Oh Kate. Hang in there. I also made all those excuses, but when I turned 60, I knew it was inevitable that I would get a smoking related illness. I really think you have been mentally preparing yourself for this quit. Keep educating yourself and stay close. We are here to help you through. Keep looking past those craves to the power and freedom you will receive when quit.

Have to add @c9jane29 glitter. I was covered in glitter in my early quit. Miss her very much.

Gee Boo, that is a really big pouch to fill. I thought you were a tighty whities type of guy.

True. Thank goodness for caller ID TNP has a land line

False. A little color on the cheeks and eye shadow TNP paints their toe nails

Nope

So glad your back Kate. Yes, never give up quitting. I was like you and never thought I could quit. I became a closet smoker and gave up on life. Finding this forum gave me the power to quit. Stay close and we will help you through.

I think I will say #3 because I think if you get enough beers in you, you could be riding that buck naked 🤣

Gee jillar, I can see you doing all three. This is a tough one.

Gee Joe, a Pirate thinking of unicorns seems like a nightmare to me. Your still in the tough part of quitting. I promise it will get better just around the corner. You are doing great and I love your humor.

Well how about the big hairy quit balls @notsmokinjo says I grew during my quit. This picture does not do them justice🤣

I am going to say #2. I don't think you would survive 140 mph on two wheels without having an accident.

Boy that describes them perfectly. My dad is 90 and he yells and screams at them. Fortunately I have caller ID and I don't even give them my time of day. I do however have to keep running to the phone to look to make sure it is not my elderly parents. Intrusive yes and I keep thinking it will get worse as we head into the election year.

Just so you know Joe, she doesn't not use her frying pan for making eggs. There were a couple of times she was going to come after me with it, when I 😂thought about caving to my craves

WTF.........................My husband just turn 65 and I will also in a few months. Our phone just rings off the hook with companies looking to sign us on for supplemental insurance. Every fifteen minutes it is ringing. It is driving me nuts. I can't turn the phone off because of my elderly parents. We really need some law regarding the robo calls.

Welcome Peepers. I never had an ah ha moment either. I smoked for 42 years and tried everything to quit. I was not successful until I found this forum. I lurked for a while and even joined thinking I would never quit but something miraculous happened. Supporters on this forum knew exactly how to guide me through my journey. There are some tough moments in the beginning, as you rid yourself of the nicotine, then you learn to redirect your thinking. I set my sights on looking forward and not backwards. Quitting smoking is the best thing you can do for yourself. I hope we can help you find your freedom from smoking.

Diane, I think that only comes before birth 😁. I did not have a burst of energy but did feel more powerful each day.

Nope

Rum Balls Joe🤣😂🤣. I am enjoying this thread too I really would like to know what Boo is infected with..........

Welcome Edy. I truly hope you decide to stay and start that quit. You can feel your desperation in your post. I smoked for 42 years and never felt that I could quit. I was ashamed and afraid that I could not quit. I finally found freedom on this forum. You can too. Just make the commitment. We are here for you.

You do know we will all be waiting for cute baby pictures.

Thanks jillar. I did not know you were a computer geek. I will try this. I want to print it out and go through it (too tired tonight). I will let you know if it does not work so you get can working on another option.

jilllar this is a screenshot of what comes up when I click on the cloud.There is no garbage can. This is so frustrating.

I have done that and my documents appear but when I click on the folder I want, it tells me it is empty.😭
