NOPE!

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

NOPE…

NOPE!

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

Most of what we encounter when we Quit is usually temporary.... Our bodies are going through massive changes ... Jillar has given you some good advice ... Hope it rights itself soon ....and Well done .

Hi Loren, unfortunately that's a part of a lot of new quitters journey and totally normal. You can try an OTC stool softener. And for bloating maybe something like GASX? And as far as how long it lasts, that too is totally different for each person. Hang in there, it won't always be like this. You're doing great!

NOPE!

THANKS FOR REPOSTING @jillar!

Huge congratulations on the first year of forever!!!!

Yes, tomorrow is fish day. I didn't forget!

Thanks, @jillar. I needed this.

A little late.. But it's time to see who is still in thier seat on the Quit Train !!! Of course the Toad is still on board

Congratulations, @DenaliBlues!!! The months are adding up.....keep up the great work!!!

We call it the Loo.!!!!!......The Thunderbox ....Really..... LOL.....

2. Make a pav. PAVLOVA - Lovely Aussie dessert the kiwi's try to say they invented...it can be dressed with fruit or peppermint crisp.

Day 3 of State Softball Masters Championships.... sitting in my oodie with 2 different tens machines on different body parts glad we didn't make a meddle game.

Thanks folks. I am still smoke free and rarely even think about smoking. However... While paying for gasoline at the local service station (the other day) I happened to glance over at my old friends behind the counter. The smokes were selling for $10.78 / pack. I believe that would be 8.78 pound sterling or 10.28 in Euros. HOLY CRAPOLA BATMAN! My smoking habit would be costing me north of $300+/month in today's economy. There are cheaper ways of committing suicide. At least back in 1987 I was only spending 70 cents for a pack at the local commissary. Even if I wanted to, I don't think I could afford blowing that much on a habit. We do not exist to smoke. Live, love, laugh, cry, travel, volunteer, protest, but don't smoke. Smoking is pissing away your time on this planet. Your life deserves better then that.

G’day ……NOPE…….

Nope!!!

I’m still on the train!

Present

i'm here

I'm here!

Keep up the good work! I celebrated a year in May! Before you know it, you will have a year, but just take it a day at a time. Here’s hoping you will have a positive influence on your wife, too. Kat

Been to see the new Top Gun today....brilliant ...better than the first .... Got to say ...Tom Cruise is wearing well...he doesn't look mangled with surgery ....

Well done @Steven Drojensky! Weren’t you gonna celebrate with some sushi?! Looks like a great party up there on the lido deck!

Thank you everyone. You were all a tremendous support to me. Feels real good to not smell of smoke anymore.

Congratulations on 1 year smoke free, @Steven Drojensky Celebrate big today, this is awesome!

Great job Steven. Congratulations on reaching your one-year anniversary.

WooHoo.... Congratulations Steven you made it to the Lido Deck ....we are so proud of you ... Hope you are going to reward yourself well.... Let the party begin !!!!

nice job @Steven Drojensky Congratulations

WooHoo @Steven Drojensky! You made it to the Lido Deck!!! Congratulations!

Congrats, @Steven Drojensky! Reaching the one year milestone is just fabulous!! Reward yourself and KTQ!

I do count them as a vegetable serving! LOL

Aren't Onion Rings really just vegetable donuts therefore considered a healthy snack?

This too shall pass...but it might take a little while. Ridding myself of the instinct to "reward" myself with a cigarette for a completed job was the last hump I got over in my quit. Eventually, I rewired my brain with a combination of repetition and time. Welcome aboard Engravosaurus. Congratulations on putting the pipe down. I've said it before and I'll say it again, time spent stacking BBs or nailing Jell-O to the wall is preferable to smoking.

thanks all Could just try the drugs mentioned up top or see an ENT doc and maybe a pulmonary doc or all of the above what's to lose? other issue is whenever I sit down at computer OR finish a signifiant task I think "it's pipe/caffeine time" to deal with this am trying drinks with serious distinctive flavor (lemonade, cranberry juice) and eating peanuts why peanuts? pipe smoking is serious hand work, fill tamp light tamp relight scrape bowl etc and peanuts is hand work, crack in the right direction, fish out the nuts, get all the parts in your mouth without dropping any, clean up the mess, etc probably will request some peanuts in my coffin will report on the doc outcomes in due time
