No joke, Arnold

needs repeating Be relentless with your commitment.

Good for you, Loamie! And welcome aboard; it's a great place to find yourself when kicking the butts once and for all. I get it. I too quit many many times over the years. I can honestly say it was my absolute determination THIS TIME that made it stick. Like Doreensfree said above, you must be 100% committed. The people on this board, the information contained within the threads and your desire to be a non-smoker will prove positive. You did the hard work once before. The other step is to stay vigilant and KTQ! Keep The Quit. Stick around. Commit to the daily NOPE thread. Commit to staying on this board for one full year. It will protect against a relapse months down the line. And again, welcome! Quitting is the best thing you'll ever do for yourself.

Excellent!!

Sunshine, reframing how we think is a huge part of this process. It's good though.

Andrew, try to up the amount of water you're drinking and see if that will help a bit. Maybe also try some sliced ginger root, honey and hot water. 10 days!! I'm super stoked for you . It's been said before, kickin an addiction ain't for sissies. You've taken the upper hand. Be proud!

Truly enjoyable day
