Hi Christine what Jim and reciprocity said is absolutely true! Unfortunately if you let yourself think the worst is over at three days you may end up disappointed. The first month is by far the hardest but it is doable! Just stick close, post your feelings and especially an SOS if you feel close to caving to a crave. We call the first week hell week, by far the hardest week. The second is heck week, a little bit easier but then the third week, WTF week comes on and it's a pretty tough one. Once through it though you never have to deal with it again. How cool is that?!

Is it this one @notsmokinjo?

Congratulations on two months lml, I hope you celebrate this awesome achievement

I'm with fluffy, why on earth would I want another one?!

Is that the farthest they go?

So your husband's in the same boat as mine?

Maybe you should ask your husband that?

British people thinking they are meteorologists How much is too much?

IT'S A TRAP, don't fall for it!! Why don't men's balls bounce?

Maybe the lawnmower is free with the purchase of the hat?

@BAT number 3 sounds the most fun!

Oh yeah you're right. But I never knew WHY they showed Christmas movies in July. Meaning I didn't know Christmas in July was a thing...

I've never heard of it so maybe it is just an Aussie thing? And I think you'd get sick of Christmas music pretty fast if it was all year long.

You're doing awesome Kelly, I remember a member say that he was still using the gum a year and a half into his quit. Just goes to show that each quit is different so you do you!

Who has Christmas in July?

Did you get sidetracked looking for your pork chop?

Christine you CAN do it you just have to believe in yourself. The stress is still going to be there with or without a cigarette BUT you'll be richer and healthier without the cigs. Stop going through the worst few days and buckle down and do it! I promise you it WILL get better with each passing day/week/month. I used my JAC (jillars air cigarette) to help me past the first six months of my quit. I simply pretended I was holding a cigarette in my fingers and then went through the motions of "smoking" it. Taking deep inhales too, smoothest cig you'll ever have. It really tricked my mind into thinking it was having the real thing. Some have used cut straws, pens, etc. Maybe try that?

@farmgirl a lot of us feel/felt worse after quitting. My breathing got so bad I wondered why I even quit! Our bodies are wotking hard to right the wrongs we did by smoking and in these early months all our resources are spent on just that. Cleaning up the gunk. That being said, it's never a bad idea to have a check up if you haven't in a while

And for dessert your favorite:

Congratulations zenith, you're doing great!

Congratulations my goofy, witty, adorable friend. You bring such a great energy to the boards with your combination of intelligence and humor. Then throw in the awesome advice you offer and the celebrations you post and we just don't know what we'd do without you here! So kickback and celebrate today. Maybe with pizza?

@notsmokinjo yes I can add them together, multiply by 2 and have an even number lol

For the same reason you don't see brown fireworks Are you picking up what I'm putting down?
