Congratulations on your 4th month quit @QuittingGirl! Celebrate! Celebrate! Celebrate!

Congratulations @Rajag! 100 months is an awesome milestone! You have every right to be so very extremely proud of yourself! 🥳

Congratulations on your 3 year quit! You are doing great. Make sure to reward yourself!

😂 @Kate18!

This is wonderful info @breath! And an early congrats on your 22 year quit! Awesome!

Congratulations Bri on your 7 month of being quit! You’ve got the wind in your sails so sail on!

Hop down off that fence M and try this again. We are here for you and want to see you quit forever. You are so clever with your words. Use them. Day and night. Whenever you have the need. No matter the tone.

The gift of failure is knowledge if you are wise and you have acknowledged and named some truths here, Stew. Thanks for sharing so that I and others know to remain vigilant in guarding are quits. We are all vulnerable. We like to say we are not, but the truth is that we are human and we all slip up, we all make mistakes. 🤗

Niiiice.

@Reciprocity I do hope that your story puts a heavy conviction upon your friend to quit and leave his addictions behind. Cigarettes, weed, and vaping? I feel sorry for him. Maybe check on him in 6-8 weeks to see if he mentions anything? But how did the fishing go? Me too Yoda. Me too. But I will say that I was shut up in a car with a smoking brother and sister last week and I literally got nauseated. My eyes were burning and my throat started hurting. Seriously took a shower, washed my hair, brushed my teeth, and immediately laundered the clothes I had on when I got home. It was bad.

Congratulations Sunshine! 4 years quit is awesome.

Congratulations Garry! 7 years is awesome!

At least you are are ready, willing, and able to try again! You know the drill.

Maybe so @jillar @DenaliBlues can let us know if she received a notification that someone rated one of her posts when she is able.

Ugh…I really wanted to go back and ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ a post that helped me out a lot when I first quit smoking, but none of those had the ‘rate this’ option. So, I’m going to rate DenaliBlues’ A Pound of Prevention post from yesterday. If that doesn’t deserve ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ nothing does.

Ohhhhh, okay! I’ll just pick one! Now, which one will it be?

I joined this forum two and a half years ago and I’ve never noticed the ‘Rate this Topic’ section under the title?! I feel like a complete idiot and now I feel like I need to reread everything and rate it! 🤣 The sad thing is that I probably will. I feel like my work is incomplete and that is not acceptable. Some kind of OCD…ishness I’m sure. I also want everyone to be happy, so I’ll probably be handing out a whole bunch of five star ratings ! HaHa

Paul said it best. You can’t unlearn what you know. And besides you said, You say goodbye to your dad in the way that you know he would have wanted. Invoking all that he loved most about your home. But you uphold your vow to protect your quit by vowing to protect the beautiful, pure, unravaged wilderness where you will set your dad free. You can’t do that if you are exhaling 1000’s of chemicals into the air and why would you allow NicoDemon to come in and take control of such a solemn occasion refusing to allow you to give your memories and grief the attention they deserve while placing those chains back on you and why, why, why would you bring those vile, wretched, murderous tobacco companies along to snicker and roll their eyes at your misfortune while planning to trap you into paying for their multimillion dollar lifestyles? You’ve got this, Denali. My thoughts will be with you! Take care!

Congratulations on your 2 week quit MLMR. Congratulations on realizations and rationalizations, searching and finding, grasping and letting go, dramatizations and zen. I really do believe you’ve got yourself a forever quit.

Have a great time @Mac#23!

Enjoy life by the sea! And no, you can’t stay forever. 😉

You are amazing @Slow progress!

Glad that everything is looking good on your tests. You are very fortunate.
