Welcome Kbc! Quitting smoking is a truly great thing. Learn as much as you can about nicotine addiction and reach out to the board if you are struggling. You can do this!

Nice to see you again, Mike! Welcome to QuitTrain.

Welcome to the Lido Deck, Missdixie! Celebrate big today!

Happy belated birthday, QuitTrain. And since cats seem to be a recurring theme at quit sites for some reason...

Congratulations Boater! That first month is huge! Do something to celebrate today!

NOPE - smoking sucks! Happy Friday, everybody!

I smoked my first cigarette in about the fifth or sixth grade. I was so disgusted by that experience that I didn't smoke another cigarette again...until my first weekend in college. And, it wasn't long until, well, you know... I don't think any of us set out to be addicts but that occasional social cigarette early on can become an addiction quickly. I think it is good that your daughter told you and I really hope she doesn't light up again. Since she confessed to you, I hope she listens to what you say and realizes how bad this whole smoking thing can really be and steers clear of trying it again in the future.

You are doing fantastic, Rose! Congrats on 1 month smoke free!

Your thread made me smile, lml. That is the perfect attitude. Yes, you are stronger than your craves and yes, you are a non-smoker. That is fantastic. Keep up the great work!

Awesome job, Shane! 4 months smoke free is awesome. Thanks for all the support that you give other quitters here as well.

Cubs place both Yu Darvish and Jason Heyward on the disabled list. I don't wish injuries on anyone but I'm not sure if it will impact the team too much the way their seasons have gone so far. Chicago calls up 23 year old minor leaguer Jen-Ho Tseng to take Darvish's place in the rotation tonight. Tseng is currently sporting an 8.04 ERA this season in minor league ball so this could get ugly. Then again, the Cubs are facing the lowly Miami Marlins so who knows?

Some of Sazerac's New Orleans music postings made me think of this song.

Yes, life is wonderful without a cigarette. You may just be getting a glimpse of that now but it will become much clearer and stronger with time. Keep up the great work, a smoke free life is worth the early ups and downs of a quit.

You are doing great. I remember when I counted hours smoke free. 17 days smoke free is a huge accomplishment. Those first few days and weeks are big victories and it does gradually get easier and become less of a big deal. It definitely sounds like you are making huge progress in becoming more used to life as a nonsmoker.
