A crave lasts only 3-5 minutes......but the mental badgering lasts for hours. Understanding the difference between quitting and abstinence is vital. And I'm not sure that it happens all at once. Amy, as a chronic relapser myself, I beg you to dig deep and fight the fight. Or your going to end up surrendering and hating your self on a daily basis. Don't just try again tomorrow. Make tomorrow the day that counts.

He was just so happy....... I couldn't take it anymore.

Shona1988 was having problems with her account. Had something to do with her email. It's all fixed now and it's back up to 103.

I just don't get it. Makes one just wanna run away from the whole thing...... but if one does that, then they don't have the support they really need and know they will go back to what they know. Which is killing them. Sometimes, I wish I had never started this journey. :(

Iam, please let us know how your doing........ I don't like to see a newbie just quit posting. I am praying that your doing ok. But if for some crazy reason, you smoked, please don't not come back because of that. I have done the same thing. We all have and believe me, we do understand. Cigarettes have already taken so much from all of us...... don't let it take each other away from us to.

Yes, you are. No SOS's are required in quitting smoking. Just enjoy each day of your new life and appreciate the gift that you have given yourself. Keep on going.... your doing an amazing job and your are so close to hell week being over. I am so proud of you.

Thanks Sarge !!! My Sunday just got busy...... real busy. ;)

OMG, she is sooo stinkin cute !!! ( she's even cuter than Carlo)

I would like one for each day of the week...... except Sunday's. Sunday, I would rest.

ooh la la...... I will be making me a life size poster of this one.

when Miley Cyrus gets naked and licks a hammer, it's called "art." But when I do it......I'm "wasted" and have to leave Home Depot. This just doesn't seem fair.

I would have to ask Scott if I could borrow his !!! I dont have any of my own........

Dont' be sad. Your quit is YOUR quit. Just cause he isn't here doesn't mean he smoked. And if he did, we will still be here when he gets back. You just keep marching forward Amy, your almost through hell week and your doing absolutely wonderful. I am so proud of you.

I am shocked by how much personality he has. He's so funny. He is going to be one spoiled goat.

He thinks he's a dog. This is him looking in a mirror. I think he is in love with himself. So we go inside and I look out and Carlo is watching us through the window. He has learned how to escape from the pasture. I will be fixing that tomorrow.

I am blind !!! OMG, I just stabbed my own eyes out watching that....... there was no warning or anything. That is freaking cruel !!!

YES !!!! It IS Scott that is giving us the picture of himself in the speedo !!! I'm not getting in no speedo. Scott promised us one in another thread...... I just copied and pasted it into this thread.

Juan, the ONLY "big problem" that you had today was that you chose to smoke a cigarette. I don't know who you got into a fight with but you should go get that stripe from the Sarge and hand it over to your opponent with a trophy. Cause he won the minute you stuck that nasty cigarette in your mouth and decided to take a puff off of it. You decided to let him have the last word. Unfortunately that last word could be the one that causes your untimely death or a lung disease or any of the other numerous things that come along with smoking. Your gonna have to take responsibility for your own quit. I have been there so many times.....so and so did this to me, I just cant take it any more and I'm going to have me a cigarette. But it really doesn't work that way. People do things to people all the time, things happen.... but it's ALWAYS a choice to smoke. I am just now beginning to understand this. Today, I have been thinking about smoking all day today..... and I get home and my neighbor that I ALWAYS go smoke with texts me asking me to come have a cig with her. Don't think the thought didn't cross my mind.... "well, I have done good all day today, what's one cigarette tonight?" But the difference is I text her back and told her no more smoking for me, I am quit. It's not easy, I know this. Well, unless your The Sarge (but he climbs rock mountains with only a string attached to him). We aren't The Sarge..... so we have to fight. I hope you get serious soon about this. I can tell you from personal experience that every time you give in it knocks your self confidence down. And I hope for your sake, you don't keep doing that. We will always be here for you. I would just like to see you fight for yourself as much as we are fighting for you.

I saw that you posted this on my other thread. We, here at the QT, are ALL SO EXCITED !!!! Looking forward to this.....I know it's gonna be awesome !! :P

Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy....... I have only one thing to say. This song fits you to a tee. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39YUXIKrOFk&feature=player_detailpage

I am so freaking happy to see you !!!! I missed you. :D

:(

I have 2 people in my life that I would die for...... I am quitting smoking for those same 2 people. Except this time, I want to live for them.

Thanks y'all. Nancy, I got some vegetable juice...... and that's helping. It's more mental than anything else.....but I keep coming back with my body healing. I just needed to say it out loud. It puts it out there for me to deal with easier.
