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

Jack, you need a ticker!  tracks your days quit and money saved.  It can be really motivating!  You can make one by clicking on the link below.  If you have any trouble let me know.  :)

i have made the clicker, but can't figure out how to save it and have it continue to keep track

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

Oh what's in a red death shot... that's a new one for me.

it's made with  a rocks glas each of  vodka, triple sec, amareto, sloe gin, southern comfort, and orange juice....and a 1/2 rocks glass of sour and 1/2 of grenadine....we keep several bottles cold all the time. it tastes just like hawaiian punch. and packs a punch...hahaha

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.

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
