Hi Sierra, you've been given great advice. Pledging NOPE everyday, just for that day is what helped me as well as taking the one year pledge. It's promising to check in daily, if nothing more than to NOPE, for a complete year. This helps us get past all the seasons that can trigger a crave. Also posting SOS BEFORE you smoke so that you give us a chance to get you past that crave. We have a lot of members here, in a lot of different phases of quitting who can offer you some great clues to keep you smoke free

Today's hack is a rubber glove or even the bottom of your tennis shoe can be used to bring dust out between places your vacuum can't reach

So irritating that people can't clean up after themselves, grrrrr!!!

Ask and you shall receive

Great job @TobacNO

Gosh do I!!! I also remember burning holes in my favorite cloths. Never when I was wearing work cloths though lol.

lots of parties lining up I see......

Congratulations on 8 months Kermit!

Almost a month already, that's awesome! If the tickets are too frustrating to mess with you could just go to your profile page and click edit profile and you'll see where you can put in your quit date. After all you did quit last month, not today so own that and be proud of yourself for it

Well you have a great support system here with us Mw so just give a shout out if you need us and we'll be there with an ear to lend and advice if needed/wanted

Isn't it fantastic the benefits we realise once we quit?! How far along are you now Parsley? Your quit date still says today lol

Welcome MwBenson and congratulations on 30 days smoke free. That's awesome We have lots of members who have successfully quit with the help of NRT's so no shame in that game, it's all about whatever works for you

You're doing great Linda, glad you're taking advantage of all the different areas of the forum. It really helps keep your mind off the misery doesn't it

@c9jane29, don't worry, yours is wayyy better looking than those kid's cakes were lol ?

That's awesome Jane, I just watched the finale of Kids Baking Championship last night and their final challenge was a rainbow cake

I see yours @Doreensfree And mine lol

My life, I didn't talk to hardly anyone about my quit offline either. In fact I didn't tell anyone except for my husband and a couple close friends that I had quit until about week 6. After about six months my husband said shouldn't you be over it by now! Him being a never smoker he has no idea that most of us will never "be over it" and that one slip can send us back to a pack a day. That's why the support of fellow quitters on the forum is/was so important to me. We know what you're going through and are here to lend an ear and any support we can offer

Why do people say IRL like being online isn't real life?

I was three years old when that came out so it's hard for me to blame big tobacco for my getting hooked on cigarettes. I have no one to blame but myself. Great find jo, thanks

Good morning Nik, the insomnia and constant thoughts of cigarettes are both totally normal right now. For me the sleeping got back to normal sooner than the thoughts but we're all different. Keeping your mind busy with other things helps for the thoughts. It won't be long before you wake up in the best mood you've been in in years and a cigarette won't be the first thing you think of

Our airships only last a weekend. They fly in Thursday and Friday and the show is Saturday and Sunday.

Welcome kdad and congrats on deciding to quit. You'll find a ton of support here so make yourself comfy and lean on us as much as you need

For some reason Jim, I really can't see you doing the self loathing thing lol
