Reciprocity

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 :(

Jacqueline - you still with us? Check in and let us know how you're doing. We tend to be a little bit "mother henish" around here with our newbies. We just want you to succeed :)

Just hoping Nancy doesn't show up :P 15

Congratulations Raidermom23 - 1 month smoke free is fantastic! That first month is the hardest one to get through for sure. Be sure to celebrate by treating yourself to something special and nice. Rewarding yourself along the way is an important part of the ongoing quit. Set your targets then reward yourself as you reach them. Proud of you girl!!

I'm gonna say #2 is the lie? 1. I have been to Africa 2. I have driven a race car on a race track 3. I have ridden in a helicopter I will PM you about the picture thing. Are you using a P.C.?
