Hello everyone. I just want to thank you all and announce that Anita(my wife) and I are 50 days Nicotine-FREE!! She quit cold turkey and I have about one month of patches. Last time Anita didn't commit to quitting and I went on the journey alone. This time we both quit and for good! Wish us luck as we go forward. Thanks. I'll pop in every once in a while to keep you all posted.8 points

Yesterday I got a bed frame delivered and decided to put it together. It's one of those frames where you don't need a box spring just a mattress on top. Well it took me two hours to finally get it right. Something a 10 year old could probably have done in half an hour. But when I finally finished and sat down I realized that the whole time I worked on that frame I never thought of a cigarette. That for me was a first. First time without the constant thought of cigarettes felt so good. So I got out of my pajamas today and decided to find things to do to focus on something other than smoking. Staying busy does help.7 points

One thing that has helped me is singing the No No song by ringo starr. Maybe you remember it, it goes: No no no no, I don't smoke it no more I'm tired of waking up on the floor No thank you please it only makes me sneeze And then it makes it hard to find the door. Now I've added a little fun into my quit. Try it you might like it!5 points

Staying busy AND productive does help. Not only does it distract us from the craving but we begin to feel better about ourselves. I'm glad you are doing well!5 points

"Two puppies!" I love the idea! I've been thinking about it, too. Sofia had an expensive year with surgery, but for my 3-year anniversary...there just might be another puppy in Sofia's and my future! The puppy in this photo (in the chair, purple cover) is Sophia, aged almost 8 years old. The tiny dog my son is holding in the palm of his hand in my ... what do you call it, an avatar photo? is Marius, who passed away four years ago, today, at age 13, of heart failure.5 points

I remember when you first joined and were unsure that you could do it. Then Mrs. Sal said she would join you. Like they say, many hands make light work, two heads are better than one, true love always wins. I am so happy for the both of you!4 points

Sometimes the train makes unscheduled stops and then you get to ride along time without interruption. Check the maps for your destination to get on the right platform. You will get there then.2 points

What they said. It does get easier but it won't so long as we cave to the crave. Have patience with yourself. Know and trust that it will pass. I think we can trust @jillar and @Doreensfree on that score. I am experiencing much more freedom these days so I can safely represent that. But I don't know (yet) what it feels like to be fully out of the woods. I am very vigilant. Spent about an hour on here just looking at relapse stories. Not sure why but I am really grateful for those who posted. Keeps me honest. Thank you everyone-hope your day(s) are going well!2 points

@kenzie_peyton, So nice to meet a fellow Texan. I am an old lady, 62, been there and don't want to be there again. Gonna give you the truth straight up. You are so young, you have got to stop smoking right now. If you do not you will become one of us old people around town coughing like a lung is going to pop out any minute. Don't tell me you have not seen/heard it. I am so grateful I do not do that anymore. It is enough to make people sick. Next thing, you think it won't happen to you. If you continue to smoke you will have the most horrible wrinkles across your upper lip. When you see old ladies whose lipstick bleeds up into those wrinkles, you will not have to worry about that. Of course, the main thing is your health but you are a beautiful young woman and you will be so all of your life if you quiit for good.1 point
