Wow! This is very unfortunate news. Sorry to hear your friend has taken a sudden turn for the worse health wise. Double whammy having to deal with your overbearing parents on the drive home. I hope you can just tune them out while you remember all the goodness your friend has brought into your life over the years. I'm sure the feeling is mutual with your friend. Let us know how you're doing when you can please. You have an army of quitters here ready and willing to support you.

Hey, congrats TobacNO! Where you been lately? I hope you have just been too busy quitting to post up. That 1st month can be really tuff but now you're through that part. Not done your journey yet but well on your way to a life long quit. Keep it up! Hope you celebrated in some special way because the 1st month is a huge milestone

That's a good thing Remember that feeling because it will become your new normal the longer you stay quit! Don't be disappointed if it fades suddenly. That's just part of the process of getting back to normal. Your addiction will try and make you feel insecure still in the hopes you will light one up again. You won't though because you're smoke-free now That feeling of control, will revisit you more often now as you continue to NOPE!

If you have learned a lesson because of what happened to you on the weekend and can put that to use in your new quit then that's a good thing. You shouldn't worry about what others might think but be only concerned for your own well being and that would include a successful quit! That one should be at the top of your list for a better life. You did all the planning before so, let's get you off those smokes for good. Stay close to this place for the first while anyway. Support and education about smoking is important in the early days. Welcome back Lilly

Nope!

Love this! The misty reflection on the water is fabulous Great shot P!

Yes. Try anything and everything to get into a new mindset. You never know what might work to relax you a little more.

Yes! That's what we're talking about. Doesn't need to be fancy or expensive. Just something special that you will enjoy

Sorry to hear you're having sleep issues. That really does wear thin pretty quickly. Hope you find a solution to it soon and get some much needed rest. Some of the quit symptoms we have to go through in the early days are certainly annoying but in the end, well worth it considering the benefits you will gain. Freedom from this addiction does not come easily but it is there for all who are strong enough to pay their dues. Fight on Pumpkin! You'll get there

^^^ Nothing wrong with being busy with life Kelly. That's kind of why we quit this horrible addiction so we have more time on this earth to do just that

LOL - Yeah. He probably left the stadium on his own to go home and pack up all his worldly belongings. There'll be no living in Houston for that guy after his ill-advised catch attempt May have cost them 2 runs? We'll never know for sure.

Sorry for your loss Jim. It's great you have the pride of your freedom from bowing to your addiction to look to for comfort. I know the feeling as I too went through some stressful times this summer and never even considered lighting one up It's great to reach that point in your quit!
