Congratulations on 7 years smoke free, Paul. That is really awesome!

Wishing you a fast recovery, Michelle, and keep up the great work in your quit.

Welcome aboard, @Steven Drojensky and congratulations on deciding to quit smoking. Educating yourself about nicotine addiction and reaching out for support is what helped me and you can find the same support and knowledge on this site. I would definitely suggest sticking close to this site. Also, if you haven't done so, check out Allen Carr's book "The Easyway to Quit Smoking". People have different reactions to this book but it helped me see that smoking did nothing positive for me. Everything with smoking is negative. Once I finally accepted that and realized I was missing nothing positive by not smoking, quitting did become a much more desirable goal. Sazerac has an excellent post about how to navigate this site and to use it to help you in your quit. The link is below. Welcome aboard. You are doing a great thing by quitting smoking.

Congratulations Mona! You are doing great!

Congratulations on 5 months smoke free, Kate! Awesome job!

Yes, please let us know how you are doing, darcy. I'm sorry you are struggling but nothing is worth throwing away your quit.

Congratulations on your first week smoke free, Up In Smoke. Keep up the great work!

Welcome to our site, Linda. I'm sorry you relapsed but it is good that you are quitting again. I had a number of short quits I relapsed from before quitting for good. Learning about nicotine addiction and reaching out for support at a quit site similar to this one is what helped me quit for good and I'm sure it could help you too. If you haven't already read this post, click the link below for some good tips for using this site to help you in your quit. Quitting smoking can be challenging but it is definitely rewarding. Life as a non-smoker is worth any early struggles. Welcome again. It is good to have you here.

NOPE - Smoking sucks!

I'm sorry you are struggling but you did a great thing by posting and SOS instead of smoking. You have a great quit going and, just as Cristobal's post that Sazerac shared stated, you cannot let life's events dictate whether you smoke or not. Your quit is extremely important and you must protect it no matter what life throws your way. Great job in keeping your quit. You are a nonsmoker and do not need the filth of smoking in your life.

I've heard those tests are not fun. Best wishes with your surgery an I'm glad you are going into this nicotine free. Everything is better nicotine free.
