G’day NOPE .....Not One Puff Ever.... (replace Ever with Min,Hour, Day as required)

NOPE!!!!!!

Aw thanks, Jillar! I am feeling tons better today. Doctor said I had exacerbated COPD. Gave me a shot in the butt and 5 days of prednisone and an antibiotic. Breathing much better and less wheeze and cough. Looking forward to that improving over the next few days. I'm still a non smoker! Day 7!! Still getting regular cravings but shifting thought process and tasks and moving thru them.

NOPE...

NOPE!

NOPE!!!

Having a glass of white and a slice of Christmas cake ....might come back for seconds lol... I'm worth it !!!!

Nope

Hi @ItsDeb, we were just thinking about you and hope you're feeling better today

Hi everyone! I'm looking forward to a very successful NOPE commitment. I'm currently on day 3 after 40+years of smoking. I have COPD, asthma, bronchitis and am just done taking meds so I can breathe enough to smoke. How ridiculous is that? But I've been doing it for years. Hubby still smokes but not in the house. Today is the hardest day so far. The coughing is annoying as hell and starting to give me a headache. I can and will do this. One day at a time. Congrats to all the success stories on here!

Good thing my butt has plenty of cushion I'm definitely looking forward to less COPD issues. I just hate it's taken me this long to get to this point. But NOPE it is!

Great job Debs....and JH..... Upwards and Onwards !!!

Welcome Patricia. Congratulations on your 9 months! Hopefully the no-nicotine-blues have subsided for you if that was an issue. 9 months lady you have it licked! Pat yourself on the back and enjoy the forum!

NOPE

NOPE!!!

Yay Jeff!! I'm glad you're still on board with me! We've so got this!!

That's Great News! I'm glad to hear you are feeling better! I somewhat understand what you are going through. My wife has had chronic bronchitis for about eight years (OPD). She uses an inhaler daily. When she gets really sick, she also has to take antibiotics and prednisone. Several times she has been given so much prednisone that she gets real puffed up and it can take months for her to get back to normal. She has never smoked, the doctors tell her that her attacks are triggered by allergies. Mostly certain types of mold. It's rough at times. Well, it's day seven for us. We can do this! Jeff

Welcome aboard Deb. hope you feel better and the doctor is a good idea if you get feeling worse. It`s tough but will be well worth it. I smoked just about as long as you have and you still see a lot of improvement. hang in there. best wishes.

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

Quitting will stop the acceleration of C.O.P.D.... Best thing you can do for your health Deb's .... Jab in the butt.......Ouch !!!!!

Hi Deb, I'm glad you're feeling better already. Congratulations on a week quit, you too @JH63, you guys got this!

Great job JH! Quit as many times as you have to until your quit really sticks! Watch the Joel Spitzer videos for motivation and good counsel. Kinda like your own personal therapist. This is a great place to educate yourself and get support. Just keep quitting til the quit sticks!

NOPE...

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

Welcome aboard the Quit Train Deb. Grab a seat and stay awhile. Don't ever forget that. You control your own destiny. Congratulations on making a great decision for yourself.

Hello and Welcome... I was a 52 year Smoker....Quitting is so doable .... Get yourself familiar with the board .... Read and Watch everything .... Knowledge will be your weapon .... Fight the Monster .... We can get you to Freedom ....you just need the desire to get there ....

Welcome Deb. You are doing a great thing in quitting smoking. It is truly a life changing journey. Stick close to this site, read up on nicotine addiction, and reach out for help here if needed. It is good to have you here.

Welcome Deb, You have just made two of the best decisions of your life. First you became a non smoker and kicked that nasty habit to the curb. Secondly, you got on the quit train. This is where you want to be for knowledge and support. So, grab a seat and enjoy the ride to a happier and healthier version of yourself.

Hi Deb We are quit twins! I’m on day 3 as well. Glad you are here.

Way to go Jeff and Deb. You got through hell week. Reward yourself for a job well done.

NOPE

Stupid people are of great entertainment value.

Nope!

NOPE

I hope you get some help with your coughing issues when you go to the clinic. If it doesn't feel right to you, you should get it checked out. Especially with everything that is going around right now. Day 5 is behind me also. It was a little better day for me too. I pray that tomorrow is as good. I'm spending a lot of time using distractions to get past the urges and cravings. An air cigarette made out of a straw, hard candy, etc.. Sometimes all I need to do is just change what I'm doing, or where I'm at in the house for a little while. For as severe as they can be at times, they really don't last that long. Take Care! Jeff

Way to go and congratulations, Martian! All that money saved and life earned back! Woohoo!

When I read Take Smoking Off The Table No Matter What !!! It sank into my addict brain ... I repeated this .....alot ..... We all have to find what works best ...Way to go Deb's ...

I am hanging in there! I don't feel very good at times. I slept a lot today! I'm happy to talk to someone else who is also this early in their quit. Sorry to hear about the headaches! Part of my quit plan is to cut my caffeine intake in half. I learned that from one of Joel's videos. He explains that caffeine reacts differently in our bodies during the early part of our quit. I don't know if you drink caffeine regularly, but if you do you might want to reduce that drink and replace it with something that has no caffeine. He explains that we can return to normal levels after we have been quit for awhile. I'm saying this because early in one of my past quits I had headaches at times and noticed I was drinking more caffeine than usual. It did stop the headaches and also reduced my level of nervousness. Just a thought! Take Care of that Great Quit you've got going! Jeff

Hi Patricia! Congratulations on your quit! I'm looking forward to being able to post that in 8 months and 26 days Cold Turkey here too!

Welcome Deb, great to see you on the train, dig those heels in and believe in yourself, you can do this.

Welcome Deb. I was a 42 year smoking addict and only found success quitting after finding this forum. Here, you will find plenty of information, support, humor and friendship. At day 3, you almost have the nicotine out of your system and will find you just have to power through the craves. You can do this!

Welcome aboard Patricia and congratulations on your nine month quit!

Welcome to our site, Patricia, and congratulations on nine months smoke free. That is awesome.

Congrats, Deb! Welcome to our support group. So glad that you decided to quit and there was no better time than 3 days ago. Stay active and post as often as you like. We're open 24/7 and somebody is always on the board if you need anything.

Thanks, Jillar! Happy to hear of your success. I'll definitely be on this board a lot. Glad to have found you all!
