Mee

Wansit, you are not going to stumble because you are strong. No matter what circumstances life throws at us, it will not have to change our quit. Life has many bumps in the road but we always navigate through them, and I have found that I always come out stronger on the other side. Hang tough. Don't let the uncertainty wobble your quit. Shout out if you need us.

Nope

Congrats Kate. I have loved sharing you amazing journey.

You got this now girl. Isn't it a wonderful feeling. You are on your way to the Lido!

Oh my goodness. This brought back a memory. I had three brothers and we used to do this all the time when we were kids.

Rain rain go away

Nope!

I have had a rough go of it

Oh my goodness Wansit. I have the prayers going. Don't stress what may not need stressing. You have this quit so don't let go. We are here for you.

Hmmmmm. Go to the gym or stay home. It is cold outside and I would rather stay in the warm house. Go to the gym or stay home. I could clean a bathroom. Nahhhhhh. Linda you need to go to the gym. Alright, I am going already. I guess I have to work on retraining my brain for this one. ?

Mind your own business

Thinking outside the box

Nope!

Time is running out

Christine, it depends on what you think normal is. Life is full of abnormal days. Even finally succeeding in the quit, I don't feel normal. I do feel, now that I can trudge through my abnormal life and not have to rely on smoking. I am 5 mos. quit and I do still crave but I feel more in control and really empowered to see my quit through. You are in the tough week. I promise you will feel better as time goes on.

I was raised in a very strict upbringing. I would have never gone against my parents. I graduated high school on a Friday and started my first secretarial job the following Monday. I felt so free and like an adult. I remember my first pack. I sat and smoked it at lunch break thinking I was so cool looking and finally a free adult. That was at age 18. It did not take long for the rosy glow to fade. I married at 21 and had my first child at 22. I could not stop. I smoked through both my pregnancies and had low birth weights and two miscarriages. I was so ashamed, I would only smoke at home and not in public. I lied to everyone. I would even lie to my doctor, who probably knew. My friends would often say I smelled like smoke but I would say they are crazy. I think one of the reasons we feel so empowered after quitting is because we can finally be true to ourselves and everyone else.

Two years is awesome. You are living the life now!

Congratulations Sslip on your 1 year smoke free. Not only have you mastered your own journey, but you have helped me travel mine. I would not be where I am today without your caring and wisdom.

Doing good Opah. Four days with the wife should almost get you through the toughest week. Hang tough. You can do this.

Hi Canadian Proud. You have found the right place for the support and help to guide you through the quit journey. I smoked for 42 years and attempted many quits without success. Once I found this forum, it was almost as if they took my hands and guided me through. I love the power I feel and my self esteem is through the roof knowing that I am not anchored to such a filthy habit. How blessed you are to have twins and you are going to want to be there for every magical moment in their lives. So please join us. We are here for you!

Nope! Batman is going to lose.

Well Hi Opah. I guess you have been down this road before. I too tried quitting many times but was finally able to succeed with the help of the members on the forum. I hope this will finally be your final attempt because life without the addiction is awesome. We are here to support you.
