April 19, 20179 yr I am new to the board but have been lurking a few days. I am early in my quit but am going strong!! 19 days and feeling good. The cravings come and go but i am using Chantix and it has been very helpful. I have found reading all of your posts has been so helpful and has made the cravings pass quickly! Thank you all for your support!
April 19, 20179 yr Welcome to the Train RM23. Grab a seat and join us for a ride to freedom :) With 19 days under your belt, you've go a really good start on your quit! For me, it was tough for pretty much the first full month then started getting better and now at 2 and a half months, things are pretty good. Just maintaining my quit and using all the tools I have developed along the way. Urge to smoke is still that at times but it is weaker then early on and I can brush those thoughts aside more quickly now. It sure does get better all the time. Stay with us and participate as much as you can. Looking forward to following your journey :)

April 20, 20179 yr What's a Raider that you are a mom to? Rewards. You have to reward yourself as nobody else will do it. Small things at first, magazine or pair of shoes. But buy something you normally pass on to help reward yourself for the hard work
April 22, 20179 yr Welcome, Raidermom! How is your quit going so far? Please check in as often as you can, especially if you need some support or help. :)
