Yes jo, as I've told you many times, others will post a celebration if you miss one. I didn't have any of the members from 2015 and earlier when I did celebrations but it didn't matter because someone else did and would post it.

Insomnia is a normal part of quitting Christine and if your psychiatrist isn't concerned about it than it's probably just how your body deals. I used an OTC sleep aid, one pill a couple times a week in the beginning just to help my body relax and get some sleep. You may want to ask your dr about doing the same.

Oh Jim I'm so sorry, our pets are our kids so I know the pain of losing them ?

Good episode huh?!

Well according to your ticker you have saved $268.78 so far! Maybe just a kickback relax day? That's a reward, or pay your neighbor kid ten bucks to mow your lawn this week to give you the week off from doing it?

Hi Gm, welcome aboard! And congratulations on deciding to take back your life You will find amazing support here so reach out whenever you need us, post often, read everything you can and we even have a great socializing section to help keep your mind off the craves

lol, no he doesn't as you will see!

Joe doesn't like Peach at all as you'll see when you watch the next episode

Congratulations my fellow butt kicker on two years quit! Hope you're doing well and loving life

Congratulations on five years quit MQ and thank you for giving us this train

What about an encore performance for those who missed your first show?

Will you be performing again soon weegie?

Yay kdad, congratulations on being done with the hardest month of them all! I hope you celebrate today and do something special for yourself

Welcome ky, congratulations on almost a month quit. You're almost done with the hardest month of all We smoked for a long time, myself 35 years, so it's normal that there are a lot of emotional ties to smoking that need to be cut. The good news is that as each time is cut we get stronger emotionally. So with each week that goes by it will get better, I promise

That's a bummer Christine but when you're truly ready to quit you'll do anything you can to protect each and every day you have smoke free. I stayed close to home the first month or two and only ventured out if my never smoked husband went with me because I didn't trust myself not to cave to a crave. I also was glued 24/7 to my forum, posted a couple SOS's even though my vanity didn't let me actually put SOS in the title. I made sure though to word it so members knew I needed some support and they were there for me. So when you're truly ready to quit, we'll be there for you too. So my final answer to what is the hardest part of quitting? It's deciding that you're ready.

That's awesome parsley and another benefit of quitting I didn't notice a big change in my skin but a lot of people get quit zits when first quitting. But I guess those could be from the extra sugar we crave when we quit too.

I think reci's working on finding a better one

No worries @Linda Thomas, Jane's moment of guilt will pass and we'll be back to the fun lol This was photographed in the U.K., hmmmm probably over @Doreensfree 's house lol

@c9jane29, don't feel like a hijacker because if you feel like one then we'll feel like one and

It wasn't you @c9jane29, jo and I took it off course originally because the boys didn't want to share their Babe thread with our kinda babes, like the one you just posted. So we thought it would be funny to do different types of sticks. But THEN, you naughty girls took "sticks" to the extreme so think of this thread as constantly evolving lol

@Sazerac, in Florida it's standard procedure I guess. My mom has patches every time she goes to the hospital and my dad had patches applied in the hospital even though he had hours left to live. Maybe it's too keep them comfortable?

It gets even better whispers!

@reciprocity, my mom got very sick in March and was in ICU not expected to make it. We were very lucky in that she pulled through but the first thing she wanted when she came out of her coma was a cigarette ? The fact that she almost died had no effect on her to quit smoking ? And in Florida if you tell them, like my sister did, that she's a smoker they put patches on her, even though she was in a coma!!!

Wait, didn't we just celebrate your one month smoke free @christine 12?

Reci, you know as well as anyone that you can't tell a smoker to quit. If you could I would have quit in my twenties when everyone was telling me to. ?
