Glad you're doing ok @Kris, sure is nice having a Dr in the family I bet?! Thank you for updating us

What an awesome update @Robbie I used to read all my first posts every monthaversary just so I wouldn't forget where I came from! I agree, it was great motivation to keep my quit

@Kris, no that isn't normal to quitting. So its probably best to go to urgent care to get it checked out. Especially if they're as swollen as you said Keep us posted ok?

@Opah, create a ticker above and show her all the money you've saved already!

I craved soft peppermint puffs my first year of quitting lol. I'm a big believer in listening to your body and giving it what it wants and man my body couldn't get enough of them

Is it better at your new job?

@Kris, we all have regrets like that. My father and his younger brother died of Esophageal cancer and Throat cancer respectively within two years of each other and I continued to smoke. My uncle had been quit for a couple years when he was diagnose Try not to be hard on yourself, we can't undo the past but we can try to make our future better. And you're doing just that by quitting

@Kris, yep pretty normal. I had it too. I've also had problems with it at other times when I have too much on my mind. What works for me is taking an OTC sleep aid. I found that just one pill a couple nights in a row was enough to take the edge off and get me back to a more normal sleep pattern. Maybe try that?

I think if I knew I wouldn't be asking?

Are you laughing with them or at them?

Lately they've been daily, how frucked up is that?

Are we still on that he tv shows?

@Kris, I love how well armed you are to conquer those craves!

Oh my @Kris, what a horrible year for you too! I'm so glad you have some relief now! And by quitting you will heal much quicker and slow the progression of COPD. I quit because of breathing issues too and unfortunately not in time to avoid severe emphysema You're doing great!

Happy 100 days @Gus, sorry about the stress of finding a job causing craves. I'll tell you though that an employer who has a choice between a smoker and an ex smoker will almost always hire the ex smoker Its also ok to not be disgusted with the smell. It doesn't mean you're headed toward a relapse. And up until my lung failure I liked the smell of a freshly lit cigarette but the stench of stale smoke on someone.... Good luck with your job search and congratulations on your awesome 100 days!

Ten years is definitely awesome!

Hi @Katgirl how you been?

I've discovered there's some pretty funny commercials on tv

Well done @Dianne! You should be super proud of yourself for standing firm in your quit. That would have given me a huge crave when I was newly quit. You so got this

Woohoo @Robbie, that is great!

@Linda if you go to your profile you'll see them. Looks like they came as part of the update.

I've noticed we have new badges, must be from the update.

Oh that's good, sounds like you have a bunch of stuff to keep your mind occupied.
