Congratulations on 7 months Albert!

That's great news Cader!

Happy Halloween I'm going to be shot by Trekkies! lol

Congratulations my friend and fellow butt kicker on another year smoke free! I've loved sharing these past couple of years journey with you. Celebrate big and again congratulations So since its Halloween and all....

You're using dry ice. When cheese gets its picture taken what does it say?

It's never too late Lilly Home prices here are so expensive that we were very lucky to buy ours in 1998. I don't know how this next generation is going to be able to afford to buy one ?

Yes @Lilly it sure is!

@Lilly, my feet and hands were always cold before I quit. But now they're nice and warm thanks to my circulation being uninterrupted

Oh but this is a special train Lilly.....

Oh @c9jane29, I'll be thinking positive thoughts for you and your daughter that she won't need another surgery. Xoxo

Confession: I should have waited until Halloween to buy the candy. I've been on a feeding frenzy with it since yesterday

Yes lurkers, as you peruse the various posts take a look at our members tickers. The amount of money saved and cigarettes not smoked will astonish you. It still does me!

Beautiful pic Linda, I'm really glad you're feeling better xoxo

The lake sounds like a wonderful retreat for some quality alone time. I'm happy you chose the whoppers

Linda, you don't want to smoke, that's why you posted here I think a lot of us had pretty bad cravings around our three month mark and I for one reached out like you did. Remember that you are in control of your life and it really is ok to tell your folks that you're busy. Perhaps then they will ask instead of tell you when they need your help. I'm glad your friend is still with you, aren't you glad that when you hug her you don't smell like stale smoke

Good for you Lilly Congratulations on being ready to put smoking behind you, and you know I'm looking forward to seeing those awesome charms you'll be getting each month

Hi rhino, I hope your today is much better than your yesterday

Watching The Purge-Election Year movie and eating Halloween candy

Thank you Markus and congratulations on a decade quit!

Adorable bunny fluffy, but should we be concerned about the hand laying in the background? ?

Scare the shit out of him @WeegieWoman that works every time AND it's fun! ?

You iron?! AND tidy up?! Will you marry me?

Such an inspirational post for everyone. Your strength and determination with so much sadness in your first year is amazing and I'm not sure I could have kept my quit with so much tragedy as you had/have to deal with. Thank you for sharing jo xoxo

Another thing I used in my first months was my JAC (Jillars air cigarette). I just pretended I was holding a cigarette and then went through the motions of "smoking" it. I took deep drags too, which is really just deep breathing, but it was enough to trick my mind into thinking it was getting the real thing. Some people use pens or pencils or even cut straws. I liked my invisible one though because I like to look stupid puffing on an invisible cigarette lol.

Then yes, those should work perfectly. Will you post a pic when done?
