Thank you all! I made it through nursing school and have accepted my dream position in the trauma intensive care unit. All of these positive changes came from my decision to quit 9 years ago!

Thank you! This has been an amazing 7 years! Without this site and the help of its wonderful members I don’t think the outcome would have been the same. If you are lurking and thinking of joining, do it! It is worth it. Next year at this time I will be quit and have a new title added to my name BSN, RN. All of this snowballed from quitting at that point in life quitting was the hardest thing that I had done. Conquering that obstacle gave me the courage to conquer my fear of going back to school at my age.

7 years! When we first started 7 minutes was a stretch... 7 flipping years!! congratulations Joe!!

Nope ... not today

8 get in here Mammy

6-8 months in was a really rough time for me. You can get through it though. There are times where it is going to pop into your head and then it will just pop right back out. All you have to say to yourself is "I am not a smoker", it really does get that simple.

Take it minute by minute. Nope just for an hour, and then the next hour, and the next... You can do this.

2020 may be a dumpster fire but I am still here.

@Linda This thread has saved many quits. Write something to yourself, something that will help save you when you are on the edge. When you feel weak come read ...

Not today, NOPE.

Before you relapse @Linda just think to yourself, "If you have just one cigarette, you'll be back where you started. Where you started was desperately wishing that you were where you are today." Give it time, post an SOS, it will pass.

Not today. NOPE
