Great job @Paul723!! 12 Years quit is fabulous. Your words of wisdom ring true to me as I had a similar experience that brought me to the point of quitting and yes, it was right out of the blue one day. I just decided that I needed to quit!

Congratulations @Stewbum on 2 years smoke free!! That is fantastic and you have done really great! I hope to see you back on here soon.

Well that is good to know then. Post for one's own S.O.S, is like sometimes I will journal, then go back and read as needed to remind myself. My day is just beginning KTQ and have almost 10 hours of no smoking. It already feels like it is going to be a long day, but I know, that I will not give in today. But will keep busy with Farmtown, movies and I picked up a really pretty shade of crochet yarn to try, as it has been years since I have made anything.

Congratulations @Kdad on a half a year smoke free!!! You are doing great! We hope you come back on to celebrate. Onward to 7 months!!

The June/July post is from this year. I tell you from personal experience, the SOS works. I posted an SOS over 8 years ago and it was like people had alarms go off is their houses! Not only did several people immediately respond, but they stayed with me until I reassured them that I was okay. The first year of my journey was on a different site and I was a mess. I wish I could go back and read my threads/posts from that time but they are gone forever. How is your day going? KTQ

I gather you're referring to the Pre-Respond to your own SOS Thread? I suppose no new members thought it important to post one for themselves. It is a really good idea though to post one up for yourself to read immediately if you feel you are losing focus on your reason(s) to quit. Urges to light up in the early days/weeks can be strong at times, cloudingyourlogicalthinking.It's good to set out in writing somewhere exactly why you are quitting and why it's important to you. Can act as a wake-up call should your mind starts to wander. Posting to the SOS section when you find yourself in trouble with your quit is always a good idea! It lets others know you're struggling and people can jump in to offer a life line to you; talk you off the ledge so to speak. Too many have not bothered to ask for help and have allowed the nicodemon to sweet talk them into lighting up again. Always remember ... there's no such thing as 'just one'!

Welcome aboard the Quit Train @Muddled Quince! I won't add musg more to what other wise quitters have already talked about. YES, you can do it if it's really important to you, which it now should be if you've been diagnosed with early stages of emphysema. Nothing but fresh air should enter your lungs from this day forward. It's not just a nice idea; it's now imperative and we can and will be most happy to help you achieve your ultimte goal Stick around and post often no matter how you're feeling. We can help you put this fight and the challenges along the way into perspective. The turbulant times of quitting don't last all that long in the grand scheme of things and there is a whole world of benefits that will be yours aside from health improvements and money saved - like Freedom from being a daily slave to nicotine for instance - that's a biggie!! Anyway, welcome and be sure to stick around!
