Congratulations TobacNo. It is so exciting seeing you hit the Lido Deck. So glad to watch you make this journey. Celebrate and enjoy your smoke free life!

Congratulations Kdad. I knew you would make it. Hitting that year mark really makes it sink in that smoking is in the distant past. I hope you are celebrating with your family. You deserve it!

My husband loves tabouli. I just picked the florets off of a huge batch of parsley. It only took me an hour and a half. He hates the store bought kind because of all the stems. It is such a light refreshing salad. I used to think it was not worth the work until my granddaughter fell in love with it also. Now Grandma loves making it! My husband is Lebanese. Many of the Mediterranean dishes are very healthy.

Hi Christine. I too felt like you for half of my life. I was so ashamed of smoking that I became a closet smoker. I became very isolated and depressed and never thought I could quit. I stumbled across this forum and it changed my life forever. This wonderful group of people showed me the path to freedom. They held me up, when the going got tough, and made sure I crossed the finish line. They showed me that I had the power to change my life. Let us help you. Yes there will be a tough couple of weeks, but the rest is just a mind game of redirecting those cravings. Educate yourself, play a few games and stay close to the forum. You can do this.

Nope!

Getting the fruit ready!

Welcome SOS. I am glad you have decided to quit again. I do get discouraged when I see a quitter that has relapsed. I look at quitting as a gift of life. I hope you truly find success this time and look forward to a smoke free life and never look back. I have depression and anxiety and found it was heightened during my quit. I discussed it with my physician and she upped my prescription. I can tell you my anxiety is much better since I quit. Hang tough and beat those craves. You can do this again.

Dear Richard, so glad to hear from you and know that you have not caved to smoking. I can not imagine the pain you are experiencing now and hope that your family is there to help sheer you up. I do hope the doctor can find an answer to your fatigue and brain fog. I am sure your emotions are playing a part in that. I know that words can not ease your pain right now but hope that you feel you can come here to talk or share your feelings. We are not just here to help you beat the habit.

Welcome Travis. I would introduce yourself in the introduction area. There is lots of information about the addiction of smoking and I would start educating yourself. We are here to help you succeed in quitting. We all have been smokers. Stay close to the forum as you start your journey to quit and take the NOPE pledge (NOT ONE PUFF EVER) every day. I found that really helped solidify my quit. There are many games to help keep you mind busy while you learn to fight those craves.

Linda's here!
