Thanks All! 😇 I'm certainly feeling and seeing a couple of benefits so far for eg, my skin is looking bright/good if I do say so myself lol, I've more energy than I did during my first month smoke free and I feel the difference when taking a deep breath and feeling the air going into my lungs. I've had a few horrible urges to smoke, most recently when I thought I was ok being out with smokers/vapers, even in the smoking area 🙃 what possessed me I'll never know lol BUT I got through it! I couldn't wait to go home to stop the temptation! Maybe it was too soon I don't know but noted for next time. 🫠 Thanks for all the support, the distraction of this site helps me, it's a reminder to hold myself accountable. Anyway ramble over,, now onto the 3 month mark! 😊

Congratulations SD! That is huge.

Way to go @SD2026! Two months smoke free is a Great start and you're now well on your way to life long freedom. Congrats!

So great to see you @Brioski!! I was thinking about you just the other day, and hoping that things are well with you. We all helped each other a lot in those early days, eh? And we’re still going strong. Congratulations on 3 years of sweet freedom!

Thank you everyone for your warm welcome and all the helpful advises. There's a lot of good info to absorb which is a good thing, will help to keep my mind occupied for awhile. I posted my first NOPE pledge today. Will come every day... one day at a time... Thanks again, I'm happy to be here and it's great to meet you all.

NOPE

That makes sense especially as I know the smell of smoke is awful! My mind was playing tricks on me 😊

Initally, I had urges to smoe when I smelled someone smoking nearby but that changed at some point and I now the only urge I get when someone around me is smoking is that I want to hold ny nose closed to avoid the stench so ... take heart @SD2026, you too will likely come to hate that smell of someone smoking around you👍

Congratulations @SD2026 2 months is a great Quit . Upwards and Onwards Thank you for all your support to others 🐸

Congratulations on 3 years @Brioski! 🥳

Congratulations! 🥳

Ya Hi @Brioski Congratulations on your fabulous 3 years smoke free Good to see you 🐸

Happy (belated) 3 years smoke free @Brioski!

I’m very late but just learned what happened and wanted to offer my condolences. It’s hard to express my gratitude for our friend Jillar, she was an incredible person and friend. Eternally grateful for her. Hope she’s riding her atvs and dirt bikes in heaven ❤️

Welcome @FinalAttempt so glad that you found us!😀 I too have quit before, for 6 years. I truly believe that if I found this site back then, I would not have gone back to smoking. Support is the key to keeping your quit and you won't find a better support group than our members. You have already got a ton of great advice and I will just add a little bit more. Do the Daily Nope pledge every single day and keep close to this forum, and as many said, read as much info as you can. I truly believe staying close and doing the daily nope pledge will help you tremendously. I pledge Nope every day and will continue to do so. If you find yourself getting a bad urge where you want to throw in the towel, there is an SOS section. Since we are a group from all over the world, there is usually someone on most of the time. You can definitely do this!!👍😃

You are doing a great thing in quitting @FinalAttempt I had mnay short attempts quit smoking that lasted a few days or weeks in quitting but that is torture. Once you are smoke free for a while and relapse, you go back to wishing you were smoke free again. I went through the torture of on again, off again smoking for several years. The best thing to do is to quit smoking for good. Stick around, I hope you'll find lots of support and education on this site. Lots of good people here who want to see you succeed.

Sorry to hear this @DenaliBlues😢 We've lost a couple over the years and it's always been a tough time. A positive take away, other than cherishing the love he filled your heart with, is knowing you gave Herry the best life possible🫂

Thanks Reciprocity, I hope to stick around for a long, long time

Welcome to Quit Train @FinalAttempt! Since you've attempted to quit many times before and have been successful for various periods of time then relapsed. I think you need to think about all those failed attempts and ask yourself; "why could I not stay quit?" Try to avoid those same situations this time and have a plan to avoid caving in when similar situations crop up this time. The other thing to consider is to try to focus your mind on all the positives you gain from quitting rather than romancing the cigarette no matter how long you have beem quit for.. Sit down and make a list of things you consider to be positive about neing quit and keep that list handy for when the nicotine junkie inside you head starts whispering sweet nothings in your ear. Smoking has never done one positive thing for you ... NOT ONE! Stick around and read some past posts. We are all exactly like you and you are going through the same thing we all have gone through so there's no judging here - we all 'get it'! In the section "Quit Smoking Discussions" the first 8 or 10 threads have a green push-pin shown in the thread title. Read through all those ... knowledge is power! There's even a games section if you need some mindless distraction. Maybe view some of the Quit Smoking Videos in the "Joel Spitzer's Quit Smoking Video Library" thread. There's lots of info on the site to help you navigate your quit. Stick around @FinalAttempt! You'll be glad you did
