May 10, 20224 yr Hey gang. I am starting from square one again. I relapsed but now quitting for good. I am using the CDC online resources called Quit For Life. It has some new tools like 24/7 chat. I am finding it very helpful. So I am two days into my quit. Help me make it the last quit for good. Thanks
May 10, 20224 yr Mindset is everything. Once you commit, really commit, to never smoking again you find the way. Godspeed Kdad.
May 10, 20224 yr You got this @Kdad you know you want it, as you keep coming back. Now you have some more tools in your armory let's get you rolling along further down the track. Congratulations on getting through the first two days!
May 10, 20224 yr Good to see you Kdad... There,s always room in your tool box for more help .... We are all rooting for you ...🐸
May 11, 20224 yr Sorry about the relapse but good on you for getting back to quitting. As Curly Howard once said...
May 11, 20224 yr Welcome back @Kdad! Two days in and you are sounding good about this quit. We are all here to help!
May 11, 20224 yr Glad to have you back on the Train, @Kdad. Nice work on your two days so far - here's to many more to come!
May 11, 20224 yr Good for you! The more support the merrier! The 24/7 chat seems beneficial- is it w quitting counselors or other quitters? Get it done!! L4L
May 12, 20224 yr Okay, this is embarrassing, but I dreamt of you last night. A purple walrus, what is down with that? I also dreamt of Opah? Do I just have people on my mind I don't know but care about? Is it because I am struggling too? I do not have a clue. The only thing I know for sure is that I care about how others are doing. I care about their struggles. It makes me keep fighting for sure. I am blessed to have one friend here that I talk to that listens to me bitch, whine and moan about all my troubles. I am surprised she has not sent me a bill for services rendered. The point I am trying to make is that this place works. We can come here and throw our struggles to the wind, discuss our difficulties whatever they may be, celebrate any wonderful things that come into our life. We can count on acceptance, advice, congratulations and support. I know you have had a hard time with this as have I. I want to smoke, right here, right now but I am not going to do it because I am here typing these words. I know that strength is coming, I just need to be patient for the next post that will calm my shattered nerves. Just realize it is okay to struggle, it is okay to ask for help, it is okay to be patient for strength. That is the only way to get thru this, one minute at time, I know you can do it because I am doing it. I am patient!
May 12, 20224 yr Author LOL! The Walrus is from Sweet Pickles, my daughters favorite books. Thanks for the comforting words.
May 12, 20224 yr Well, you are the second purple being in my life, the first was Barney, my son's favorite. I may be crazy but I am consistent.
