I want a cigarette today, all day long. It is bad today. I don't know why. However, I am sticking with my dum-dums, JAC, Joel, and NTAP pledge to myself. I just needed to 'say' it out loud.

Hi Tony, I am new to this too. The first few days are going to suck, no lie. But you can do it! I was waking up every hour or so .. I use dum-dum suckers in place of smokes for the oral fixation part, also - Jillar's air cigarette certainly does work wonders! Power thru this and you will not feel like crap anymore when you wake up in the morning. I stay close to this forum, it is a wonderful support tool. The people here are priceless. And Joel's videos are worth millions.

NOPE!

WOW It's awesome!! the most perfect ice cream truck I have seen!

lol we are definitely kindred spirits, 'The Jills" lol! and I like you so much too! How could I not? You gave me the JAC, baby!

Hi! I am Jill. I am new. Glad you are here, never quit quitting! You can get this done! Congrats on the job

Congrats Jillar!

nope, not today!

rut-roh! No wonder I have been feeling epic!

Those vases were actually at my wedding in October 2014 in Sevierville, TN. Sorry, couldn't help myself! Y'all know I love to post a pic, lol

Today I bought some baby's breath to put in my Halloween (yes, already! lol) vases. I normally wouldn't decorate because my bipolar makes me lazy and blah, but the past couple of days have put a pep in my step . . . And I have been actually lighting my candles instead of hoarding them. Today I am burning Pumpkin Peanut Brittle. I am most positive my nose appreciates nice smells more now. So I suppose these are rewards for myself, it sure feels like it anyway! Plus, when I reached in my wallet to pay for the baby's breath, there was extra $$ in there from not buying smokes!

NOPE

They definitely have lots more non-weird (lol) stuff that's worth checking out. But I dig those songs you mentioned too!

oh, most importantly - I am listening to music too! my saving grace, the thing that keeps me sane thru this (and the rest of my life!) I grew up a 90's teen. Right now I am listening to the band Filter if anyone is familiar. Anyway! I am sad because my salad is almost gone. Thankfully there's that yogurt you 'flip' in there and a big ol' fruit tray lol

lol, once you get going, you can't stop! Thanks

that sounds like so much fun! I am eating a healthy salad, drinking a Pepsi, and working on my diamond painting.

Thank you!

I have naturally curly hair (haaateee it) lol but I like keeping it straight. ONLY keeping it straight when it's not humid. when it is humid, there's no point in doing any styling with my hair. none. I look like an overrun alpaca. Here's a photo of how frizzy & gross my hair can get. I even documented the frizz with arrows to show someone else that day. lol I absolutely LOVE the pic above my post with the short curly hair! I wish I could deal with something like that, but unfortunately my hair is simply not manageable when it is that short.

*THIS*

yes! it is wonderful Good morning Sazerac! Joel has become a very important part of my quit, yes. Thank you for any video suggestions from him!

I love the feeling of being proud of myself, it's something I have never felt before. I just need to quit eating every time I don't smoke - it's adding up. Last time I quit I gained 20 lbs in 3.5 weeks! That is/was outrageous. I still have that weight. I don't need anymore. sigh.

But I like your Dr. Phil hat! That was very nice & respectful of you toward your wife. I suppose I should talk with him, he is my bestest friend after all even though he is on my last nerve right now.

So sorry I forgot to reply to this! I will totally mail you $20! And thank you

I am stumped! I don't know how to reward myself for getting over cravings, getting thru certain situations, etc. What are some of the things y'all do or used to do? I just bought a new-to-me car yesterday so that's off the table. lol (pics SURELY to come once it's light outside)

I think why I am really pissy about is that my husband is quite younger than I am & I have been smoking a substantially longer amount of time. I've smoked since I was 13, so I've basically lived my whole life with a cigarette. I'm getting off track ---- The point is this, and it is a major one: I don't think he takes my quit seriously because I have smoked for so long and I am one of those smokers who absolutely looooooved smoking. It really doesn't matter why he doesn't take it seriously, the simple fact is that I honestly don't think he does. thanks for this, super informative and enlightening! I like how he compares it somewhat to alcohol. After watching this, maybe my husband is one of those people that is super hooked and doesn't know until it's time to quit!
