  1. Maybe, this link will help: https://gtc.marlboro.com/marlboro/security/removemyname
  2. Eff all these tobacco companies I can almost see their lecherous advertisements " Feeling low and alone? Are you old and all by yourself... With no one to wish you on your birthday or your anniversary? Have no fear... Phillip Morris is here... We never forget your birthday or your anniversary.. We're here to encourage you to your deatheversary.... So go ahead have a Phillip Morris today..." Eff 'em How the hell did they get info on addresses and birthdays anyway? *Just a sarcastic take on how tobacco companies may try to feed off the aged, nothing else*
  3. Congratulations on a 6 year quit!!!

    Yup, also thinking "I got a decent quit timeline going, I don't want to start from Day 1 all over again. Besides, I don't what to go through the whole process of the initial days of quitting again.", may help
  5. Congratulations on a 1 year quit!!!
  6. I read somewhere that doing intense exercises after periods of not doing exercise can cause problems in the knees. Off course, pain in the knees can be due to age as well. However don't take my word for it, since the pain could be due to an unknown reason, maybe you could get the knees checked by a doctor?

    I'm happy the worst is over for you. Its also good that you focus on what you've gained from your quit. I suppose a reminder to oneself about why one quit smoking in the first place and looking at the gains, prevents one from becoming complacent and relapsing (just my opinion).

  9. Torn between Thin Lizzy's version and Metallica's version, I found both equally good. So, I can't vote.
  10. Water, exercising (during the week), and sticking to a wake time and sleep time usually makes the morning stuff happen for me. Usually, there is Morning Stuff Volume 1 before breakfast, and Morning Stuff Volume 2 after breakfast.
  11. @hesteralumni23 I hope you find what you're looking for. All the best!!! P.S. - I hope my replies in some way didn't influence your decision. Take care

    @Doreensfree Yes, I've seen that thread. I thought of letting off steam there several times, but eventually decided against it, because some the things I say when I'm angry may be offensive to others on the board (in spite of the thread being a swear thread), even though it won't be directed towards anyone on QuitTrain.

    @Boo Thank you

    By my experience, many people do that...I've had friends who are like that, I've been like that as well, irrespective of being angry or not. Problem is, it can be misunderstood in so many ways. I suppose its OK to swear, its 2019 after all.
  15. Congratulations on achieving the 3 month milestone!!!
  16. @hesteralumni23 As an example, when I do have a crave for a cigarette, I admit it to myself that "Yes, I have a crave" but I then say to myself "I'm not going to succumb to it". Now, I understand that this "Haze" that you speak of is not the same thing as a crave to you, but since you already admit that you're in The Haze, you could maybe soon after tell yourself "I'm not going to succumb to it, instead, I'll do something else"....just a suggestion. As mentioned by others on the board, you may have other issues and traumas that you're dealing with. Here's a link to a channel I found on Youtube. It's by a former therapist, named Daniel Mackler. Please do have a look at it. https://www.youtube.com/user/dmackler58 Here's another video that may help you. Pay more attention to the part he starts talking about the "craving monster". If it makes things easier for you, you could replace the words "craving monster" with the words "The Haze monster". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTb3d5cjSFI Hope this helps.

    I do work out, at least 4 times a week. I used to think that it would be a great way to channel my anger into something positive, but it turns out it just doesn't work that way for me. It's not like I'm angry while working out. I may be angry before or after exercising or at any time during the day, irrespective of what activity I'm doing during the day, it depends on what's going through my head and if somebody makes me angry. I like to keep calm as far as possible while doing a given activity.
