December 29, 20187 yr Hello Jack, You are building a great quit. Each day and each crave you whoop is a huge success. Remember, you never have to go through this again ! Keep your focus and don't be fooled by your addict voice. Here are some of our examples Red Flags Also, often a crave is just your body signalling something as in HALT, Hungry, Angry (emotional), Lonesome (bored), Tired check this out Riffing on HALT

December 30, 20187 yr Good Morning, Jack. I don't know how to do tickers but, I am sure someone will come along and help. ^^^^ Yay, Reci to the rescue ! When I quit, I put the dosh away in a little book. Every day, I would put the cost of a pack in between the pages. Soon, I switched to a big mason jar. The Mason Jar was great. Visible. I didn't need to fluff it up, the cash rapidly accumulated. Ducats were a great motivating factor for me. Remember, quitting smoking is a journey The Journey
December 31, 20187 yr Hello to a new day, Jack. I see that you have a ticker ! Welcome to your Fourth day of Freedom. I saw on another thread that you are quitting with your wife. Excellent news. Y'all will appreciate the new circulations ! and conquer craves in delightful ways. Sex, Health, Money and Time

January 1, 20197 yr Last time I poured shots on a mass scale it was Jam Doughnuts... and wet pvssy's.... not heard of a red death shot... intrigued and too lazy to google... but would be nice to one up the younger cousins.

January 1, 20197 yr Oh will try that on the boys (little cousins.. cos I am the bad influence cousin). Thanks Jack.
January 1, 20197 yr I'm a bit late in saying hello Jack, but hello and welcome. Congratulations on your 5 days quit, the first week is tricky (and maybe a bit of a shock) but you're nearly there and it gets better...keep checking in to QT it's a great place.
