Hi everyone, I'm a member, but, I'm not here often and most of you don't know me. But I'm here today for a quick thought (okay, maybe not quick, I tend to ramble) I was recently hospitalized with a rare condition called Guillain-Barre Syndrome. After a month in the hospital, I came home 1 week ago. It was scary and very painful, and my recovery will require months of therapy. I am doing so much better and I work hard every day to regain my strength. I'm sure many folks here have gone through serious medical conditions also. I do know that I thought about how happy I was to have quit smoking. I can't imagine for a minute how being a smoker would have effected me. Not just feening for a cigarette, but the severity of my illness, also the recovery being so much more difficult and lengthy. If you are in the beginning of your quit, please stay strong and committed. For your health. KTQ

My "go to" for that first thing in the morning cigarette - The night before, (every night) I planned a small chore (and it was something small, roughly 5 - 10 minutes) When I got out of bed, I brushed my teeth, then did the preplanned chore. It worked for me. Thinking about the quit makes it harder to start. Honestly...just do it. It's up and down, yup it's hard, but you know that going in. You will find lots of tools along the way, but if you don't start you'll never use them. Jump in. You can do it!

I see lots of long term quits of people whom I remember from the early days of my quit,...... Congratulations! To all the newbies, whether you are brand new to your quit or you have already crossed many milestones.......... 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, a holiday, an anniversary, that 1st cigarette of the day, the one before bed, after eating, a stressful situation, an excuse that you powered through.....whatever it may be....I hope that you are proud.....i hope that you are so excited about the strength that you possess...I hope you know what a rock star you are for committing to your quit and making it a top priority. The only way over it is through it.....you are doing it. Congratulations!!! I may not visit the board often, but I do think of the folks here (and my former board) that were such a huge part of my success. When people ask how I finally achieved my sticky quit, I always talk about how this online group educated me and supported me. Absolutely picked me up, held me up and never gave up on me. CONGRATULATIONS TO ONE AND ALL
