Mason! Congrats! Time flies eh. Very well done.

You, My dear, are awesome. Congrats!!

Ugh, sounds like a challenge to say the least girl.

You can do this, I know it, and you know it. Some great advice listed here. We are here if you need Anything. I so very much want success and happiness for you.

What a great post Lace :)

Don't be nervous! This is a safe haven.

I always thought to myself when I was first quitting, that I wasn't interested in impressing anyone with my method of quitting, I was looking to quit smoking permanently. By hook or by crook, I was done. Welcome welcome, great to have you. I heart Allen Carr, but I don't expect everyone to feel the same. We must all use what works for us, to get healthy and to be (relatively) happy. And if we have a few laughs along the way, so much the better. This is a place for anyone wanting to quit, or has quit. Or even toying with the idea of stopping. We are here to assist in any way that we can.

I haven't looked for a long time, but I've saved roughly $1925 since quit smoking. Hb quit on same day and smoked more than me (and he ironically 'loved' smoking a lot less than I thought I 'loved' smoking. That's why I do not rec the cutting down method, makes every cig seem precious because of the severe withdrawal.) So who knows what we have saved combined. I probably spent most of it on my PRK surgery and this blasted Boston Terrier, Solange. What have you saved / got instead?

The 'house' episode, 'whackamole' the kid stopped smoking without even trying. His illness made him lose the taste for it. And it was the kid actor from 'almost famous.' Again, welcome WAM. :D Congrats on a great decision quitting!

Good luck on your test! I am sure you will do great. :)

Yes please you guys (and everyone) feel free to start new threads with updates/rants/songs/anything you want so we don't miss them.

Keep up the good work, and it agree with Bakon. Little rewards help us so much at first. Great job!! The worst is behind you.

I must have missed this! Marti very good job. Xoxo. Seems like you've been a non smoker forever. :)

I am totally addicted to youtube sleep meditations! I can't see this bc I'm on my iPad but I'm going to check it out. I'm always on the lookout for new meditations. I think your work is like mine, extremely stressful. Meditations help soothe frazzled nerves.

Hahahah. Love it.

Hhahahaha. Dyin.

Omg you guys are f'ing funny.

Imma apologize for not seeing any of this til now.

Oh the WORST thing was that little unhealthy sounding crackle when I laughed really hard when I was a smoker. I made sure to only laugh hard around close friends. Near the end there, I started to feel a twinge in my left lung, and who knows I may not be out of the words yet, but feel 100% since quitting. Just goes to show you, as I was not a terribly heavy smoker (closet smoker constantly in withdrawal) you still get all the bad side effects!

30 min elliptical, 20 min kettlebell abs this am

I'm glad to see you both!!

I love this thread :wub:

I watched the heck out of quit smoking vids when I quit and they helped so much. Made me feel more solid in my quit. Thoughts are not things, and you are doing wonderful Evelyn. We are here for you. :)

Welcome Whack! We'd love to hear more about you and your quit. We are here to help :) I think that support makes all the difference in the quit.

I have a bit of an issue with eating, esp. Since I quit. I try and tell myself to view it as fuel only, but it doesn't usually work! Work in progress still. On that note, better go workout. =/. It's gonna break my puppy's heart but she will have to live.
