so this went from me posting my pic to ugly cats....hmmmmm I just don't know about you people :blink: -_- :laugh2:

co ngrats on your great quit and attiude! Just don't ever get complacent !

Nope, not going to happen.

And how do I put my ticker in my signature? Thanks ahead of time!

In the past a few years back, I relapsed and I let my pride get in the way of just getting right back on board on the quit site and all the wonderful supportive people that grew to know me.....So I kept smoking for another frickin 4 years! I'm so happy to see you're not waiting for your birthday. I'm glad you posted and I'm sure you have already made some great cyber friends here! I wish you the very best.

Love hurts. About this weather...

you mean coldplay? YES I love Coldplay...in fact my oldest son is friends with the drummer!

I am so impressed with this site! With all the long term quitters who stick around to help us newbies ! You guys are the very fabric of this support system. Me, right now I'm a stitch in that fabric. My blood runs thick with helping others in any way possible, it always has. So it helps me the most in quitting to help others ! And to all the people here that are a few days, or weeks into this journey, please don't EVER let me catch up to you. I believe in you. I believe in me also. Thank you God (and Rainforest) for helping find the road to this quit forum. :heart:

Not one puff for me today! Nope, no way. HA! Just figured out how to get fancy :bye:

thanks Nancy. Now I have to show off my new ticker,

Blah.....I can't remember feeling soooo tired and also anxious during any other time I attempted to quit. Emotions are all over the place, not so much grouchy but one minute I.m happy and the next I'm bummed because I'm so tired. I wish my brain would just SHUT UP! I'm overthinking waaaay too much and trying to read so much posting and literature on this site all at once. My head is spinning. I think I need to just slow down, and read when I can and certainly post daily. Just know one thing...you're stuck with me now! :good3:

Thanks Nancy, I can read it. Good book I know, I read it long ago but need to read it again soon now.

very funny stories. without using an o what is an equestrian?

because you have a ton of important things to do the next day. Why does winter go sooooo slow after Christmas?

a toyota make and model. Without using a Q who is a kings wife?

yes Nancy, I just introduced myself there! Thank you :yes:

I've finally been able to log in here after a couple days of trying. THANKS admins! I quit smoking feb 6th. I've quit many times before so this is not new to me, but each time I relapsed. Once after 6 years:( However I was addicted to the nicotine gum those 6 yrs also) This time I quit on a date I hold near and dear to my heart. It would have been my dads birthday. He died 19 yrs ago from lung cancer and I promised him on his deathbed I was going to quit, so I've been quitting and smoking ever since. Which is ridiculous. And I'm sick of it. I want my freedom back for good. I no longer want (or choose) to have a little white cancer stick turn my lungs black. I realize the damage may already be done as I am no spring chicken ( but I'm not THAT old either!) However it is time to STOP the madness that is nicotine addiction for once and for all. Period. So this time I'm doing things different. I'm using the patch and will follow those instructions, I'm drinking LOTS of water, I'm trying so hard not to give in to my craving for candy (what's up with that anyway?) I'm snapping a thick rubber band on my wrist when I feel a craving coming on. I'm typing my heart out right now because it's keeping my hands busy and my mind off this current bump in the road. I figure a craving is like a bump in the road. You just drive right over it and then you're quickly on the other side! I feel like doing laps in this house but I can't really run as I had a knee replacement last march, maybe I could jog in place! I have also cut my coffee consumption in half, because I think it makes me nervous. Wow, I'm really not usually so long winded, sorry! Hopefully I can give as well as receive support here. You guys came highly reccommended by an old quit bud from way back of mine, Rainforest! Thanks so much for being here.

not one puff for me today! I need a ticker:) New here!!!!
