You could have started a new trend with two different colored shoes

I sometimes wear two different shoes when I don't want anyone to talk to me

Channeling all my energy levels Level

Let's make a run for it

Don't all new shoes come in twos?

NOPE!

Yep me too lol. Nice ticker @Vivianne, five hours already! Well done

Ok, let's address these triggers as I see it: Being alone: You have us now so stick close, there's usually someone here around the clock. Friends that smoke: Smokers hate losing one of their own that's why they're more than happy to give you that relapse cigarette. You will get to the point that you can be around them but it's best to distance yourself from them in the beginning of your quit. Long car rides: This is where your air cigarette comes n handy. Some use cut straws, pens, even licorice to mimic a cigarette. Mine was invisible so I never had to worry about forgetting it somewhere. It's important that when you use it you go through the motions of 'smoking' it just like you would a real cigarette. It worked great at tricking my mind into thinking it was getting the real thing. The after-workout- cigarette: Bring yourself a healthy snack instead. You can't eat and smoke at the same time Phone calls: Again try using your air cigarette or talk somewhere that you normally don't smoke Sex: Air cigarette again or sucking on candy Food related triggers: Air cigarette or sucking on a piece of candy. I was stuck on soft peppermint puffs my whole first year. I hope some of these clues help you out, you can do this, after all you've done it before

Let's examine somebody

Drinking every drop

Welcome Christian and congratulations on deciding to quit. For me the first three days were actually the easiest. I still had nicotine in my system but come that fourth day and I started to struggle. But since I was determined to succeed I stuck close to home and only ventured out when my never smoker husband could go with me because I didn't trust myself to not stop and buy a pack. It wasn't until I found a forum with others who also gave up this nasty addiction that I started feeling better and more confident in my being able to do this. Being a part of a group who knows what you're going through and supports you are key. At least for me and hopefully you'll find the same true for you. Everyone's quit is different but the same. We all have to go through the misery, some worse than others. Having the right mindset and your young age on your side will help a bunch

Congratulations on six years quit MQ, and thank you for creating this site to help others quit as well. I hope you have a great day!

Welcome Vivian and congratulations on taking your freedom back. You've been given great advice so I'll just add that if you feel yourself caving to a crave, post in our SOS forum. We'll come running to try our best to help you through it and save your quit

Late afternoon tryst, evening rendezvous Tryst

One went neurotic

Hi @ForeverLost, the bun in my profile pic isn't mine but the one on my cover pic was. I love the colors of yours So are you ready to jump on and throw those smokes away? Cutting down never worked for me. But what did help when I decided I was going to quit was not smoking in my usual areas. That way when I did quit I could go into those areas and not worry about getting a crave

You shot yourself in the foot

Santa's elves revolted

I think if we all share in doing the celebrations then no one has to feel obligated to. If we see one or know someone is too shy to post their own we can post it for them. Team work makes the dream work

Shots for everyone!
