Here we are moving in to month 3....I actually can't believe it, I have been a member here since 2008 on and off... (More off than on if I'm honest) and I have never ever posted in this room or got this far...... My best achievement was 51 days.... Today I am at day 60!! woooooo hoooooooooo:D:D
I know 60 days might not seem a lot to some but to me it is the unthinkable and I am really proud of myself because it's been hard going and several quit attempts to get here...anxiety and depression always kicks in at the 8 week mark and in the past I've just let my quits go..... I have nearly give in a few times this past week but something in me just won't do it....this week has been the hardest for me but I am hoping in 3 days when I get to 9 weeks psychologically things will fall into place.....I want to prove to myself I can do this and STAY quit.
I wouldn't have ever come through this without good people on here, notably, Deb, JohnJ, Lindy, Mina, tangled, Isolde, unag, haze and of course the freedom fighters!! (And others too :))I am actually so grateful to you all, I would have caved for sure without you.....even Max's harsh but wise words early on helped inadvertently
I'm sure there are others like me who pretty much sail through the first 6 weeks and then hit a brick wall, well with determinination AND stubbornness it can be done ;)my next goal is 3 months, now that really would be something.....
It's Monday? Ah so what.... Today, is a good day :) xxxx

To be honest it's no real surprise to see you in the 3 month room, you have got success written all over this quit. See you in the penthouse for sure.
John honest to god I am amazed I have broken that barrier.....it's getting tougher but I have to think back to the early days when I was so enthusiastic I need to feel like that again x
Congratulation Donna!! What an amazing achievement you should be soooooo proud of yourself!!! Keep quitting you can do it! Accept nothing for yourself than a smoke free life xxx
Lovely post Donna - MEGA achievement, so pleased for you.
This is your time girl, hold on to that feel good factor and keep on quitting
Thanks mate your kind words have kept me going cos I know I am not alone in this difficult time xxxx
Congratulations Donna really pleased for you :cool: xx
Thanks TG, your steaming ahead too this is brilliant! xx
As time goes on with a quit the enthusiastic thoughts gradually get replaced with just routine determination thoughts. May seem like an anti climax but actually it's a good sign that your thoughts about smoking are fading. I go for days on end now without thinking about smoking at all and you will too soon.
Cheers John, I never thought of it like that, I guess it's just becoming the norm now not to smoke, maybe that's why I am getting bored lol x
Just delighted for you - bashing that personal trigger out of the way. You can do this and more importantly YOU ARE DOING THIS!!!
Be very very proud of yourself - maybe a treat is in order? 💅🍰🍸💝
Congratulations hun - just keep swimming 🐠
Xx

Congratulation Donna!! What an amazing achievement you should be soooooo proud of yourself!!! Keep quitting you can do it! Accept nothing for yourself than a smoke free life xxx
Ah cheers Val ;), hope your ok now? I know you had a bit of a wobble last week but you came through it which is so good, I hope all is going well for you now xx
Nice one Donna so pleased for you, great you got through that awful 8 week barrier.
This month will fly by especially as you'll be smoke free for no smoking day.
Thanks Sue, I know from your recent posts you have been questioning things a bit aswell, like how long does it take to feel "normal" lol.... I still feel like 3/4s of me, there's still a bit missing whee smoking used to be but it's just readapting my mind, I'm sure we will both get to that penthouse with the rest of the freedom fighters and have one fat off partaaaaay xxx
