I'm going to use this thread as a journal of sorts. Just went through the 2 hour zoinkies. All of you know that fidgety, irritated, distractedness that hits at the 2 hour mark when you were in a meeti

Still here. Had breakfast & 2nd breakfast. Took a walk. No NRT today - just life savers candy.

A lot of this one today

 

 

Here's another consideration for your playlist.  

 

Some days you just do what has to be done...may have to do it, but I don't have to like it.

I'm doing well. Had a long weekend out of town and then spent yesterday sick in bed. Tested negative for COVID so I must have picked up some other 24 hour bug. It was nice to be able to go away without worrying about when/where/how often I could smoke. I always hated that dreaded first thing in the morning: leaving your hotel room, navigating through the hallways, elevators, lobby to go outside to smoke and then rinse/repeat 20 or so minutes later.

Where and when and how many we could fit in ....

Well done you put all that crap behind you ....🐸

One of my best quit benefits too Funky!! Travelling is a lot more pleasant as a non-smoker. 

A year or so before my quit we flew to Istanbul from Toronto - 10 hrs. non-stop. Major nico-withdrawal BIG TIME! Think I almost knocked the wife over trying to get outside to have a smoke once we landed 😬 So nice to have those years in the rearview mirror now 🤗

It's almost the weekend! I think the biggest learning curve so far (for me) is how to be mad/annoyed/irritated/frustrated as a non-smoker.  Happy, sad, sick, tired, hungry, bored, excited - all seem fine. Still not planning to give up this quit. NOPE, NOPE, NOPE. So far no people, animals, insects, invertebrates, plants, mollusks, or other living beings have been harmed during this quit (despite my urges to the contrary) 🤣

I was the opposite @FunkyMonkey, I would have my worst craves when I was happy or celebrating something but fine when I was mad or sad. I used my air cigarette during those times....

I had a house full of relatives with the obligatory sight seeing trips from Friday - Monday and follow up medical tests today. Found myself trying to sneak outside to smoke more than once. Instead, I just snuck outside (without lighting anything on fire) to take a quick break or two.

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
