Congratulations on 11 days!! I picked up again. Yes, I had sropped for over 10 years and caved one day. Then the habit kicked back in and it so gross. I'm embarrassed and keep brusing my teeth. Gross. Keep up the positve momentum in that department no matter what else goes on. You'll feel so good about yourself.

congrats on the quitting, I quit in 1989 and it was the best thing I ever did for myself besides divorcing the lying turd I was married to. It gets easier, you get through the first 30 days, then 60 then 90 and before you know it, it has been a year and then you know you have beat it.

I used to say to myself when i saw people smoking "Ha, Ha, you are going to die and I am not", I know it is terrible, but it kept me going when I saw others smoking and started wanting a ciggy.

I like that phrase "nuttier than a squirrel turd", very funny.

BTW, doesn't mean that I still don't have triggers...it is easier now with no smoking in bars and restaurants.

Try a "butt jar". I took a bunch of butts and put them in a jar, then, when i wanted a cig, I opened the lid and took a big sniff....gross but cured the craving right away.

thamotivator, I just wanted to let you know that ten years ago I was pretty much in your situation. My career and marriage had imploded. I was being treated for severe depression; in 2000 I was hospitalized for depression following a suicide attempt.

It has taken me years to recover from these setbacks, and no, I am not completely recovered yet, but I continue to try. I know that you can recover your life, even though it might not seem that way now. I believe in you. You are a Marine, you never stop being a Marine, and that means you are tough. Tough times do not last but tough people do. A cliche, I know, but I wanted to share it with you just the same.

Way to go! I smoked as a teenager and quit before I turned 20. Glad I did. I still like to smoke a cigar now and again. Always regret it the next day though BLECH!

Enjoy those turds LOL :D
