Awesome, MLMR! You're doing so well.

You're doing awesome, Supergirl ML! Great to see your positive posts. I can so relate to the smell of smoke on jackets and the little squeaking at night. Isn't it nice to be able to go biking and feel good about the workout the lungs get? Stay strong!

Congratulations, Dave!

Awesome, My Life. You're doing so great. You faced the challenges, shared your experience here and are a few successful weeks into your quit. Great to see your journey. Stay strong.

Nope!

My life, Awesome job for hanging in there. You're beating it. Also, it's great that you posted here rather than giving in. These moments will come as you hit the occasional triggers. We've smoked for years and it will keep trying to find a way back in. You're doing awesome. Stay strong and share your pics from Spain. P.S. Isn't it nice to be able to climb the steep streets without running out of breath?

Nope!

TobacNo, you're doing awesome. At day 3, you've gone through ALL your daily triggers and beaten them down 3 times already. Things like the morning coffee and smoke, get in car and smoke, lunch smoke, etc etc. You will still need to face them down a few times plus also face the occasional triggers like travel, bad news, etc. Just keep doing what you're doing. Come here often, pledge NOPE and promise to post an SOS if you feel a crave you need help with. SOS really works and has saved many a quit.

My life, You'll enjoy your trip as a non-smoker. Have fun and stay strong.

Wow, My life. That is so good to hear. It does get easier, doesn't it? I remember, I used to want to celebrate these milestones with a ... smoke. This habit is insidious and wants to strike just when we start to feel a little comfortable. Stay vigilant. How's the walking going? (Btw, good to see you paying it forward in another thread).

Nope!

My life, so glad you found your super special solution. Exercise helped me a lot also. So great to read your journey. You're doing really well. Stay strong.

Awesome, My life, Congratulations! You're doing so well and ... one day you'll be telling someone that these symptoms are all normal.

Nope!

My life, it will pass :). Physical activity seems to help, walking, running, cycling - whatever works for you. Stay strong.

Nope!

You're doing awesome, My life. Successes ... reminds me that I'd want to 'celebrate' one week quit, one month quit etc with ... a smoke. We have to constantly be on guard as this monster has a habit of trying to sneak in when we start to feel comfortable. I'm following your journey and cheering you on.

Great to hear you didn't give in. Do post back and let us know how you're doing. Stay strong.

My life (or Johnny laughs/ cries), it's so good to see you share your experiences. You're going through all the normal symptoms and I'm cheering that you'll get out the other side. I used to snack so much that I'd literally eat everything in the house and fridge and almost went around the street asking neighbors if they had some snacks I could 'borrow'. There used to be a funny post in QSMB that I liked to share - it was about all the experiences that we go through on quitting and was quite hilarious. Wonder if we managed to save that ( @Nancy or @jillar).

My life, yes that's pretty impressive :). Cheering for you, you're doing awesome.

Nope!

It's perfectly 'normal' to have these kinds of thoughts. Your body and brain are learning new ways of living. By now, I'm sure you're at the point where taking a deep breath actually feels enjoyable rather than something that makes you cough. I used to love that about quitting (and still do). You're doing really well. Keep posting here . Folks who tend to stay close to the board and share their experiences seem to have a greater chance of success. Stay strong.
