Congratulations on your Four months quit!!! :D

Awesome job Evelyn!! One week done and dusted, Congratulations!! :D

YAY -YAY - YAY!!! One Day to GO!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Hey Nat, good to see you're back on the QT!! :D .....as for after a meal - I would put 2 pieces of Twizzlers next to my plate so it was there in easy reach right after I finished eating, stuck one in my mouth to suck on (kind of clenched between my back teeth) as I was cleaning up, and the second to "play" with after the kitchen was done, but still wanted the 'hand to mouth' satisfied...

Oh sweetie, I'm so very sorry to hear this, I'm sending you love and all positive thoughts, and will keep for you, your sister and parents in my prayers ((Nancy))

3 months is AWESOME!! :D

Saturday was my 2 yr anniversary sober and Sunday 10 months since I quit smoking... So I was strut'n around all proud of myself singing my own praise's in my head because I knew none of the family would remember my big dates..and everything was going great, ... Saturday I went over to the folks house and finished the wishing well me and Poppy built for mom (that he wanted painted John Deer yellow and green :rolleyes: - so thats what I did ), .. then came home and stared back on the sketches I've been working on for a mini house I want to try my hand at building..and just general puttering around the house. Sunday mornin' I got up and there was a wrapped pkg on the table where I was working on my plans for the 'house'.. I looked at it and poked at it thinking hb must have forgotten to give a present out this xmas... so hb gets up not long after, gets his coffee and says " open your gift, I'm not bringing it to you"... I thought 'yay! I'm the one he forgot to give the present to - boy am I NOT gonna let him live this down anytime soon!! :laugh2: I open it - and it's a scroll saw!!! He put his coffee down - put his arms around me and said "I saw on the calendar that yesterday marked your 2 yrs sober, and today is 10 mo not smoking, I want you to know- even tho I probably don't say it enough, I I AM proud of you, I thought you could use this saw for your latest project"..... I was crying by this point... he wiped away my tears with those rough hands of his and said " I really am proud of you baby, come on now, stop your crying - let me show you how to use this" ... and he did,. and I'll have y'all know I still have all my fingers!! LOL (I'm right proud of that :P) So, if you don't see me around for a bit it's because I'm make'n sawdust - in an attempt to make runners for the staircase that will go in the entry hall of my 'house' Hugs, lov and cookies all 'round!! :D

Wonderful post !, Welcome to the QT family! :D

Congratulations on your 9 months quit!!! :yu:

YAY! YAHOO!! WOOPY!! Nope today :)

Hmm.don't know Evelyn, I didn't use NRT,.. but it is cold and flu season.. maybe you're catching a "bug".. hope you feel better.

good morning Rowlyn, good to hear you're standing tall! excellent job keeping your quit!! :) my plan for the day is to go over to my folks place and finish painting a wooden wishing well me and poppy have been making for my mom, then off to Lowes to get some balsa wood for a doll/model house i'm working on, and start a book hb gave me for xmas "The Book of Random Oddities" (first little tidbit -Australia is the only place in the world that is an island,a continent, and a country) information that I'll probably never use, but for me it's fun.

howdy-doody QT family, it's gonna be a nope Saturday for me :P

Jen, I'm sorry you feel so bad about about smoking, but you're back quit again and thats what really matters, you didn't say " oh well may as well keep smoking- to heck with it!".... you didn't do that, you got right back on, be PROUD of that!!! we're proud of you for it.. I know it feels like it will never end, you just want the day(s) to be over, time just seems to be going so slow.. but it does get better, honest it does hun,.. I've said this before, right now time itself can be both your friend and your enemy ... your enemy because it seems it's moving to - to slow, thats because we spent so much time smoking, when you quit- you have to fill that time with something different so we say over and over "keep busy"... when the crave comes or the romance starts, get busy doing something, anything, even if it's just posting an sos and say " I could use some company til this pass's".... time is your friend because (even if it doesn't seem like it now) as it goes by you learn how to do other things besides smoke.. you have battles that you win and your confidence grows... I know it's hard to believe us when we say - if it didn't get better we wouldn't still be quit...but I swear it's true not everyone can just stop and be done with it, if we could, this board wouldn't exist, we wouldn't need support and encouragement..and to know we aren't alone - aren't the only one who has these feelings/struggles...this board exist because nicotine addiction for most people is hard to beat, but it CAN be beat.. you asked when will it be easier,.. theres no answer to that Jen, every quit is a little different, for some they struggle along and then have an "ah-ha" moment, for others like me, they just have to plug along- put one foot infront of the other, let the days pass, and it sneaks up on you- one day something happens and you realize you're not constantly fighting, don't have that constant nag nag nag.. you just have to stay with it..and believe we're here for you Jen, and so proud you got right back to a lovely new 'sticky' quit :)

woohoo, 4 days to go!! :D

Aw, I'm really happy for you and your lovely Mrs. congratulations on your 11 months :D

Sorry to hear this Jen,. I'm sure you feel just awful,....but you're back on the QT,..you had a good "practice quit".. now it's this new quit you have started that is the one that counts,.. you can do this hun, you really can, ((jen))
