-14 I thought you only ate donuts

Made bbque beef sliders with a side of chips for dinner, yummy! In other news, is it weird that I found Jakes avatar kinda cute?

Yes and it tastes best with cream and sugar Hair from what breed of dog cures a hangover?

Heard that too

Fixin to watch Avatar finally for the first time. Heard it was good and it has four stars so... Fun fact: I usually prefer the one star movies

@Sunshine, insomnia is pretty common when quitting. I took a OTC sleep aid a couple times to help get me back on track. I always say listen to your body when quitting. If it wants rest, rest, sleep, sleep, eat then eat.... It's doing a lot of work trying to clean up the years of gunk smoking left!

@Sunshine, here is step by step directions with screenshots to make a ticker https://www.quittrain.com/topic/15042-creating-a-ticker/

Flock of birds

That's great news @JudiMD, I'm so glad to hear they got it all and you're still smoke free. Your Dr must have been thrilled to hear you quit

Love it @KEL glad you had a great day

Woohoo @Gus, last monthaversary before the big anniversary! I'm so excited for you I hope you have a great day and spoil yourself a little!

Great decision @Oslo, you got this!

@nicotine_free, don't be ashamed if you're using the gum! A lot of people get their successful quit by using it and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Your ticker says since your last cigarette, not since you last had nicotine in your system. Keep your user name because you will be nicotine free, you just need a little help right now. Have a plan to when you'll start reducing the gum you use each day and go from there

Vent all you need to, that helped me tons! Hope your hand feels better. I get those terrible bruises with even the slightest hit to my arms. Staying close to home is also what I did in the early days, I just didn't trust myself! Looks like you're doing everything needed to make this your forever quit

It'll pass @Kdad, try using the air cigarette to trick your brain or do something that you never smoked while doing. That helped me a lot. I didn't smoke in my car so I would get in and drive around the block and as soon as I started driving the crave went away.

That damn addiction of ours will try anything to suck us back in. Poor pathetic thing doesn't stand a chance in hell while we're awake!! I had one not too long ago but they don't phase me. I look at dreams like I'm watching a movie though and sometimes I'm the star lol

Hear me out

Fun and games

I agree 100% with what @KEL said sunshine. It IS normal to have those feelings. Most of us either feel depressed or angry when quitting. And definitely anxious. You have to learn what to do with yourself and all the free time you have now, that's part of the anxiety. But the good thing is that it's all temporary and with time quit will pass. You're doing great
