Got some really GREAT news and I really wanted to celebrate by smoking 😞 I am having a hard time trying not to reach for a cigarette right now. (I do not have any around me) But I could easily go to the store . . . but I am trying really hard to ride thru this!

NOPE!

I snuck in and got one lol - a cow I did months ago. . . and the unicorns I am working on right now.

I appreciate that you like my offer, I like to give.

If I win you may HAVE some money! 😄

I hope I will win the lottery tomorrow

It is like bedazzling but smaller! I will post some pics tomorrow. They're in the room & hubby is asleep I don't want to wake him

I heard this in Kohl's the other day and it MADE MY DAY! ❤️ It's a super obscure song from Third Eye Blind (90's teenager here) lol And it's a remake from Alana Davis. . . I hope you enjoy it.

I don't know if anyone is into it or even heard of it - but diamond painting is taking tiny stones and sticking them to a canvas to make a picture out of the thousands of tiny stones, it keeps your hands SUPER busy! I love doing it to keep me distracted from smoking, just a suggestion if you're into that sort of thing Just Google it if you'd like more info or I would be happy to point you toward my favorite site! I've done at least 5 and that's before I even quit smoking! I never smoked while doing them.

NOPE!

Thanks for the great advice & tips everyone I plan on hanging out as much as I can. I work on an assembly line during the day and it's really hard to type while the line is moving, but I will try during breaks & lunch, etc. and when I get home. But I will be here reading for sure. The last 2 days have been rough but I am hanging in there. I don't want to give up. I am tired of stinking, not being able to breathe, spending money, and countless other things.

Never quit quitting, right? So I am back. I tried quitting at the end of last year - succeeded for about 3.5 weeks. Pretty good for me! I quit again yesterday and of course I need a support system so here I am again. You all were great last time! Although I didn't post much, I sure did lurk a lot, lol I don't remember how to change my ticker, so if someone could help me out with that, I'd appreciate it!

nope!

Hi all, just wanted to check in and say it's been 3 weeks, 2 days and I feel good. I am still using the patch, I see my doctor next week & I think I'll ask him to lower the dose. Not sure if it is time yet, but I'll ask.

I've been on dum-dum suckers! when you save the wrappers you can play a game online and win stuff. I've collected a few lol

I've been putting together lots of jigsaw puzzles!

Thanks for posting this. I am struggling with this a LOT.

Nope, not today!

Hi Jaime, I am new here too, also 39. I have most of the same feelings as you do. I am sure from reading everyone else's posts that you understand you're not alone. Reading up on quitting has helped me beyond words, maybe give that a try.

Thank you all so much! ? I can feel the support, and it helps tremendously!

Hi all, my name is Jill & I want to thank you for this wonderful site/forum! I have been snooping around here and have learned a lot. I quit smoking on December 27 at 2pm, just because my doctor had prescribed the patch and I figured, "what better time than now?" I put out my last smoke and put on a nicotine patch. I never ever in my life expected to be able to get this far! I am beyond proud of myself and although I am taking it day by day, I just can't imagine smoking another cigarette and wrecking all of this hard work I've put in. I smoked since I was 13, and will be 40 this May. That is the majority of my life. And I LOVED smoking, please let me tell you I really did. So this is a huge life changing event for me, and I am excited & scared at the same time. Thanks to you all for being here - this place is truly great and helpful.
