This addiction is crazy, I am working on finishing my last two cigarettes' tonight and head for bed. Only to be anxiously be waiting for tomorrow when I can start trying to flush out all the nicotine in my body as fast as I can, crazy! I have learned a lot here, thanks for you all's support.

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

Welcome aboard and stick close. Keep busy and realize there will be stressful times but believe in yourself that you can handle this. No special gifts here for those of us that have made it. Just tired of the addiction and realize it for what it is. I smoked for a long time also and after the first few weeks was surprised that it was not as difficult as I imagined. Believe in yourself that you can handle this because you can if you really want it. Stay close and reach out if need be. Best wishes.

Stick close in the beginning days @overcome, we got your back This addiction is crazy but you're well prepared for it. Drink lots of water or juice to help flush it out. The nicotine takes about three days to leave your body

Congratulations on the 6 year quit Jillar and thanks for all you do. Best wishes.

Isn't it nice ...you are a Wonderful Non Smoker 👍😁

Shouting NOPE.....Not One Puff Ever .... I Remember shouting this out loud ....I'm sure it was thousands of times a day ....😁

@Dianne, each day you're smoke free is one day closer to feeling better so hang in there🤗

We are all addicts Sweetie ... We all want you to get to Freedom ....with a few bumps ,and fun along the way ....😁🐸

We have fun things here too,it keeps you busy... Play games ...laugh at the dogs and cats ... Quitting doesn't have to be all doom and gloom ,I think time passes faster when it's fun.. Don't forget our daily NOPE thread ...this is a great tool ..

These are all the tools I have been using to distract me so far - making tea, reading reading and more reading, I've rewatched Parks and Recreation as it's such a comforting thing, plus it's good to laugh hysterically and feel my lungs opening up! If I feel a craving hit I breathe in for a count of six, hold it and breathe out slowly. If that doesn't help and I'm at home I head for the shower and try to reset myself. At work I get up and walk around and shake myself off. I've also had several good cries, I doubt that's over yet. 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

Woohoo, six years quit today!!! I couldn't have done it without all the support I received, especially my first year quit. I've been fortunate to be able to be here to pay it forward and have made great friendships with people all over the world and for that I feel so grateful 😊

Thank you to everyone for all the information on this site, I have been reading/learning since early this am. Preparing to quit Monday the 4th, taken the week off work to work through what I see as the toughest part (withdrawal's). I have quit various times in the past but never made it for more than a couple years, so am still hooked after 35years. My Son gave me some words of encouragement when talking about quitting with him last week, he text me "yep, think of all the stuff you've overcome ... quitting smoking wont seem as bad after" so that is my user name (overcome). Ordered Allen Carr's book so will read that tomorrow. Again thanks to all for the info and support.

Nixter Quit Date: 6/7/15 Posted June 27, 2015 So basically what I'm figuring out is that cigarettes and nicotine are big fat liars. For all those years they kept me at their beck and call by making me afraid. I was afraid to quit because I thought I wouldn't be able to have fun without a cig. LIE. I was afraid to quit because I thought it would be too hard. LIE. I was afraid to quit because I thought every day would be like day 1. LIE. I was afraid to quit because I wouldn't be "me" without my smokes. LIE!! I am telling you, I feel more joy at social situations than I ever have!! Why? Because I can concentrate on having fun instead of worrying when I can sneak outside for a cigarette. I physically feel soooo much better already. And I'm also really proud of myself. But I have to be honest and say I'm a little pissed that I was duped for so long. Anyway, I'm so happy to be a non smoker. Thanks for being here for me!

Day 4 done. Half way there ... ONLY half way??? 😬 You know how many food places there are on streets and my over sensitive nose is smelling all the aromas from those places. Would love to have a big fat juicy burger and a shawarma ... followed by an ice cream. Maybe washed down with a cold beer. Have had thoughts of cheating ... 4 days is good, it's ok to eat a bit now. After that I can do another 4 days and still meet my goal of 8 days. Taking electrolytes so no cramps so far. Slight headache today - not too bad just a dull ache.

Get in line again sticks .....my hand will be sore 😀

💯

Oh wow, Congratulations on 6 years Jill!

NAIDOC Week starts today....so what better song for a Sunday than this .. This Archie Roach and Emma Donovan duet is a Sunday staple at our crazy house.

I used to date a girl that had a twin. People used to ask me- “how do you tell them apart?” I’d say Lisa painted her nails green, and Bob had a dick

NOPE

NOPE!

Hang in there Dianne, you have the right attitude and the right motivation to get this done. I have faith in you to have a long quit.

Might be a good idea to put the whiskey away form a little while lol.... I've seen many a good quit lost when alcohol is around ...!!!

George, This is a thread about your first days Nicotine FREE. You are still using Nicotine and keeping yourself addicted. The point here is ridding yourself of nicotine completely so you can be Free, Of getting through craves WITHOUT any nicotine at all. This is perfectly do-able and something you will need to face at some point. I encourage you to read and watch and listen to these links below so you can better understand what you may be experiencing.

High five Heather....your doing great ..what your achieving is flippin amazin .....

Two days is absolutely amazing! I hadn't gone even one full day without smoking for almost 2 decades before I quit, so I know well how every hour and day smoke free feels like (and is) a major accomplishment early on. And good for you for not using stress as a reason to cave. You're an all-star, HeatherD!
