August 5, 20215 yr Awesome @Dianne. You got that right - smoking will not solve anything but WILL make you feel bad about losing the quit. At least you can tackle the problems knowing you still have something to be proud about.
August 13, 20215 yr @Dianne, it might be worth remembering that yours was the very first thread I read, when I found the site. In the beginning, I was sure you weren’t going to succeed. But, then I read your latest posts, and saw that you were hanging in there. At the time, I said to myself, if this woman can stay away from cigarettes, so can I. I look to you for my own strength. I think we should all remember that we are examples to other newbies, and take responsibility for that fact. Ideally, we want others to succeed in their quits. If we give in, they might get discouraged, too. So, stay strong, so those of us with less time than you, can continue to follow your lead, and keep our quits intact.

September 3, 20214 yr Author Day 139 (I think) Still on the quit train. After literally a 3 month wait....should still be waiting another 2 weeks but they had a cancellation last week I finally got to see the oral surgeon and get these wisdom teeth plus 2 others pulled. Been a rather painful week. Am so thankful I finally got in. 3 months when you hurting a long time to hurt. Been a bit since I have been here. Just stopping in to say I still on the train and hanging in there and yay Ibuprofen my friend!
September 3, 20214 yr Good to "see" you @Dianne, congrats on your great quit😊 I'm really happy for you that you were able to get your dental work done🤗
September 3, 20214 yr Hi, Dianne. I hope your mouth feels better, soon, and glad you are still riding the train….😊
September 3, 20214 yr @Dianne I had to get partials, so I feel your pain. Lots of water and ibuprofen.
September 3, 20214 yr Nice hearing from you @Dianne! Thankful that you are still on the train and that things are moving along for you! Keep in touch! 🤗
September 4, 20214 yr Ouch !!!.... Sorry for your pain Dianne.... Hope it all heals quick ... Congratulations on your great quit ....😁
September 5, 20214 yr Hey you look at what you have done already ! Generally, nicotine will leaves your blood within 1 to 3 days after you stop using tobacco, and cotinine will be gone after 1 to 10 days. Neither nicotine nor cotinine will be detectable in your urine after 3 to 4 days of stopping tobacco products. You can say I AM NICOTINE AND COTININE FREE ! Edited September 5, 20214 yr by Opah

January 17, 20224 yr Author Just popping in to say I still on the quit train. Guess I at about the 9 month mark now. I can see why people encouraged to make a one year commitment to being on the train here. You may think you doing good (and if you on the quit train you ARE) but getting through the holidays is a challenge and though all the moments of life a year can send your way If you lurking and thinking on it....you can do this...absolutely a 100% you can do this. I hope you do and chose something good for yourself. You do deserve it! And all those on the train I hope you have a beautiful peaceful New Year. Thank you for your shared stories that helped/help me and so many others!

January 19, 20233 yr Author Popping in to say hi and share I was headed into the grocery store today. There a guy standing by the doors with a unlit cigarette. He asked the guy ahead of me if he had a lighter. He did not, so I thought I would spare him asking me. When I got close to him I said sorry I too do not have a lighter. He said oh, I was not going to ask you I already knew you wouldn't. hehehe I cannot tell you how that made me smile....Happy New Year to all those riding train (I know I a bit late in wishing that here) in April it will be 2 years for me. I so grateful for finding this site and those on it. I so grateful to be a non-smoker. To those thinking of getting on the train...DO IT...life as a non-smoker is so much better. Do not hesitate...just do it...the quicker you do it...the quicker you come on out onto the other side of it all Hope everyone has a blessed day!
