I bet your taste buds are thanking you too! No more smokey film build up covering them any longer. Have you noticed any difference in how certain foods taste to you now? It's not unusual to start developing a taste for foods you may previously had overlooked or even stop eating things you used to like as a smoker.

Yes .... please make it easy for me. As smart as I may look (), I'm not a mind reader. A quit date in your profile makes it a lot easier to post up each celebration you so richly deserve. If you don't have one or if it doesn't make sense ........

You're right. Local bylaws are rarely enforced as written but, they are there on the books at least so if some authority does get pissed at you, they can have you charged. It is enough to keep most reasonable people in line. I find most smokers are OK with these laws. I know I didn't want to make nonsmokers uncomfortable when I smoked and would go out of my way to avoid smoking in close public spaces.

I'm here! -2

I get a workout just trying to start my old lawnmower.

Yes, I also have thought of you often since you told your story to us Richard. Hope you are doing OK. We are here should you need some support.

Was that @bakon? Is that @bakon?

Wouldn't mind cruising around town in this! Corvette C8 Mid-Engine I'd only be able to drive it 6-7 months of the year here tho. Guessing it's not great in the snow

If you need the nicotine gum to maintain your quit until you graduate then I say do it. Quitting is #1 priority. How you do it is up to you but, please have it in your mind that once you get through this stressful time with your degree, slowly get off the gum then.

Congratulations on another year of freedom from smoking Diane! That makes 3 now Hope you are out there celebrating today and maybe will even drop by to let us know how you are

This statement is concerning to me. You have been here for well over a year and have just figured this out now? How many posts about people relapsing have you read here? It's ALWAYS the same story - 1 cigarette, even one puff, awakens your addiction again and makes you crave more cigarettes. It's the reason for NOPE. You know, that thing we pledge to ourselves every day. Knowledge is power when you;re quitting. Read more of the posts people have made here Pots and research as much other material as you can about nicotine addiction. I really hope you can stay focused this time and that you have learned a valuable lesson about why NOPE is so critical to everyone's quit!
