Blame it on Canada. I don't think Nellie's in Canada but maybe they got her too along with Pixel Sketch? There's weird stuff going on up there these days :o

Some of the symptoms you may be having could last a while but don't fret, they won't last forever. Different stuff arises for all of us and lasts for different lengths of time but eventually, your body will get back to normal - no; BETTER than normal, or at least what you thought was normal when you smoked :) Push forward HN. You're doing great in establishing your quit. And yes, it's a bit of a bumpy ride for the first while but everything will smooth out gradually as your quit grows. The good news is, you'll never have to do this again if you just stick with it :)

Congrats. ExTex! Celebrate that 5 month quit you have built. It doesn't come easy as we all know. Check in soon and say hi! Haven't see you around in awhile.

Haha ... forgot. You are "down under"! We can rely on you to be our "NOPE Starter" as you're in the next day first :) NOPE!

^^^ JK - you will find that posting to other people that are coming along behind you actually helps to make your quit more and more solid. I know I was surprised that it really does work that way. Doesn't matter what you have to say just let others know what your experiences have been, how you were feeling and what you did to beat back the addiction. There's no right answer. It's just a collection of our individual experiences that makes a difference to others :) You're doing great by the way. Glad it's been relatively calm for you. Just keep your guard up, this addiction is sneaky :o

Stewie - this is how we rolled music wise when you were just a glimmer in your father's eye - lol :)

^^ What; the mixing bowl or that weird alien thing attached to your head and your hip??

I tried vaping a few years ago, not to quit but to see what it was like because I thought it might be better than smoking cigarettes? It hurt my throat to inhale whatever was in the little capsules that were in that thing so I threw it aside and just kept smoking cigs until I quit those cold turkey this past Jan. I think the jury is still out on long term effects of vaping. Not sure it's been around long enough in it's present form to have a proper long term study done? It may be true that there are not as many chemicals as with smoking cigarettes but who knows for sure what they are putting in those capsules - I know I don't. Then the other thing is yes, if you have nicotine in your vaping capsules, then you are not getting off the nicotine are you? Also, you are reinforcing the cigarette smoking motions too. Not sure if that's a big deal or not? For me personally, if I'm gonna quit cigs. I don't want to put anything into my body other than food (and maybe beer :) ).

Yay! Yes - be very proud of how you're doing :)

We are all proud of what we have been able to accomplish PT and you should be too!! It's not easy and Doreen is right. There are a lot of people smoking out there who really don't want to anymore but they just haven't been able to muster the courage yet to say; "That's it. I'm done with smoking!!" then followed through with their quit. You have quit now so be proud of that and wear it on your sleeve (so to speak) for all to see :)

Keep going - doing great just push forward no matter what. It will start to get easier once you're through the really tough part :) We all went through it and are still here to talk about it!

NOPE!

Way to go PS!! That's a 1/4 year quit you have going now. Fabulous :) We haven't see you around lately so I assume your just up at the lake relaxing now that summer has arrived in Canada?
