Wow Jill, so sorry to read that you have been through the wringer. Hope you are back to good health soon. Get lots of rest and take care of yourself.

Everyone loves love

It may not be much but I am very happy to be completing week 1 today! It's the first time I've gotten past 2 1/2 days since my relapse of August 2018. Forward Ho!!

This is all going over my head

Good for you Abby! One year is something to be very proud of. Hope you celebrated IRL!!

Deliver roses on Valentine's evening Rocks

In mid December, I set a deadline of end-of-year for myself. I quit on Christmas Eve and was doing pretty good for four days. Then junky me said you can smoke for a few more days. So then I quit on December 30. Ended up having a day from hell which began with a flat tire where the air completely came out in under 1 minute. I was stuck on a busy road for 1 1/2 hours until roadside assistance arrived. Very scary... Roadside assistance put air in my donut and swapped it out with the unfixable tire. The day continued to go downhill. I just couldn't quit on such a negative day so that's how I ended up quitting on New Year's Eve, a much better day thank goodness. I am not treating my quit as a New Years resolution because I rarely keep my resolutions. For me, it's a line in the sand. I originally quit smoking in 2016 and then relapsed in 2018 with over 2 years quit. My only smoke-free calendar year was 2017. I decided that 2020 would be my second smoke free year.

Will you give me a head start?

Congratulations Martian5!!!

Everything comes with a price

Be strong Sunshine. You've come too far to give up now. Before you know it, you won't even thing about smoking anymore. Take it from someone who was quit for over two years and loving it and then wrecklessly threw it away. I have had a very difficult time quitting again and you might too!

Hmmm...interesting that you posted this in the SOS section AFTER you smoked. You're supposed to do that BEFORE you smoke! Anyway, hope you quit again soon. The longer you wait, the harder it gets to quit again. Good wishes to you!

NOPE

I smoked for a lot of years but do not remember any cigarette being amazing. I do have a lot of amazing memories from my smoking years but the "amazingness" has nothing to do with smoking. If anything, they would have been more amazing if I didn't have to sneak away to get my fix.

Have you ever tried to get rid of nicotine completely? Sounds like you are trying to control your nicotine addiction rather than freeing yourself from it. Go for freedom...it's much better!
