Love these words! I referred to that saying often in my early quit days. Now- I turn to it for other things- like eating better, exercise, etc.

@JustinHoot99 Welcome!!! I loved reading in your intro that you acknowledged the waves of craves that will creep in. You’ve taken charge already! We’re glad to have you! Tons of support here!!! L4L -
Congratulations @Kris! 3 months is a major milestone! The craves will ease off in time. L4L

@Tara smith Make this place your second home. Get comfy and stick around. A forum like this helped me quit & saved my quit many times. Don’t feel like typing a bunch? Play some games. Read old posts. Stay preoccupied & the crave will pass. They really do!! For high anxiety days: deep breaths. I used a straw to mimic a cig. Come to find out, when I got stressed out- my body was craving deep , clean breaths- not smoky, carcinogenic clouds of junk. I stopped using a straw after about a month. The prop was no longer needed. It didn’t reinforce the habit - it just helped me adjust. It was a familiar action. Quitting is possible. Often not fun. But 100% doable. L4L

So…how many of you are now singing the Violent Femmes? I was just deleting and reviewing apps on my handy dandy device. So many that I don’t use anymore… got to let them go! I came across one that I hadn’t seen in quite sometime. It was buried between useless clutter. This app was once my lifeline. It is a ticker for smoking cessation. Once upon a time I opened it compulsively. How many minutes have I been smoke free? How many cigarettes have I avoided? How much of my lung and heart health has improved? FFS is the Nicodemon’s poison out of me yet? Today I deleted a bunch of apps. I opened my ticker/counter app. My last cigarette was 4 years 324 days ago. I haven’t smoked 35,694 cigarettes. Which means $12,493.19 didn’t go up it smoke. I’m keeping the app on my phone. Just like I’m keeping my quit!! Let your numbers grow! When you add it up- you will beam with pride! L4L

Awesome quit you got growing!! Congratulations!!

I think you do give a shit. By venting you have extended an arm. Let this place pull you out of the dark pit. Keep your quit. Keep venting.
