I QUIT SMOKING , YOU CAN TOO. I QUIT SEPT 27, 2012, SUPPORT EACH OTHER HERE

Or "If the good Lord's willing and the creeks don't rise."

Sorry, Salt.

This thread is a ghost town on the weekends...


So this post is for anyone struggling today with quitting or wanting to quit smoking...



One day at a time...

When it is really intense - one minute at a time...

When you want to smoke after quitting - come here first and ask for help or just rant until the urge passes...



Know that what you are doing is life changing and your consciousness will need to adapt to your 'loving your-self more" and wanting to commit passive suicide less.



Chew on a piece of licorice, a toothpick, gum, straw until the urges pass...

Keep in mind that there are no losers on this thread... only quitters.

Welcome to our cyber quitting family!

(quit date January 1, 2013)

10 weeks today!

nice. thanks, onelove

Thanks OneLove, for bumping the thread on a slow day. DF

Had my first non smoking birthday in 25 years yesterday and believe me, it felt good.....


It is so liberating not being tied to the devil weed anymore...

The family is getting all excited for our quitting smoking disneyland trip and even though it will be the 4th time, I am actually pretty jacked up for it too. Could be that I aint had a real vacation in 8 years at least....LOL!

Continued success to all quitters old and new and don't forget to reward yourselves for a job well done!

Later

Can't talk, Masters:)

Happy Birthday, CHL. And while it was yesterday, allow me to wish you many, many, more.

Health, wealth, and happiness to you and yours for years to come.

Sounds like it was a nice day and that you and your family are jacked for the upcoming vacation. Lot of good things in your life. Blessed, brother.

Again, happy birthday, you non-smoking dude.

Many kudos to you CHL, we knew from the beginning you were a winner, now we are positive. Bless you. DF

baters, Riggs?

PS. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHL.

*sigh*

Alright darn it. I'm reading it right now. My fears are everything he described so far. :) I quit smoking before for about 3 months at a time and I was miserable. Kept waking up a hundred times a night.

Happy Earthday!

And your family must be super excited you won't be off in a corner getting a quick smoke in - you will just be 'with' them.

That's an awesome gift for your children - that their Dad is saying - I am here and I ain't going nowhere cause I am smoking!

Thanks for all your support!

Yes. For their money I would be proud of it:)

Calx - You can do this.

With a reference of an earlier three month quit under your belt, this time will stick. You can do this.

Best to you.

What's really funny is that the kids are wanting us to tour the smoking sections while we are there as they are are a point of remembrance for them

HAPPY SMOKE FREE BIRTHDAY CHL!

Its no longer uncharted territory..time to go further on your journey.

CHIP, Check in Chip. did we lose chip?

good morning, all.
just stopping by to say hi and to reflect on the big blessings in the little things. like enjoying a cup of coffee without suffocating myself with cigarette smoke to start the day.

Morning, Salt. Yes, in deed, to your post. Drinking a nice cup of Bustelo as I write. Coffee's so strong, I don't add milk to save it from humiliation. Dark and thick. Good coffee. Bright and sunny. Good day ahead.

You ok with continuing the house search? There's a place waiting for you. Just got to connect with it. It will happen. Always on time. Always.

Best to you.

Good news, Chip. Congratulations. Double-digits tomorrow. You got this.

"to save it from humiliation"

pure genius. i might steal that when nobody is looking.

still searching for a house, but have resolved to the dreaded idea of taking my daughter and my jurassic dog to an apartment setting out there in the new location and house hunt with my own eyes. this means one more year in a cramped townhouse with no place to garden. the up side is, cheap-ass rent and i won't have to mow or repair my own furnace if it needed it.

Day 9! i read somethwere once that if you can make it 12 days you can make it 12 years. keep up the good fight my man!

with you on the coffee, had some green tea too. Went to the gym and felt great today. sun is shining....going to eat then go for a walk in the park. Peace.

Sounds like you're in the middle of a great day, Hawk. Deserved and enjoy.

Salt, that sounds like a great plan. Takes the heat off and gives you a little wiggle room. The breath of time.

To get from A to D you have to go through BC.

As we know, it all works out in the end. The good guys win.

Great things ahead for you.

Hi Guys

Oddball checking in. Yes, I have weakened from time to time, mainly when alchahol was involved but in general now it is coming up to 6 months since I stopped to smoke regular.

I have stopped sucking the mints but now rely on the nicotine mouth spray. They are expensive but they do keep the cravings away.

I am still not over this and I know that I could start again quite easily so just take it day for day.

Best of luck to you all who are doing this with us together.

There is no blueprint, or cookie cutter method that works for everyone man.... you making the effort and doing your best... thats all you really can do. Keep at it and do not let set backs, set you all the way back.
