Congratulations on four months @Slow progress, you're doing great!

^^THIS!!^^

Great news Glen

Yay @MLMR, I'm so glad you got past this! Everyone gave you such good advice and as you can see we all know how much times like that sucked.... They'll soon start getting fewer and farther in between so hang in there

Welcome to the train @Glenninindy and congratulations on your four year quit, that's awesome Sounds like you have COPD which you would have to get diagnosed from your dr or pulmonologist. Maybe its time to make an appointment?

@Kdad, sorry to hear about your divorce and relapse. I agree with Reciprocity. Plus there's nothing better than improving yourself to an ex who probably expected you would start smoking again right?! I'm glad you're back, let's get you your forever quit

Aw man stew, hopefully the new hospital will get you fixed up once and for all..........

5. Take gum off your shoe

Wow Bri, what a close call. I agree with everyone else, be proud of yourself for destroying them. That's a HUGE step forward in your quit, especially since you were drinking too You have nothing to be but proud of yourself

Soberjulie Posted April 16, 2014 In other words, begin where you are. But begin. Please stop waiting. Sometimes delay can have very serious consequences. As an addict I wanted the parade, the grand announcement, the regal launch, the ceremonial countdown, the press conference, the complete preparation with the guarantee of success before I thought I could start......before I could visualize what starting even looked like. Working through these things, waiting to make them happen, burns through precious time. And it is a trick.....a trick that addiction plays to keep us enslaved. Begin where you are, but begin. If all you can do is crawl, start crawling. One moment at a time, if you don't pick up that cigarette you'll be up and dancing eventually. (Though at first, most of us tend to complain about the music a bit till we find our own rhythm, but that's okay too. It's just a mask for our fear of being judged for how we dance. Stay on the dance floor and that will fall away.) Link to original post: https://www.quittrain.com/topic/698-are-you-thinking-of-quitting/

Very much so stew...................

Congratulations Stew, isn't it amazing how much we smoked and didn't even realize or want to realize it at the time?!

Wow @Stewbum, what a night just back from the hospital I'm sorry you're dealing with all that right now but so proud of you for protecting your awesome quit I hope things get better for you.....

Happy Fathers Day @Cbdave

Sounds like chewing tobacco to me and having known two people who died from cancer of the mouth because of chew that's as dangerous as it can get. It was horrible too as both these guys had parts of their mouths slowly removed to try to stop the spread. They lost their tongues, their teeth, and much more but it wasn't enough and they died. Also, since they suck on it they can use it anywhere I would imagine meaning they could be getting a lot of nicotine everyday.

Happy birthday @Gus!

3. Take adhesive off metal

Goulash tostados

10. Works great at cleaning resin out of pot pipes lol How about finger nail polish remover

Yes @Stewbum, she was at qsmb too. She has a lot of good posts.

Boys

Well done MLMR

Sorry about your news @Brioski. Your cravings are probably a combination of both the changing seasons and the diagnosis. Remember, you smoked for years so its going to take some time to get past triggers. Realistically you may get a craving after a year or more quit. The difference is that they have no real power anymore and are easily swatted away. You're doing great Bri so be super proud of yourself

Congratulations on a decade quit @Gemzee, that's AWESOME!!!
