NOPE Really enjoy the pics, @Cbdave. Thank you for taking the time to post them. I need every bit of calm and serenity that comes my way.

Hello People, bunnies, dogs, cats, too Just saying aloud, I am struggling. Keeping busy helps. It is when I am tired and/or down mentally or emotionally that there is only a thin veneer of NOPE. Grateful to be quit. Having trouble shaking the belief I had prior to picking up again. The one that said," This is your sticky quit. I don't have another come back in me." Anyway, thanks for hearing my struggle. Hoping your day brings many opportunities for belly laughing and sharing with those you hold dear.

Day 139 (I think) Still on the quit train. After literally a 3 month wait....should still be waiting another 2 weeks but they had a cancellation last week I finally got to see the oral surgeon and get these wisdom teeth plus 2 others pulled. Been a rather painful week. Am so thankful I finally got in. 3 months when you hurting a long time to hurt. Been a bit since I have been here. Just stopping in to say I still on the train and hanging in there and yay Ibuprofen my friend!

NOPE!!

Sorry to hear that you are having a bad day, but it shall pass and you will endure. I’m glad to see that you are still with us.

Good workout 2 days in a row. I power walked 2 complete miles, up a moderate incline, in just over 36 minutes. It was so much easier, than the rough one, a few days ago. I went longer, and did not stop to rest, either day. I am burning about 250 calories in each session, or about 1/2 an average size meal for me. I don’t snack. Today was more of a mixed bag. It was harder, because I did it less than an hour after eating a late lunch. When the body is processing food, it’s already working, so working out at the same time is expending more energy, and I could feel that. Having said that, I increased my speed from 3.3 to 3.5 mph. I did complete over 30 minutes, but did rest for 1 minute at 20 minutes in. Distance was 1.8 miles today, as I had reached my limit. Calorie burn was again about 250, due to increased speed. Overall, I think I am doing well. I am not seeing a lot of results on the scale, but I feel leaner. I keep reminding myself, it’s a slow process…..

He's usually not great, though splat

Good to "see" you @Dianne, congrats on your great quit I'm really happy for you that you were able to get your dental work done

NOPE!

Yes, that is tough. But the fact that you are quitting again means you realize that you would be better off smoke free. Fight through all of the negativity and mind-games the addiction plays on people. Fighting through the early days and keeping the quit this time means you will not have to go through this again. And, over time, you should see that a smoke free life is worth these early struggles. Congratulations on 2 weeks smoke free, Darcy. Keep up the great work.

Hang in there @darcy, it won't always be a struggle. We promise you that..Unfortunately the only way past is through.....

Nope.

You're doing awesome @Katgirl I tried to do a run on the treadmill last night as it was really late but after about 15 mins I was clock watching and at the end of 30 mins I just had to end it I think my preference is outdoors - new trails or streets that I have not run before. However, with the days getting shorter and cooler, there will definitely be more treadmill time.

Congratulations on the big four, Dianne!!!

Congratulations Dianne! Four months smoke free is awesome!

Congratulations Diane great job!!

Congratulations Dianne.

WooHoo!!! Congratulations @Dianne!!!

@Dianne, it might be worth remembering that yours was the very first thread I read, when I found the site. In the beginning, I was sure you weren’t going to succeed. But, then I read your latest posts, and saw that you were hanging in there. At the time, I said to myself, if this woman can stay away from cigarettes, so can I. I look to you for my own strength. I think we should all remember that we are examples to other newbies, and take responsibility for that fact. Ideally, we want others to succeed in their quits. If we give in, they might get discouraged, too. So, stay strong, so those of us with less time than you, can continue to follow your lead, and keep our quits intact.
