Batman, always Batman. he doesn't need to be super. He's used science, physical strength and determination and resilience (which are out of this world) to fight evil. He's made the best of what's available to him. Batman has always been my No.1 and he will always remain so.

@Wren18 One year, WooHoo...that's amazing. What a brilliant quit this is...I do hope you are celebrating today, you deserve it.

-3 Hello Sslip, how are you

Welcome aboard the train Kitano, what a nice time to begin your quit, a new year. Knowledge will be your foremost weapon, read up on all the articles available here, do your own research (I did) and focus on getting through this one crave, one day at a time. All the best on your quit, and if you feel like you're gonna smoke, post an SOS, someone will always be here to help ride out the crave.

Way to go Kate, it's the new year, and time for new awareness maybe in the way we approach our craves and fight this addiction. I think it also links back to the mindful meditation bit somewhere, you gotta focus on the present, and see it for what it is. The "ugly" picture of the smokers life is fact, hence as easy to picture, and focusing on not wanting to end up like that is great motivation. Great post, good thoughts. Keep it up.

Wow, 11 months, just 1 month away from the Lido Deck. What a phenomenal quit you've had, and really admire the support you provide on the forums. Wishing you an amazing 2019 and congratulations.

Yaay Linda, what a way to bring in the new year. 5 months is so so amazing, I am sure you can feel the effects of having a healthier body and mind by now, and it'll only get better. Congratulations and a very Happy New Year to you.

Wishing everyone on the train an amazing New Year, full of health and happiness.

Wow TobacNo, way to go!!! 3 months is amazing, shows how dedicated you are to this quit. Kudos!!!

5 years, oh how you've beaten the Devil, @Devil Doll amazing quit, great resilience. Congratulations, I really hope you celebrate your phenomenal milestone today.

Way to go Al, 9 months is a fantastic achievement...you should be proud of the way you've kept your quit. Congratulations and Cheers to the Lido deck in sight for you.

Underestimate is the key word here, yes don't underestimate the crave, but also, like @Sazerac said, don't underestimate your determination and power to overcome. You have to be strong, like really strong only for 3-5 minutes, and then once the crave passes, you can be back to just keeping your guard up. Your body is trying to get back to the addiction, you gotta just keep pushing back. You are doing great.

Congrats Raidermom on being smoke free for a whole month, that is a big step on the way to your forever quit.
