This is an awesome post, Jillar. Thank you so much. Quitting smoking is THE time to be completely honest with yourself and hence others. It's balls to the wall Truth Time. No longer can you believe the lies of addiction, your own lies. The old house of cards must come down giving you the opportunity to re-create yourself into a strong and truthful person. This truth, this honesty you start with yourself is a great gift that will serve you throughout your life.

Latest debacles...significant

Great news. The thoughts will get further and further apart...it has been MANY years since smoking seriously crossed my mind. Many years...like SIX. Bliss. Freedom. Hang in there, time is our friend. S

because of you sharing this and more serves as the beacon. There are many eyes out there/in here and your voice will resonate with many. Thank you for sharing your quit with us, Nana.

You are a beacon of light, Nana.

This is splendid news, Nana ! Continue to reward yourself and hold fast to your commitment to NOPE. and ENJOY every moment of your freedom !

Now I'm just going to hope that tomorrow is better. Tomorrow will be different, sometimes better sometimes not. Tomorrow will bring new challenges and new triumphs. Stay with NOPE, etch it into your soul. "couldn't quit thinking about smoking” Just Think Of Something Else "That four weeks quit was a goal for me. I reached it, and it was like I didn't know what to do after I reached it. “ Boy do I deserve a cigarette for that "I'm still not thinking of myself as a non smoker." What should I call myself? " I'm thinking of myself as a smoker who is trying to stay quit for a certain length of time, not forever! “ For former smokers not celebrating a major milestone today I’m trying to quit smoking One day at a time

Congratulations Jeff on your First Month of Freedom. You are well on your way now leaving all doubt behind. You quit smoking. That is that. Now, you can live free.

Let me go find the band. I am so happy for you, Mona ! Throughout our lives we may have triggers or urges or thoughts about nicotine but, we now know how to NOPE our ways through them. That is all it is, vigilance and maintenance. You are a FREE person now. FREE. FREE. FREE. Celebrate wildly.

8 thanks for getting us out of The Fun House, Chicks.

Emissary ridiculed secrets

I noticed gangrene

Hey y'all ! would you let me out of The Fun Room ? The sticks locked the door by mistake and I've been here what seems like days. Thanks, in advance.

Occultism needs seers

Hey, good luck tomorrow, @Mac#23. I have every confidence in you and send you wind for your sails. I spent too long setting up a still life photo for a new study, future painting. But, it is just a sort of joke-y thing punning on Life Is Just A Bowl Of Cherries (please give a listen) with Bowls Of Cherry

13 ahhh. the morning punishments right on time. sigh

I have crushes on everybody, just like in real life. bakon has tried to lay a sobriquet on me but nothing has stuck. just like in real life. I have been very impressed with Mee and MLMR on their transformations from smokers to free women. Quantum leaps they have negotiated with a lot of grace. I am impressed with everyone who walks this walk. Babs always ripped her hosiery in bacon's back seat and left unmentionables behind. Well, not to single her out. All the eggs are guilty of that. Lots of babies have been born from smoke free parents. Leanna, Sarah, Action, Aruba, soon Boo. There are more, I am forgetting. We are a fertile bunch. Do you remember the Man Cave that the chicks took over ? I think we burned it down by accident. Something about a cleaning lady with fire. Where is that thread, so full of mirth ? Funny, the Sticks of the Day started out as hard bodies and quickly degenerated into phallic symbols of humor. We've got some really funny Chicks on QTrain. Chicks of the Day died, y'all get tired of air-brushed bodies and fake bosoms? tee hee hee. Sometimes I will find a thread where a now successful quitter expressed doubt or concern. These are so poignant. We come so far on this journey and leave so much doubt and fear behind.

5 how's the game going, sticks ?

unrelenting idiocy resolved

The Significance of Rewards

here are some resources addressing these things, John even though each quit is different, we share so many similarities with each other . Everyone Is Different and this one addresses your comment of never being in the normal state of a non-smoker. What Should I Call Myself

oh, right. the victorious Sticks. lucky to be here and catch a BIG 0 and return to The Fun Room. sigh geeze no BIG O. you ol meanie, Reci -1

Macky Mac. You don't smoke. You understand that smoking doesn't alleviate stress, it creates stress. Try not to future trip about what happens when it gets busy at work. You will face the triggers as you've faced previous triggers, successfully. Lean in on your new confidence, your trust in yourself. You will not fail. We are here to cheer you on...can you hear the crowd roar ?!
