Twenty days and it was actually a good day. I actually felt like I wanted the quit more than the cigarette. Every time the thought entered my mind, I would take a deep breath and exhale and the thought would pass. Maybe I have this after all. ?7 points

Hi guys, cannot believe it is one year already, thank you sooo much for celebrating with me and also for the support during this year. Particularly to my buddies, @Wee fluffy me Curiously today I thought of smoking for a second after a difficult conversation, but it rather made me smile than anxious. Hope I'll keep it like this. Cheers, grund.6 points

Hey Blur, Sorry i'm late in welcoming you, but I see you've had no lack of motivation or support. I guess I'll only be able to reinforce what other, more experienced people than me have told you. This was not my first attempt at quitting, and I'm only 2 months into it. I won't lie and say life won't throw you any more curveballs. If anything, you may feel more coming your way. But get over your need to smoke by dealing only with one crave at a time, don't plan ahead, don't say ok I'm going to be a year quit soon. That only takes the focus away. One craving at time, let those 3-5 minutes pass, have a tea, a walk, talk to someone, watch a funny video, come on here and play the games...whatever works for you. Deal with each craving in an isolated fashion, and then before you know it, they will add up. Best of luck on your quit, and yes, post an SOS if you feel you might smoke and you'll get tons of help. Guard your quit as much as you'd guard the most precious thing you have (in a way you are, coz you're guarding your and others right to a healthy life). Best of luck!!!6 points

I'm sorry to hear this, blur. As others have said, education and support can really help you so please stick around and read as much as you can about the addiction. I got to this point as well, where I made many short attempts to quit that failed. I was miserable as a smoker and miserable when I was trying to quit. When you finally quit for good, that misery of fighting with the addiction slowly fades away. You will eventually be really happy you put this crap behind you but it does take time and it can be tough. I quit cold turkey but it took me several attempts to do so. I later found out that quite a few people on these boards successfully quit by using a NRT (nicotine replacement therapy). You may want to talk to your doctor about these if you feel cold turkey isn't an option. (I would advise strongly against vaping or e-cigs though) The important thing is that you don't smoke.4 points

Congratulations @Robert32 for being smoke free for 4 months! Well done on your quit and making it to 4 months. Rewards are an important part of any quit so make sure you do something special in recognition of being 1/3 of a year smoke free. I would be great if you could pop in and let us know how you celebrated and to introduce yourself too.3 points

So I make a Broccoli and walnut soup and also make a stir fry ... will sort some recipes out... just sort of bung em together so measurements are skewy.... My dad swears a daily banana split and a daily banana smoothie with malt and honey are why he is still here... when the kid was 14 months old they gave him 3-6months to live due to skin cancer... still here and turned 70 this month the tough old coot.3 points
