Happy New Year Quit Train Gang! Just thought I'd post a quickie while I still can! I keep losing access to my account for months at a time for reasons I don't know of, which is why I don't come here often anymore LOL. Well Jan. 17 was year 3 cigarette and nicotine free for me. Yippee! And close to $5,000 saved to boot, woohoo! Congratulations to all you quitter-winners whose anniversaries I've seen roll by but I couldn't respond because my account was locked. Being active in the forum was so helpful for me in the first year of quitting. Now in year 3, I see how dedicated the regulars are in helping newbies go through their quits. Really a great group! Well, Happy 2023 and may it be an awesome one after the past 3 years of junk on junk. Thanks also for the condolences.

Have been busy busy getting ready for returning to work. I was off due to a family event in early December. Today, I am having more desire to smoke than I have since I quit. Likely due to the Saturday morning cleaning routine. I used to have between tasks smoke breaks. I am only half way through the cleaning (after being up 4 hours! - usually done in around 2 hours) and melting down. Took a QT break and here I am. Don't seem to be finding relief yet, nor are my floors getting any nearer to being livable...LOL. Preserving my quit is my priority for awhile and I am gifted (?) with many opportunities to do what I need to in any moment to stay smoke free. Still concerned about being out in regular event life and handling being frustrated. Jillar, thanks for the S.O.S. reminder. Need to figure out how to get on QT from my phone. I am wondering how more people aren't aware or interested in the support offered here for quitting. Surprised that more folks haven't been here since the start of the year. Hoping the nicotine addicted find their ways to BEing FREE sooner than later. Thanks to all the QT people for all you offer, for showing up and for sharing the information, humor and many many many ways to BE FREE.

Hey Darcy! I don't come here much anymore after losing access to my account more times than I can count haha but really good to see you got right back on your quit after falling off. Great job, and keep up the awesome work minute by minute! Most of us relapse at least once when quitting. Never beat yourself up for relapsing, just analyze why it happened and get a strategy to prevent that type of 'reason' from 'relapsing you' again. One day you will have put all the 'reasons' to bed and be done with relapsing for good, and that day may already be upon you! Woohoo! Believe that you are stronger than the addiction, because you truly are! Keep winning every battle to steadily build up your confidence, and watch the days, weeks and months worth of breath and money saved just keep piling up! Congrats, Darcy, on getting right back on the horse and knowing that you will prevail!

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

NOPE!

Hang in there @darcy you are worth it!

Quitting is a journey Darcey...with a lot of bends along the track... Keep buckled in and ride them out ...every day is taking you nearer to Freedom ...

Sorry you're having a hard day @darcy, unfortunately it's to be expected at this stage of your quit. It will get better though with each day and each trigger you get past. It was promised to me and I'm promising it to you About getting on with your smartphone, I just got my first smartphone last year and found that all I had to do was go to QT and in the settings of my browser there is an option to add to my home screen, now I have a pretty QT icon that gets me one click to get here

Yay Angeleek! Happy dancing for you! Freedom from nicotine is a huge accomplishment and gift. Rock on.

Congratulations on your 3 year quit!!!

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

I can relate to your association between housework / house projects and smoking, @darcy. I always used smoke breaks to punctuate projects, take breaks when I was frustrated, and celebrate tough jobs completed. It took a while to find different rhythms and rituals. Diet root beer on ice is my latest "tough task completed" or "annoyed with somebody/something at work" tool. You will find your own. As you head back to work, definitely have a number of things in your Quit Kit, since work often presents a lot of triggers. There will be tough days - it's not a linear process. But the gifts of quitting start to add up pretty fast (including the pride in earning your freedom). You CAN do this.
