Great Job Albert! 6 months and halfway to the Lido Deck. This is a big milestone Albert so be sure to treat yourself to something nice Cheers Mate!

I have a friend who's a mortician and he likes smokers!

ate!

You will fill those moments by just saying NOPE every time those thoughts enter your head and by the time you are mowing your lawn next spring ........ you will NOT be thinking about smoking at all through the whole process. A cold brew after it's done maybe but smoking will not be part of your thought process by then if you stay clean from here on It;s why we pledge a full year here in this place. You have to face all the seasonal triggers for a full year through all the seasonal changes before your brain is truly and fully adjusted to life that doesn't include puffing as a reward or as an escape from something.

Thanks for the update Joe! Hope the birthing things goes well next week. Let us know how it turns out. And yes! We all love a few new quitters. The more the merrier

Your Mom sounds very similar to mine, in terms of the things she worries about I just got home from my Mother's place today. She will be turning 98 next month and still lives on her own in a 3 story house. She has been OK up to this point but is starting to have some issues here and there. It's amazing that some of our parents are doing pretty well at pretty advanced ages My mother still lives like it's the Great Depression. She grew up then and some of the things she does now are pretty telling about those times. She will wrap up all left overs from a meal - no matter how few. Nothing gets thrown out - NOTHING! Her compose bin is still brand new after 15 years - never seen a scrap of food - lol! Glad you had a good time celebrating with your Mom!

Nice job MB! Keep moving forward and stay close to this place because things will start to get "old" in your circle of family and friends. It's sometimes referred to as "no man's land". Everyone expects you to be over it by now but you know you are not there yet. The daily challenges will start to lessen but you are now in for the long game. The long game is rewiring your brain to operate normally again without relying on smoking every hour or so. Non-smokers don;t get that part but, we DO! Stay closer than ever through the next few months because you will need the knowledge and support that this place can offer you.

Great work Bakon. Sorry I was MIA on your special day but wanted to extend my congrats none the less. Hope you remembered to reward yourself for this important milestone!

Great Job IP! Celebrate your achievement and keep rolling toward the Lido Deck

Sorry I'm late GITW! Congrats for being just a month away from the Lido deck! You've done an awesome job considering the challenges you have faced along the way. Very proud of you

Sorry I'm late! Huge congrats for reaching double digit territory! Hope you treated yourself to something special because you deserve it not only for your amazing quit but also for all you do for others on this forum

Vaping is nuts! You can adjust the level of nicotine from what I understand and those huge clouds of "vapor" or whatever it is that they expel just looks ridiculous. As others have mentioned, it just seems people who vape take that thing in hand with them all the time! It's crazy. Like a security blanket or something - no thanks!

LOL - It was lovely but unfortunately I had to run out of town suddenly the next morning so I was deprived of the "left-overs" which are sometimes even more awesome than the fresh cook

OMG - My stomach feels like I just swallowed a bag of cement then drank a gallon of water! Eyes are always bigger than the stomach

Ushering in the Autumn Season with a roasted Canadian Pigeon + an unhealthy canister of Brown gravy!! It's a good thing smell doesn't travel over the internet because some of you would be drooling I'm sure
