Oh yeah even months later, we tend to have thoughts or craves for a smoke but at this point our resistance to it is plenty strong. And just think, you are FOUR months past the three-month-mark battle. Well, see you at the 8-month celebration

Ain't it nice that at this point, the nicodemon doesn't even bother with tantrums anymore? It might shyly ask for a smoke but it already knows it will just get told to f*** off again? It is important to KTQ for two reasons - 1) no need to ruin one's health and waste money 2) Since Jo is now in charge of the celebrations dept, we cannot take smoking back up and give her an excuse to slack off posting milestones.

I forgot it had been so long. Where the heck did eight months go? I remember feeling proud when the 72 hour mark had passed. I do not really look forward to the one year mark and here is why - At that point summer will be over officially AND unofficially. I have no plans to smoke though. Anyways I thank you all

That snickers commercial - Next time you think you messed up at work. But get this - It is a FACT that if this happened in real life, the patient's attorney would be standing there with a full-blown hard-on and saying, "Oh the field day we will have with this one!"

I am not going to pretend to be a med expert but did want to mention this - Sometimes the reason it is hard to get certain meds is because some people just go out and sell the pills. It makes it hard for those who do not abuse or sell their meds and really need it.

My stupid dog is on a hunger strike lately so no one can blame him for whatever life sacrifices are made in the name of "circle of life". You know that talking dog on youtube where the guy is telling him about what he and the cat ate? My dog, after an honest haircut, kind of resembles that one. I bet THAT dog doesn't sit there and pretend his food doesn't exist.

that snake had a hell of a day. First, some human took away his lunch, THEN some canine tried to kill him.

Oh holy crap. Can you imagine it on the news?

Colleen, there is a mature way of handling that situation. You don't go calling them inconsiderate (whatevers). Anyone with ANY grown-up manners knows you simply walk in and say, "Bejesus Chrimeney, this lunch room smells like a trash can full of used tampons!" That is the polite way of letting someone know their lunch is stanking up the place.

Like a couple others said - I cannot add much more so I am not going to respond to this one.

They definitely win the contest for "grossest pests". Snakes though - at least they look pretty cool. Much like other life forms that are ok to look at but not mess with, like maybe bears. Wasps and hornets are hated more because they can actually cause immediate pain.

At least snakes mostly keep to themselves. Unlike the stupid "bully" breeds of dogs that Americans think are cool to own. Compensation I suppose. I tell people this though - us humans are the most dangerous and vicious animal there is. Try not to forget that when it comes to dealing with other forms of life. Jo hates arachnids. Common fear. But unless it is something dangerous, they are just ugly. MY most hated creature are wasps/hornets. At least spiders do not fly around.

I got silent for a moment but could not contain my laughter when I imagined You with the trash can smashing the hell out of the thing while saying things like, "You gosh darn friggin little bugger!" Or maybe the "R" rated version of that. There are some dogs next door...

I was looking through some recent yet past posts... There was one lady who was quit for almost a month but relapsed and has not been heard from since. Seems though it happens way too often. they come in, are hyped about the quit, everyone encourages them to stay quit, but then between week three and four - relapse. I just think - why? I imagine most quitters have had many failed quits, but doesn't that usually happen the first day instead of after 20+ days? You know like wake up the day of the Quit, go without a cigarette all morning but by lunch time - relapse. I personally feel like those don't even merit being called a "Quit". All but one of my "Quits" in the past lasted four hours. When I hit the three month mark, that is when my hardest battle came. I was rummaging some old magazines and of course every other page was for cigarettes. Triggered craves like i didn't even have during the first three days. What kept me from lighting up (besides not having smokes and not wanting to drive to the store) was thinking, "I made it this far so I know I can live without lighting up" Like all of you, I wish I could somehow help the ones who cave in but aside typing words on a screen, we can do nothing. I also sometimes wonder if being on a board that focuses mainly on smoking-related stuff makes them want to smoke again? I must admit that the only time a crave hits for me is if I am on here more than a little while. thoughts?

First time I seen or heard of one of these, they called it the "PTA" for parent-teacher association. I was in third grade, my own teacher and the mom of some little fake bitch were on it. They were weird honestly. Mom looked like Tammy Faye Baker and had one of those fake "happy go lucky" attitudes. Always smiling, laughing... you could just tell it was fake. Our teacher pl;ayed favorites of course. Mostly some two little brats. She would say things in a rude tone sometimes like, "I am very disappointed with how the class did on this last test..." and then change to a happy squeaky voice and say, "But of course Kimmy and Heather both got A's" and they would then go and kiss each other's asses. My mom was not into the PTA. She just had no time nor interest. She was also down to earth. Seemed like it was ALWAYS the fake or stuck-up bitches who were into it. And yes, their kids were just as bad. Way to go on teaching kids as young at 8 how to be ass kissers. What is really fun is when it finally gets to the option you seek... "If you want to do this, type in your account number followed by the pound sign" so you are like FINALLY! But then as you are trying to concentrate, the damn voice will not shut up.

My nephew has quit several times. he quit high school, then quit the army, has quit several jobs, quit culinary school... Wait, that isn;t what this is about?

Some people just have a habit of placing the ad for another video in a way that ruins the video one is trying to watch. Anyways, thanks.

Hey at the end how there is that smaller window for another video, how does one get rid of that? EDIT - Not that it has anything to do with this thread but advertisements are pretty much ruining everything on the web.

While I was looking thru this thread last night I was also watching something on youtube and someone said, "that is not even remotely funny!" So I just had to use it. If so, that way you could be smoking AND still keep the quit. Win-win. Of course all the perverts on here would want photos. Mrtitwank particularly. EDIT - that photo of the pig who is probably not attending Sunday school in that photo... You know someone, somewhere has probably masturbated to that.

"dies" to the lungs? Freudian slip yes? And for the OP photo - shouldn't the rest of the parts of the smoker's remote be tinted brownish? But in any case, it is at least "remotely" accurate. NYUK NYUK NYUK. har?

About Reci's gif - If someone asked, "So, did the dancer go down?" he could most honestly answer "yes".

Did OJ Simpson murder someone again?

No kidding. I mean if someone makes a recovery like that, they owe it to EVERYone to stay off the cigarettes. I mean jeeze, talk about getting a second chance. For biting your head off, keep in mind that addicts do not like it when someone points out their addiction. The reason - they are not addicted. Just ask them. WHEN she croaks or at the very least cannot work because she is chained to oxygen tanks, it will be her own fault. She had freedom, she threw it away. I mean after six months no smoking, surely the crave isn;t bad enough to draw one back in. Yeah we still get craves but they are easier to beat after so many months. Us quitters should not smoke again. Let some other idiots kill themselves with that garbage. You know Phoebe, when she does complain about feeling tired again, just say, "I wonder why? Smoking certainly would not cause anything like that". Or just non-chalantly say, "Cancer is back".

Do not let someone else's bad behavior cause you to screw up.

907 days is nothing to make a big deal of. 912 days though, now THAT paints a whole different picture! You are kicking ass! Now about that abstinence party, what can anyone say?
