Hi givein, sorry you're having some craves from your move but I'm glad you came here to vent. You got this! Hope you enjoy your new place

Only the bad ones Is it possible to feel like a sandwich? PS. I'm a southpaw!

It's hard to love someone i dont know Are there any undiscovered islands left in the world?

Yea, I did too @Phoebe2 ?

My first Koi, Spa, who I've had for about 20 years is dying ?

Happiness is still liking fixtures I picked for our house twenty years ago

My motivation was my new Dr telling me if I didn't quit smoking I'd be dead in ten to twelve years and on oxygen ? My junkie mind even did the math thinking in 10 years I'd be 62 around the age my dad died so it must be my legacy. He was so thrilled to hear I quit and how clear my lungs sound I actually really like him now. So even if I am dead in ten to twelve years at least, hopefully, I won't need oxygen.

Dumb people

How exciting frezflops, I'll wish you luck

It's totally normal jetblack. I always craved a cig more when good things happened then bad. Just be proud of yourself for not smoking. And congrats on getting those people out of your life...

Awesome Linda, that's a nice pic Maybe @BKP can talk you through the ticker now

Hi Jackie, when we quit our bodies start right away trying to repair all the damage we did to it by smoking. So it makes sense that we are tired when we first quit. Our bodies need our energy. Be kind to yourself. Let your body dictate what it needs to help it heal. If it's hungry, eat. Tired, sleep. I don't know how many days I said the heck with it and just went to bed hoping tomorrow would be just a little better. You're doing great

Hey Linda, hopefully by now you're feeling a little better and these fine folks were able to help you realize what you are going through is completely normal. Don't worry about biting anyone's head off, unless you do it literally, then you might have to worry lol. But seriously some of us in our early quits got angry some of us cried over spilt milk. It's totally normal. One thing that really helped me in my first months was my JAC, jillars air cigarette, I just pretended I was holding an actual cigarette in my fingers and then went through the motions of "smoking" it. I might have looked stupid doing it but it really worked in tricking my mind into thinking it was getting its fix. Some members have used cut straws, pens, etc. Maybe you can give that a try? About your profile pic and ticker, I think a moderator can help you with that. You're doing great Linda, be super proud of yourself!

Oh man do I remember those early days nikki! You are doing great and just think once you get past them you'll never have to go through it again. That in and of itself is a HUGE reward. The insomnia is super normal and won't last forever. Soon you'll be sleeping better than you have in years I actually found taking an otc sleep aid a couple times helped me get some sleep. Love me some bacon and eggs so enjoy yours and I'm so glad that posting got you through your crave

Congratulations on 7 months gabes!

Yea @Phoebe2, that must be hard to watch. I don't remember if you said she quit before her diagnosis or because of her diagnosis. I think that makes a big difference in her being able to stay quit if she quit because and not before. I also remember you telling us how she badly she coughed. I imagine that will be coming back soon enough too ?

5 months already?! That's awesome CAquitter, congratulations

Hi addictedbassman, I remember you from qsmb. Sorry you're struggling today and so glad you found us. You will love this place just as I have come to. They welcomed us with open arms when qsmb went down and I for one couldn't be happier to be here. I hope you find the same to be true

Double post

Or what we call a #2 pencil lol
