@Gabes is who designed a few of the logos. Maybe he'll see this and be able to help out again if that's what you guys decide on for your year logo

That's it right there @Brioski and @darcy. I stuck close to home for a month because I was worried I would stop and buy cigs and when I did finally venture out I took my never smoker husband with me to keep me honest. Keep getting your feelings off your chest by posting as it helps not only you guys but others coming behind you. I used to go back and read all my posts each month from when I started my quit just so I wouldn't forget where I came from. Unfortunately that forum imploded and many of us lost our content

@Brioski, im hoping today is a little better for you. Please keep reminding yourself that what you're going through is completely normal this early in your quit. Some people cry a lot and some people get irritated much easier and then there's the lucky ones who have loads of extra energy and carry on their life like they never smoked. I just kept telling myself over and over that this too shall pass and all good?(?!) things must come to an end. I'm so sorry about your dad. I lost my dad and my uncle (his brother) from smoking related cancers and still continued to smoke until my breathing was so bad I HAD to quit. You don't want to get to that point trust me....

Congratulations @darcy on another month quit! You're doing great and I hope you're treating yourself to something special today

Congratulations on one full month quit @Brioski! That is AWESOME!!! And thank you for being so supportive of your fellow quitters, it's appreciated

DenaliBlues Quit Date: 2/10/2022 Posted 16 hours ago So sorry you are ill and feeling skunky, @Linda. I’ve felt the same way. This wily addiction sure likes to try and strike when we are feeling low or unawares. Stay strong! Bear with me as I try to express something for you, for me, for all of us who suffer… there is something important about “comfort” that quitting requires us to reclaim. I think smoking hijacked our ability to feel comfort. Instead of receiving tender care, we received ugly toxins and the manipulative mind games that come with addiction. Smoking was much less gratifying than it was cracked up to be. But Addict Mind wants to smoke anyway. So it’s telling me (falsely) that I am bereft of all comfort. The thing is, we are not bereft. We just need to reprogram how we’re habituated, to give ourselves ACTUAL kindness and care, not crappy chemical substitutes. There are days when it feels impossible to experience being soothed without smoking. But I try. It’s a great creative challenge to find other ways. And when I simply can’t comfort myself, I benefit from attempting to give kindness or comfort to others. I have VERY happy cats since I quit… lol.

@Brioski first don't ever feel sorry for how you are doing. We get it. Try to realize that you're not even a month quit yet. Your body is still adjusting and cleaning up all those chemicals it had been ingesting for all those years. Unfortunately its not a quick process because of that. And it's not just the nicotine our body's are working to clean, its literally 1000's of chemicals that were in those cigarettes! We have a one year commitment pinned to the top of the main forum that I and many others take because that's how long you can expect it to take to get past most the triggers any given year brings. Keep in mind that as you progress in your quit it will get easier, I promise! So slap your husband for mentioning going back to smoking and use this as a reminder of why you DON'T want to relapse

@tocevoD, I'd like to remind you of your post from August of 2022 where you stated that the next day would be the day to quit once and for all: I remind you of this to help you realize that maybe just checking in to document your progress is not enough to insure your forever quit. If nothing else maybe come on to NOPE for the day to reaffirm your commitment to not smoke.

Congratulations @Gus on another year quit! And thank you for sticking around with your awesome support. I hope you have a GREAT day!
