Way to go JC!

Wow! Congratulations on 3 weeks of Freedom :)

You're off to a good start Wendy. I used Chantix when I quit too. Along about the 10th day is when cigarettes became very disgusting to me. I put one out about half way through and never looked back. I feel the Chantix was a big help, especially the first few weeks. Then I relied on my determination to never smoke again. I spent a lot of time here reading and also read Alan Carr's book, again :) Keep Noping. You can do it :)

Congratulations on 10 months of Freedom!

nope

That is exactly what I did :) I was surprised how fast I broke the cigarette with coffee habit. i couldn't believe how good my coffee tasted after quitting :D

Colleen - the orange chicken looks scrumptious :)

We are having, I guess you could call it "Recycled Chili" tonight. Son and Daughter-in-law live just half a block from us. They had chili last night. They bring the leftover pot of chili to us and we are having chili dogs and mac & cheese. I love easy :wub:

And my neighbors wonder why a cop is peeping in my windows. :wacko:

I've done just about everything mentioned above. One thing in particular that I remember was after giving birth to my youngest daughter. They allowed smoking in the "smoking lounge" back then. But I was told not to get out of bed yet. Did I listen? Oh hell no! I got up, walked down to the smoking lounge, smoked a cigarette and on the way back to my room almost fainted. A nurse had to catch me from falling. Determined smoker? Nope - a nicotine addict.

Thanks for this post Chrys!

Way to go Evelyn!

I will gladly join you in this pledge Ross. I too, have seen how folks slip away from the board.y Staying close here and helping when I can strengthens my quit. So much help was given to me (and still is) when I first came here. I intend to pay it forward. I pledge another year here on this board. Besides, I would miss all of you if I stay away too long :)

At a little over 5 months smoke-free, I still have the rare "I should smoke" thought. Rubbish! I quickly realize that no, I don't smoke. And how stupid it would be to even entertain that thought. I don't crave a cigarette. That ship sailed 5 months ago. Just an occasional thought. But as soon as that thought pops into my mind - out it goes, with a swift kick. I'm so glad I don't smoke :)

Welcome :)

Good Morning! A cold, snowy day - but a perfect day to Nope!
