Sure, sure. That's your official answer but when nobody's looking it's ....................

Welcoming you to Quit Train as well Ferimeth! Quitting will be the most important thing you can do for a healthier future life so it is worth a short period of difficulty adjusting to life without cigarettes. You mentioned you had a burning sensation in your throat? I have not heard of that being related to quitting smoking although there are many temporary quit symptoms that people experience. If that keeps up, see a Dr. about it as it may be unrelated to your quitting. You also mentioned you had heard that it takes 23 days to break the addiction. Quitting is really a 2 part process. Ridding your body physically of nicotine, which means when you stop using the patch or any other form of nicotine, it will take approximately 3 days for all the nicotine to exit your blood stream. The longer process of quitting is the mental adjustment. That part takes a lot longer. You have to become comfortable again to living life without smoking. If you think about it, smoking really invades every aspect of your daily life so it takes awhile to adjust your thinking until you are once again comfortable functioning as a non smoker. You'll get there. Just keep at it. One day at a time will get you there.

Yes , there's clearly been a change in that regard. But, when you look at your profile, it will still say you last logged in on Oct, 15, 2006 or whenever the last time it was you logged in on a regular login. Also, if you put the cursor over your name at the bottom of the page it won't say what thread you are looking at. Actually, I'm not sure why I started logging in anonymously but I did. I also noticed that when I log in anonymously, my ticker doesn't work. It stays at the same numbers every day. I deleted mine for awhile then just recently put it back up. The numbers have been exactly the same since I created it - lol. Oh and by the way ..... we have cameras that can see into your living room too so .... there's no anonymous around here 🐖

Sad to hear - condolences. I have lost long time pets in the past too. Not easy as they become part of our daily lives and all have their own personalities.

Remember Doreen. Wine drinkers drink from a glass. Never straight from the bottle!!

17 getting there boys

I am happy to hear that you HAVE made that commitment to yourself because that is a critical step. That brokerage job on Wall Street must have been crazy pressure 😮 I have the DVD Wall Street - Love It!! I'm sure it's not like the reality but still 😎 So now it's time for you to take care of YOU and we can help you do that. Hang around and find out because smoking is high stakes too - your life may depend on what you do. We choose life here on the Quit Train!

That's right D1. We can't change those stupid decisions we made back when we started smoking. What's done is done. Now we just gotta pull ourselves up by the boot-straps and put in the time and hard work required to get us to the point where we can manage any thoughts we might have of smoking easily. We can't make it like we never smoked but ... we can commit to never smoking again
