I've noticed this too. I hope it's just temporary and that she checks in soon. :)

LOL, every time I see your user name that songs plays in my head! Love the monkeys!!

LOL, this reminds me of a joke my mother played on me once. We both used to go tanning at this place and the owner always seemed a little "sketchy" to me. I used to mention this to my mother and say that he prob has camera's set up recording us etc.....half kidding but not completely... Then one day when I was leaving after tanning he stopped me on the way out and said...."nice tattoo". I FREAKED! I could not even breathe for a few minutes. He broke out in hysterics and told me how my mother had set it all up and gave him info on a tattoo I had recently got to make me think there were cameras! So Bakon, did you use to own a tanning salon?

I think that is an excellent suggestion. Of course we want you to quit smoking but I think adding that pressure right would only increase what is clearly an emergent time for you. Please come here anyway as we are your friends too. Praying for you Nat. I am so sorry for what you've endured. xx

Welcome DB! You're going to love it here. :)

This is awesome news! I was wondering about how she was doing. woot woot!!

Thinking of you Beth. I know your procedure is coming up and we wanted to let you know how much we appreciate you and give folks a place to put their well wishes! xx

Welcome to the QT Rooster. For the moment I would not drink if it's caused you issues in the past. As you get stronger in your quit you can add those triggers back slowly and you'll be better equipped to deal with them. Be wary of friends or even family who smoke as they may interfere in your quit. When an addict sees someone quit they get nervous, really nervous. It forces them to think about what they're doing to themselves so they will attempt to ruin your quit rather than deal with that dose of reality. The first few weeks are the hardest and then it slowly gets easier. The more time you put between you and your last cigarette the easier it gets. Time is your friend and so is the QT :). The most important thing to remember however is NOPE (Not one puff ever). Lovely to have you here! You can do this! If it wasn't doable I would not have made it at all! I'm the biggest wimp ever!

It's not everyday you see a thread labeled "feelings" written by the porkster. I say just choke 'em. The coworkers and the cigarettes. :)

Let us know how we can help Terrigal!

Awww, I wish it was spring where I am. We got a foot of snow last night! Enjoy!

We all have our triggers. I struggled in the car as well. I smoked a lot on the way to and from work as it was the only times I had no kids with me. I used to take a drink with a straw (water or juice) with me and every time I wanted to smoke I sucked on my drink. It took time but eventually I got over it. Don't get stressed about losing your quits because it only makes it harder. Learn from those attempts instead. The truth is that it's going to suck for a while, but it won't suck forever. If it didn't get better I never would have made it!

LOL, when I read the title I thought oh no--- I thought Runfree was a lady! Congrats runfree, Just think, you'll never have to go through the first two weeks of quitting smoking again! YAY you!
