NOPE!! For Tonight

NOPE for today!

NOPE for today!

Glad you made it home Stew and I bet you are too!! Unfortunately our addiction does not care a tinker's damn what's going on in our bodies or what the state of our health is, in fact it's a perfect time to attack us with cravings, when it believes we're at our weakest. Good that you actually realize what's going on there and still have the will to deny those powerful cravings. That's a great sign that you're ready to beat this thing on a long term basis. Keep busy, stay occupied and good health to you!

Nope!! For tonight. Mt Adams, Washington- Cascade Range ,just south of St. Helens

NOPE!

Good to hear your home Be armed and ready , when that monster comes calling Your already a Non Smoker , all you have to do is stay that way , spending time with your furry friend sounds a Great way to spend some time It will keep you active too Post everyday … 🐸

Your cravings returning home to your safe haven after such a traumatic experience is absolutely understandable. And since you DO understand the why, and know that time smoke free makes it "eventually" better I wish you patience. Keep moving through them, whatever it takes to come out the other side of this addiction. You've done it before ... rinse, repeat. Welcome home!

Glad you are home now Stew! Those cravings will go away, you know that, so just stick with it and come on here every day, if you can! You know the drill. You will do it!!💪👍

NOPE!! Whiteface Mountain, Adirondack Range Upstate NY. I climbed to the summit when I was 15, many moons ago!😮

Nope! Don't wanna turn the beach into an ashtray😡

Thanks girls I appreciate the comments more than you know. Time for a walk.

Thanks all. Knowing my lifesavers are out there really helps. Just listing comments adds confidence and the ability to redirect a crave. I remember these nasty ones and the "battle within" that has to be dealt with. TIME. I will KMQ today.😎

SD. Thank you. I woke up to a beautiful morning with a clean attitude. Trying to decide what I can do that won't affect my physical recovery and keep me occupied for this mental recovery. I think I'll take my dog swimming. KTQ

Well done on one month free @Pilgrim Keep it up, you're doing amazing!!

Came home from the hospital last night and was attacked by some cravings. It's so screwed up! To this point my quit has been fairly easy going. I understand I am just through Heck week, but right after all of these life changing events and to even think of smoking HUH? The cravings kept coming back. WTF. I am safe and through it for now but just Dam. I clearly saw myself smoking and know what the pain would be like in my chest, and that JUST THE ONE could JUST KILL ME. That is romancing this addiction, even when death is at your door!!! I believe the ride home in my wife's car, even though it doesn't smell and we didn't smoke in our house or vehicles, just being confined there must have been a scent that set it off? My wife still smokes but not at home or anywhere around. She covers the smell well. She doesn't leave to smoke but the knowledge is surely dangerous. The same as the last quit she will at some point become complacent that I am quit and relax her rules. She has started reading Allen Carr's Easy Way. I can only hope she keeps moving in the direction she is going and gets serious. The good. These deeper breaths are an addiction in themselves, and my sense of smell is definitely coming back for the good and the (crap that stinks) bad. Or should I say that crap sure stinks.🤢 KTQ.

NOPE

Good Morning NOPE!!

One month free and steady onward. NOPE!

Wonderful accomplishment and I would bet great memories. I was an avid hiker on multiple sections of the pacific crest trail. And other fairly grueling hikes for multiple day and week adventures.

The cravings really DO hit hard don't they! I'm glad you didn't cave in! It's good your wife is also going down the path of possibly quitting in the near future, it will be good for both of you. You've so many more benefits to gain from quitting and giving in to your cravings will just make you feel horrible, not just physically but mentally too. You can do this!! 😊

Make this your final quit so you're not putting yourself through the first few days/weeks of quitting over and over as it's not worth that! I'm glad you haven't given up fighting this and try to remember you will feel less stressed when you are free from nicotine! I wouldn't have believed it before quitting but it's very true! Looking forward to you letting us know you're 24 hours smoke free! 😊

Another "NEEDED READ".

Cheering you on @shy!! Things are simpler if you just take smoking off the table. Period. It ends the “Can I make it through this craving?” debates as well as the shame cycle. When I first quit, I couldn’t fathom not smoking for more than 24 hrs, let alone a month or a year. The thought of being without smokes for any length of time was terrifying. The trick for me was to not think about tonight or tomorrow or forever. I’d start to panic when I would think about measuring time. Instead, I focused on what am I doing right now, in this moment, to help me through the discomfort if NOT smoking. A subtle - but powerful - perspective shift. Also, I equipped myself with lozenges to use at times where I felt my will crumbling. I had to be careful about the dosing, since I also used patches for a few weeks. (So I used mini low-dose lozenges.) But they saved my quit a couple of times. Again, it’s about how to creatively equip/support yourself through withdrawal… which is temporary, I promise! To cope with all the emotions that came up I talked things through here on the Quit Train, came up with many activity distractions, shouted/cussed a lot, and gave myself permission to self-soothe in any way I needed to, EXCEPT by smoking. I eventually made it to the other side, and so can you!

Welcome aboard Newbies knowledge is power ,it’s what you fight this monster with We have tons of great information here Also videos to watch Lookkng forward to getting to know you better 🐸

@SD2026 I'm doing okay. I keep having to change my quit date but I had a new shipment of patches come today so I have one on and going to keep moving forward. It's just been a stressful time around here but I'm learning to navigate it and looking up coping skills of how to deal with emotions. I started my finalquit today and I will not give up. I'm anxiously waiting to tell y'all when I have 24 hours smoke free! Thank you for checking on me 😊
