Congratulations on your first month free @FunkyMonkey ! This is a HUGE accomplishment and I hope you treat yourself to something special today.

HUGE congrats to you @intoxicated yoda on a full year quit! You had a tough go of it early on and you persevered all while still supporting your fellow quitters. I'm so glad we get to share this with you

Congratulations on a decade quit @Leanna, that's awesome!

And would a cars trunk lid and hood count as doors? Dishwashers, washing machines, all doors?

@overcome, I believe you have misunderstood what I was pondering. I wondered why I can't look in that horses mouth that was given to me

I've heard the "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth" but never one about a snake. Must be a Canadian thing?

That's great news @FunkyMonkey, YOU ARE DOING SO WELL!

I wonder why you don't look a gift horse in the mouth...

Hi @Jack1664, Congratulations on five years quit! We love when members check in and let us know how they are so thank you for that

Congratulations @Grund, on five years quit! Its good to see you

c9jane29 Posted May 14 Thank you guys so much!! 5 years already?! I love it!! I look back on the last 5 years with so much joy in my heart... I'm glad I saw my quit as a celebration, it has always felt that way...never negative. It changed my life, my kids lives. I volunteer as a Girl Scout Troop Leader...before I would have never done anything like that. I had convinced myself I had too much anxiety or too introverted but all of that was my addiction getting me to fall out so I'd always have time to feed it. I still have my original "why I want to quit" list and my terrible Bob Ross paintings all around the house because my quit will always be a part of me. My husband quit a little after me and he finally had the courage to quit a kitchen job he had been at for 10 years for an accountant position and now he's the supervisor. Believe me when I saw anything is possible! Thanks Quittrain for always being here to celebrate with me... I'll even bring the balloons ❤ Link to original post: https://www.quittrain.com/calendar/event/729-c9jane29-anniversary/?do=findComment&comment=225

@tocevoDSorry to read you went back to full-time smoking. I stop short of calling it a relapse only because you say you've been social smoking the whole time. And now you see why we as addicts can't social smoke. So let's get you quit for good! You have a great group of 2022 quitters to walk beside and of course all of us to lean on when needed

I was the opposite @FunkyMonkey, I would have my worst craves when I was happy or celebrating something but fine when I was mad or sad. I used my air cigarette during those times....

You're doing great @FunkyMonkey

Tink Posted June 6, 2014 · IP The Comfort Zone By Unknown I used to have a comfort zone where I knew I wouldn’t fail. The same four walls and busywork were really more like jail. I longed so much to do the things I’d never done before, But stayed inside my comfort zone and paced the same old floor. I said it didn‘t matter that I wasn’t doing much. I said I didn’t care for things like commission checks and such. I claimed to be so busy with the things inside the zone, But deep inside I longed for something special of my own. I couldn’t let my life go by just watching others win. I held my breath; I stepped outside and let the change begin. I took a step and with new strength I’d never felt before, I kissed my comfort zone goodbye and closed and locked the door. If you’re in a comfort zone, afraid to venture out, Remember that all winners were at one time filled with doubt. A step or two and words of praise can make your dreams come true. Reach for your future with a smile; Success is there for you! Link to original post: https://www.quittrain.com/topic/48-quit-motivationquotes-picturesfunny-or-not/#elControls_286_menu

I think it's giving EVERYONE the brown eye

Lots of rest @BAT, hope you're better soon

I LOVE this post @DenaliBlues, you've done so well these last six months and your contributions are going to help so many, especially this one As far as months 6-12, it's more of doing the same thing you've been doing, getting past most of the craves your first year quit goes through. That's why it still seems a struggle at times. But with each crave conquered the stronger your quit grows and the weaker and easier it'll be the next time.

That's great news @11better11,

Wow @reciprocity, I can't tell you how many times I put cigarettes out in potted plants!

You could watch some funny commercials or look through the joke thread @Linda, those always make me smile Hang in there, hopefully tomorrow will be better...........

Awesome @FunkyMonkey, thanks for checking in

Congratulations @DenaliBlueson half a year quit! That is so awesome, I hope you treat yourself extra special today

That's awesome @Doreensfree, I'm really happy for you guys

@FunkyMonkey, how are you doing?
