DCCXXVII

Hi Jess... happy to nope along with you :) I pledge to ntap

lol@Petra... it wasn't a total ban... you're still good :lol2:

I like posts if I can relate to it personally or maybe it was something I hadn't thought of before and think it is a great idea/witty etc I don't think anyone will get hurt if you like a post but not another If you chose not to use likes that is entirely up to you Btw... you are doing great Oneistoo :)

Cool... twice in one day... perhaps one was a decoy???

Congratulations Petra :)

Well done Rooster :good3:

Sorry Dentalfloss for the confusion... you can call me seven2seven/727 or just plain "7" if you want... I was this number when I joined :)

Hello Oneistoo and welcome to quittrain You can do this... you just need to quit and never take another puff again Make a plan not to smoke and do not deviate from that... don't let excuses/reasons to smoke break that commitment You have found a great place to be for support and a wealth of information Again welcome... looking forward to seeing you around :)

Well done on two weeks freedom :)

Congratulations on 7 months Gabby :)

Hi Evelyn... controlled breathing as mentioned above worked for me too with anxiety I also close my eyes in order to picture an object or nice place in my head to divert thoughts I am glad you asked about anxiety because you are not alone... so many of us experience this and it does eventually get better Hang in there... you are doing wonderfully well :)

Modest

Sarah... sorry to hear you are angry... I hope it gets better for you... hugs :)

Hi Mike... so glad you jumped back to your quit Please stick close to the board... check in and let us know how you are going :)

I pledge to ntap nope

It is scary how much we follow in our parents footsteps but even more scary is that our children do pretty much the same thing Lead by example... was instilled into me as a child... yep I sure did :(

Thanks Action :) thank you DevilDoll for looking after mine :)

This thread gives me so much joy... so happy right now Laura :)

I was young maybe about 8 or 9... I also use to take them from my parents when they weren't watching... I wanted to be just like the grown ups I remember coughing and tearing up on the first ones until I learnt how to smoke them properly... that was a very long time ago

Hi laura... it is great to see you here A little advice from a chronic relapser of past... there really isn't anything that can prepare you for it mentally... that is called arguing with yourself You are correct it is a choice to smoke Each day/event/holiday/moment needs to be faced with never taking another puff again... craves will never hurt you and they soon pass and wouldn't have ruined your holiday... you need to stop thinking that way... try deep breathing hold 4 seconds and slowly let out and repeat over again Again I am glad you are here... you will never be turned away for reaching out... we want you to be free of this horrid nicotine addiction... post an SOS if you need help MarylandQuitter posted a bbc documentary right here... it is a reminder what is installed for us if we continue smoking... best 50 minutes I spent of late in watching it

I pledge to ntap nope

Happy Birthday :)
