I too wonder where all the mysterious people are.....why go through the whole effort of adding a profile and then never posting. I think when I first signed on I had allot of trouble navigating but figured out enough to get around and wanted to be on board enough that played around until I could figure it out.

Thanks for the support just had to regroup

NOPE

I will always get back aboard

I am still here but not happy to say with the funeral fell off the train car but.............I am back on as I will not go back to being a smoker just having a hard time. It was so so sad. Seeing my friends kids last night crying at their moms coffin. Since this whole sad thing started last week with having to say good bye to her at the ICU it is been a rocky road... Getting my ducks in a row.......I will stay aboard just don't have any positive words to add at the moment. Sorry

I hate when I loose my happy but I think it is part of the cycle. It will come back. Sometimes its the little things that bring it back slowly one moment at a time. Getting over any addiction makes us take a good long look at ourselves and that can be a good thing. We need to love an accept our self the good bad and ugly.

Reciprocity that made me smile

Work out Breath Deeply Say a prayer Take a walk Watch a kitty cat video :-)

Yep I can relate feeling really cranky lately work is insane, have a funeral tomorrow of someone who died way to young and suddenly. Not sure why but I am jealous of my co worker who actually gets up from her desk to take regular breaks where now I sit in this freaking chair from 8:30 until I leave at 5:00. BREATHE BREATHE yep its gonna be another gym night.........

NOPE

Nope not today.......

Smoke Free makes me feel good. Smoke Free makes me smell good. Smoke Free keeps my car clean........ Enjoying: Deep Breaths,Fresh Air, Exercise I love not worrying where and when can I smoke. Hated not being able to travel without the Nicodemon tugging at me. Listening to rain thinking oh dam need the umbrella to smoke. Then really stinking when I come in.

Nope not even on a sad Monday......

Today started out like any other put on my Green and beads even added my shamrock earning. I arrive at work to receive horrible horrible news. St Particks Day will never be the same a very good friend had a massive stroke last night. The girls all text back and forth that it was bad one by one we all tell our bosses and each other we are on the way. Went to the hospital to say good bye...... oh my God what a horrible horrible thing she was a single mom leaving four kids behind she was a single mom.... It is just so shocking I just can't believe it how could such a thing happen on such a beautiful day... Oh poor Donna she is now in Heaven....... It is still unreal.

Wow it does look pretty we were supposed to get 2 feet thankfully warm air off the water kept it to a few inches and then just ice and rain. My sister and brother got over 2 feet though.

Good morning and a big NOPE for today

Did you make yourself a pre-post SOS for when the Nicodemon gets in your head? Today is a good day to create one if not. Are you back aboard?

I just discovered days have gone by and haven't had any thoughts or desires to smoke. What a great feeling. I guess that's how it works. Days start to go bye and you don't even realize the routine has been successfully changed slowly and steadily. And the thoughts no longer posses all your thinking and time. My friend at work comes past I think pew she stinks and I realize I smelled the same before. I listen to her try and catch her breath and feel sorry for her. It makes me think wow if I was huffing and puffing just walking around that would be a sure sign I need to quit. To each is own we all need to find our own way.

That is wonderful

Welcome aboard first thing first Hello and hope you feel better. This is a great place to come. There is so much to read and watch the videos are a big help. So stay focused on finding out all you can. Knowing that this is an addiction can be a huge help most of us (well I can only speak for myself ) know that in order to conquer an addition you need tools and a true desire to want to quit. So good luck glad you found this site.

Well we dodged the bullet along the south shore of long island. Part me is ok with it and part of me missed having all that snow. But heck we still got a snow day. Listening to the rain/sleet and hail made me especially happy that I don't smoke any more...... Also I had one of the moments when I realized a few days had gone by and didn't even have a second thought about smoking that was really nice.

Feel better. Sometimes it can be a blessing to be sick in the beginning it gets you through those really crappy days.

NOPE

Welcome Dr. Phil. Don't get down life happens and for whatever reason we end up on a road we need to get off of. I had quit back in 2008 and it had lasted a few years not sure how it happened but ended up back in a cloud of smoke. Now 3 months nicotine free for the long haul God willing. This site has been very helpful and that is something I didn't have back in 2008. Or a mother that just came through two different types of lung cancer. We have been blessed as her last PET Scan came back clean.

I LOVE Snow days. Yes I have to shovel and hell I live on a corner but the kid in me comes out. I build snowmen and I bought me and boyfriend snow shoes this year. Which we only go to use once so far, so with 18 inches coming I think I will get one more time to use them...... Bought all fixings for a pot of home made chicken soup and may even have a beer when I have worn myself out..... YEAH SNOWDAY!!!!!!
