Aww...my heart has melted.!!!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone on this train!

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year Quit Train. Have a great holiday season and may 2018 do right by you.

You could put that out on a new "Quit Train Bartering Car" thread and see what you might get for it...

I have it and ..... it's for sale!! You interested?

5 Days is GREAT Lotoya Almost your first week done and dusted now. They call that first week Hell Week. I bet you can't imagine why - lol. What you said above is critical, not having even just one or for that matter even one puff. That's the way you need to remain because we all are nicotine addicts and just one leads us back to smoking at the level we did before we quit - always! No one is special in that regard. Pretty much all relapses are because on that belief that we can "just sneak that one". NOPE!

Thanks @Tyme2B We are doing this!!!!!

So, where are you hford? Is the nicodemon having it's way with you? Come back to where people who care about your future well being are waiting to support you in your quit journey. Choose life - not death!

Why does our brain or mind or sub conscience tell us to go ahead and just have one cig? Is it the addiction talking?

Glad to hear this Joybella. You're determination sounds just right. Like Doreensfree said, one day at a time. Don't overthink it, just don't smoke. We're all cheering you on ..... Go Girl!!

Welcome to the board, Joybella! Many of us quit after 40 or more years of smoking....and if we can do it, you can, too!

Good read. Missed this or forgot it I lived this but threw away a few more quits in there. Now how about one and the kinky creature you are now. 16 backseat and bat got nervous, jumped in front and talked to you 18 same car but burrito couldn't figure out the steering wheel on the correct side. Never left driveway 18-45. Good girl 46 saw 50 shades and tied up meathead. Wasn't very attractive man so drove the car into a lake and left him 47 Bakon went by on his bike. What a ripped hunk and got his own restraints 49. Celibate for two years now. Once you have bakon the rest is just old beef Waiting on his return.

I am almost 49 now...and happier than I have ever been! Loving my freedom! NO MORE EXCUSES!!

Beautiful post. Im 26 years old and quitting an 8 year addiction but already regretting ever taking it. I did nothing with my life when i was a smoker. But i have yet so much life ahead, i dont want to smoke again. Right now its a daily struggle fighting the cigarette romance, i really miss it i enjoyed it a lot or so i think. But ill not go down without a fight. NOPE!

Pimp

This is one of my all time favorite posts Thanks, Babs.

Hi Julie, I like how you made the home group connection. I would never miss my home group so I will not miss a day here. Thanks! Michelle

I've missed you, you smart ass pork product

That was a great post. I´m sure your dad´s proud of you. We all are!

This is an awesome post! So very true, we were all going to quit weren't we...I never intended to smoke as long as I did. I thought I would quit when I had children. Not so much.

Soberjulie, exactly! Most of the time, we don't even know we're helping ourselves when we're helping others... this was an awesome post!

Same here. I am here for the time being, one day at a time. But Smokefree forever...

awesome post babs, I can relate to so much of it ... thanks for the reminder

Awesome, out of the park! No more excuses. Carrot and stick? No matter how hard you run, you'll never get the carrot. That's what the stick is for, to beat ourselves up with. Love the post!

Babs what a truly great read, and you are so right, no more excuses, otherwise another 2 or 5 or 10 years will have passed and before you know it its too late, WHAT IF and WHY DIDN'T I can't turn the clock back. Your dad would be proud of the strength you have

Babs that was an excellent story. I enjoyed reading it and you are right- "no more excuses".
