Buckle up...there will be some bends in the track ...

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

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

Yep, all addicts indeed. You are so inspiring. Yeah let's have fun.

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

NOPE thread, posting and reading here. Eating yummy healthy foods, savoring every bite. Lots of water, not skimping on rest. Exercise. Knowing that there is so much love, non judgement, and support here on the Quit Train, makes all the difference.

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.

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.

Day 2, There great ideas in this thread and encouragement. I do not feel I can apply some of them right now....because of the bronchitis.... exercise is limited (for the moment) getting lots of sleep is out too because I am coming off the steroids and they seem not to like me and the anxiety attacks (add in the GERD)....it so rough right now.... I feel like I asking for pity ( I guess I am) I only on day 2 so for others who trying to quit cold turkey who want their health back and fighting off multiple other things on the way....I drinking lots of water and sugar free Gatorade...I pacing pacing pacing till I just stand in the kitchen and stare blankly at the universe.... then I come here and read or blankly stare at the screen....then... repeat it all again ...and each time I want that cigarette I remind myself how bad I want to breath and be healthy again and thank Jesus for keeping me safe from cigarettes' today (I must of said that 50 times yesterday) I hanging in and on that the best I can say.

Welcome Lin, congratulations on your decision to quit smoking and take back your life.

Welcome Lin! This is the place to be!! Get rid of any and all cigs you have around, throw out those ashtrays, welcome to being a non-smoker.

Its showing up @Judi and look at all that extra money already!

I honestly think I could clean my entire house with a toothbrush! Anything to stay busy. But me and the Lord are getting it done...one day at a time. NOPE! I guess I’ll just stay busy trying to get this daggone Ticker I made to show up.

When I read Take Smoking Off The Table No Matter What !!! It sank into my addict brain ... I repeated this .....alot ..... We all have to find what works best ...Way to go Deb's ...

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.

Great post !!!! Good to get your lungs working and taking in good deep breaths ....

You've overcome one of the most powerful triggers to lighting up again. A similar thing happened to me a couple of weeks ago and thankfully I came through it as you did. You've earned this:
