JDK Smokefree Diary / General Thread

Thank you and yes, absolutely wonderful people here. One of the first things I said when I got here was that I had never asked for help or support in my previous quits & I wasn't all that comfortable with it (I'm from Western Canada, we don't much ask for help) but right away I felt so welcome & it's been incredibly helpful going through the old posts. Also, amazing that long-timers like Penitent, Phil & Butterfly Swimmer as well as others, hang around for newbies. I know I'm gushing more than any self-respecting Canadian should but this has just been so awesome for me. I want to come back & help newbies too, after I have a zillion days on my metre.

Sick A Lot

Sorry you're sick, Shakes. I have never had any actual sicknesses on any quit, but we're all different. Maybe you're tired & worn down from scrapping with your inner junkie & you need to get some major R&R. Bad sore throat can be serious though, maybe you should see a doctor or at least get some vitamin C. Hope you're better soon.

Did you quit in May?

There are lots of May quitters here, glad to have you all. Maybe I should have posted here instead of the general forum. Anyway, I'm trying to get a little support club going, like the MarchMellows & April Ash Kickers. Please go to the general forum if you're interested ( & I hope you all are ) & let us know your preference for a name. Good luck & good quit to all.

JDK Smokefree Diary / General Thread

Sorry,JDK, I got so excited for a chance to be witty, I didn't reply to the first part of your message. Excuse me please, thank you, so sorry. No one actually told me about the ship & the beach but I figured it out from reading the stats parade. 50 days still seems pretty far away, I'm working pretty hard on 10, which is why I'm still up at this hour. I will do it, I just can't look that far ahead yet. If you have ever quit before or if you have ever had a craving that you couldn't immediately feed, you can be of help to someone, regardless of your quit days. I think we're going to be friends, JDK!

Just noticed my saviings topped 1500 pounds today!

Hey, maybe you won't miss it so much if you think of it Canadian dollars instead of US. What is that, about $10?

May quitter jealous of the ash kickers

Looks like it's the Mayors of Quitville, the Mayflowers or No Maybe's. Can we vote on those? I'll keep track of the responses & we'll build a treehouse & paint the winning name on a big sign.

Taste of my own medicine

Inside, outside, up side down. It doesn't matter, smoking stinks. I have actually always thought it smells worse outside. Even when I was smoking, I hated walking behind someone who was smoking. I can smell it on people everywhere I go now & I also think, "oh gross, I used to smell like that! No wonder I couldn't get a date." :blush: Impressive quit you 've going, thanks for checking in!
