Congrats Joe, 1 year is an awesome achievement. You truly deserve to take some time to reflect and celebrate...

DV congrats on the 1 month. Learning to deal with the craves in the early weeks of your quit can be difficult but can be overcome, it was that way with me. I learned with each difficult crave that I was able to overcome the stronger I got. Craves will diminish somewhat over the next few weeks but they can come out of no where so learn from these and come here when the craves get strong. The other thing that will happen is that the craves will be less and less and you will be able to overcome them in a matter of a couple of minutes. Keep strong, you are doing well.

In my shoes it seemed like I always thought about trying to quit. I finally came to the point that I had to quit not try to quit -- that was a turning point for me. Thanks for your post on this subject -- really hit home.

Lml, I think that you are doing well in this quit. You realize to come here when you need some help or advice. I went cold turkey so I can't answer any questions about NRT. I would like to add do anything you can to help your quit. As the pig lover stated the hardest and longest part is getting over the mental part and "re-wiring" your brain which the NRT can help, the physical or withdrawal part only takes a few days and the NRT may help shorten that. Anyway your at almost week on your quit-- keep strong.

Welcome aboard for this awesome journey. Congrats on your quit so far. Just to know the progress you see to this point even gets better so keep going. Lots of good people here that will be willing to help you along with this journey

Lml -- welcome aboard, glad to have you along for this journey. Yes it is day by day but those days add up pretty quickly. I am 64 now and just quit a few short months ago (I went cold turkey). However you make your quit successful and make it work for you is good -- so long as you do not pick up another cig and light it up. It looks like you have the right attitude. Remember to use deep breathing techniques and drink plenty of cold water. Also come here to educate yourself, reach out to others, to have fun, and most importantly do the daily "NOPE" pledge -- it really does help. The celery stick thing, yes I was there but, at least it was a celery stick (and so many of those). You can do this

Filling the time -- I found that a challenge at first but now find it exhilarating and a sense of freedom to choose what I really want to do. Sunny you will get there and you will express joy after each crave knowing that you have won and getting better. You are doing well.

Farmgirl -- welcome aboard on this journey. As you show how each of us succeeds in their quit is different and what works for them is what is important. Congrats on the 4 months and keep going.

NOPE!!! And yes great job on the 3 months Cat Lover, this is a big day of your quit. When I hit 3 months I felt I was gaining some good control.

John glad you went back to the quit. Posts like yours helps me to be aware of what can happen if my "stupid thinking" kicks in. You are doing a brave thing, keep going you can do this.

^^^Staying strong, it is just the stupid dreams. They are so realistic and does seem like I have broken the quit -- though just in the dream, in reality I intend to smoke no more no matter how strong the lure.

I almost took the bait too. But I know where Bakon might be coming from because the same thing happened to me in the last few days.
