@AceWhite I didn’t know that you played hockey! No wonder you have a kick ass quit! LOL

Great job Darcy! I used the patches because of some anxiety and depression issues I have. I omitted Step 1 and did Step 2 and 3 in less than 2 months I believe. I had to go through withdrawal 3 times because of that. But, I know without a doubt that I would not have survived a cold turkey quit. You are doing an amazing job! KTQ!

Congratulations @KEL! You are doing exceptionally well with your quit!

AMAZING @MemaX7!!! Welcome aboard too!

So true and it will happen without you even noticing at first. You’ll be like, “Whoa!!! I just went all day without thinking about smoking or even quitting smoking.” FREEDOM!!!!

Amen, @Opah. That foundation is everything. And just like your home’s foundation it needs to be inspected, maintained, and repaired if necessary. Keep your tools handy. QuitTrain taught me that.

Opah?! That’s one heck of a long walk you are taking! I hope that you survived your crave. I hope that you’ll give us an update soon.

Congratulations on 3 months quit!! You are doing great!

You too, @Linda! …and to everyone on this train, American or not….

Happy 2nd month @JustSomeGuy!!

Happy 8th @joe!!!

THIS!!!

Congratulations on 6!!

Thankful for you @Kris! Your stories help lift my spirits quite often.

And that is the biggest step of all! I’m proud of you Kris for the extraordinary quit you’ve got going!

#truth I’ve lived my whole life by this rule. A shame that I didn’t see any issue with smoking. I was still able to remain active. I have always been in great shape and I’ve maintained the same weight for at least 30 years. I could still play sports and run. Smoking wasn’t a problem for me. Until I couldn’t bear the smell anymore. Until I started watching my sister’s health decline so drastically and now she has COPD among other major issues. Until I quit. Until I was forced to admit that ‘I’ am an addict. Then it was a problem. But it was always a problem. I just refused to see it as such. I honestly would just deal with the withdrawals from smoking first and then when you are comfortable with that you can start the dietary changes. A whole lot of walking, water, and cold cranberry juice worked wonders for me during my initial quit and from all that I have read on here they did the same for a whole lot of other people too. You are doing great on keeping your quit!

Hey Darcy! Utilize the train! It works! Time and time again. Being an addict sucks. You can build your quit again and QuitTrain can only make the foundation more solid. See you around.

Great quit you’ve got going Kris! I remember your first couple of weeks on here and wow, you were really having a rough time, but look at you now! Keep the quit and I am so proud of you for persevering!

How scary, @Rozuki! I pray that PT is able to get you back to 100% quickly. I used to not carry my phone with me if I was outdoors and still close to my house but, I started carrying it with me 100% of the time now. I’m sure it’s driving you nuts not knowing what actually happened. I feel for you. I had an episode similar to that a couple of years ago. Scary and not knowing the why or how still bugs me to this day.

Thanks everyone! I appreciate the support!

10 YEARS! How amazing! Congratulations!

Congratulations on 7 years @johnny5!! It’s been great having you here for your advice and support! Thank you!

@KEL I honestly can see myself saying this and believing it to be a logical thought. HaHa Those days are long gone and behind me.

@Kris “I am on Grandma duty.“ No grounding at Granny’s!!! Unless Granny does the grounding. LOL Not happening.

They all tasted nasty. Every single one of those thousands of cigarettes.
