You're coming up to 7 months quit Kate. so you still have some strong remembrance of smoking in certain situations. Unexpectedly a seeminly strong urge to "have one" pops into your head. It's completely normal and happens to us all. That's what the 1 year pledge is for - to make sure you get past all those unplanned situations where your brain goes immediately to smoking, even though you may be surprised that it does this far into your quit. Remember .... every situation like this that you face and end up dismissing is another WIN for you One more notch in your quit belt Kate. Soon, there'll be no more complete surprises, just vague memories of smoking for which we all have to remain vigilant but by then, it's pretty easy

You know where your "Quit Home" is Linda and the whole family is here to support you. Stay close and let us know when we can step in to help you through the tough times Know this:You have what it takes but, it will take all you have!

Nope!

Don't EVER give up on quitting, even when you feel you need a break from the struggle because quitting will save you from even greater struggles with the quality of your life later on.

I see the Braves managed to squeak out a win against the Marlins yesterday. A real pitcher's battle

7 morning all

I still think of myself as a newbie most of the time. Just a newbie who doesn't think about smoking anymore I look back at being a newbie as sort of that saying in the book I had to read in school: It was the best of times; it was the worst of times. I don't know cuz I probably flunked all those classes anyway but being a newbie is where it's at as far as I'm concerned. Highs and lows, that's where the excitement is!

^^^^ Yeah this. He get's it!

Heard it's bad this year already and you're just getting into fire season - try and stay safe! Good God! Fires, Covid ... give us a break already!! Hope you're area isn't around brush and grassy areas

Huge congrats to you today Darcy! A half year quit; 6 months, is an exciting milestone for sure. You conquered the worst of things. Now it's about honing that quit to fit your your still developing smoke free lifestyle. Be Proud! Be excited and celebrate this occasion by treating yourself to something a little special (and maybe expensive too? )
