Jackie :) Well done you! ;)

jACKIE :)

Don't have to go far on Internet to read that people give up quits at 3 months, 4 months, 7 months, 11 months... the first year is a freaking mine field -- New expanding lungs whisper, "Don't betray me again, please, I'm starting to feel so good," Yes, lungs talk, say thank you. But still, people everywhere are giving up the quit. So tweeners or whatever the heck they are called at 3 month to a year need support just like the 3 day quit... cuz to lose a quit after so much hard work is TRAGIC

Checking in... 90 days quit, raw, No Man's land anxiety like sizzling live wire zapping new energy from transmogrified lungs PMing peeps nice ones PM back one is more interested in stoopid talk on the forum and complaining of nothing going on while sincere newbies are wrestling with new quits all over the place maybe PM a newbie would be nice just say hi, hope you are okay sorry if i sound like a $itch but new and tweenie newbies (in no man's land and elsewhere) are working really hard like TEW, Ricki, Tyme, Jackie, Ev, Big Feet, Larks, Eriklambie...etc im reading more and PMing not posting much these days 'cept now to "check in" --- really needing wisdom about getting to 4 months, 7 months, a year and forward just not interested in sheenanigans and play building a quit into one's life is not boring but essential and pivotal, and if these days the quit hurts don't want to feel quilty about it it is what it is, i don't smoke --- but 90 days is new, Ava, you are right, and apologies to Marti cuz i've been employing a pretty good silent scream these days and special thanks to Jackie, Tyme, and Lambieman, Larks, congrats, speedy-leggings, and hail to former Mayor Markus, you're the (sha)MAN... thanks

grateful and filled with joy...to....n.o.p.e. --- today, and every day... for the rest of my life...

Too/Two Cool !!! Thank you for inspiring me. You are the funny, brilliant lady - who, yes, INSPIRES !!! Congrats !!! :heart: :heart: :heart: Eat something naughty!!!! You deserve to be naughty, cuz you're so nice, and smell so sweet, and don't smoke !!! :pioneer:

Markus, thank you for giving me the understanding of a strong quit philosophy. Thank you for giving me the understanding of F.R.E.E.D.O.M. and GTQ. You're the man!

Haha...now we've got two threads of celebration going on for you, Tymie...and I'd say......no way on waiting to uncork the wine...you remembered, and I think you need to start celebrating RIGHT NOW. :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

TYME2B, TODAY IS YOUR QUIT ANNIVERSARY!!! YOU ROCK, SISTA!!! :girl_wink: :girl_pinkglassesf: LET'S START THIS PARTY!!!

Thanks for being there, and my hope is your road will also smooth out from this point onwards. We have both been unwavering in our desire to build a strong and lasting quit. I think our quits are finally hearing us. :) Everyone loves your name, Tyme2B, because it says it all! :wub:

Thank you for all your inspiring posts. And for ever changing profile pix -- keeping it fresh. Like your quit! ;)

Thank you. Just gave myself hearty back pat. Three months ago it would probably have started a coughing fit. :o Now, it just feels great. :wub: :D

I will. It's called OXYGEN! :)

Who is in charge of my quit? I am. This is my very best tip from you. Thanks. Who gets to enjoy freedom? I do. That's the payoff of owning the quit. F.R.E.E.D.O.M.

Karl, best of luck to you in your great quit. Your post really inspired me to see that the freedom I now enjoy is the quit's greatest joy and reward. I'm slowly training for 10K...if I have to walk/jog it this year that's okay...there's always next year...to do the full run. If I have to crawl it I will be in that 10K...off today to register and get my tshirt...

The greatest reward for not smoking...is not smoking. I feel deeply grateful and happy today. FREEDOM IS THE NEW NORMAL !!!

n.o.p.e. I have three months today. The greatest reward for not smoking is ... not smoking. Freedom!

You seem to instinctively know what is best for you. You are going to rock this quit, sweetie! :wub: Take care!

Thank you. I have been waiting so long for three months and now it's here. It's a very special week, and thank you for your good wishes.

I definitely had what felt like the flu...aches and pains, fatigue etc. Good you are getting checked out. That feeling did go away. I guess it is just related to metabolism readjusting, and body detoxing. As they always say here....drinks lots and lots of water. Best of luck to you in your quit, Michele. You're a trooper!

n.o.p.e. for today and tomorrow...

Thank you, Sonic. I love this!

Thank you to all who helped me establish a solid quit philosophy. In the past week I have felt a positive change in my physical and mental health. Thanks to all who helped me dampen my health anxiety. The promise that "it gets better" has been fulfilled. Quitting is a beautiful freedom. THANK YOU, QUIT, AND QUIT TRAIN!!! :wub:

Big congrats! when?

Well, Marti, I used a pacifier (binky, dummy) my first week, so I really shouldn't venture an opinion on what works for others. My method was plain weird. :umnik2:
