Nope!

Congratulations Abby. You've built a rock-solid quit for yourself.

G’day Abby congrats! That’s gunna be my next mile stone......10 years gotta great ring to it !

i hope I can say this one day but I want to have a big party with food and dancing! Call all your friends and family, plan the party! You have gone a decade and bet they don't remember you even smoked. They do not realize the great gift you have given them, you are still here! K

Cool that you reappeared recently, in order to celebrate 10 years with us. It gives the rest of us hope for a long and successful quit, too. If you can do it, so can the rest of us…. Cheers!

NOPE!

NOPE!!!!!!

Congratulations on a decade quit @Abby, and thank you for all your support and contributions to the boards. I hope you have a great day 😊

I started my new job yesterday and what can I say? After not working for 20 years?! I’m sure that I do not need to describe how I was feeling. 😂 But what I do need to say is at some point I started feeling a little harried and agitated so I checked my phone to see what time it was because it just had to be close to my 1::15 lunch break?? I literally almost broke down because it was ONLY just before noon. So, from that point on I was agitated the rest of day. I actually wanted a cigarette off and on for the rest of the day!!! 😡When I finally went to lunch I went to the bathroom and cried for a full minute before I turned that off because I would still be crying, I think. lol Anyway, all of that just to say, “No matter how well that you think you are doing, that monster is still there. Be vigilant! Guard your quit! The rest of your life is just going to have to be one big long NOPE!!!” I’m just hoping today goes a little smoother. ✌️

@AceWhite Holiday Inn stay lol, your wit makes me laugh😀😀

NOPE

I have to agree with Jillar... Putting nicotine back in your body has started the whole process again ... We have lots of good information on the Main Discussion Smoking Board ....pinned with green Knowledge ....Understanding this addiction is your best weapon .... Those members who come here daily join in ..are the ones most likely to succeed.... Congratulations on not smoking ...🐸

You could get a big ol' lazy black lab. Loud noises don't bother Cash. He's not bothered by much. There was one night when when the booming of thunder woke him up. He snorted through his nose, looked at me, then got up and walked away. I don't why he got all huffy with me...I didn't have anything to do with the thunder.

Congratulations on 10 years smoke free, Abby! That is awesome!

yep jillar, I'm a virtual human garbage disposal right now. I will have to get back on track later, right now I am just concentrating on the one thing I have to do. Wish you could come by and review my fridge and pantry, you would be on the ground in laughter. It is like being pregnant at 62! Doreen, I am being careful, I do not cut them in half anymore. I put one in my mouth and set a timer for 2 minutes. I remove said lozenge and place it on a saucer until I need another fix. Sometimes 2, 4 or 6 hours depending how well I am distracting myself. The instructions say I can use 9 a day, I am only using 3 or 4 a day with my new method. I want to get nicotine out of my life in everyway. K

Congratulations Abby .., Inspirational.....

Congratulations the big 0. 8 months already .....Well done ....that's something to dance about !!!

Okay guys, you have me totally confused now. I know what you mean, kinda. I now know what the phrase watching the tail means, I thought if might be something weird and I was not about to ask. I was concerned about putting things in the wrong place but did not realize that someone had to go fix it I also know what one of the funny guys meant by "I don't need no stinking badges" Yes, I know that there is some kind of quote thing.....one I still have learn. I won't start a new thread but I did go for a walk to deliver the bread I made today. Wait for it....the neighbors were not home so I have 2 loafs of fresh, tasty English Muffin Bread, just what I need hanging around. K

Love that Mac23! Those sick kids really pass around the germs. Cbdave, How did you get that picture of my husband? I thought he might have cheated and now I have the proof LOL K

NOPE…

NOPE!

NOPE…

I didn't look at it that way. Just looking for relief. I am already on antidepressant Cymbalta. Not sure what else could have prescribed. One thing for sure- smoking again is worse!

Eight is great. Good job Opah.

I do use Jillar air smokes, have a huge pack!! I know that I have to get off these lozenges asap, I am experiencing the same things you describe. I don't know why this is but I picture you in Chicago not Burbank. Weird!

Thanks everyone, I am careful to follow the directions and have been actually using less of the lozenges than they recommend. I know there is such a thing as a nicotine OD, also just want to make it as easy as possible to stop using them when I am stronger in the journey. K

Glad to hear the update. I have been thinking of you. Starting a new job is so stressful. All the new things to learn, meeting new people etc. I am glad you are taking some gum today. The only thing I can suggest try to just go crazy keeping busy. Offer to do any thing that will help with that. Move around the room if you can,, stay engaged with the children, check and help them with their work if you can. If the teacher does not need you for the slow times maybe she can check with the office to see if you can help in other rooms. The added bonus of all this is that they will see that you are a hard worker and a team player. You will get that salary to start increasing fast. Hope today is easier!! K

Congratulations Opah . You are a winner !

Congratulations Opah keep up the good work my friend!!!!!

Congrats Opah 8 Months is fabulous. stay determined 🤗

Congrats on the new job, AND not smoking. It must be scary getting back out there. Just be vigilant and stick close to us…

Congratulations Opah!

Lol You peeps crack me up ... I'm asking myself ....Do i really need to go to bed ...or shall I post all night ... The competition is too much ....

Haha, would you believe it? I just got promoted to ..... drum roll ... Conversation Starter. And all I had to do was write a post that contained a number of correct keywords (new thread). Edit: No fair - got the notification but it's not showing. More Edit: Oh, it's a badge and not a rank - didn't know we had 2 things going. @jillar you were right about a game within a game.

Hmmm @d2e8b8 you might be on to something. Maybe starting threads is worth more. I know there's a badge for it so maybe....🤔

NOPE

NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
