Hi @Jean Miller, that's awesome! You're already past Hell week!   If you get a chance, why don't you introduce yourself in our Introduction Forum. I'm glad you're reading up on our pinned threads. Those are great to start with and will help you immensely  

Congratulations on four years free @Angeleek, that's AWESOME! And thank you for sticking around and supporting those that come behind you. Have a great day and spoil yourself a little

Congratulations @BAT on your tenth anniversary! What a HUGE accomplishment   Thank you for sticking around all these years, it means a lot to everyone! Let the celebration begin:

8. Had your mouth washed out with soap for cussing in front of mom 

Ok 8 things most people kept from a friend

4. Shred it

8. Remove shoe marks from tile or linoleum floors

I think you're doing great @QuittingGirl, you're keeping your quit and you will be so happy you did when this all boils over... hugs to you, you got this!

^^THIS^^  

@darcy, as long as you have cigarettes around you'll keep relapsing. When I quit at 5:30 on May 29 I proceeded to smoke all the butts in my ashtrays so my quit didn't start until 10:15 that night. I couldn't be around cigarettes or have access to them so I stayed home unless someone else went with me to keep me honest. I did that for a whole month and it was so worth it.

Get rid of the cigarettes! Post an SOS so we can help you past the crave! You have to believe you can quit like everyone else here did or is doing.

You got this darcy!

@Gus, i agree! I was pleasantly surprised that the cough was the first thing that stopped when I quit.

I been cheating on pepperoni and pineapple pizza with stuffed cheesy bread. Sorry not sorry......

And thank you Doreen, we really do make a great team

For quite a few of us tonight will involve some sort of alcohol and socializing to welcome in 2024. You may see others smoking and you're not to sober brain may think its ok to have just one............IT'S NOT!

If you read relapse posts here you'll find that every single one of them are full of regret for letting their quit go. Don't be one of those posts! The train is always running and almost always has someone here to help you past a crave so PLEASE get on here BEFORE you take that first drag and give up all that hard work you've done to get to where you were before you threw it all away. We have saved many a quit and if you truly want to save yours we can help you do it. Sometimes all it takes is writing the words to wake up your brain and get it thinking straight again  

Have a Happy and Safe New Year!

I'm glad you're feeling better bri  

Did you know that your quit starts as soon as you put out your last cigarette? So if you quit smoking today you can go into the new year telling people you quit last year! 

Boo @Brioski, hopefully if it is covid it'll be mild. Luckily they have medication to treat it now. I hope you all feel better soon, healing thoughts going your way.....

Welcome aboard the train to freedom from smoking @lanche and congratulations on a being past hell week already. That's what we call the first week quit  

I'm sorry about your mom, my dad and my uncle (his brother) both died within two years of each other from smoking related cancers and I continued to smoke . Your mom must be so proud of you for quitting. 

I agree with the most others, there's nothing wrong with sitting on the couch all day if that's what it takes to stay quit. Your energy will come back in time so just keep doing what's working for you
