Congratulations @Gus on another year quit! And thank you for sticking around with your awesome support. I hope you have a GREAT day!

Yaaay for you, Gus!!!! We're all excited to celebrate the big 2! Congratulations on 2 years smoke-free, and what a kind, supportive mentor to all you've been ever since you arrived!

NOPE!

The very best of luck to you, toc! I’m a newbie and trying my best to ride this train! The brain/psychological part of this whole thing is what gets me the most, how we have to fight our own brain for what’s right. I don’t want to be a slave to this piece of paper and leaves. I saw first hand what it did to my amazing daddy, my uncle….I want to break the chain. Sure the thoughts come of “wouldn’t it be nice” but I breathe and breathe until I blow ‘em down - one hr, min, or sec at a time. Ok who’s making me talk like this? Lol I sound like a non smoker

Wow !!! Gus another year already Huge Congratulations. Thank you for helping those who have followed you .

Wow!!! Amazing, @Gus!!!! Way to go, very proud and envious!!

Been on here in the past. Been on here as a smoker and as a non smoker. I started with the ciggies last year fully again after trying to be a social smoker for 5 years. I was that social smoker who didn't smoke the rest of the week. It doesn't work. You are either full in on a quit or you haven't beat the habit. Soon enough the social smoking had ventured into the rest of the week and I was fully smoking again. You're either all on with the quit or not at all. I'm ready for all in. I'm full on focused that this is the time I will fully quit. I hardly go out socially much anymore but even if I do I'm sure/certain I will not want to go down that path again. The time has come, I've been down this path before. I know what the 1st few weeks will be like. The brain triggering at every trigger point. Up in the morning with a cuppa, the brain sends the signal of how you used to have a ciggie. Just home from work, the brain sends the signal of how you relaxed with a ciggie. These are all things that will be batted away again until the thoughts go completely. Wish me luck if you want but I don't believe I'll need it this time. This is the time I finally beat it and regain my life. Will be in and out of here over the next few weeks, months to document my progress.

Hi, @tocevoD. Glad to hear of your fresh resolve. Being an “occasional” smoker never worked for me, either… that’s just a bogus story that addicts spin to try and delude ourselves and others. Good on you for unmasking it. Stick close to the Train for positive reinforcement. Looking forward to having you around!

@tocevoD, I'd like to remind you of your post from August of 2022 where you stated that the next day would be the day to quit once and for all: I remind you of this to help you realize that maybe just checking in to document your progress is not enough to insure your forever quit. If nothing else maybe come on to NOPE for the day to reaffirm your commitment to not smoke.

Congratulations on 2 years smoke free, Gus, and thanks for all the support you continue to provide to others. I hope you celebrate big today.

Good to see you back on the Train . No luck needed ..you can do it .. Same rule !!! Never stick anything in your mouth and set fire to it ..

Congratulations Overcome, I’m sorry I’m so late in posting. I hope you had a wonderful dinner with your son I’ll be where you are one day and it’ll be easier to get there following folk like you, so thank you

1. Paper the walls...duh

Hey Brioski, Heck yes, use the JAC (Jillar's air cigarette) it actually heals your body with air, clean fresh unpolluted air. Glad the crave passed and you're still seated. The screw it all feelings are tough. ...and staying here posting, reading and repeating are a fabulous way to get to the other side remaining free. You quit because you dont want to smoke. Addiction is a liar, hypocrite and thief. Stay free. Write Johnny's taglines down on a few sticky notes and put them where you will read them should you be on the road to get cigarettes....wrap your credt card in one, post one on your dashboard, etc.

@Brioski, this may help...

wish it was Friday!!!!!!!

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

@Brioski “Ok who’s making me talk like this? Lol I sound like a non smoker” LOL This ^ I LOVE IT! You are going to be okay. @tocevoD Welcome! It’s great to see you back and ready to throw the cigarettes out for good this time. It will do you good to stay on this site as much as possible in the beginning. We are all here to help and would love to see you succeed!

congrats on the 2nd anniversary of your quit @Gus so happy to see you reach those milestones. I hope you had a wonderful day and may I always be 5 months behind you.

Thanks everyone! You make me feel really great. I clued a few of my family members to the fact that it was my 2nd year anniversary of being smoke free and the responses were not so encouraging, celebratory, or supportive. A couple of them were my biggest naggers about needing to quit to begin with. Good thing I didn’t quit for ‘them’ or they would’ve driven me back to smoking already. LOL So since I quit for ‘me’, I just celebrated all by myself. I am so very thankful for the congratulatory posts y’all’ve sent to me. You guys are the best!
