Congrats on 5 years Boo. Get ready for the big ball and try not to faint this time.

Replacing something that will kill you (smoking) with something that's good for you (walking).....how smart is that? I'd say it's brilliant!

So close.....you can almost touch it. Congratulations on 11 months Mac.

Health Freedom Wealth All good reasons to stay the course. Congrats on the first two weeks CL. Nicely done.

Two months is a great reason to celebrate. Keep stayin' alive @JH63

Cuchi Cuchi! Big time celebration for @Kate18!

For @Kdad and all the others who are still trying. Grasshopper wasn’t able to snatch the pebble from Master Kan’s hand on the first attempt (or multiple subsequent attempts). But once he truly immersed himself in the endeavor he finally succeeded and found true freedom. Keep trying until you succeed. It really is worth the effort.

One month is an amazing accomplishment @JH63. Be proud.

Happy to deny RJ Reynolds the $ from the 47,825 that I would have bought (assuming I was still around).

Answer to this IQ test is: Amazing number of months you've been free. Congratulations!

Really happy for you Roz. Congratulations and KTQ.

Linda Perhaps I did not communicate very clearly or perhaps it was interpreted wrong. It doesn't matter. Let's move on now. The basic thing is I support your effort to keep this quit going. Whatever way you want to get there is perfectly fine. Just get there. Last post from me on this topic. Best of luck to you.

I can assure you that quitting was one of the most difficult things I've ever done and it was often miserable. I smoked for 39 years and was as addicted as anyone else on the planet. I was simply suggesting that you try rechanneling some the negative feelings you're having into all the benefits that will come from reaching your goal of a smoke free life. As far as hardships and discomfort go, you post every day how you're having a tough time. That's all I'm referring to. I actually wish you only success.

Your focus seems to be how miserable you feel. You should really be focusing on how much you want this. Hopefully you want it enough to get past any temporary hardship or discomfort.

@Linda Congratulations on one month smoke free. Remember this: The things in life that are difficult to achieve are much more valuable because they are difficult*. *Also remember that it won't always be so difficult.

Maybe there are bumps in the road to keep us from falling asleep at the wheel.

Great job Mac! Enjoy this great milestone.

Linda It’s easy to create justifications to smoke: · There’s a big snowstorm coming · The holidays are approaching · My relatives are coming for a visit · I’m always cranky The key is to stop looking for reasons to smoke and focus on the benefits that are just emerging, and will only get better with time. Don’t let the addict voice in your head tell you that a cigarette will make things better. It will only bring misery or worse.

You bad, uh-ha. Keep up the good work @Dogbelly

It takes a lot of dedication to show up here every day to start off the pledge. Thanks @Cbdave
