Welcome, Kendranz! So glad you found us! Just hang tight to Not One Puff Ever, and you will be fine. Remember, a real physical craving only lasts 3-5 minutes and you can stand anything for that long. Be sure to have frequent snacks or juice as quitting plays havoc with blood sugar. Congratulations on 7 days!

Hi, Laura! I will join you....NOPE for me!

Awww, Bakon, everyone knows that I am crazy about you and your sense of humor. You've had a rough year, but have been here for us and kept us laughing. Congratulations on two years from Egg number One!

Okay if I am the wing nut?

Keep up the great work, Laura!!

One week is fabulous!!! You are doing great!!

So exciting!!

Of course I like everything you do! You keep us all on track, but keep us from taking ourselves too seriously! :wub:

Yes, just like that!

Hi, Wendy! Just a couple of helpful hints...if you will use the "Quote" button when responding directly to someone, they will get a notification of your reply and know to come back to the thread and read. Also if you would like a quit meter like many of us have in our signatures, instructions for several sites are below. Again, so glad you are here! You make your own ticker...If you want one similar my top one click on mine, it will take you to the Ticker Factory website. Click All Tickers on the right, and then Event under Wedding, Birthday, Anniversary, and you can choose your own wording, etc. You enter your information and create your ticker. Then, copy the address they give you. Come back here and click on My Profile (in drop down by your name) and the click Edit Profile. Select signature on the left side, and then paste the address in the signature box. When you click Save Changes the ticker appears! Just a note…The ticker doesn't always show up on the smartphone version of the posts, but you will be able to see it appear on the PC and tablet versions. If you want one similar my bottom one go to Tina's Quit Meter Create your ticker, and instead of copying the address, right click on the ticker and Copy Image, and then come paste in signature box. Lots of us have two tickers because we like the pretty top one, but like that the bottom one keeps track of the cigs we have not smoked and the money. I hope this helps! Another one that is popular comes from TickerClub. Go there and choose the Smoking category. Make your ticker, copy address, come back to Edit signature and paste address...when you click Save Changes your ticker will appear! For one like the one above, just click on it and it will take you to the site. Make your ticker, copy address, come back to Edit signature and paste address...when you click Save Changes your ticker will appear!

The thread is "Think you need just one", and it is at the top of that forum, now. To answer your question, Yes, it does get easier! Quitting is a roller coaster, good moments, bad moments, good days, bad days, etc. Before you know it the good moments and days start to outnumber the bad ones. But there are still ups and downs.
