Thank you. :pray:

I was tired of the daily quit process or the empty promises of I will quit tomorrow. I did have to be brutal and it was not easy. I did keep away from inside of gas stations and liquor stores where cigs were available so that I would not be tempted.
It does get easier as you keep pushing forward. We got your back here :people_hugging:

Your a rockstar girl. 1 week milestone is amazing :muscle:

I don’t know why but my mind does miss the release with smoking a cig…I remind myself how I’m enjoying waking up without the nasty aftertaste, being able to take deep breaths without coughing and no more wheezing after taking stairs. The benefits help me stay focused on the recovery journey.

Much strength to you… keep kicking this habits ass :muscle:

3024 days smoke free here. Best decision I made ever was to quit smoking. It totally changed my life. I found help and support with my fellow quitters at Quitnet, a smoking cessation forum that no longer exists. One of my friends and fellows from there died yesterday after a long valiantly fought battle with lung cancer.

We’re never 100% safe but by quitting we make our chances so much better not to suffer from a similar fate. Pam was such an optimistic cheerful upbeat positive lady. She’ll be missed terribly. Rest in peace old friend. Smoking kills. Please be quit and stay quit. Your life depends on it. :people_hugging: :heart: :broken_heart: :canada: :cry:

Hang tough love – i know our brains say “hey you quit before and you will again” what they don’t say is that HAH i’ll make it so much harder the next time - you may take years if not decades to get back to quitting. When thinking along these lines i realize that one is just not worth that risk.

We got your back love - vent with us - scream / should cry if you need to but do not light up.

Sending you strength :muscle:

I am so very sorry for your loss Mno. You are absolutely right - just because we quit doesn’t mean we are out of the danger zone but we are healing a bit everyday and getting further away from that doom.
My condolences friend :people_hugging: :heart: :cry:

Alan Carr’s Easy Way to Quit Smoking really helped me. He writes that the craving you are feeling is actually withdrawl from your last cigarette. The only way to step completely out of the cycle is to stay quit otherwise you start the cycle over. Its worth a read if you like reading.
Its tough in the moment but you can do hard things. Ride it out here with us.
