NOPE...not for me today

Good job Jackie...I was reading every bit to learn from you and how you dealt with it out of the blue like that. Awesome!!

Awesome...I just see your newest post...you Did it...you made it though, that's fantastic.

Hope you are hanging in there...I'm thinking about you

Thanks again everyone...I will follow the directions as I did get addicted to the lozenges before but I did eventually quit. What lead me to smoking again was drinking so I have quit that too. I don't need it anymore at my age(60) Lots of new changes for me but I have been down this route before so I have learned my lesson. And this time I will be using all you guys and gals for my support. Thank you Ricki :)

Good for you Marti...congratulations. NOPE for me.

Thank you...I was beginning to think I wasn't do something right or something. That's how I quit before so that is how I'm going to do it this time. Tiff you just crack me up....we can do this. We just have to learn from the ones that have been there. ;)

All I have read so far is everyone going cold turkey. I'm on the nicotine lozenges. I have had three today as I cut them in half. But I don't hear anyone mentioning taking anything like the gum or lozenges. I'm feeling a bit quilty..like I'm cheating or something.

I am new here myself and I can tell you it does get better...but being on here and watching the videos helped me a lot. Hang in there, you can do this.

I agree with some of the others so they won't be smoking alone

I'm so happy I found it here...you are all so fantastic to say the least. I wish I had found this before but I was stubborn and thought I would do it all alone...oh well I'm here now and that is what counts. Oh BTW...I did go purchase some makeup today :D Ricki

I had been feeling down the last few day but today feel so much better since I watched some of the videos on here and maybe more time has passed. Can't say I don't think of a cigarette I still do but I don't feel as edgy or something. I going to get on my treadmill which I have put off before I change my mind. Thanks so much for your support. Hugs, Ricki :wub:

I like that bakon, thank you.....I watched a lot of videos on here yesterday and they were really helpful.

Another NOPE day for me

Thanks for you support everyone...Now I got to find something a little healthier to eat and get off my arce :D

Nope not for me

Hello everyone....I have to admit yesterday was really difficult...but so happy I didn't give in. It just boggles my mind to think that since I hadn't smoked that long this time(3 months) and smoked 10 or less that I would be going though this. Just when I woke up this morning and had my first cup of coffee that cigarette was the first thing that came to mind. I thought No, I don't smoke and went into my office to journal instead. I do miss the times out on the back patio but I'm think I will take a book or something to replace the cigarette...I did this before. Today I do feel better and more confident and I'm happy for that. Thanks everyone for your support.. With gratitude, Ricki

Thanks so much everyone...I finally went to the into section so I posted there as well. It was fantastic to see you all here and hopefully I will be able to do the same. You are all fantastic.. Ricki

Hello everyone...I'm here to get back on the train and stay there. I have smoked and not smoked for decades and now I'm making the commitment to not to ever start back again....whatever it takes. This last time started with having drinks and they seem to go hand in hand for me. So I had to give up the alcohol too which is okay...I drank enough for a lifetime anyway :) So now I'm creating a new life for myself which smoking and drinking are no longer in the mix. As I get older I want to be healthy and not continue to damage my health...enough already. So now I'm going to get back on that treadmill I have been putting off due to chronic allergy and sinus issues which is a really good reason not to smoke. I really like it here and I'm learning so much...so glad you are all here. I hope someday I can be a support for someone who may need it like I do now. Hugs, Ricki

I'm so happy I made it to this day. Yesterday was rather tough and I stayed on here and read, read, and read. I have quit so many times only to go back again. I have been smoking on and off for decades and I want it to be over for good No Matter What. I don't want to put myself into this again. I have others talk about romantasizing the drink...Like something I had to give up and didn't really want to but had too. Not anymore I want this monkey off my back for good. So glad to have found you all here. :)

You should be so proud you didn't give in...WTG

Thank you...you are all so awesome :wub: Hugs, Ricki M

Nope

Hi everyone...I am new here and on my second day of not smoking. I have quit several times in the past because I have a history of stopping for sometimes years and then going back to smoking. I want this to be the last and would love the support from all of you. I tried to put on the tracker but not computer savvy to know how to do it...it there a place to go on here. I went on the ticker but didn't know how to paste it or whatever. Thanks for any help. Ricki M :)

Nope not ever again
