Hi I'm Thomas, I just signed up today, and literally quit less than a day ago. I was reading some of the posts on the message board and it really helped me get out of my own head when I was feeling weak, so thanks for that.9 points

Welcome @rhone you are making a great decision, one thing that helped me was this book by Alan Carr, see ya around. https://www.amazon.com/Allen-Carrs-Smoking-Without-Willpower/dp/178404542X/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=ML5W6W2TAS7J&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.OGR6RjsspcxgLmU2oxAi4UeqlpNucvpScwHZc8MZu9SFHY5JndzcsKD89qmlmohvRRxjaYux-d1sY-2EKuL91MYaIH0YTxwxL-XfBa2yt8M54l-07piey8u2fNIeWydnuDtXVB5LsHyvYcqaM-26lEe6w5i6fJ679gKhYziOHg0BR8B6NrgTwyg4Cw7hq8b5pq8Grtu5TsQwC8fLJeETUgbjBbd9WcOG_HVBvWRigbE.xj7iMyDzZG_q7Aa6e2fHWcHw2Y1GP-4lONDaT_-omvk&dib_tag=se&keywords=the+easy+way+to+stop+smoking+by+alan+carr&qid=1705370291&sprefix=The+Easy+Way%2Caps%2C180&sr=8-2-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1 Ummmmmm @Brioski said ...........

Welcome aboard Thomas! Congratulations on your new quit. The best decision you’ll ever make. Knowledge is power… read all you can to arm yourself against the wily tricks this addiction likes to play on us. Lots of distraction is also key in the early days. Keep us posted on how you are doing - lots of good folks here on the forum are ready to help. If big cravings happen, come here first, before smoking again, and ask for help. See you around!1 point

Welcome Thomas! You’re doing an amazing thing, quitting…your brain/addiction will eff w u and try to get u back but the longer you push those thoughts off the less power they’ll have truly. You’re already doing great for the time you’ve been quit1 point

Peter_is_in Quit Date: 11/22/2003 Posted January 26, 2019 For me personally and what I have seen, I reflect on the word "Struggle" . . . To watch a loved one die from cancer while all you can see is the whites of their eyes. The pain and frustration only shows in the wrinkles of their face, because they cannot talk . .. that's a struggle. That cannot be undone To hear about a roadside bomb hitting a convoy of peace keepers in Afghanistan . . . and your child may be in that convoy . . . communications are automatically cut for several days . .. that's a struggle. You have no control To give up on planning yearly fishing trips with your best buddy, because cancer just stole him away from you. . . that's a struggle. That cannot be forgotten To hear the last words of your sister in moans and groans because the pain before dying of cancer is so much. . . that's a struggle. That cannot be erased To see a family member taken off life support. . . that's a struggle. That cannot be erased To learn about others who have no food to eat tomorrow, and likely will die . . . that's a struggle. That cannot be ignored To have a strong crave to smoke a cigarette . . . that's not a struggle . . . That's an inconvenience. That can be undone That can be controlled That can be forgotten That can be erased That can be ignored You can do it!
