Welcome getback, sorry about health problems and cancer but glad they've been able to get it under control. Most of us struggled in our early days but we all knew from others who had been there before us that it was possible and very doable. Look at all the quitters here, some relapsed a few times before getting their forever quit but they did get there! We're not special, we all have our own reasons for quitting, mine was health related too, and all of us are here to support you in getting yours You have nothing to gain by continuing to smoke and are pretty much playing Russian Roulette with your life. But we can help you succeed if you let us.

No, I don't struggle at all. And I never want one anymore. I do still rarely have a trigger come up that makes a smoking thought pop up but its easily swatted away. I quit for health reasons too and even wrote a "poor me everyone else can smoke and I can't" thread on another forum around my six month quit mark. And the good people of the forum talked me down and made me realize they didn't GET to smoke, they HAD to smoke! I had my freedom back and from then on it was easier

@Barb63 you can have one you're just choosing not to! You have the power not the cigarette. I quit because I had to too and had a hard first year but it was only because I kept thinking I was missing out instead of embracing all the awesome things I was already noticing from quitting. Hang in there, things will get better I promise

@Opah, every time you disappear you come back newly quit. I'm really concerned that that could happen again this time. You know we recommend sticking around for your whole first year and we do that because we want to help you get through most the triggers that can happen in a year. So please reconsider leaving and instead just use the zoom on your browser to help you see better. We want you to succeed!

I don't know. So far no...........

Hi Barb, welcome to quit train! Congratulations on 22 days quit, you've got the hardest part behind you believe it or not You'll find as much support as you need/want here from people all over the world so there's almost always someone here 24/7! We also have a great Social forum for those times when you just want to give your mind a break from the constant thoughts of cigarettes so be sure to check it out. It's a great distraction and helped me immensely I smoked 35 years and quit when my breathing got bad from what I was told was chronic asthma. Then I got a bad respiratory illness that resulted in respiratory failure last January and have been on oxygen ever since. So if you are already diagnosed with COPD it is something to take seriously so you don't end up like me...... Stick close and be sure to shout out if you need some extra support

Happy Birthday @bakon!
