Welcome Steve, I lurked for the first 10 months of my quit and used that time to educate myself about nicotine addiction. It was and remains eye opening and a process that continues even with a six year quit. The knowledge must be assimilated completely. This empowers a successful quit. We must recognize junkie thoughts and Red Flags and shut them down Immediately ! Relapses are always premeditated. Only you bring that cigarette to your lips and make the choice to breath in poison, it never just magically appears. Understanding NOPE, committing to NOPE and standing by that commitment is the only way to break the bondage. Keep watching our friend, Joel Spitzer's Video Index. Watch them over and over and over and read all the information here until your eyes bleed. Stay honest with yourself and save your life. Keep close here, the more involved you are in your quit, the less likely failure. Congratulations on your quit, Steve, build it with knowledge and commitment and truth. You will succeed. S

and this from our friend, Joel Spitzer

Smoking Leaves Lasting Marks On DNA

@forestgreen I just bumped this thread but, in case you miss it, have a look Hey-you-smoked-for-42-years-why-on-earth-would-you-think-you-can-get-past-the-addiction-in a couple of months, cut yourself some slack Smoking changed our DNA and the addiction is with us forever. All we can do is put it to sleep and stand guard over our quit. It is to be expected that associations and odd triggers will pop up, even over the course of our life. These are never commands just reminders to hold fast to our commitment to NOPE (Not One Puff Ever)

Welcome, Steve ! I was a lurker for the first 10 months of my quit and have a special place in my heart for lurkers. Congratulations for quitting smoking ! Nine Days of Freedom. NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE

Hello Steve, I had a big scare and want to avoid meds if I safely can. I quit drinking for a while, cut out all caffeine, no smoking (of course), paid Extreme attention to diet...way less salt more potassium, oatmeal, berries, ACV, greens... and was able to bring BP down to a safe level not requiring meds. Good luck with this, monitor yourself and don't fool around, we don't want you stroking out or kaput. and welcome to the site, @Steve63!
