NOPE - I don't smoke anymore.

You're doing great, Linda. Humor is always a good way to break the stress of the early stages of quitting... ...and it does get easier as your quit progresses. This is all normal. Keep up the great work.

Welcome to the board, Kdad. I had a number of short quit attempts as well. Getting support and educating myself about the nature of nicotine addiction really helped me quit for good. That support and education can be found here and can really help you too. Remember, you are doing a great thing by quitting smoking. There is nothing positive that comes from smoking, it is all negative. Quitting smoking is challenging but is an incredibly positive life change. You are doing a great thing by quitting.

Welcome TobacNo. Congratulations on deciding to quit smoking. You are doing a truly great thing. Read as much as you can about this addiction here and don't be afraid to reach out if you are struggling. Knowledge and support greatly increase your chances of quitting for good.

Welcome to QuitTrain, Nik. You've gotten a lot of good advice already. Be proud of what you are doing. Quitting smoking may be tough but it is an incredible life-changing thing to do. Keep up the great work.

NOPE - I don't smoke anymore.

Welcome to QuitTrain, Matt. Quitting smoking is an incredible thing to do and I'm glad you've decided to make this big change. There's a lot of support and advice here. Feel free to reach out if you need it. It is good to have you here.

Great job, Christa!

Congratulations Kelly!

Cristóbal was always abound my first few months on QSMB dispensing all sorts of brilliant quitting advice and support. Nothing wrong with starting the celebration early.

NOPE - never again.

Congratulations Cristóbal. Thanks for all the help that you gave me and so many others in their quits. I hope you celebrate big today.

Happy Birthday, Jane!

I have a friend from high school who NEVER would have smoked cigarettes back in the day. 20 years later, he now vapes and sees nothing wrong with it. Yeah, big tobacco knows exactly what they are doing in hooking this next generation of nicotine users, mostly kids but also adults who never would have smoked nasty-smelling tobacco cigarettes.

i don't do haiku but it's great to see beazel great job with your quit

Where I'm at, Raleigh, NC, was originally in the direct path but now it is on the edge of the storm. We've gotten a decent amount of rain and my power has been out of a little over a day but things are not bad compared to many more directly impacted by the storm. There has been 20 + inches of rain (with more on the way) in places not very far south and east of here (Wilmington, New Bern, and South Carolina is now in the path). Things aren't too bad here but the images in the below links aren't very far from me. Wilmington NC damage https://www.wral.com/weather/hurricanes/image_gallery/17841138/ New Bern NC damage https://www.wral.com/weather/hurricanes/image_gallery/17841433/ Other NC damage https://www.wral.com/weather/hurricanes/image_gallery/17843759/ CNN Coverage: https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/11/weather/gallery/hurricane-florence/index.html Prayers to everyone impacted by this big, slow moving storm.

NOPE, never again.
