Well, I've go the lots of food part down...what does clean eating look like? I try to do more fruits and vegetables than anything else.... usually manage it.

You can do this.

Life is bringing opportunitites... noping my way through. in the last few days I have not had access to the boards.... and it makes a difference for me in the ease and grace in which I meet the remaining nicodemon messages...which are really just my poor ability to cope in healthy ways with BIG FEELINGS. sometimes rational understanding does not help...when I want to cry, scream and stomp my feet becasue I am hurting emotionally and my previosu go to way of getting by is not an option. grateful I am not a smoker anymore. looking forward to finding wyas to be ok, no THRIVE, through adversity vs. this flailing about and feeling very toddler like in abilities. scared because many momments the "i should get a pack" thought comes, with its many favorite lie messages...calm, handle yourself better, get through this...... and feel weak. I got this, right? need hugs.

Thanks for putting it out there Ava. Sometimes I am not sure what is okay to post or where to put it, so I just kind of hang around the edges, chime in and try to support (listen, acknowledge, validate) folks that are clearly in some kind of struggle. Not much online experience or knowleldge of the forum etiquette, and I am learning. Dirty130 - I too have people in my life that surely do not have faith in my ability to take back and remain free from tobacco and nicotine. I choose to believe I can. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. Thanks you to the "regular posting" people here...you all give the site fluency, consistency, humor and hope and thanks to the many new folks here... we give hope, too, by sharing our journey and growing together...... FREEDOM, ahhh ... relief. :D

nope NOPE

You are doing it!!! Freedom !! Glad to see you here and posting. I am in my third week of smobriety... for the most part it has been easy, ...maybe too easy?..., I feel like I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. then other times it's been an emotional rollercoaster. I'M Taking Marti's suggestion to you, for myself, and recognizing the down hills and the struggles... I can learn from both!...and stay free. nope, nope, nope

Happy Birthday Beacon! What will you do to celebrate your life this coming year?

NOPE.

Thank you MQ. Was trying from a different browser this morning and lo n behold... i had a ticker. Again, gracias.

Nope, nope, nope!

Happy wedded life, hope you job(s) settle just as you'd desire, and ENJOY your wedding being smoke free. Dance, dance, dance!!!

How I got here... Well, sometimes for me it is best not to listen to what my brain tries to tell me.... has a twisted logic that has been known to keep me trapped in places I'd rather choose not to be... so I looked for a place to connect with people who may understand; who would appreciate the glitches encountered in changing addict behaviors & thoughts; AND where fun and laughter abound....because really.... staying light of head and heart will be the way from me to stay FREE. I am sure heavy things will be encountered and for that ... we are all here for each other... support forum. Yay!

Thank you!

Thanks for asking Devil Doll. Really, thanks. So far it is going INCREDIBLY. I am deeply grateful that I experienced very few physical cravings; that I am navigating the psychological addiction with humor, grace and tears, ~ and hope and pray that continues to be the way I meet this. I spend much time lurking about QT...laughing at the many threads and posts..., and trying to develop my technological skills at posting pics and stuff to share with people. I have juiced, exercised (or what passes in my world), rewarded and held Self with compassion and tried not to fall into beating myself up for the many years I have slowly killed myself. I have posted, read, reread, and NOPED myself to today and will keep doing so. I deeply appreciate QT and the people here.

I have : created a ticker highlighted and copied url code opened my signature section attempted to paste the code ... no paste option and cntl v doesn't work. Is someone able and willing to make and place a ticker for me in my signature line? embarrassed to ask someone to do it for me and would like to see accomplishment... blue QT, please quit date: 10 July 2015 1400 20 /day $7/pack willing to try again if someone can walk me through it .... I must be missing something basic. techno challenged and learning... ha!
