You should be very proud of yourself! I guess I am not at the stage yet where I don't miss it anymore. I honestly do miss it sometimes, especially when I smell it. I can't go back, but I'm hoping that eventually I won't miss it ever again. Although, when I am around smokers, I don't go nuts and I can stay in a room with them. Sorry about the groundhog eating your veggies. Do you put cages around them to keep the groundhogs out? Enjoy your ham and congratulations again!

Congratulations @Paul723 on 12 years smoke free!! That is truly amazing and you are certainly an inspiration to all of us! Treat yourself to something special today. All the best!!

Welcome @Muddled Quince to the Train! So glad you found us, we are a really great group and can help you succeed. As you know quitting smoking is very difficult, BUT it is also very doable, as all of our members can attest to. We have members here from newbies such as yourself, 10+ year quitters, one of our members is quit 20 years, and everyone in between. The beginning few months are the worst as we all know. I have been quit for over 2 years and what helped me in the beginning was to take cinnamon sticks and pretend they were cigarettes. I would suck the air in and pretend I'm blowing it out. They tasted really good, so much better than an actual cigarette. If you don't like cinnamon, you can use cut up straws. I used the cinnamon for about 3 months or so. I had many many moments where I thought I was gonna go nuts from the withdrawal symptoms, but I got through it. Read everything you can on here as there is a lot of information and videos. There is a games section to help keep your mind off of smoking and if you really get a bad craving, there is an SOS section. Since our members are from all over the world, someone is usually on at all times. Take this one day at a time, on minute at a time, if you have to. Also do the daily NOPE pledge, you will see the section on the main board. I do it every day as I find it helps to keep me focused. Stay close to this forum as we can really give you the support you need. You can definitely do this!! I hope to see you again! P.S. "Crazy Train" in your subject line, how appropriate since the passing of Ozzy yesterday.
