Hi @TONY, glad you're settling in. I'm going to move this thread to our Social forum. Sorry about the loss of your wife. I don't put any decorations out anymore but I do still buy gifts for a couple friends and family.

Hated that movie Love your profile pic @Jordan7

Welcome aboard @TONY, or is it Pat? Congratulations on two weeks quit already, that's awesome! These first few weeks/months can be pretty tough, but they are totally doable as we can all attst too and once you get past them you'll never have to do them again I also suggest checking out our pinned threads on the main board. Lots of good tips and clues to help you. We also have some pretty enjoyable social boards for when you want to get your mind off smoking but still stick close to your support. Reach out to us whenever you need to and definitely if you feel yourself caving to a crave so that we can talk you past it ok?

Boo Quit Date: March 9, 2016 Posted December 8, 2019 One of the greatest gifts the process of quitting gave me was the opportunity to practice detachment on a daily basis. I started thinking about this earlier today after hearing Jocko Willink talk about detachment on a podcast. In fact, the moment I figured out how to separate myself from whatever emotions and thoughts I was having in the moment was the turning point in my quit. It was a struggle before I figured it out. After I figured it out, it has been nothing but smooth sailing. The cravings didn't magically go away when I turned the corner. The odd thought about "the good ol' days when I was a smoker" still popped up from time-to-time. The basic tenets of addiction were still there, I just changed how I reacted. Instead of surrendering to the chaos and allowing the emotional upheaval to dictate my actions, I just took a step back and observed what was really going on. Identified my thoughts as nothing more than a temporary feeling born of decades of addiction. Detaching yourself from the self-defeating thoughts and emotions of addiction allows you to observe what's really going on and make wise decisions. The cigarette is an inanimate object. You are not a smoker. You are someone who used to smoke. Your thoughts have as much or as little power as you give them.
