May 8, 201511 yr WTF??? Who goes almost 7 months and then starts to shake? Me..I do..I Knew IT was coming...my biggest fear , back on the water....hanging on by a thread....wish me luck off I go!
May 8, 201511 yr Ok miss jess, if you get bad jump in the water! Or get fellow crew member to slap you aside the face with a wet fish works every time! Seriously you got this, fear is making it worse drink lots of water, breath deeply, eat and NOPE it safe travels xx
May 8, 201511 yr I think you might surprise yourself and feel just how grounded your quit truly is. NOPE!
May 8, 201511 yr You have a great no smoking thing going on Jess... don't let it beat you... NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE! 7 months is not worth throwing away... only to have to go through the physical stuff all over again You have learnt too much by now... it is never just one or a couple of smokes just for good times sake... you know that Have heaps of fun Jess... you can make the fun happen without the nicotine addiction :)
May 9, 201511 yr Jess... nope! http://www.quittrain.com/topic/259-pre-respond-to-your-own-sos/?p=100152
May 9, 201511 yr you won't smoke...Gigi doesn't smoke, remember? Jess...this is normal to occur....the entire first year is a roller coaster....just when you think the "smoke" has cleared ....there it is again.. It won't last though, and you will come out of this weekend stronger than ever. have fun and enjoy the new you xo
May 9, 201511 yr Author Hanging on.. grounded. .we will see MQ.This is my test..this next month makes me ..breaks me...Come on Steve.. I need you cuz help me here♡
May 9, 201511 yr Every now and then that stupid junkie comes around. But no matter, you don't need him anymore. You are healthy, gorgeous, and free.
May 9, 201511 yr They do come as such as a surprise don't they? Ticking along and then BAM! Don't worry Jess. The surprise makes it feel worse than it is. You think you want a cigarette - but if you actually think about the act of lighting up a tube of paper, of smoke getting into your eyes, the catch in your throat as the poison goes in - the rekindling of the desire to smoke another one and another one and another one - of you stinking, your clothes stinking... You don't want that. Recognise the trigger, laugh at it and get on with having a cracking time! You'll be fine Jess. ;)
May 9, 201511 yr Hey Jess - stay strong this to will pass ... You can do this ! Get on with enjoying that wonderful smoke free life and know we are all cheering you on ! xx
May 9, 201511 yr That nico monster is still trying to trick you....have non of it.....you are stronger than he is.... Tell him to ******* off.... Keep shouting nope....you have a great quit....guard it well....xx
May 9, 201511 yr Well? How did it end up? The way I said it would? Of course it did. I was only wrong once in my life and that's when I thought I was wrong. :)
May 9, 201511 yr Hope you're resting up now Jess and that all is well with you. They are sneaky those triggers, you are stronger though. There is no "hardest month" because you are a non smoker my lovely, there's simply some triggers that you get to face and be done with. Every trigger dealt with equals a stronger quit! You got this beauty, onwards and upwards. x
May 9, 201511 yr Author Made it through last night..easy peasy however, tonight is the welcome back party at the marina. There will be drinks on the dock , food and all the smokers. My true test being around my smoking friends and having drinks... Keeping the disgusting thought of smoking in my head. I am a non smoker. If I can get through the test tonight I got this! Thanks everyone for listening and keep your fingers crossed for me!

I will laugh as you say because I cannot be fooled into putting that nasty cig to my mouth! Thanks friend♡
May 9, 201511 yr Author Jess... nope! http://www.quittrain.com/topic/259-pre-respond-to-your-own-sos/?p=100152 Thanks Jen ♡

I need to hit this head on see those others smoking and rejoice that it is no longer me. I can do this, I have done this. Here's to facing the demons head on! I think ( fingers crossed )I got this! I cannot lose my quit on the heels of 7 months.

I cannot lose my quit on the heels of 7 months.I bet most of those smokers are so jealous of you...keep this in your mind when you look at them..Evelyn is right they HAVE to smoke ..they are addicts...x
May 9, 201511 yr What is this "if I get through tonight" you speak of.... YOU ARE A NON SMOKER!! YOU HAVE BEEN A NON SMOKER FOR 7 WONDERFUL MONTHS There is no battle here my lovely, there is a choice. Go back to that addicted and poor fool or give it "hell no, thoughts can't take my quit down". You own it, like you always have. You are stronger than you know but sending strength too. xx
May 9, 201511 yr Besides, what you've endured and not smoked, fun times on the water isn't going to threaten anything. Easy peasy lemon breezy and chewy Stewy. :)
