CONGRATULATIONS!!! Party Time!! ? ? ? ? So very proud of you!!!!

Such a wonderful post BTR! Congratulations to you! You’re on your way...no stopping you now!!!

Congratulations Pumpkin!! Great job! ?

So true! Our minds trick us into thinking a smoke will help because that’s what we’ve always done. So now find a new way to stimulate that dopamine fix....candy, gum, a walk, talking to us on here. Something to keep your hands busy & your mind on other stuff. Trust me, you don’t want to go through this again & again....it’s best to move forward & just refuse to cave.

Thinking of you Katie! Do whatever you can to turn your brain off. It’s tough....I’m where you are too...I keep telling myself if I have no cigarettes I can’t smoke and I chew gum vigorously....it passes in 15 minutes or so...I know you can do this. If I can, anyone can!!! ?

I feel that there are certain triggers that cause me to want a smoke. Stress is number one, evening is number 2 and “just because” is number 3. I’m really liking the smell of fresh washed hair after a shower & not worrying that my clothes stink of smoke. I try to remember all this when my brain tries to trick me into having a smoke...it really sucks when you feel “needy” though. I chew gum & the icy flavour seems to help...I likely look like a cow chewing her cud vigorously lol but if it stops me from smoking so be it. Hang on! You can do this ?

-4 let’s do more

Like JB has said, I too relapsed Katie...after a 6 month Quit. But believe me you can do this! I too felt SO guilty & that lapse back to smoking didn’t help at all. Once I realized that, I got back on the train. Don’t give up...I know how awful you feel...but no one here is judging you...we’re here to help you. So as Doreen suggested use that SOS...plus I find that chewing gum like crazy helps me. You’re going to be okay...?

Ha ha ha! Yaay Chicks! I was dusting lol...Sorry!

I’m sure your intentions are good Joel but suddenly this fantastic site has become a totally different place with your constant posting of information threads & apparent lack of empathy. I know the ex smokers here & they are all supportive, informative & are empathetic but will give a deserved “boot in the butt” as needed. They suggest a particular video too as needed. But recently the vast number of video threads you suggest every time someone posts are like Advertising & Spam and makes one want to avoid them & the site as we don’t wish to be the next target. I so wish our old Quit Train was back....it was extremely helpful & I miss it. But I’m out here reading....I’m still here Doreen & yes I’ll check in Recip ? Thanks Nancy & JB. Has there been a transfer of Ownership of the QT site? Just askin.... And YES....I have a choice not to smoke and I have a choice to ignore advertising

I’m already running screaming from the site Nancy! Thank you! Sorry Joel....just too much. I’m holding my Quit but checking in less & less. ?

Good job!!! Congrats to you!

I’m still here. Not used to all the “Advertising” on this site ? But I’m hanging in there smoke free. Checking in on occasion. Had a bad car accident with a deer ? a week ago but was fortunate to walk away. ? Looks like my SUV is totalled Oh well.

3 weeks NOPE!
