Reciprocity

Please tread carefully when it comes to the booze if you are early on in your quit. There have been more relapses related to over indulging with alcohol than I care to count.

Great to see you noping OBM! That's the critical requirement to quitting for good - Not One Puff Ever

Yes, that's the way to do it OBM! Read all you can in the pinned threads on the Quit Smoking Discussion Page and watch the Joel videos that cover a wide range of topics related to quitting. Education about how this addiction works and why it does nothing good for you is a key to quitting! By the way ..... welcome to our family of quitters

NOPE!

Congratulations Ellen for getting through the toughest week of all It's a pretty bumpy ride at times but you have been busy learning those coping skills that will get you to your permanent quit! It can be pretty exhausting at times for sure but you just need to keep pushing forward. Push forward and stay with the NOPE and you'll make it!!

Congratulations Jules on reaching that 1st month milestone. As you know, that one is the toughest to get through. Be sure to celebrate your achievement today! Keep up the great work

To all my new 2017 friends at Quit Train I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and I hope 2018 delivers good health and happiness to all of us. Take time to relax and enjoy the season with family and friends - enjoy folks!

That's great Latoya You have come a long way since your decision to quit. Be sure to remember that because you have a lot invested in your quit now! Protect that investment at all costs!! I remember that first part of my quit where time seemed to almost stand still. It was annoying! As T2B said, brain dead (I called it brain fog - same thing) and seemingly a constant fighting of the urges to smoke. It IS all normal and it DOES get better the further you go into your quit, Unfortunately, it doesn't happen as quickly as we would like but, IT DOES HAPPEN for everyone who stays with NOPE. You will continue to have good days and some not so great days but, you have now developed the tools to fight for your freedom from this addiction. You ARE doing it now big time! Your Mom is 1 week smoke free tomorrow too! I'm sure you two are supporting each other a lot and we are thrilled that both of you are part of our community. I'll post something up in the celebrations thread for her tomorrow morning because she deserves a little recognition for reaching the 1 week mark. She's doin' great too

This is exactly right We don't even call it Whisky where I live - it's referred to as Rye. Most mix it with cola, ginger-ale 7-up, sprite or water. Rarely taken neat or on the rocks only. Scotch though is a whole different story. Neat or rocks is the only acceptable methodology in that circle ... well, scotch shooters at weddings are also acceptable (encouraged actually, assuming you are not driving or need to be functional next day)

I dunno .... I just like the taste, a lot

No video loaded here that I can see.

LOL "Durty Tike"? I guess I gotta get Wee Mee to translate that one for me?

Have a Great Smoke Free Christmas & New Year T2B

I have it and ..... it's for sale!! You interested?

Big Congratulations on reaching your 3 year milestone RunFree! That's an amazing achievement and worthy of great celebration And, nothing says celebration like fireworks right? Ok so, needs more practice? Thanks too for sticking around and helping us newbies along the road to our own personal freedom. Now that's a gift worth giving!

Happy Non-Smoking Birthday Ellen - truly something to celebrate today Oh and, NOPE for me too!!

I hit my limit a while ago for using the new "load from your hard drive" feature so I now use a hosting site and link to that as JB indicated above. I tried to delete some of the content I had loaded direct from my hard drive but was unsuccessful. The only issue going that route is I have to go back in through edit and back out the http prfix that appears to the left of the meme or gif I've just posted. And yes, I agree. Posting without memes or gifs would be a little dull

Two (that's 2) wins today by the Sticks. That means, chicks have to do our poopy laundry for a week now

OH .............

I never associated Christmas or New Year with smoking so I'm not too worried. Now drinking?? Maybe ................ I agree though. Sometimes "family gatherings" can cause some stress as well so you DO need to be aware and remain on your guard!
