That's why I quit in January. Was just tired of being so sick for the entire month so in retrospect, that one was a blessing I've had a cold once since then and it didn't last as long as they usually do. Hope you feel better soon

There have been a lot of good contributions to this thread. That's a good thing in my mind. We are all learning about this quitting thing and each other too. Sometimes under trying emotional circumstances that we all go through in the early part of our quits. We all have the same goal in the end.

Kind of pissed that it's snowing but thankful I don't have to go out in it just to smoke

Good for you Pumpkin! A nice reminder of just how far you've come when you can pick up a cigarette look at it then just chuck it out with the trash

You're still hanging in there I see Albert. That's great It takes some time but is so worthwhile in the end. You will wonder why you didn't do it sooner. Keep pushing forward with your quit!

To all our American friends, a wish for a very Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow! Gathering with family and friends, lots of great food and a chance to give thanks for the many bounties in life, not the least of which is the great decision we all made to quit smoking! Hope you all enjoy the day

Congratulations Tracey. 4 Years quit is fabulous!! Hope you celebrate today.

Way to go BKP!! 2 Years is awesome and something to be very proud of accomplishing. I know your life has changed dramatically for the better because of your decision to quit. Thanks for sharing your continued journey with us and giving back to the newbie quitters (like me)! It means a lot There's many ways to celebrate. Give them all a try!

Wow JKPK! 1st month is absolutely the hardest part of this quitting thing and now that is behind you Only better days ahead so celebrate your hard work and reward yourself for a job well done!

Congratulations on reaching the 4 month mark of your quit Jayhawk! Celebrate your hard work today

Hey KT! 2 months is a great start to being smoke free for life! Take that fabulous start and build on it by doing exactly what you are doing now. Celebrate this milestone then .... back to work

NOPE!

Nope

^^^ Amen!

^^^ I tend to agree! Absolute resolve to quit is the key. You are either committed to it or you aren't! It is nice to be able to communicate with a bunch of other people going through the same experience though Kind of keeps you pointed in the right direction. Another quit tool?

4 years is a great achievement. Congrats Joe

6 months is a huge milestone PT - congratulations! I bet you are finding things a lot easier now and a lot more enjoyable too. Be sure to reward yourself and then carry on the the back half of getting that 1st year under your belt

I still get the odd pretty strong craving to smoke after 9 months quit. These don;t come daily by any means but just occasionally. They come from nowhere and last for mere seconds and is not brought on by any identifiable trigger - just when I'm going about some mundane daily life routine. It's just enough to get my attention and it scares me a little bit because I figure those should all be gone by now but, it's gone in an instant leaving me wondering .... WTF? I don't see this as being a big issue, not like it was early on in my quit but it does go to show just how powerful this addiction really is - to me anyway. I won't smoke ever again in my life I know that. Throwing away all the work I have done this year would just not be acceptable no matter what

Congratulations to you sir on your 6 year anniversary! 6 years is impressive to say the least and something others can look to as what is possible to achieve.

^^^ Something special for yourself & a much needed service for animal friends - absolutely perfect Pumpkin

Congratulations Jess! 2 months is great. Treat yourself to something nice today then ..... back to work
