Wow just got a call from the hospital, they want to Take pictures of my heart working and the compromised arteries. Here's hoping for good results !

If you erase all the mistakes of your past you would also erase all of the wisdom of your present remember the lesson not the disappointment

“Pay it forward” Express your quit. Your first, second, third, the sticky. Every battle, every loss, every win. Victory!!! Each and every expression on this site has impressed upon me an affirmation, a warning, guidance, and encouragement to stay on the train. I would be drowning in all kinds of anti-self mental states without the input of other passengers. I am so thankful I found this forum and that I have found my quit.

Keep on keepin on @Robbie, you are doing great .

NOPE!

NOPE!!!!!!

Phew !!!!. I would rather talk about your impressive rod ....than a tin full of maggots !!!!

Did I mention that I have a nine-foot rod? I know how to get Doreen interested in fishing talk.

That is great news Robbie!

Markus Quit Date: 02-19-2008 Posted October 28, 2018 · IP (edited) I haven't been around that much but I was here yesterday and was glad to see all of the long quits. I haven't written in a few years but would like to post a few thoughts about the quit process. Looking at the new and young quits, and the never-ending fight to gain a foothold on the sticky quit, I just wanted to let the newer quits I see on the QT know, that you'll get there too, by sticking to your plan and what you will learn as you stay quit. This is only a mind game, where your self control is being tested constantly. It wears on you as you overcome the triggering of craves through attrition, trying to process them simply as your mind/body healing itself naturally through recognition and reaction. That someting so elementary is so taxing is hard to understand sometimes. It really requires no action other than acknowledgement of the particular craving and the processing of it. Repetition is the key. The first triggers and craves that you will defeat are the ones you encounter the most. The most infrequent ones are the last to fall, and they do, through repetition. If you will just keep doing your normal daily and nightly activities sans the nicotine delivery, eventually you'll roll over the addiction and leave it behind. Sounds overly simplistic reading this but remember that you will trigger and crave and try to understand what caused it. Don't be alarmed and dont make a hasty judgement, because sometimes you can't put your finger on the particular cause to your effect. Could be romancing the cigarette subconsciously and missing that old smoky life, since things have changed and you don't know who you are sometimes. I mean you were this... smoker... and now maybe scared and are wanting to go back to what you see as normal. That is when you get tough and remember that you control your own mind and heart and that you call the shots. It's okay to feel weak, but know that you didn't get this way in a few days so it will take a few months of honest work to get out of the hole. You will make it, even if you feel like you won't. This will not kill you but it will make you unbelievably strong if you'll just stick to your quit plan and your back up plan, and allow yourself some time to heal. So be militant anti smoking, and remember that you are in a fight and that you are unwinding your whole being from the addiction so walk like it and act like it. Once smoking and cigarettes were every part of you, and now...well now they are not. That hurts and that is painful, but it is the work you have to do, so let the process work. Pay it forward, and stay as strong as you can as you use what you have learned. And if you fall, it isn't the end. You start again. A dream becomes a wish, and that wish becomes your reality as you work the quit. Time is on your side now, so dont give that addiction any more of you. You're in control of your mind and body and you've taken the chains off. Don't put them back on. KTQ Link to original post: https://www.quittrain.com/topic/11327-the-rear-view-mirror-and-years-quit/

It’s funny when you log in from a mobile phone and you reply to a topic only to realize later you’re 10 comments behind

Happy Mother's Day to all the mother's on the train.

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

NOPE...

If you focus on results,you will never change.if you focus on change, you will get results

You must make a decision that you are going to move on. It won't happen automatically you will have to rise up and say I don't care how hard it this is I don't care how hard this is I don't care how disappointed I am I'm not going to let this get the best of me I'm moving on with my life

Somebody get Ringo a snare drum or at the very least a tambourine. Paul has his bass. John and George each have a guitar...kinda feels like they hung Ringo out to dry on this one.

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

Didn't understand....but sounded fun with your big Stonefly Hatch ...going with your little Sally Fly...lol....

This why I prefer to use the desktop site @AceWhiteAceWhite

Overcast sky. With the exception of an occasional breeze, not much wind to speak of. Had a big stonefly hatch. The browns were really biting my little yellow sally fly...It was a good day.

Happy Mother's Day to all the special ladies out there. Sugar Britches had a wonderful first Mother's Day. And Papa Boo found out those non-toxic ink pads that you use so your little one can "sign" a card with their footprints and handprints are messier than advertised.

Congratulations Robbie. The good days are going to outnumber the bad looking forward. Reap the benefits and enjoy your newfound freedom.

Everything is difficult before it gets easy

NOPE!

To all the women fulfilling motherly roles (wearing many hats) and making their health a priority too, a big hug, kiss and a wish for a very Happy Mother's Day! Hope you all get spoilt rotten

I just thought I would drop by to say that today was the first day during this quit that I felt really happy about not being a smoker! This is big for me as I have suffered from quite bad depression and loads of tears through most of my quit attempt, but today I felt really good about it...so many things; I can smell again, enjoying the taste of food, I have spare cash (bought myself some nice food while listening to live music), noticed it's a little easier for me to breathe and I'm no longer worried that I stink of cigarettes when someone comes close to me to talk. I have no idea how long this feeling will last, but just for today...it felt really good!

Hi y'all.... I'm here

Thanks everyone, it was tough but I got there!!!

Good for you @AceWhite! Big congratulations to you!!

Looking for an excuse and a destination for a short road trip this weekend. We'll be going down to Florida in ten days, but I just picked up my new truck this afternoon and want to get some road miles on it. The first accessory I put in the new truck: a brand new car seat. The little gal can ride in style and comfort.

Dianne, it's great to see you guarding your quitting and seeing the victories each day. Please post and share your experiences here - when my quit was new, I posted here daily I think. Nobody in my real life really understood what I was going through and it helped to have people who understood it. The support and words of fellow posters were my strengths then. Stay close here and stay positive. You're doing great.
