That's a good thing Remember that feeling because it will become your new normal the longer you stay quit! Don't be disappointed if it fades suddenly. That's just part of the process of getting back to normal. Your addiction will try and make you feel insecure still in the hopes you will light one up again. You won't though because you're smoke-free now That feeling of control, will revisit you more often now as you continue to NOPE!

If you have learned a lesson because of what happened to you on the weekend and can put that to use in your new quit then that's a good thing. You shouldn't worry about what others might think but be only concerned for your own well being and that would include a successful quit! That one should be at the top of your list for a better life. You did all the planning before so, let's get you off those smokes for good. Stay close to this place for the first while anyway. Support and education about smoking is important in the early days. Welcome back Lilly

Nope!

That was last week. Me and Pork Chop practicing for when Buttocks joins us for the Threesome

Are they talking about Pork Chop?

Yes. Try anything and everything to get into a new mindset. You never know what might work to relax you a little more.

Yes! That's what we're talking about. Doesn't need to be fancy or expensive. Just something special that you will enjoy

Sorry to hear you're having sleep issues. That really does wear thin pretty quickly. Hope you find a solution to it soon and get some much needed rest. Some of the quit symptoms we have to go through in the early days are certainly annoying but in the end, well worth it considering the benefits you will gain. Freedom from this addiction does not come easily but it is there for all who are strong enough to pay their dues. Fight on Pumpkin! You'll get there

^^^ Nothing wrong with being busy with life Kelly. That's kind of why we quit this horrible addiction so we have more time on this earth to do just that

LOL - Yeah. He probably left the stadium on his own to go home and pack up all his worldly belongings. There'll be no living in Houston for that guy after his ill-advised catch attempt May have cost them 2 runs? We'll never know for sure.

Sorry for your loss Jim. It's great you have the pride of your freedom from bowing to your addiction to look to for comfort. I know the feeling as I too went through some stressful times this summer and never even considered lighting one up It's great to reach that point in your quit!

Hi GM456! Welcome aboard the Quit Train You are giving yourself the greatest gift of all by quitting this horrible addiction. Please read all you can here and watch some of the videos too. Educating yourself about nicotine addiction is very important in your effort to quit. Hope to see you around more once you start your quit.

Congratulations on being 5 years smoke free MQ That's gotta be a special one for sure. You have shown your character and determination not only in your own quit but by providing a place where so many others have and will benefit from the knowledge and support this board provides. Thanks so much for that! I certainly hope you find a way to celebrate this occasion in a way that is meaningful to you
