Wow..Thanks everyone! To be quite honest, I totally forgot! i was outside on this nice sunny (But cool) day getting a head start on getting some Christmas lights up. After a couple dozen trips up and down the ladder, I was getting a bit winded! I jokingly told my wife that it was a good thing I quit smoking, because now it’s just old age and being out of shape that I can blame it on….lol.. SHE reminded me that today was the 10th anniversary of when I quit! she said she saw on Facebook where I had been tagged in a post (from Doreen) congratulating me! (I’m not too active on social media) I didn’t even realize today was the 20th… so…. This is a little lesson for all the newbies here… You CAN believe everyone here when they tell you it get easier…. I smoked almost 40 years before I quit….I did it cold turkey too… I know there are many ways that people have had success with, but I’m an advocate of cold turkey….”just do it!” again…thanks everyone!

NOPE…

MarylandQuitter Quit Date: 10/07/2013 Posted October 4, 2014 is that you may not ever quit again. This is a very realistic outcome if you choose to smoke again. We've all heard that smoking doesn't make anything better when in fact it makes it worse. It's doesn't calm you down, solve your problems and instead costs a small fortune and kills you. If you've started again, quit and right the ship. If you're thinking about smoking again, quickly get that thought under control and make a decision based on facts, not emotion. Emotion is what has always caused me to relapse. I was pissed off, stressed or in some funk. Here are a couple of videos to give you some things to think about work through this. Just hang on, before you know it these rough times will pass. Stay positive and stick around here. With the nuts we have here (I'm the lead nut, thank you very much) you can't help but stay at least a little bit positive. The Power Of Nicotine Addiction Video explains the full power of the grip that nicotine can take on an individual and the consequences that can be faced if a person does not quit smoking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpYRrZG5l8A Who Wants To Go Back To Smoking? This video discusses how former smokers at times think they want to go back to smoking, but if they really remind themselves of the package deal that goes along with being a smoker, it will be easy for them to stick to their quit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DG9qGjf2hd8&list=PL76365B6CE2DA076B Are You Stronger Than Your Cigarettes? This video discusses the importance of understanding that you won't be able to quit smoking and stay free by becoming stronger than cigarettes but rather by becoming smarter than nicotine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxLxDuTOCT0 "It's Inevitable, Some Smokers Are Going To Relapse" If you are a member of any quit smoking support group, whether it be online or a live program, it is likely that some members of your group are going to fail. You should not interpret this fact to mean that it is likely or inevitable that you are going to fail. Video spells out the major difference between people who relapse and those who don't. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ego_dpPmfOk Link to original post: https://www.quittrain.com/topic/2942-the-thing-about-relapse-or-considering-it/
