOVED logging in and seeing mine that whole first year. Here's the link to make yours if you want one too: https://www.quittrain.com/tickers/ And if you need directions on how to put it in your signature you can find them here: https://www.quittrain.com/topic/15042-creating-a-ticker/

Day 29. Join me in a smoke free day.

And one that has become my favorite Johnny Cash train song...
