Yes, you can start posting in the Quit Smoking Discussions section. There is also a games section to help you keep your mind off of smoking, it's a lot of fun, especially the Chicks and Sticks game!

nope

NOPE!

DenaliBlues, love it "Cravings are mere commercials for junk you don’t wanna buy any more". Cbdave, Agreed, 100% "just one you will be right back where you started" and is the voice that comes out when wanting to burn one. Right now I am laughing at my self. A week or so ago, I hunted down my wife's smokes while she was long in bed. Took one out and was smelling it like a kid over candy. That cigarette smelled just like the day I started smoking back when I was a kid. The first thing that came to mind was a talk with self "Keith, you know as well as I, that one smoke will muck you up and everything you've worked for so far will be out the window". That said, I put it back in her pack and said to self: These are just thoughts, not cravings and again, is something I tell myself every time those instances arise. SD2026, Isn't it funny how we addicts can so quickly throw a playbook in the mind and throw that rational thinking out the window, just to figure out a way to have that one smoke? That has happened to me more times than I can count. And is where I stand tall and tell self "Keith, don't let one smoke kick your ... like that, you are much stronger". Happy you may have a new mantra to throw in your back pocket. Finally, as this is the Introductions board. I feel I should stop replying/posting here, thoughts? Make it a great day everyone!

I am saying NOPE to smoking for today.

Nope

NOPE

I like this as part of your craving management @Keith! Seems obvious but at times the cravings really can take over and rational thoughts goes out the window! It's just a thought can be my new mantra.

Gday If you have just one you will be right back where you started, and where you started was desperately wishing you were where you are right now. - Marvitta an oldy but a goody

^^^ This! Oh yes. Because Addict Mind will spin all kinds of rationale to justify smoking again. But it’s just a trap. Because 1 is too many and 1000 is not nearly enough, right? It’s worth grinding through, because getting that monkey off your back forever is PRICELESS! In the meantime, let those cravings float by. Stay busy and distracted. Cravings are mere commercials for junk you don’t wanna buy any more. Change the proverbial channel!

Yes! Good for both of you!! Recognizing those milestones as you extend your quit status is important. Celebrate & treat yourself Focusing on positives early in your quit will help you transition your daily life from smoker to non-smoker without regret. You are NO LONGER a smoker and besides; those cigs never did anything positive for you

Congrats Desmond on your now 20 days of no smokes. Tomorrow it will be three weeks and a huge milestone, keep it up!
