Nice! I have some furniture that could use some love. Do you feel like coming to Arizona?

I had it real bad in the beginning I was an emotional wreck. It was really hard to believe that it would ever get easy, but like you said it did. I'm not sure when it happened, I should have kept a journal. The craves stopped, the dreams stopped, and I got on with my life. Now thoughts of smoking go away as fast as they come. I do not feel empty. I am not missing anything at all! Nice post Sharon :D

Rain!!! Send some here!! Glad you're staying dry :) Oh and not smelling like damp smoke YUCK!!

I have been drinking the glacier freeze but I have to water it down 2 parts gatorade 1 part water. On the plus side I am saving money and calories but I miss my dragonfruit vitamin water. Vitamin water is basically flavored water with a small amount of vitamins and minerals added to it it came in some unique yummy flavors. My favorite was the dragonfruit its been a few weeks since I have had one and I am getting real cranky :aggressive:

Thanks I'm trying to hydrate not dehydrate lmao B)

OMG I just went and read I wish I could say I am surprised but yeah same shit different day. I stay out of the crap but I pay attention too and that is why I chose this board. I love the way they say this board is all banned members,maybe I was a little out of the loop because I was only aware of a few bans 2 of the members they banned they tried to get to come back and the other couple they say are bullies and troublemakers. I must have been absent from school when they taught about bullies because I could swear the bullies are on the other board. I find it funny no one here cares about the link to that site but they are going crazy about the link to this site. I wonder what they are afraid of? Maybe they are afraid the nice people on their board will realize how much nicer it is over here and decide to hop on the train instead of staying on that sinking ship. I felt the need to post this because after watching one of the bullies posting screenshots of this board it is clear they feel the need to spy on us. They must be bored silly and feeling pretty insignificant to see that no one here talks about them. Only talking about them now because they are ruining that board with all their petty BS drama and beating up on HAT. The other thing that really kills me is the people who have been there less than 6 months talking shit like they have any idea about anything at all. That board saved me,kept me quit, and now it has been completely ruined by a bunch of bandwagon jumping bullies. It makes me sick. Thank you so much for this board and may it always be a safe haven for those of us that need it.

I know a lot of people here are living a healthy lifestyle now and have changed your diet and exercise routines since having quit smoking. I have been trying to eat better and to get more exercise but I very much hate the taste of all artificial sweeteners so I never buy anything that is labeled diet. The taste of artificial sweeteners almost makes me gag it tastes so fake and like chemicals. I am baffled that people actually like the way it tastes. Life is short and I have quit smoking and many other things that are not good for me but sugar is just something I am not willing to let go. My favorite drink was Vitamin water. The regular one obviously as I hate artificial sweeteners. I have always been very much aware of the fact that it is not a "healthy" drink. I drink it because I like the way it tastes. It has a very mild flavor sweet but not too sweet. Very light and refreshing a drink I could actually gulp down in no time it was the perfect drink for me. I am so unhappy because the genius minds at the vitamin water company that makes both regular vitamin water and vitamin water zero have decided to add Stevia extract to the regular vitamin water so now it tastes like a diet drink. They already have a diet version with Stevia in it. Why have they decided to do this to the regular drink? I must tell you they still have real sugar in the drink they just added Stevia to it. This change has not changed the amount of calories in the drink and has only removed 1 gram of sugar and 1 carbohydrate. Now the drink is thick and so sickeningly sweet with an awful aftertaste. The worst thing about this change is that they did not have the decency to make it clear to consumers that they changed the recipe so I bought a whole bunch of it not knowing it was going to have Stevia in it. I am so angry I do not like change I did not ask for and now I am on the search for a lightly flavored non carbonated drink that has no fake sugar in it. Sorry for the rant but hoping maybe somebody might have a suggestion for a new drink I might try.

Welcome Jeanne! It sounds like you are right on track for a successful quit. You will be a non smoker from here on in. Stay close to the boards, we are all here for you when you need to vent or get some advice. Not One Puff Ever. You can do it!

Come on people we need some new faces :)

I did not know my last cigarette was going to be my last one. I did not have a plan,still had 13 cigarettes left in my pack. My junkie brain kept telling me I had cheated myself. I would have smoked that last cigarette differently if I had known it was going to be my last cigarette ever. Maybe i should have one knowing it will be the last one. That will make it real.That would make it easier. The good people on these boards told me I was being foolish. I believed them and I don't feel like I need that last cigarette anymore :) I can't remember how long its been since I felt that way seems like forever. Hang on you will get there too :)

I have seen her posting on a Facebook quit site. It seems today is day 1 again. I hope she has not decided to stop seeking help here from us.

Sorry Gabby that you had to start over. It is important that you stop believing in the cigarette. The cigarette does nothing for you except make you smell bad and slowly kill you. Maybe you should head over to why quit.com and do some reading. The education about smoking is really what has kept me and many others here quit.

I know Tracey really wants to see him naked!! LMAO

Enjoy your time at the beach Tracey!

I hope you don't think I was judging or saying you are doing wrong. Not my intention at all. I am just stubborn enough and well bitchy enough to say no to anyone who would ask.

I would not be able to help my mom smoke. I am sorry but I just could not do it for anybody. Not because it would make me want to smoke but because I would feel like I am helping to kill them :(

One week is awesome Brittany! Keep it up :)
