16 hi @Doreensfree lets get em!

Welcome aboard @Dianne and congratulations on taking back your life. I'm sorry you're not feeling well but you'll be happy to know that you'll recover much quicker when you quit smoking so I hope you start feeling better soon. Quitting can cause some anxiety in the beginning and some of us have asked our Dr for temporary meds to help. Since you don't have a Dr you can try drinking juices and lots of water to help get the nicotine out of your system faster. Water also helps break up the phlegm We have a great group of quitters here who can support you through the quit process as well as a ton of great and educational posts and videos about our addiction. You can do it, we're all proof

Stayed up late

Well done @Kate18, I think we smoked for so long that there may always be the occasional crave pop up. Luckily though we've learned enough about our addiction to know we never want to go back to day one again! Hope you feel better soon

Congratulations @Barb63 on now being past the hardest month of them all. You're doing great and I hope your journey gets easier each day for you

Congratulations on being one month free today @Gus, you're doing great!

I can so relate to this one....

You did @Linda, I was just hoping you could put it on this thread too because I just loved it so much

Great idea for a thread @Linda, can you add your stay on the train post to it?

Yay @Gus, good for you at realizing you don't need no stinking cigarette! Well done

Good to see you @stzr500, thank you for sharing your experience. I'm sure it'll help a lot of new quitters, and congratulations on your great quit

Didn't ask you

Find the time

@Linda, I LOVE this!

@Robbie, your shortness of breath should improve as your lungs start getting cleaned of all the gunk caused by smoking. You're doing great

Shout at me

Because we quit putting poison in our lungs!

@Barb63, That's awesome! My cough went away pretty much a day after I quit but man I sure had a gross gurgly cough when I smoked, yuck! So glad those days are gone!!!! I'm super happy for you

So why not just quit already @GetBack26844462? You're here, we're all here, lets do this!

That's great news @catlover, I'm happy for you both!

There's never a time to "need" a cigarette and I promise you that the longer you stay quit the easier it is to stay quit. The battle won't begin anew. It will just be a thought that pops in your head that will be easily dismissed. It just takes time....
