Still here! Still got shingles and in pain … but I made 4 weeks! Super happy but yesterday weather was crappy and I just couldn’t figure out how to use all this free time up - in the past, I would just have sat outside and smoked! I think I’m going to have to find an inside hobby …. posting a little less often - but read everyday and still committed. Hope we are all doing well on the train

Well done on four weeks @Slow progress, sorry you're still feeling bad though. I hope you feel better soon. Love the ticker, look at those stats already! 😊 I have to say, you may need to change your name because you're making pretty good progress not slow at all lol 😊🤗

Happy monthasversary @Slow progress!! Sorry that you are still plagued by shingles, but it’s wonderful that you’ve stuck with your quit despite those hardships. Quitting is such a positive shift in your life, and the 4-week mark is a major milestone. Well done. Rock on!!

NOPE

NOPE

Nope!

Congratulations @jillar on 7 years,sorry I'm a little late!! Thanks for all you do on the train and the support you give.

It’s totallyyyy normal Sandi, the crazy urges, emotions, feelings…it was damn hard sometimes and I’m telling you, it’ll very soon get better and less crave-y. I do smoke a little ganj, it’s legal here too, but I waited a month or so after I quit to not mess w my mind about “smoking”. I haven’t drank though since I quit bc that was a biggg association for me. You’ll find a good outlet for u, and I’m sorry for the family stuff u have going on 🙁. We’re here for u! You’re doing GREAT gf!

Ditto to wishing I’d never started smoking! I smoked my first cigarette when I was 8. Was a regular smoker by my mid teens, and up to a pack a day by college. More than 40 years of smoking. So much money wasted, so much health sacrificed, so many relationship stressors… so much stink!! If I could visit myself as a kid I’d slap me upside the head. But all we can do today is face forward. Now matters a lot, and quitting is the best way to make the most of the time that lies ahead. So NOPE!

You know what I wish!! I Wish that I never started smoking when I was 17, and that was a very long time ago!! Back in the day I used to smoke pot, I don't smoke it anymore ,(haven't smoke it in so many years, even though it's legal in NY, I don't like it and don't like the way it makes me feel). I used to like it as a teenager, but not anymore. When I smoked pot, I smoked cigarettes because it would enhance the "high" of the marijuana. But that was years ago, and I don't smoke pot anymore!

@Sandi149 yes it's completely normal and to be expected at this early stage. As you've already noticed though they're not as bad as week one so just keep hanging in there because the only way past is through....

Hang in there and do what every you have to and get through it. The longer you don't smoke, the easier it gets.

Congratulations ..1 Month yaaa Hope you are soon on the mend 🐸
