You should absolutely start a separate thread on the main board quittingGirl so others newly quit can see it really does get so much better!

Thanks!! 😃 I thought it should be on the main board too but didn't know where I should put it, and I didn't think I should have started a separate thread.

Hi, Gene. It sounds like you are coping with a lot. A similar thing happened to me early in my own quit: I got slammed by multiple deaths in my family over a short time span. Plus there are the losses of quitting smoking, too. Despite how terrible smoking is and my deep ambivalence toward it, I still missed it and felt deeply unmoored and sad through the first several months of my quit. So I went through a grieving process about that, too. It was a new experience to go thru hard times without the crutch of smoking to emotionally withdraw or pickle my feelings. But it got better. I suppose that coping with feelings more directly is part of the healing and recovery process as we become nonsmokers. In any case, hang in there! Sending hugs your way.

Through all this adversity, smoking would not have helped one little bit. A timely reminder as I grapple with my own medical issues. And along the way, you not only kept your own quit… but you also supported me and many others in our bids for freedom. So grateful! There are some good souls riding this train!!

Awesome @QuittingGirl... thank you for sharing

Good morning. I am going swimming this morning. Will report back when I am done. Happy Monday. Gene

Nice arms @Doreensfree

Good for you G Once I got comfortable in my Quit I too wanted to get much fitter I suppose it’s another part of the journey 🐸

That's what we all notice sooner or later. That sense of Freedom! No longer controlled by our addiction to nicotine! It's the most valued thing I've gained from quitting, as I suspect may be the case for many! Under stressful situations, after completing a task, or a seasonal trigger ... we no longer have to worry about lighting up in those situations. It's just no longer a part of our lives!

Welcome aboard Mary we have tons of information on the Main Discussion Board to get you going . Cone back and tell us if you are vaping We can help you with that too 🐸

Not sure where I would put this post so Doreen or Jill please move it, if it doesn't go in this section. Anyway, I wanted to mention something good that happened last night. Last night my husband and I went out for dinner and on our way out to go home there were people smoking in front of the restaurant. I didn't really notice, but my husband did and he said to me, look at those people smoking. I turned and looked, and said, yup that used to be us but it isn't anymore. 😃 I didn't even notice them smoking so that is really good. But, I sure do remember those days standing out in the cold or rainy weather smoking. I'm so glad I don't do that anymore!!💪👍 After I eat I don't think about smoking, which is great because I think my after dinner cig used to be my favorite. I hope everyone is having a great Sunday! 😁

Welcome to Quit Train @maryb! There's NO better place anywhere for support in quitting the smokes than right here. I encourage you to visit often, especially in the early days/weeks of your quit. I too am a little confused as to your current status Have you actually stopped smoking now or just trade the smokes for vape? You mentioned meeting a person who understood your situation at a Vape Shop? I'm hoping you've actually quit smoking and not just traded smokes for vape because that's NOT the answer you're looking for. I hope you come back and fill us in on what you're doing so we can offer some tips and advice on how to cope in the early days of your quit.

Welcome!

Welcome aboard Mary Congratulations have you actually quit yet or are you thinking about it?. You have come to the right place take a seat on the quit train in the no smoking compartment obviously.Thete is lots to see on the site have a look round.The passengers are all friendly and happy to give advice if you want it.(Some will give it whether you want it or not lol) But they all mean well.
