A non-smoking diabetic is much fitter and healthier than a rasping,wheezing smoking diabetic. Thank you, Quit Train, for saving my life and giving me such an enormous wealth of wisdom and knowledge.

I've just had some tinned halved peaches in syrup and sent my blood sugar in my insulin resistant type two diabetes mellitus up to 24.7 mmol. Earlier on I had a melted cheese toasted sandwich. I'm still on the cold turkey Quit

High five John .... One day at a time ...even one minute if need be ....this is how we all have done it ....

57mm Rain in Regional Coastal town Australia, in the past 48 hours. wouldn't sell for the world. Love it where I live.

Hi everyone! I'm on day 4 of the nicoderm CQ patch. Around 3 years ago I made it through the whole 10 weeks of the 3 step patches and had quit smoking for 6 months, then somehow started up again. I'm trying to give it another go because I know the patches work because I did it before. I was a previous pack and a half a day smoker. With the patch so far, I'm not feeling too bothered walking to work, at work, headed home or when I'm playing volleyball/keeping busy/taking my dog for walks. The hardest part is hanging out at home after work. I live alone and and am used to watching tv/smoking while watching at night. Now when I get home and have the whole night free sitting around my condo by myself, all I can do is think of smoking and how I enjoyed it relaxing at home. I'm fine all day long, it's when I get home I'm having the cravings/thoughts. Does anyone have any tips for this?

NOPE

NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Name: Boo Status: About six weeks shy of celebrating four years quit. What's new: Preparing for fatherhood. Selfie:

Have fun Jo! She will remember all the quality time you spend with her.

Linda 537 days quit I have entered the next phase of my life. I turned 65 yrs old yesterday.. My husband retired on December 31st. I do find he is a little hooked to my hip but it is wonderful to pick up and do what we want. I hope we can navigate this new period of our lives with little bumps. Hopefully quitting smoking gives us more time together and we stay healthy. I did gain quite a few quit smoking pounds but started the new year dieting. My husband and I have both lost 8 pounds each.

I've now taken my anti-diabetic Trulicity weekly injection. Tonight, at about seven ish I'll be sixty hours quit cold turkey. Tomorrow morning at sevenish I'll be seventy two hours quit cold turkey.

Your whole body will benefit so much being smoke free..I was a 52 year smoker John..the difference in my health is amazing ...keep at it ,and the magic will happen .... We are so happy to have you join this wonderful family ...we want you to succeed..

-7...lol....my hand is still red !!!

48 hours is awesome, John, congratulations ! Be mindful that your tolerance to coffee can change Possible Changes in Caffeine Tolerance You Quit Smoking ! Be sure to reward yourself with every crave/trigger conquered this helps re-route your brain The Significance of Rewards

Hang in there BeautifulAspie. You can do this. Stick close to the board. Lots of wonderful folks to help here. Good luck and best wishes.

Congratulations @Tylers1027 on taking back your life. You can keep this quit going. Stay close to the forum and keep your mind focused on the positives of quitting. When you are home, start a hobby or do a puzzle. Keep yourself busy. I promise it will get better each day!

Welcome aboard Tylers. Congratulations on quitting. Be careful with that kind of thinking. As smokers we gave the cigarette far more power than it ever deserved. The decision to smoke or not smoke is not a matter of chance. It is entirely a matter of choice. It always was and it always will be. Commit to the quit and drive on.

G’day bushfire humour got it from the convict side

G’day 125mm last night.... 5 inches. Lotsa places out west got some rains as well but not all. Not drought breaking but you got to start somewhere....

Hey everyone!!! I know it's been a while but I had some butt kicking to do - I was down but not out and now I'm back with a vengeance and 6 months smoke free!! Yea baby! My last scans were in Nov and showed that everything is shrinking and some even resolved so the target therapy is working. All my lymph nodes are back to normal (BTW I had no clue we had lymph nodes in our chest near our lungs). But there was one they were really worried about because it was pretty large so they were really excited to see that one go right back to normal w/in that short of time. Tomorrow I go back for my 2nd set of scans and hopefully it will all be good things! I've been working from home since they gave me the ok after they saw my scans and it has been good medicine. It seemed once I got back into my routine my appetite picked up, my mood picked up and I have more energy. Considering it all I feel really good!! I hope everyone is doing good with their quit! It's hard and to this day I will still get the urge and then it passes! NOPE!

Hold your ground, learn about the addiction. You quit smoking !!! You will never have to go through this again so take heart. Everything will get better and soon.

Drinking rum until nightwatchman knocks slosh

Hopefully relaxing! We got our first snow storm today. It is suppose to continue through tomorrow. Not bad considering we are half way through January!

Did you really enjoy the smoking? I mean REALLY? Think hard about it. What was it you "enjoyed"? Was it the sense of relaxation? Because you can get that from healthier means, like deep breathing, listening to relaxing music, meditation, drinking a cup of tea, etc. I became a huge fan of deep breathing when I quit. And one important thing to remember is that the sense of "relaxation" that we get from smoking is actually just relief from withdrawal. It's not true relaxation. I always thought smoking relaxed me, but after I quit I realized how much more relaxed I was overall without that constant nagging withdrawal. Did you enjoy having something to fill the time? That was a tough one for me when I first quit. I smoked so much and so often that once I quit I had to figure out new ways to fill those hours! I played a TON of Wordscapes on my phone when I first quit. What other activities can you do while you relax? Do you like to read? Watch movies? Play video games? Do jigsaw puzzles? You will find eventually that you are able to fill that time. It takes a while, but you'll get there. I now can enjoy simply "being." Sometimes I will just sit on my couch with my dog's head in my lap and just be still for a while. It's nice. Now think about all the things you didn't enjoy about smoking: - The smell - The cough - The cost - The stained fingers and teeth - The fear of smoking-related illness - The shortness of breath - The guilt and shame - The filthy disgusting ash trays (and having to clean them) - Etc., etc., etc. Smoking sucks. Breathing is so much better! You'll get there. You just need to retrain your brain. It takes time and a bit of work, but it's worth it. I promise.

Welcome back albert , The first few times it is a bit hard , because you are not serious enough . But after some time passes you will slowly start understanding the seriousness of this addiction . Then you will start putting more effort to stay away from smoking . Anyway good luck staying quit . Keep fighting the dullness and try to stay fresh somehow .
