Hi and Welcome! First class seat for you on the Quit Train! I´m looking forward to sharing experiences and tips with you. :)

And where does all that tar go? HERE! It is gross. I know. But for those of us with early quits this may be a good reminder of what and why we are doing...

I´ll delete this picture tomorrow. it is gross. :bad: But if you saw my "tar in 400 cigarettes" video... obviously this is what tar does... once down there it is not going anywhere. It is not a shot of tequila that you can vomit. Once down there.... it is not going anywhere. Jackie, enjoy your happiness and your luck. We are the lucky ones. Because we thought about it, we started it, we happened to find the right tools (one of which is definitely this board), and we finally quit. It is amazing how very early on we can feel our lungs heal. No more coughing, no more wheezing... I´d love to see what an ex-smoker lung looks like... at 1 monht, at 1 year, at 10 years.... Enjoy the games and the Glasgowian hospitality! And amaze them with your almost-7-months !!!!! :give_heart:

Please let us know how you are doing... :friends:

You and your daughter are such generous guys :angel:

WOW! same day! Well done you two! Congratulations, Ron! :good:

Congratulations! You´ve sailed through Hell week in style. Well done! That is the attitude that makes your quit easier for you, and an example for the rest of us. :good3: Isn´t it amazing that we start feeling the benefits of quitting so early on? How after tens of years of wheezing and coughing, these are gone within days of quitting! It´s all good! :yahoo:

Well done! :bb:

Go girl! You quit smoking... you can do ANYTHING! I will be watching and NOPE´ing. No smoking for me today. Not an option today.

Today has been an easy-peasy day. Amazingly so. I had a sugar-free nicotine-free chewing gum or two this morning, and that was it. I didn´t fancy a Spanish nicorette, and I just stopped chewing and moved on with my life. I was busy. My friend sent me a horrible video in FB. The one about the tar in 400 cigs... I´ll post it separately. That put me off smoking again big time. And happy with my 20-day quit. Yeepee! So I´ve been to two meetings with smokers, one outside and another in their office. I entered their office and it hit me (yuck, these people smoke in here... and probably think that they can get away with it?). All I could think of is how happy I am with my 20 days´ quit. It is even better today because the last two or three days were just evil. Today was beautiful. I can do this! Thank you for being there for me! I thought I would share the bliss. And the knowledge that days DO GET BETTER! :-)

A board is as good as the people who keep it alive. And this one is JOLLY EXCELLENT!!!! :clapping: Go QT go!

Oh dear! I thought you were having trouble... "trouble" :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2: It took me ages to be able to paste mine... and at the end I just did it out of trying different links... Hopefully somebody less technically challenged than myself will show up. You have to have a ticker! You´ll love seeing it move! Onwards and upwards! :good3:

Hi Delta! Let´s have a chatroom party! Friday night at 2200 GMT? Delta, can you attend that time? Or is it too late for you?

Morning! I will not smoke today. Keep marching to Freedom. :dance4: N.O.P.E.

- Play the numbers game - Work our how to post decent pictures - Go and take decent pictures. Lots of them. - Cook something and take pics whilst you are cooking it... hang on.. do we have a recipe thread? - Start a recipe thread ;-)

Please.... spot the wrong word in that paragraph. A clue... it is near the end of the paragraph...

I´m sorry, but you say "tomatoes" and I just can´t possibly take you, or the film, seriously.... If they were Killer "tomatos" they would be reaaaaaally scary... a bit like "The Blair Witch Project" or "The Shining" but red... and round... I wonder what Tracey has to say about it...

You are doing great at day 2! But please don´t drop your guard regarding drinks. I´ve no idea what horseshoes or cornholes are.... I know about corns on feet, and holes on... never mind. As long as neither you nor me smoke tonight... the world will be right and happy. Keep it up!

Tiffany. You can do this. It is shit now, but it will feel great after ... maybe one more day? maybe one more weekend? maybe one more week? Even if it was one month it would be worth it! I´m in the same boat as you are. Ready to jump out... but what if safe land is only one night away? Well, I´m holding on for the time being... and so should you. OK, if by Christmas it is the same shit as it is now, we both relapse. Deal? But not before. Let´s give this quit a chance, shall we? :(
