I have not had one puff since around 4:15 on January 15th.
LOL, love it! You know exactly when you put it down for good. Me too!
My two mantras at the very beginning were "get through 72" and "a cig will not solve this problem". AND....doing the NOPE pledge. You've got this Lennon...look how far already!!

I'm just having a bad day I think. Sometimes there are moments where I say I can do this. And really mean it. Other times I do want to go buy a pack. I won't. I have a goal but still... the thoughts are there.
Yep, the thoughts are there and the motivation ebbs and flows. Don't know why that is but it happens for me too and not just with quitting smoking. Cleaning closets is a good example, lol.

Hi Lennonluvr. I'm a new Quitter. And I agree what was said above...educate yourself and learn how to REFRAME your thinking so you are prepared to knock this down and get your life back There is a ton of info here on Quit Train and lots of helpful folks. The cravings are going to come and our tendency/pattern is to give in to it but that is where knowledge will help you. The emotional pull of having lost family and the possibility of your children losing you are great motivators.....AND, knowledge will give you more tools and insight. My first few days, I spent time reading the Newbie Database and watching videos. Having that info under my belt pulled me through more than one rough moment. The idea that I could be done with the nightmare if I could just push through 72 hours was enticing. One hard push, then little ones after that, then a life of freedom.
You can do this Lennonluvr. Soon you'll be free. Imagine that!

Thank you for coming back to post. It took courage and grace and I appreciate you doing this.
Yea, in those trigger/crave moments, knowing the nicotine fix won't solve a problem but will for certain create multiple problems seems to help. Cuz it won't fix anything....it just won't....ever.

One month! Way to take command and do it.

LOL, It'd be best to leave it to your imagination. The thing works, nuf said.
Are you putting a jacuzzi out in the gazebo?
