The second week can be one of the hardest. Some of the novelty has worn off but the cravings are still fresh. The early days can feel endless, but you'll get through them. Tell your puppy she's a good girl (just doing normal bad puppy things) and take her for a walk or just hang out with her outside for a while. My dog was often the only person I wanted to talk to on the bad days so she may end up being your savior (once she learns to pee outside.) You can do this, Brioski!

Later still, but huge congratulations to you, Darcy, on putting the first and toughest month behind you!!! There's no stopping you now!

Congratulations on both 2 and 3 years, Kate, and here's to number 4!

Thanks much @jillar and to all for the very nice shout-outs, and thank you, @DenaliBlues, for bringing my people along! And yes, @Molly2310, in eight years you'll be where I am and that's far away but in the meantime you will get to celebrate months 1 through 12, then years 1 through 7 of your fabulous quit, so you'd better keep the champagne on ice from now on. No one could convince me of this eight years ago but at some point (different timing for us all) not smoking starts to feel more natural than smoking and it's all pretty easy from there. The only regret I'll ever have is not having quit much earlier. Cheers to all us quitters, old and new!

Congrats to you on five years smoke-free and five years of helping others on their way to the same, Catlover!

Huge congratulations to you, DenaliB!!! You had a very tough year but did not make any excuses and didn't let anything keep you from succeeding. You should be very proud of yourself, and we are too!

Congrats, and happy six to you!

Here's to lucky number 7! I'm very late to the party but we're always a bit behind over here. Congratulations, and thanks for always bringing the tomorrow to today.

Happy 6th, H2N!!! Congratulations and yaaay for you!

Nine months is some serious quittage! Congratulations and great job, Denali.

Huge congratulations to you on eight great years and counting, as well as for sticking around to help and cheer others on!!!

Oh no, covid, don't you dare go near our Doreen again! There, I don't think it will hang around long now. Feel better soonest, Doreen, and do any and all mitigation your doctor advises!

Late to the party but sending huge congratulations to the Quit Queen!!!! Wow, nine years smoke-free and countless train riders kept onboard with the help of your wise and kind counsel, good cheer, and a few knocks of your frying pan. This train is so lucky to have you!!!

Great job and yay for you, Overcome! I remember counting every second of those first three days and the feeling of accomplishment when I hit the 72 hour mark.

Huge congratulations on the first year of forever!!!!

Congratulations on 5 months (and especially on forgetting all about it), Sunnyside!

The hardest 24 hours are now behind you! There's no turning back now. Congratulations, Shymaid!

Great job, Yoda!!! Your quit is growing up nicely.

So sorry I'm late to the big party!!!!! I am so proud of my best wabbit buddy for your fabulous 6-year-old quit and even more impressive dedication to helping other quitters (new and old) make their way to the finish line. You're the best! This board is so lucky to have you and Doreen keeping things on track, and always including a kind word and a smile in your posts.

Congratulations on eleven(!) months and great job making it happen, Kris! Every smoke-free day you put in the books makes your quit a little more solid, even when it doesn't always feel that way.
