April 10, 20224 yr Sorry to worry anyone. My son, girlfriend, daughter, and SIL were in town for over a week. Turned off my quit site so no one could see the site on the computer (remember son and daughter don't know I smoked). Having so many people around all the time definitely helped control the cravings. Just like with having my wife keep my keys hidden, it really helps control the urges knowing if I smoked, I would come home and people would be able to tell I was smoking. I'm 2 days past my longest period of not smoking. Hurray. Still having memories and triggers though.
April 10, 20224 yr You're doing great @JustinHoot99. You're going to have memories and triggers for a while. We smoked for a lot of years making a lot of triggers to get past. Just keep reminding yourself that you got past that last one and can get through the next one 😊
April 11, 20224 yr good to step back and take it on your own for a bit. glad you are still maintaining that quit. kudos
April 11, 20224 yr Glad you're doing well and keeping your quit. Yep, triggers abound - this experience is a pretty intense obstacle course. But if you've made it this far, you've got the agility to go the distance.
May 3, 20224 yr How’s it going, @JustinHoot99? Just checking in… you oughta be hitting your two month mark right around now?
May 5, 20224 yr Keep up the good work. The first few months are the hardest. Not sure why you would hide the fact that you smoked, from family. They are a good source of support. My kids are all proud of my quit. I will celebrate 1 year on the 10th. Stay close, play our silly games, and, above all, reach out if you are tempted to light up, BEFORE YOU DO! we are all here for you. Kat
