Going strong at 2 months -- Fantastic job. Keep strong and take a little time to celebrate today you deserve it!!!!

DizzyD 4 months quit -- awesome job. Congrats and take some time to celebrate today!!!

Congrats on the first day Edy -- focus on one day at a time, deep breathing, cold water and doing the daily NOPE pledge it will help as well as coming here often!!!!

And it continues. Anyway to promote their product. So Sad. (as a side note I got and ad from Juul stating that they are going to stop producing and shipping flavored nicotine products to their retailers, why not any of their products -- shows money is more important) !!!!

OK I had to try the pirate name generator -- not sure if I can go with but here it is ---- Rum Balls Joe.. Don't think this is good for martian's!!!!

And maybe more of us should, I too will commit myself to volunteer for local clean ups. We have a clean up the beach a couple times of year and this is for sure one I will work on ( have you ever seen how many butts are on the beach)!!!!

I have to admit that I always wondered about this as I smoked -- and yes I was part of the problem. I believe that cigarettes have caused more harm than what we have ever thought. This is hard to wrap my head around but something I have to look deep inside myself as to the consequences. This is something to follow up on and move forward with!!!!

NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Edy welcome aboard. Just focus on the here and now then make the commitment to quit -- one day at a time. Then come here often to educate and socialize -- it will truly help!!!!!

Fantastic job on the 10 month mark. Your are going strong and that 1 year mark is just around the corner. Congrats and again make sure you take some time to celebrate your success!!!

Yes I also thought the first couple of weeks seemed like months. When I found this group it helped me get thru those "long days". But as each day passed I saw new benefits and that really helped me get thru the worst. Keep going girl you are strong and you are doing this!!!

Kdad 10 months already -- getting closer to the Lido Deck, should be seeing the lights soon. Congrats on a great job and remember to take some time to celebrate today!!!

NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!

^^^^^ Yes Diane your first NOPE. Come here daily to make the pledge, it may seem corny but it really helped me and I still come here daily!!!!!

I concur with Jillar -- there are several things you will go thru the first several days off of cigarettes. The fatigue got to me a bit -- did not expect it, what I did was rest. Again drink lots of fluids -- cold if you can and use deep breathing techniques they really help. Again check out the site and all of its information as it can really help you understand what is going on. If anything seems really out of place it cannot hurt to discuss with your doctor. Congrats on the first day!!!!

Yes -- look at this as one day at time, they add up quickly. You will get to the point where you think less and less about smoking but it takes some effort to get there. Again focus on that one day and you can do this!!!

Welcome aboard on this journey eight toe Joe. It does look like you are committed to this. As said above the brain fog can be there (I had it) and it can last for a bit but it does go away. I did use sweets to help with the cravings and the low blood sugar and used plenty of cold water (you can use juice), those things helped as well as taking short walks and deep breathing techniques -- they can help with the brain fog as well. Stay close to the site and do a lot of reading, there is a lot information here that can help you educated yourself about the addiction and quitting. Keep Strong!!!!

NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad to have you back. Stay focused we know you want this -- just stay close!!!!

Congrats on the 3 month mark -- awesome job now go out and celebrate some!!!

Congrats on the 3 month mark -- past the terrible 3's and going strong on the quit now, awesome job!!!!

You are in the first week and as said above it is tough and it sucks but you can get thru it-- just stay focused, use deep breathing techniques and drink cold water when a crave comes on and use the air cigarette. It takes some time to go thru the process -- no magic bullet here just determination. It does get better week by week and as you celebrate those milestones and the monthly ones then you see your own control and determination wins out !!!!

NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I guess you can say age thing -- I think more not into Red Hot Chili Peppers but if that is all about age then so be it. Still kind of like there version though!!!!

4 years -- fantastic work. Congrats!!!!!
