Thanks @Cbdave AND thanks for keeping the Daily Pledge going every day. A great service especially for the newbies.

@Paul723 Thanks AND look at you at almost 13 years free! Woo Hoo! Keep enjoying your Freedom!

@SD2026 Thank you! And look at YOU at over 6 months smoke free! WTG! Keep it up!

Fourteen Years Smoke Free Amazing, stupendous, who would have "thunk" it. True BUT I am not a super human being endowed with special powers nobody else possesses. It is an awesome accomplishment that smokers who choose to quit CAN absolutely achieve for themselves. The old "See It -- Believe It -- Achieve It" saying does apply somewhat but the practical steps also very much need to be in place. My personal motto to gain smobriety is "Choose It -- Plan It -- Work It". Educate yourself about nicotine addiction. Prepare for your quit. Use all the resources and tools available to you. A big piece of a successful quit is knowing you don't have to do it alone. Support is here in this community. Use this resource. It may be hard to quit but it really is quite simple and so very doable once you have your chosen tools in place. Remember NOPE. The "Not One Puff Ever " rule is KEY f you seek smobriety. Whatever it takes for you to get through the early days, "messy and hard" or "easy", it makes no difference to your ultimate success. It will not always be the way it is now. Things will change. YOU will change. If staying smoke free didn't get easier and change us for the better nobody would remain quit. Reach out for the peace and gratefulness you will find in smobriety. It's there for you to claim as your own. Never doubt you CAN quit and CAN stay quit. Every single day, month, and year you are quit is a reason to celebrate. Shout yours out! Celebrate it! See you all on the Freedom Trail.

You really don't want to be sick and tired of being sick and tired for the rest of your life so quitting right now and staying quit is the only way forward. Focusing now on your LAST AND FINAL QUIT (), you must fight it! Do what you have to do to get through those cravings (within reason lol). Keep pledging your NOPE every day, every single day! I'm not sure if you have but please do! Makes a huge difference. If you don't and you're struggling, post in the SOS thread! You have options there, use them! You can do this.

Shy I know I’m right I spent decades on the same wheel Dont wait until you have been given the news you just don’t want to hear like me I faced amputation I had run out of chances Yes it will be tough for a while , but once you’re over the other side you will so glad to be free .. Lets gets this done , we are all here to help you through

Hi @shy Sorry to hear that you went back to your addicitons. It happens to many of us, but you need to learn what to do when you get a really bad urge! There is an SOS section for when you think you are going to smoke. As soon as you get that bad urge where you want to smoke, come on here and post an SOS post. Since our members are from all over the world, someone is usually online. I had to use the SOS section once in my not so early quit, maybe between 8 months to a year and a half, I don't really remember exactly. Denali was there to get me through it! Thanks @DenaliBlues Shy, I am hopefull that this will be the last time you go smoke again! Oh and if you have any cigs, lighters, matches, etc, THROW THEM AWAY RIGHT NOW!!! AS SOON AS YOU READ THIS!! You know how difficult it is to quit, right, and you get lots of urges when you quit, right? Ok, my question to you is, do you like getting those urges? I know the answer is No! But, you do realize, every time you go back to smoking, you are going back to square one with those horrible withdrawal symptoms! Do you want to keep repeating such horrible feelings in your body and mind for so long? I know I didn't want to! This is the second time I have quit, and I am NOT going back, I can't, I think if I did, it would kill me at this stage of my life. Not that I'm old, but I still want to be here. Believe me, if I can do it, anyone can. My 100 year old mom lives downstairs from me, so I smell her smoking. I am also down there several times a day to check on her. Thankfully for a person of that advanced age, she is doing great! Sometimes the smoke bothers me, but not very often. But like I said, if I can do it with all this temptation, ANYONE CAN!!! Anyway Shy, YOU CAN DO THIS!!! YOU, just have to have patience. I shouldn't be one to talk as I was very impatient in the beginning, but I was determined. GO FOR IT!!!

Go for it @shy !!
