Hey Newbies, stand up and be counted! Anyone on this board with less than 1 month quit, let's hear from you now! i quit smoking in May of 2017, so I remember very well what it was like to be where you are right now. These last few weeks, I've been inspired to see so many new people here on the board fighting their way through the early days of their quits. It will be great also to see you all in one place. So step forward now!

Congratulations, Latoya! One month is a victory that's for sure. You're well on the road to freedom. Actually, you're already free! Sometimes it takes us a little while to really believe it. KTQ!

JB, I had a similar experience somewhere around month 2-3. I let my thoughts and emotions run wild and it fed the cravings and fueled the romance. And I was miserable. But I held tight to my quit and even though I was miserable and pissed off not understanding why this would happen after x amount of time quit, I just didn’t smoke. Eventually I realized I had allowed those thoughts in and on some level I think I was making it so difficult for myself so that I’d have an excuse to give in. I didn’t though and when I copped to what I was doing to myself the whole dynamic changed. I wouldn’t want it to happen again but having no gone through that has made my quit stronger. You can get through it too JB. Kick that nicodemon to the curb, sweep smoking off the table and any of those romantic images out of your mind and set yourself right. You can do it! You’ll be so glad you did. If you smoke, you’ll be so miserable and broken-hearted that you did.

I agree! It’s so dumb. 3rd day in a row 30 minutes on elliptical. I know it’s not great to do the same thing every day but it’s a great machine and I change the incline and resistance.

Great strategy and outlook, Jon! You keep with it and give yourself a chance to feel the real benefits. Once you do, you won't even want to go back. KTQ!

Great job, Octain! I think we can all relate to the statement, You're absolutely right- it can seem impossible at times but it's true that anyone can and we are all anyones. Your winning attitude will carry you to victory!
