Reciprocity

+1 Morning! Feeling lazy today.

Glad to hear you fought off those unwelcome urges yesterday JKPK. You will have some days for awhile yet that get you down a little but what you did yesterday is prefect. Read all you can about the experiences of others. We are all the same in this battle. Things happen at a different rate for each of us but staying true to the NOPE will lead to success 100% of the time Good to see you BTR & of course Katie, Latoya and Octain too. House full of Newbies - love it!!

NOPE!

WOW, you are 1/2 year quit now Jack! That's impressive. You are also 1/2 way to the Lido Deck so just keep up the good work and you will get there before you know it. Be sure to treat yourself to something a little special today because that 1/2 way mark to a whole year quit is pretty special

fore So it is written, we shall abide by the book! Sticks count 2 for each post, chicks count only 1. It's "in the book"! Five!

That's it M5!! I believe each one of us needs "that moment" when we realize we HAVE to quit; no if's and's or buts! Whether that's or 1st 10th or 20th try. Sooner or later we just get it!

^^^ Yes, none of us were in complete denial but we just needed that one moment that brought the full impact that smoking was having on us into crystal clear focus. That;s what is required for us to finally decide to do something about it. At least - that's my take on it because that's what it took for me to realize I HAD to quit. You have it in the bag this time PT! I know it to be true because of all the things you post and the progression you have made since you became a member of our family. Smoking is so in your past now! From here on to the lido deck, you just gotta be on guard for and "sneak attacks", which are highly unlikely at this point.

I quit one time and one time only. So far, it is intact and I plan that it will be that way for the rest of my life. So; if you are a new quitter trying to say NO to this addiction for the first time in your life, I say .... it is possible! You just have to want to do it badly enough. Like everything else in life, it's really about how much you want it and are you ready to put in the work to get there?

Good thing you posted. I was going to appeal to the international board of "Chicks & Sticks"! OO

Cheaters!!

You misunderstand. The "40 ounce flu" is as a result of this ....................

LOL - Exactly. I have a bad case of the 40 Ounce Flu today

Hang in there JKPK! 1 month is huge and those urges to smoke can't last much longer. Force yourself to think about something else when you find yourself focused on thoughts of smoking. You CAN control your thoughts. Don't let the addiction drag you backward. You've worked too hard and long to go back to the start!

NOPE!

I know what that's like!!

What ever works for YOU Jack!!! All that's important is that we all quit smoking. How ever we get there is up to each one of us individually. Personally, I'm just happy that you are still quit, as I'm sure you are too
