Wren18 is 9 Months Smoke Free

[notsmokinjo]

Congratulations @Wren18 for being 9 months smoke free.

 

Well done on officially being 75% of the way to your first year of freedom. Its great to see that as your quit is getting stronger its getting easier. I just don't know what was sprinkled in the water for January 2018 but the crew of newbies that month are all amazing. So big reward for being 3/4ers if the way to the lido... that is an impressive milestone and should be celebrated.

Great work Wren 18!

Three quarters of the way to a full year is something to be proud of and celebrate so be sure to do something special to mark the occasion

Congratulations!!!

Thanks to everyone.

I'll admit month 8 was a bit different...i have been thinking about smoking a lot more. I was hoping by now i'd just have the odd smoking related thought. Anyway haven't smoked and won't be doing, have continued to just wait for the thoughts to pass.

Your messages have made me realise i am proud to be 9 months in  Thanks Sslip i know we are at a similiar position...so congratulations to you too.

Wren, congrats on the 9 month mark (looks like we are in the same boat here).  I too thought month 8 was a bit harder than expected but I knew that going in since I knew it would be a big trigger period of time but I made it through  and looks like you made it through also -- great job and the lido deck is not far now!!

Thanks Martian, well done to you and see you on the deck!

 It may be the seasonal changes that have made both of your month 8's a little more challenging? Just a thought. During that crucial 1st year, the change in a season often brings on new smoking triggers that you may not even be aware of. At least in our minds, we started moving into the Autumn mode as of Sept. 

 

Both of you are doing just fine. Remaining on guard for the unexpected is always a good thing - keep at it

Congratulations wren18.

Do not worry about random craves or errant thoughts about smoking.

It takes a long time for the addiction to fall asleep, that is just the nature of it.

You must reward yourself for your fine 9 months

and hold tight to NOPE.  Then there will be no worry, no worry at all.

Any ol crave that bothers you will get stomped on pretty damn quick.

Great job! and huge congratulations for saying no to the smoking thoughts. Quits are unpredictable and non-linear so mindset is very important. You got it!
