They should be made to wear one of those diving helmets, the big gold fish type ones Lmao, only joking :) When we were smokers though we never really gave a monkey's what other people thought just as long as we got a FIX I get frustrated at smokers now, not at them personally but at the addiction itself and never smokers have no understanding at all

One day at a time Step by step xxxx

Cruise can't stay still too long Microwave dinners or homecooked

Ditch the gum and go cold turkey without smoking in between that's more nicotine going in which will make the restart even harder!!!! You have passed your tests now which was your excuse to chew the gum Smoking ain't gonna fix nothing, getting nicotine out of you is as you know it gets easier Sorry to kick your butt but your junkie thinking is getting to crisis point Come on Susana get a grip, kick this QUITS ass, no need to go step backwards move forward I know you can do it xxx

Jay in the first few weeks do what ever it takes, I stayed away from booze as I knew this would be major It's only temporary. It don't take long to switch the habits which are the triggers and then you. An enjoy the coffee etc again and even better because you Can taste better

Hi yogi welcome :)

Snowflake

sorry Sarah what a shock for you understandably pissed off but dust yourself down and move on it his loss not yours look at it as a lucky escape Unfortunately you have to kiss a few frogs to find Prince charming but he is out there just have faith

This is mine: Beginning - through withdrawal: My plan - 6 weeks prior to quit date, I did a complete sugar detox (worse than nicotine!) 2 weeks prior I changed my brand to the weakest sort The quit date: Walks Shouting at myself NOPE Green tea Water Breathing exercises, 4 second in hold for 4, 4 seconds out Reading and posting Showers Sleep A straw with cotton wool in it Hypnosis videos from YouTube Eating fruit Listening to others, believing One step at a time minutes, hours, days Stayed away from smokers No wine until I was stronger Next 6 months: Reading and posting Quit buddies Pledging NOPE Going for walks when crave hit Learning I had quit not given up something Faced triggers early on, challenged my fears Read my own pre SOS when junkie thinking was around Watched my mum thinking I do not want to be like that Brought nice things or did things with money saved Ate like a horse Posted SOS 7 months until now: Quit buddies Reading and posting Getting fit now and healthy eating Trigger or crave (stress)- time out, 5 minute walk or talk to myself Finally accepting smoking willl do absolutely nothing for me or change the situation Smile I am a non smoker Moving forward into the positive changes the quit has brought my life Would I change a thing at this point? Yes remove the WANT the I can't, I must not Would have been so much easier from the beginning with just I DO NOT WANT!!!!! Still learning, still evolving.. Did anyone have a pre plan and what is in your quit tool box?

mason a month is awesome look at you go :)

:huh: :welcome: Back I will save my tears for your year quit anniversary :)

Hey tiff I had my first SOS the day before my 7 quit anniversary yes at the time. Had to swallow my pride but boy I . Am glad I did reaching out is what this board is all about its the difference between keeping your quit and sack it in You say you are running around is that at home or work or both? As a non smoker you can still take timeout, go sit somewhere with a nice drink, take 5 minutes time out especially if you are stressed My anger management is crap I can flip a . Lid but I'm learning to take time out to calm down Things you could do Go sit on your own and have a God dam cry Go eat something nice enjoy it take your time don't feel guilty Have a shower or bath If at work tell them you feel sick an need some fresh air Watch hypnosis video on YouTube Breathing exercise Go for a run Do not throw in the towel you know you will regret it all you need to do is some 're giggling of time, smoking will not change time but it will give you less time on this planet eventually
