Really glad you posted an SOS here, @Kdad. Smart move! Your quit is precious, worth protecting. Keep talking with people here on the Train, playing games, inventing new ways to distract yourself at home. It gets easier after a while. You can do this!

Well done, @Robbie! Congrats on your year.

Indiscreetly. Now embarrassed.

Welcome back, @Kdad. Great to hear from you, and congrats on 6 days smoke-free! That's wonderful. I think every smoker has a unique path to freedom, but we all eventually converge through one door: NOPE. You and @johnny5 nailed it with those four powerful letters. Take good care. Post often. Keep busy. Strategize in advance for what you will do instead of smoking when the urge strikes. Scream and holler if you need to. Ask questions. We're here to help each other Keep the Quit.

I escaped smoking.

Thanks for posting this @Brioski. It’s a helpful discussion for me, too. My experience quitting has not been linear, it goes in odd zigzags. Sometimes I feel good, strong, and in touch with the positive aspects of quitting. Other days, I feel shattered. Today, for instance, all the emotions I used to dull with nicotine are quite raw. I know this is not permanent. For the first couple weeks of my quit, the impulse/longing to smoke was constantly buzzing through my body and brain. Now on day 54 it’s not a hive of bees any longer, more like a dull thud. So that’s a good trend. I’m very determined to keep this quit. But along the way, I have definitely had some days I’d like to fast forward through, either that or…

Way to go @Mac#23! Such respect for your two-year achievement!
