Congratulations on 9 months smoke free, Shane! Thanks for all the awesomeness that you add here.

Congratulations Rose! Awesome job!

NOPE - I don't smoke anymore.

Hoping for the best for the folks in Florida and Georgia, in the direct path of Michael. South Carolina and North Carolina are also in his path as a tropical storm. There wasn't much flooding in my area but areas closely south of here are still dealing with high rivers, flooding damage, etc. The last thing they need is more rain.

Great stuff, T4C! What you are going through sounds normal. It might not feel this way but you are doing great!

NOPE

I had a number of short quit attempts over my past few years as a smoker and became very discouraged. I found that joining a quit smoking support group, like this one, really helped me quit smoking for good and I might not have quit otherwise. You will gain a lot of support in your quit journey as well as learn a lot about nicotine addiction (knowledge is power). It will also help hold you accountable in your quit. Being active here can really help, especially in the early days.

Welcome, Time4Change. Congratulations on quitting smoking. It is great to have you here.

Congratulations on 1 year smoke free, Sparkzzz! I hope you celebrate your big accomplishment today.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm sorry to hear about all that you are going through, Linda, and it is good that you used this place to vent. That is a healthy release and helps to try to put things into perspective. You know that smoking will only make things worse so I'm glad you decided to express your frustrations instead. Your quit is very important and don't ever let anything jeopardize it.

Good job fighting through this and definitely throw those cigarettes away. Flush them down the toilet. I had a similar experience around my 8 month mark after several easy months in my quit. I was very frustrated but craves can creep up on you out of nowhere sometimes. Just remember that the crave will go away and that lighting up a cigarette will just make things a lot worse.

Congratulations on your first year smoke fee, Jet Black! I hope you celebrate a job well done.

Congratulations Weegie!

Congratulations Jayhawk!

NOPE - smoking sucks!

Congratulations Octain!

Great job, DragonsFancy!
