ONE - POINT - FIVE Years of Fabulous Freedom !!!!

Don't forget to lather and rinse. (wow bad joke...sorry guys)

Ugh.

Nice.

Hiya Kendra...you CAN do this. It's not easy, but it's super-dooper simple - - No Puff, No Matter What. Do what it takes to dispel that negative energy. As long as no one is seriously harmed it's totally fine to freak-out. Let the beastly emotions run their course because "the only way out is through." Of the many people who started their quit around your time, you are the only one succeeding. Keep going!!! Life will get MORE peaceful as you put more time between you and your last smoke. Don't fold. You got this.

I just notice that cash sticks around. I have $-bills for a long time...that was never the case.

Changing.

Thanks for this reality check here. Monstrous addiction!!!! Why would I EVER want to go back and start the worst part all over again? I am grateful to be where I'm at - with seldom thoughts on the darn things Funny though. Hadn't gone to the Vets with my dog since I quit - - and lo and behold, as I'm driving there, a craving hits. Hadn't faced that particular trigger without smokes. Sniped it. :dirol:

If you rarely sign-in to the forum - screw it. The best friend you can talk with is your higher self. This too shall pass.

Nope, never that.

Rock on Lady.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woooooo hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I'm with SunnySide here. The puffs keep the nicomonster alive. STARVE THAT THING. STARVE IT OUT.

!!DD !! ;)

Remembered something else --- She lived in Vermont, USA.

Chrysalis...she got me here and LEFT! :) But quite grateful she got me here.

Marti dream over here...went to visit her apartment. She had a cool aquarium. Her neighbors were kinda mean and crabby. Kids were running around. The dream was over two months ago but it was a cool one. I sent her the details as a private message but her INBOX WAS TOO FULL. EMPTY YOUR INBOXES SILLIES. :angry: :lol:

Not to mention the miracle of two ex smokers not killing eachother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hardy Har

Aw shucks guyz.

In 4 days I will celebrate my 10 month mark. I've not had a single puff in these 10 months. I did not sacrifice a single inhale to death sticks. Astounding!!! To quit smoking has been my number one, most important goal. Nothing has come before it. I've made it this far because I've made this quit my top priority. If the choice is between smoking a cigarette OR: punching myself in the face slamming my head into walls running 3 times a day even when my bones ACHE potentially losing my job inflicting minor damage to my skin gaining 20 pounds arguing and screaming with my boyfriend asking for help from strangers on this forum baking bread/cakes every night in 90 degree heat I choose the latter - - - because the rules remain: NEVER TAKE ANOTHER PUFF & NOT ONE PUFF EVER. To apply these hard-fast rules is the only way to break this incredible addiction. Quitting is not for everyone. Undoing a lifelong dependency, undoing a lifelong coping mechanism, proves too difficult for many folks. But I will overcome. I do not want to forfeit my life to submission & servitude. I will no longer play supplicant to a host of deadly chemicals.

Two Two Two Two!!!!!!!!!

Sopranos

Me too!!!!

...as I took an evening walk I could smell the difference between the flowers I passed. I could smell the difference between the laundry detergents/softeners @ each house I passed. The still-fresh experience of the nuance.

Way to go! Gem power.
