Congrats on 5 months smoke free IGT! On your way to a half year already

Congrats on 5 months IGT! Keep it going. Thoughts of smoking are not actions and actions are what count. Stay the course.

Possibly part of the update last week? I'm not very observant of that sort of stuff but now that I look at it I think you may be correct there - more smoke or at least an enhancement of the image?

I think you will find a support group who really understand exactly what you are going through is a great asset to you in your effort to break free of this addiction. Knowledge and support are key components to not only quitting but most importantly ..... staying quit!

^^^ I could tell you a story about that but it would sound super creepy ....... even tho it isn't

Trying to figure out if I'm a betweenie or an Olde Pharte. Kind of hoping for betweenie because that sounds way cooler

Hi Kall and welcome to our family I say family because we are all nicotine addicts just like you! Regardless of our individual personalities we all have the ability to quit smoking and finally say NO to this slavery that is nicotine addiction. It is the clear path to longevity in terms of both health and wealth. Saying "that's enough!" to nicotine addiction will not only likely extend your life but it will empower you in ways you can not even imagine right now. Don't over think it - just do it ...Quit smoking and take it 1 day at a time. You will never regret it I promise you that. You will find great support here on Quit Train because we are all just like you; we are quitters too! Remember 1 day at a time - NOPE is your new mantra. Not One Puff Ever! It's that simple

NOPE!

20!! Nice try D

We can't change decisions we made in the past. All we can do is make better decisions today and .... you have done that by committing to a smoke free future

Yes, quit now. Why wait? You've done it before so you can do it again. No matter what life throws at us, smoking only makes things worst, not better. Don't delay. Come back to a community of support and make a positive change in your life. Hope to see you around soon

I'm sorry to hear all the struggles you are facing. I am glad you got through this because of what you know in your heart about this addiction and from the support of those you know from this board. Good call on posting here! I am also super impressed that so many peeps you know from your time on this board came running to your side in your moment of frustration and doubt - damn this is such an awesome place

If the Step #1 patches are a problem maybe try to go back to the place you got them and discuss with them? They may have some suggestions for you including advise about starting with a lower dose patch. Just a suggestion.

A toast to your 7th month smoke free Christa! Congratulations

Keep a list of all the reasons you want to quit close to you all the time Lilly. On your phone or written on paper so you can pull that out and read them any time you have a smoking thought. Focusing on all the positives your are gaining by quitting and knowing that the only reason you don't already have those things is because of smoking might just help you readjust your thinking more quickly. See the positives - not the negatives
