Welcome back, @NoMore2024! Great to have you with us. You wrote: “I know about neuropathways in the brain and that its just going to take time and that it will improve.” ^^^ Yes to this! It absolutely gets better with time. You will build new norms and your nonsmoking muscles will get stronger day by day. It’s a beautiful thing. But until that gels, lean on us. Stay close to the board and tell us about your journey, successes and frustrations. We’ve been there. Folks here will keep you company, provide a reality-check, make you laugh, and serve as accountability buddies. You seem to have a good grasp on some of your triggers - that’s great, it will help you protect your quit to know when you’re especially vulnerable. No doubt about it, quitting feels wretched for a while. But remember, cravings are not commands. The are just loud obnoxious commercials shouting about crap you don’t wanna buy. You can change the channel. We’re here to help!

So sorry to hear about Tiki, @jillar. Holding you both in my heart.

Truly an inspiration to those of us following in your footsteps! And wise words about translating what we learn about addiction to other facets of our lives. Thanks and happy anniversary!

NOPE. Glad to have you here, @Summer! Reading all the great posts here on the Train helped me to quit, too. Keep reading. Knowledge is power… and you’re not alone! Check in often to let us know how you’re doing. People who are active on the forum tend to have more successful quits. See you around!
