A moment of victory can quickly turn to defeat.

I was a 4 decade smoker. Thought I was beyond hope. I was wrong. You simply need to realize there are no longer any excuses that validate lighting another cigarette. Just remember: If it's important to you, you will find a way. If not, you'll find an excuse. You can do it Tyme!

Just thought I'd point out that you can add a background photo on your profile in addition to your avatar. Just click on "Cover Photo" and upload a pic from your files. P.S. Don't let bakon convince you this should be a nude.

nope

Getting close!!! Congrats on 11 months Dee!

Congrats to the Astros.

Welcome Tyme2B Many (maybe even most) of the people here smoked for decades. So, to think you "can't" is simply untrue. Granted, it can be very tough in the beginning. I kept a count on an app every time I had an urge.....the first several weeks I had 50-100 per day! In the past this would have caused me such anxiety that I would have dumped my quit. This time around I approached each urge as a mini-battle whose ass I was determined to kick. When I won each battle for an entire day, that would be a victory. Finally, when I surpassed my previous longest quit of 3 weeks I knew there was no giving in. Now I can look back and see I was using the NOPE strategy. I strongly recommend you look into the Daily Nope section of this website. Anxiety is a tricky thing and it's not easy to overcome. But it can be done. I found walking (even a few times around a room if I couldn't get out) to be helpful. At some point you will find that quitting will diminish your overall anxiety and enhance your health in so many more ways. You can do this Tyme....let us know if you need help or just want someone to lean on.

Where is that cutie pie? Happy Birthday DD!

That will be enough of that missy!
