MarylandQuitter

Very sweet picture!  Please don't ever give up on your quit.  You're quitting for you which I guarantee that is what your Dad wanted.  Make the day you quit a very special day.  Mark it on the calendar and have it mean something that you protect and keep it safe from everything, no matter what happens.

"You Never Smoked, How Can You Know What I Am Going Through?"

My last text message on my phone from Beth was from January 26th, 2016.  It read, "Hey just for laughs can you put a judge judy pic on my post?"  She was referring to a .GIF of Judge Judy with her eyes rolling and she wanted it in her signature, where it was but she since removed it.

Once things calm down and we know more, we'll celebrate Beth's life and make an appropriate tribute to her on QuitTrain.  My heart is broken right now.

I know for me, I'd much rather deal with withdrawal than any of the diseases caused by smoking.  Actually, I'd rather deal with withdrawal than even having the flu.

Big change from the farm.  Hang in there and stay strong.

Not yet.  The forum will be down for a short time during the transfer.  :)  Once I get everything coordinated I'll update everybody.

lol  Ponderosa?  They're still around?

You've been awesome since day one and I'm so thankful that not only you're here, but also that you're nearly a year quit!  Only a few short weeks and you'll be back in the states with your man.  Lots of good things on the horizon.  :)

I hope that everyone who is wondering what life will be like without cigarettes reads this.

Quit now and let your body get to the business of healing itself.  :)

It's the strongest encryption available.  :)

Vent away, Chrysalis.  We're here for you and you and your Mom will be in our thoughts.

Your post above reminds me of this song that also reminds me of my childhood.  Good stuff.  :)

I know all the answers to your questions.  Yes to all 3!  Who cares how many attempts you've made at quitting?  You know how many times I told my wife I was going to quit and she just rolled her eyes and said "didn't you just say that yesterday?"  Then I would come up withe some excuse.  I quit for me.  I didn't give a damn what anybody thought about my success or failure.

Screw everybody else.  This is about you.  Please stop messing around with your life and quit.  Look, this may be hard for you to quit or it might not.  Right now your mind is your own worst enemy.  Your inner junkie, strung out on nicotine, is telling you that you're going to fail, that you don't have the strength and the truth is that it's telling you that you don't want to quit.  You're believing the lies.  Smoking is of no benefit to you!  All you're doing is chasing temporary relief from withdrawal and torturing yourself, not to mention slowly killing yourself. 

This is what it's come down to.  It's time to quit smoking and stop listening to the lies in your head. 

Look at your quit buddy, IamDoingIt.  He posted a great thread the other day about his relapse and his newfound commitment to quitting.

And every time people in this country buy cigarettes, a good portion of the proceeds go to this.  They're up to a lot more than this too.

I will seriously kick your ass if it's not.  Well, not really but you're gonna make it stick this time.  Don't give in anymore.  Don't settle for anything less than the freedom that you deserve.  Don't ever give an inch to this addiction.

If I can stay quit, trust me, you certainly can too.

You're a good guy, Jimmy.

This was the same day I quit.
