This time it must stick!

Hi Ssot!

That is a GREAT name... it really sums up how we all felt at some point. I felt it for sure the day I put down my cigs.

Welcome to a wonderful place where you will meet great friends and supporters. We are all helping each other which is so cool. We also have some mods who lend support. This is a very caring environment. Like you, I had quit several times before but never for this long. You are wise to quit now while you are still young! Don't we all wish we had quit at your age!

Be sure to post, reward yourself and read lots of the back history here. There are some excellent posts back in the archives that are inspiring and helpful.

Miss Marple has 3 months smoke free!

My dear ms Marple,

I am so super proud of you!

Isn't three months the mark that a habit is gone?

You have done a great job, staying a quitter through some tough issues and through the holidays no less!

That is quite an achievement.

Your posts totally crack me up... you add to my day and to everyone else's around here.

Thank you for posting and keeping our spirits up! Makes a quit so much easier to have a laugh along the way (for me anyway)

Congrats on a great quit! Congrats on threeeeeeeeeeee months! Yea!!!

(Unless it's a leap year. Then don't read this until yesterday.)

big hug and high five!!!

Hi Moses and Nicole,

How is it going today??? Everybody ok?

Hang in there and post all you want... it's a great distraction from a crave.

I know that I was glued to this site... reading ..... for a couple of months. Set up my quit meter which was an unexpected motivator. I did not want to give up even one hard won day to the nicodemon!

Stay busy, stay here, post... just distract yourself long enough to make it through that crave!

So here we go again...

Hi KP,

Welcome to the best place to find support and information!

I can totally relate to your quit, I did the same thing. One day I just put away the cigarettes. That was it. Then I kind of freaked out. lol. What have I done?

However, I am not as brave as you... I used the patches (I was chicken). And look where I am now.. believe me... it was the last thing I ever expected but this is the longest I've ever quit (33years, pack a day habit). I found this site in the third week of my quit and that was it. I owe everything to the people here and the program. I knew I never had to go back to smoking. This is the way out.

Be sure to set up your program and work those rewards! You will be amazed at the difference it makes. Your brain used cigs as a reward so you have to cook up some new ones to trick your brain. Also , positive attitude... like you already have :) You are seeing the positive aspects of quitting... walking, breathing better. Stay focused on the good things and quitting will be soooooo much easier! The Alan Carr book is a great read along with the old posts on this site. There is not a single subject that has not been discussed about smoking.

We are a cheerful bunch who will be your quit buddies and helpers.. post a lot, stay focused and it will happen for you!! Trust me, my new friend, you don't want to be my age and smoking. All of us will say that and so will your dad.... it is a drag!

Good luck! We are all here in your cheering section!

Crave Control Mantra Suggestions

The saying that stuck in my head was something someone said here...

"I'm going to want a cigarette whether I'm a smoker or a nonsmoker. So I may as well be a nonsmoker "

At least if I was a nonsmoker the cravings would eventually taper down. If I remained a smoker, I would crave a cigarette every 30minutes or so and start all over again until the next one.

Not the best (kind of depressing really) but it got me through.

A sure way to lessen the smoking population...

Well, unfortunately, this logic has yet to stop me from driving through McDonalds drive thru.

Even though it wouldn't work for me (I'm impervious to all logic)... I think it's a great idea.

Say...what if cigs immediately put the wrinkles on your face that you now get 30years later???

Now that might have done it for me. You are talking to someone who had wrinkle cream at the

top of the Christmas list. How pathetic is that??? "Oh thank you honey, you got me the industrial strength!"

Angie, you are a doll. Don't worry about the swim suit this year. You are doing something that will make next years' suit even better looking as you will be pretty inside too!

Me? I'm opting for the bio-hazard suit.
