It may be the seasonal changes that have made both of your month 8's a little more challenging? Just a thought. During that crucial 1st year, the change in a season often brings on new smoking triggers that you may not even be aware of. At least in our minds, we started moving into the Autumn mode as of Sept. Both of you are doing just fine. Remaining on guard for the unexpected is always a good thing - keep at it

Good to hear everything went well. Congrats on the new "stick" addition

You are correct - Nicotine is gone from your body. Now it's all a mind game. You're doing great Dragon! Celebrate the end of the physical aspect then dig in for the mental adjustment Oh yeah, good luck with the Pee Test

Clearly, beer must be less expensive there than it is at a Canadian sporting venue. I wouldn't be tossing a $15.00 beverage away no matter what the situation was

We'll see what happens. There's a lot of baseball to be played yet. At least now we know who all the contestants are

Nice one Brand New Ela! 11 months of saying NOPE to this addiction is real cause for celebration! Great to see another quitter getting ready to celebrate their 1 year anniversary. Can't wait to see you climbing on board the Lido Deck

Great work showing this addiction who's boss RoryPlog! 9 Months is fabulous so be sure to reward your efforts in some special way today!

Great to see you this far along in your forever quit Martian5! Faithfully keeping the NOPE each and every day is paying off big time. Congratulations! Time for a nice treat for yourself before making a dash for the Lido Deck

8 is Great Roopy Thrilled to see another quitter making it happen. Celebrate the milestone with pride!

Should be a good series with Boston though. They've been battling all season

Oh come on Roz. Are you not feeling just a little sleepy 17

What you experienced today is not unusual Parsley. You are 5 weeks or so into the quit and things have been getting easier to manage because you've battled through the constant craving of those very early days and weakened your addiction's strength. Now, you have a lot more "positive days" but your addiction is mad as hell that you aren't feeding it any longer and it will try to bush-whack you hard from time to time over the coming days and even weeks. Not often like in early days but it will challenge your quit commitment when you least expect it. That's how this addiction works. You have to outsmart it. As Jane said - remain always vigilant! Very important during the first few months in particular. Great job though today in meeting the challenge that your addiction threw at you! That's the way to do it. That's the way to craft a lifetime quit
