You're doing so well Darcy I just wanted to remind you about our SOS board. Come on here and post you're struggling so we can help you off the ledge. It works if you really want to save your quit

Great update @darcy, I'm really glad to hear that you're using your tools and taking your husband along with you to keep you honest You are succeeding!!

Hey @Kdad, its good to hear from you Congratulations on over eight months quit, you're doing great! Urges are still to be expected unfortunately but should be getting much easier to get past at this point

SueBeDoo Quit Date: 29th september 2013 Posted October 24, 2014 · IP I was one of those people that quit smoking more times than i care to remember and i always gave in at the first sign of a crave. But this time when i quit, i got through each crave and do you know what, i felt euphoric for making it, it is the best feeling ever, you have the strongest urge to smoke but you hang tight and do not give in and the high you feel is just amazing. Cant beat a free buzz :pleasantry: when i would wake up the next morning after not giving in i would be on cloud nine all day,Got to the point were i was looking forward to getting a crave because i knew the feeling i would get when the crave went was priceless, no cigarette can give the same feeling. I promise you it is fab, Give it a try quit now and see how you feel when you get through the really tough ones, you will feel a million times better than if you had gave in and smoked. When a crave hits face it head on say come on do your worst, is that the best you can do and try laugh through it. You owe it to yourself to give 1oo% to your quit xxxx :give_heart: :dance2: Link to original post: https://www.quittrain.com/topic/3233-give-it-a-try/

Hey @darcy, we call that brain fog and its only temporary so keep up the good work and you'll be through it in no time. Glad the air cigarette is working for you

10. Tear more holes in them like they're meant to be split How about tile

@darcy, you can't be so quick to cave to a crave if you want to succeed. I stayed home my whole first month quit because I didn't trust myself to not stop and buy a pack. Then when I did go out I brought someone who didn't smoke with me to keep me on my quit. I also used my air cigarette whenever I craved and was surprised at how well an invisible cigarette was at tricking my mind into thinking it was getting the real thing. Quitting is going to suck for a bit but then it's over with and you're done stinking, wasting money and further damaging your health. And like Denali blues said you'll be:

Congratulations on almost two years @Amy R. What a great update, thank you for checking in

Tink Quit Date: 22/11/2013 Posted April 13, 2014 I am not a social media buff, I only have facebook where its my family and friends, people I have known most my life or who I trust and feel comfortable around (I only have about 150 friends added) I was not good on computers, I can be a bit of a technology phobic - so why did I join a quit smoking forum? I really wanted to quit smoking is the answer and I did not feel that I could do it alone, I was looking for support, my whole family smoked and I needed support away from that environment, some place where I could just concentrate on me and my quit, no judgement, no keeping quiet about it and if I needed to moan or was going through a hard time, there was going to be someone looking out for me and keeping me on the straight and narrow when the going got tough because those people supporting had the same goal as me or had walked the path before me. As soon as I joined I was warmly welcomed and I felt apart of the place straight away I quickly learned that education, support and understanding played a huge part in me quitting smoking being around ex smokers who have no other interest but to help you quit smoking, no monies are to be made here, no corporate fog, no quit smoking tea is being sold here, its just truth and experiences and support and that gave me confidence and trust. Its just us ex smokers here, helping each other, educating each other and the thing I love the most is this forum is run by ex smokers I hope that if you are thinking about quitting or have quit and are looking for what I was to help you then please consider joining - I have not regretted one single second of my experience here on QuitTrain.

Just got done downloading and then uninstalling a game on my smartphone because the privacy agreement pretty much says that they're going to sell my information to anyone they can as well as collect any data they can from any account of mine they can access. And if that wasn't bad enough the policy was the size of a book with links to links to read about whatever. California even had our own link so of course I clicked on that thinking ok this is where it says they don't sell any of my info because California doesn't allow it. Nope, just more detailed explanation of what and how exactly they are going to do it lol. I generally look over the privacy policies but rarely read them word for word and this ones you would literally need a week to go through as each link had its own drawn out description. It was the weirdest privacy policy I have ever read but I have to hand it to their honesty lol.
