Time to get back on the train.

We are here to support you and hold your hand through the hard parts so that you too can be successful like the rest of us. You deserve it and so does your son!

Yay Gene, you're doing AWESOME!

Breaking unless they allow all forms of dance to compete in their categories. The sport I'd like to see is

Congratulations again @JustSomeGuy on your AWESOME  quit!

I was lucky, I coughed so much while smoking that the cough was the first thing to stop when I quit. I'm sure it's cleaning your lungs up Gene but if you're concerned then it's never a bad idea to get yourself a checkup. If anything, it'll relieve your mind, and you'll get lots of kudos for quitting smoking  

Keep drinking lots of fluids too!  

Congratulations my fellow Butt Kicker @Lust4Life2016 on eight years quit! That's fantastic and what's also just as great is you sticking around paying it forward and supporting everyone, so thank you for that

Hi @DebbieS, I've moved your thread to the appropriate forum, our Introductions and About us forum since this isn't an SOS for help from a bad crave. The SOS board is for when you're at risk of losing your precious quit and you need extra support to get through it. Post there and we'll come running!  

Congratulations on your 1st month quit @Genecanuck and thank you for all your contributions to the board. Have a great day!  

Hi @DebbieS, congratulations on deciding to quit vaping!  Tackle it just like you did when you quit smoking. Get yourself some sweets to suck on, stay hydrated and we'll give you all the support you could need or want. 

We have a great vaping forum that will educate you on just how bad vaping is and the long-range dangers are still to be determined.............

Welcome aboard @Asphodelian and congratulations on choosing to take your life back! We can give you all the support you need as well as a ton of information about our addiction so be sure to check out all the various forums.

We even have Social forums to help take your mind off smoking while still being close to your support. 

And by all means if you feel yourself caving to a crave come on and post in our SOS forum that you need extra support BEFORE you smoke so we can help you past it ☺ 

PS. I've moved your thread to our Introduction forum ☺ 

Boo @tocevoD, what a bummer you smoked, you were doing so well. Maybe you should try letting us help you through a bad crave? Its worked for many of us including myself so its worth a try.......

Congratulations @garry mhudson on eight years quit my fellow Butt Kicker! And thank you for sticking around to support those coming behind you  

Welcome aboard @I can do it and congratulations on deciding to take your life back. You can do it and we're all proof of it so lets get you past day three. First off its going to take a commitment from you to yourself that you won't cave to a crave. What I did when a had a bad crave was to go or do something that I never smoked at. Get some candies to suck on instead. I was hooked on soft peppermint puffs my whole first year quit. Can't smoke and eat at the same time right? I also used my JAC aka jillars air cigarette. I simply pretended I was holding an actual cigarette in my fingers and went through the motions of "smoking" it. It tricked my mind into thinking it was getting the real thing every time. Some people use cut straws, pens even licorice. I preferred my invisible one so I wouldn't have to remember where I put it lol.

Its going to take some self discipline but you can do it!

No I'm sorry I don't. If you feel you can reach more people by posting the link then by all means do that it just can't be here. But our members have now been made aware of it by you so could search it out if they really wanted to. I would also ask them to report the channel in hopes of having it removed. 

Welcome @DFINALJ, congratulations on over a year quit. Thank you for letting us know this kind of garbage exists. I have removed the link though as there's no need for someone who's quitting to view it and possibly get triggered. If you get a chance maybe you could head over to the Introduction forum and introduce  yourself  to everyone ☺ 

Hi @Linda, glad to see you and I'm happy you're keeping your awesome quit! Well done! ☺
