Don't tell it yourself, promise yourself.. commit... any barriere in between, an argument, a fight, being fired from your job, mental health prob, none of it can come in between if you commit and make it your priority to NOT ONE PUFF EVER. It's not like you get a craving and 'you suddenly happen to light one' it's always intended. Before you light one ask yourself is it worth it? See my signature, there's no 'mythical' one,when you smoke, light one or relapse it is the situation you often feel bad and you MAKE it the excuse. Guess what? NO excuse in the world justifies lighting one, I pledged NOPE for months. And if you do puff, with an excuse, the only thing you hear is Bakon replying 'Window licker' is your own voice in your head beating yourself up... because it is and will never will be the same... once you want to quit, REALLY, you're going down a river, a stream and you can't go back to being a happy smoker :) The lido deck is nothing special, I'm on it, but I still have to commit, anywhere anytime I get tempted or in a situation there's a trigger I hdn't faced before :) You quit smoking, you stick with it but you will never be a non-addict. One puff brings your brain in smoking modus.Always remember that, Be confident, believe in yourself but be aware of the monster breathing in your neck. Yes on the lido deck, which means more then 12 months you easier dismantle triggers, see thru traps etc. You become an experienced ex-smoker, And when you are there, you can help newbies too ;)

huh, which way o we go now???

Bakon, lol, you fruitcake

NOPE

I think he swallows it ;) couldn't find the word :P

Hilarious, I can imagine your face :P I'm trying to say he tries to cover it... maybe he inhales and does with a drink, I DUNNO. So ye thru his friggin ears :P

I used patched off and on 10 years / smoking in between... blablabla. Bakon told me a piece of his mind (he believed in me) and I believe in you. You do NOT need patches, pills replacements etc. I do recommend you to take some juice, your withdrawls are worsent since you skipped a step of patches so less nicotine, lotsa nicotine withdrawls are confuse with low sugar levels so take a coca cola for my care :) or a jiuce, or tea with some sugar. I quit CT, used LOTS of sugar first 3 days and cut back on sugar after that. Easy Peasy right Srg?

I tried those suckers in 2014 once, yuck. I'm a clear black'nwhite addict. I quit with ALL nicotine. NOPE to all so even TRYING his is not an option :)

Like I said in aother tread my neighbor uses one, but kinda self-made, he's a techkid. His I allow him to use in my room :) he outhales in his shirt (or trhu his ears) i hate the smell but I don't mind it when he arrives at 19:00 PM he might inhale 3 or 2 times, it's more hes got a tech thingy lol

Thank you Karen :) I appreciate it you do so, (weird line )oh and I tried to fix (sorta) a profile pic, the URL adress is in your topic ;) just copy it it should be ok??? And you know what? In a year you stand on the lido deck, doing what I do for you now ;) keep your eyes on the prize

I can help you out, maybe ???? Can you PM me the pic? I can try to crop it so you only see "I quit smoking" lol on my very new smarthphone :P just pm me and I'll try to fix it

Indigo, you are certainly good on your way, hell and heckweek behind you :D And it really was Door (((huggs)))

I just feel like saying I really am thankful and love you guys, yes chicks too... Beth suddenly gone... never ever did an internet community, or family the way I feel, has had so much impact. I keep thinking if only I had known... I had Beth on facebook, I don't think she realised how much I appreciated her, ALL of you!!! She was wise, and I'm not gonna get all smoochy now; but you peple better realise NOW I came back, because of Beth... I realised I want to be the sticking around one. Not because I'm scared to relapse, but I want to help others, like we all help each other. And no matter how early you quit and stay quit it's no gueranty you might not die smoking related. This place has something, most other communities lack. Loyalty, caring, tough love, and commitment. For 3 months I struggled as some of you on facebook noticed but I want to be the caring one, the kick in the butt. I walked out peeked in every now and then but the most precious thing the members of this place have, is the 'caring and staying' for others... Beth did. Not every day, you have to let go of some things to gro, but sometimes you have to keep a little line between the old place where you kicked off and where you are now, because if WE do not believe in the new quiters (and stay believing in ourselves) and commit to NOPE and to the QUITTRAIN then this wasn't a special place and I wouldn't be smooshy and realising how rare this is Everyone, member, or lurkers... jump on the quittrain and ride along. It's worth it (now where's those heart-smilies???)

Uhm a non-announced-try-out-complicated-but-we-try-it-slow :P Try-out worked well :D

I see a huge SMOKING :P

BTW my piggies have been adopted :( took me too much emotional hurt and they're too catchy for diseases

I lost weight by just walking stairs, cycling, more walking :) a whole size :D and I wasn't even fat or close to having too 'much'. Think I have now a Medium. Haven't had that in I think 5 years LOL

Don't have credit card :(

Hihihi, start walking, no more bike you boy :P, climb stairs... carcs aren't that bad if you cut away sugar ;)

Het beste wat ik ooit had - Marco Borsato

Funny, it IS a choice; 10 years I considered it a MUST DO.... now if I want I can buy one single fag in a Turkish store in my neighborhoud... if I want... but do I??? Is it my choice??? No. My GF tried to make her smoking invisible... to prevent me relapsing, she smoked 3 in a whole afternoon!!! Told her it's okay if you wanna smoke it's YOUR smoking, not mine :) My choice :) She silently asked can I smoke on the balconny, yup go ahead ;) I dont care... not anymore. CHOICE... love it!!! KarenLou, you got this, come to the board, post an SOS if needed...sit on your quit and don't let ANYONE incl yourself stealing it away from you. It's your crown. Quiting is the best you do for yourself, your HB and like my GF says often you've gome so far you've achieved so much... well anyone can, so excuse justifies lighting one up. Make your HB jealios... make him start thinking... is this what I want? Is this my choice, in his words? Be your own example girl and be his ;)

Sad... so sad

Well not on Valentine, but Friday before: Me and my (complicated facebook status) made it an official relationship :D :D :D Like no one ever saw it coming lol Love her very much
