Lets get this show on the road!

Hey NoRiskNoGain,

It's good to hear that you are having a fairly easy go at this. Must be that great attitude you have! The sleepless nights will get better as time goes by, and then one day all of a sudden, you'll realize what a good nights sleep is all about.

I can't believe how much better my sleep is since I quit smoking.

It's also good the hear the cravings seem to be less each day, but keep your guard up. That old NicoDemon will try his best to catch you off guard.

Are you rewarding yourself for the great accomplishments you have made in your journey?

You're doing a great job, keep it up buddy and stay strong.

N.O.P.E.!

Stay safe & Strong.

7 Years Smoke Free!

Hi Jan,

Seven years and going strong! What a great quit you have going. It's nice to hear success stories from fellow quitters, it gives new quitters something to strive for. It also gives HOPE to those thinking of quitting. It can be done if you really try and put honest effort into it..

Congratulations on your accomplishment Jan and keep it going.

N.O.P.E.

Stay safe & Strong.

today is my quit day

Hey Kareng,

Sadness is one of the many emotions you are going to have to learn to deal with during your quit. It's normal to feel sad, mad, lonely, and many others. It's okay too. You're going through some major changes in your life now that you've given up your cigarettes. It should get better as time goes by.

Stay strong and remember, N.O.P.E.!

Stay safe & Strong.

Quiting for GOOD

Hey Nicdewall,

Three months without smoking is awesome! I hope you are rewarding yourself for your accomplishments.

You need to get your meter running on here so we can keep track of and congratulate you on your milestones. It sounds like the benefits of quitting surprises you. Wait until springtime when the flowers start blooming. Your nose is going to love all the different aromas that will be in the air.

Good luck with your father, but don't get your hopes up too high. You cant't make someone quit if they themselves do not have the mindset to do so. It never hurts to keep trying though.

Stay strong my friend.

N.O.P.E.

Stay safe & Strong.

New milestone

I hit a new milestone today. I hit the 10,000 cigarettes not smoked milestone. It's not a big milestone, but it does make me feel good about quitting. And since quitting, I've gained 83 more days of life to enjoy too.

I really wish that I would have quit many years ago, and I hope that today, someone else will work up the courage to start their quit!

N.O.P.E.!

Stay safe & Strong.

Cravings increasing over time?

Hi Tirtzah,

I bumped up an old thread in the coping with cravings forum. It might have an answer you are looking for. If not, do a search for cravings and hopefully something will pop up you could use. I really don't have an answer for you on this issue. Whatever you do, don't give in to the cravings. Take a walk, go shopping, take a nap, do whatever it takes just don't give in. I know you are stronger than the urge, at least I hope you are. If you can go for 3 months, you can do this forever. Be stronger than the craving my friend and take back control of YOUR life.

Stay strong and remember, N.O.P.E.!

Stay safe & Strong.

Wanting to quit

Hi Indi,

Welcome to the SSC. It's okay to fail, just don't quit trying otherwise you have failed. It takes most people a number of attempts before they can actually quit. How long have been wanting to quit? How many times have you tried to quit? How long was your longest quit? Do you know why you started smoking again? What's your motivation for quitting?

I'd suggest that you continue with the program at the top of the page. You have step one done already. There will be help and tips in each step that will help prepare you for your quit. Read through the forums and try to learn all you can about what to expect so you can prepare for it when you start your quit again. You might want to consider NRT too. Nicotine Replacement Therapy helped me in my quit. I'm not sure if I could have quit without it. It took care of the physical part and let me worry about the mental part which, in my opinion, is the hardest part.

It does take a lot of willpower as you've said, and I'm glad that you have admitted to yourself that you are addicted. Nicotine is a terrible drug that is VERY addicting. That's a step in the right direction!

I wish you the best in your journey.

Stay safe & Strong.

Today

Hey Penguin,

Welcome to the SSC. How's the not smoking going? Any slip ups today? It's okay if you stumble and trip up. We're not here to put you down for your slip ups, we're here to help pick you up and point you in the right direction for your quit.

A little moral support goes a long way.

Sometimes friends and family can be really rude, especially when they do not really understand all of the facts. It's hard to quit smoking and they just do not get it.

You're right too about taking it one day at a time. Sometimes you even have to take it one hour or even one minute at a time. Just do whatever it takes to NOT have a smoke. Make sure you reward yourself for your accomplishments too. You have to celebrate your great efforts.

Stay strong and keep your guard up at all times. The triggers are everywhere.

N.O.P.E.

Stay safe & Strong.
