Yes! You're doing great Parsley!! You are about 8 or 9 days quit now? That;s awesome as that first week is the worst of it for sure. The whole 1st month was a bit of a head turner for me to tell the truth but that 1st week was the worst of it. Things will gradually settle down some for you and become easier to manage over the next week or so. Just keep pushing forward. Maybe also go back and enter a quite date in your profile so we can follow your progress better and help you celebrate your milestones. You deserve to be recognized for your efforts and besides, it's fun to have us all fawn over you for a bit - lol. Anyway, great work - keep it up!!

I know. We were moving in for the kill late yesterday now this? Crazy!!

1 Gotta Go now.................

Jeez 3

My lie was #1 - never been to Africa (yet). Hummm ....... Not #3 cuz you mentioned entertaining and food was involved ................................ I'm gonna go with #2 being the lie Although any of those are pretty cool :) 1. I have always driven vehicles with only standard transmissions. 2. I love Pizza 3. I have had rabies once from a bat bite.

If you see one of these signs - run like hell unless you have a big gun and lots of ammo. They aren't as far south as Banff though.

Nice that weekends are now smoke-free, even if they do go by as fast as before :)

Not Fair ..................... you ARE the moderator - D'oh!!

Hey - We sticks will stand for none of this blatant recruiting! I'm reporting you to a moderator!!

Yeah - Way to go J :) That first week is the worst usually so now that you're done with it, things should start to get a little less intense. You've learned all those coping techniques that first week so just use them along the way. Stay close to the "Quit Train" for awesome support and continue reading and educating yourself about this addiction. That will serve you well :) Well done Girl!!

NOPE! Snow snow, go away. Don't you know it's the first of May!!

Hi Julian and welcome to our community of "quitters"!! You have made the best decision of your life to quit smoking completely. Many think they can just cut down or maybe just have one once and a while. Not true and can't be done. Smoking is an addiction and that addiction demands to be fed regularly. By quitting completely, you will starve that addiction and eventually beat your addiction down to the point where it will be just a memory. Going on vacation may be the best time to start your quit actually. You'll be out of your normal routine so the normal smoking triggers you have won't be there in the same way as if your were at home. This, and being around other non smokers could be a benefit to you. Spend as much time before then on this site and read as much as you can about this addiction. There's a ton of videos as well on smoking. Education about this addiction and your resolve to not smoke will be keys in a successful quit attempt. Look forward to following you on your journey. There's a lot of great people here who will all lend you support along the way.

Banff is nice. Especially that time of year. We call that "going south" where I come from - lol.

That's great J !! Happy you are still on track and .................... on the Quit Train :D

5 Weather is off & on. Rain one day; snow the next - crazy s**t. Will improve in the next month tho.

3 The snow shovel is still my friend !! :P

Sweet dreams Pumpkin :) You're doing great on your quit!!

2 How's the lawn? I gotta cut mine too one day soon. If the temp would just stay above 0 for a bit??

Hey Pumpkin! How you doing?

We're gonna have our way while we can. It's not fair to begin with. Only chicks are quitting these days. That puts us at a disadvantage :(
