Thanks! Day 3 done. Not easy but certainly doable. Proud for not giving in. More air already, no stench. Glad I came back here.

You are breaking free of a terrible bondage. It may feel sad and panicky now, like you are losing a limb. But that is an illusion, just your addiction putting up a fuss. The pain is temporary, it will pass, sweet freedom awaits on the other side. You are gaining so much. Keep smoking off the table and lean into the hundreds of other things you can do with this moment, then the next. The moments add up. You can do this.

NOPE!

Quitting physically and emotionally is one thing but quitting mentally is something some never get around to or even think about, We all need to stand back at some point in the quitting process and examine smoking and the truths & lies we ALL experienced as smokers and now leave behind as quitters. Understanding the realities of smoking as a quitter is very different than what we believed the truth to be as a smoker and I believe seeing that truth in a new light is the key to staying quit for life!

Hey Brioski, I just read through your thread. You have come a long way. Please, do not give up! I did that after 3+ years and before that ive messed up a 5+ years quit. Still sorry about that… it makes me all the more determined to do it right this time. Smoking is not worth time, money or effort. I remember from previous quits the lasting sadness and mourning. I swear by Joel Spitzers ‘acknoledge the negative, but dwell on the positive’. I started to magnify every positive little thing a thousand times, it really works. I gave myself chores, distraction, rest. Each phase had its own solutions I guess. Every time I beat a craving, I was soooo happy and proud and relieved. Celebrating these moments is important! They are huge and literally mean the difference between freedom and slavery. You are doing your brain a huge favour by quitting, imagine all these new pathways. I wish you strength in your quit. Hang in there!

Stay strong MLMR, a forever quit is in you. Just believe in yourself and believe that it is 100% achievable. You are in the right place for encouragement and support. We are all here to support you because we have all been there. I did it cold turkey during the beginning of the pandemic. You too, can achieve your goal to be a non smoker .

Awww man. I hope this is resolved favorably for the bees. The world needs every bee it can get.

Sorry to hear about your diagnosis Bri. Not smoking will only help fight that. Per the CDC: “Managing diabetes is challenging, and smoking can make it even more so. Nicotine increases your blood sugar levels and makes them harder to handle. People with diabetes who smoke often need larger doses of insulin to keep their blood sugar close to their target levels.” ***Don’t know why I’m posting this gif other than to remind you that even if a cigarette still smells good to you(every so often it still smells good to me too) it most certainly does not look good. haha

NOPE…

Aww B. Sorry to hear you have been given bad news about your health . Not smoking can only be a good thing . We suggest taking the year pledge As diffefent seasons can be tough . One day at a time B.!!

Great party ..

Sorry to hear the diabetes news, B. I’ve had to smack down some of my own craving temptations lately. Work totally sucks for me right now, and I’d like to pickle those feelings by smoking. But I won’t. We shall persevere together!

On tonight's news they said they only lost about 10,000 bees. Not sure how they would know that but, they are leaving many of the wooden beehive things where the accident happened saying that more bees will find their way back to the hives over the next few days. I tend to believe that because I recently had to take out a hornet nest that was attached to a large tree limb that broke off in a wind storm and the bees were still hanging around the area two & three days later, looking for their nest I suppose.

Yeah, the sleeplessness was the pits. I have no idea how I functioned during this time, but it seems I was curled up under blankets crying for a few weeks anyhow. Thankfully I wasn’t employed at the time. This too shall pass and brighter days are coming!

Nope!
