A full week +1 down. You are doing great, Tash!

[TashLyn]

Hey Tash! Welcome to KTC. I am a former smoker too (love to say "former" smoker). I lost my sister early on in my quit. I nearly caved because "if ever I needed a cigarette." I grateful realized the stupidity of that statement in the nick of time.

You can do this! Just one day at a time.

If you want digits, please just pm me yours.

Thank you!!!

I've not figured out the PM part of this site yet, but I used to moderate a similar setup website, so I'm sure I can figure it out!

I'm glad I quit but still really WANT some smokes. Ugh. I'm not gonna tho! This coughing and allergy-like symptoms from smoking and really awful and I only wanna go thru this once!

Welcome Tash, you really can do this if you put your mind to it and follow the plan here. Get rid of all your secret stashes. It is hard, but there is something liberating about trashing your stash as well. No more will this wicked plant rule your life -- you are back in control.

Also, something that gets said around here a lot is 1 problem + nicotine = 2 problems. You have certainly had some rough stuff happen to you. However, nicotine can't fix any of those problems. Smoking a cigarette won't bring your dad or your friend back. It won't make your teenage son need you any more. As you mentioned, though, it WILL kill you. Nicotine's most evil trick is getting you to think that it is your friend. You can rely on nicotine even when everything around you is falling apart. It's b.s. Nicotine will take everything from you and feel no remorse as you lay in your hospital bed taking your last breaths.

You're better than that, Tash. You CAN do this. Post roll. Keep your promise. Repeat. You will be amazed at what life looks like without being dependent on a carcinogenic weed. Congrats on the first step, now let's put in some work.

Thank you! It is hard but there is 100% truth in everything you said. My favorite (and only) secret lover is The Marlboro Man, but I came clean about that. I am disappointed that I didnt trash my stash, I surely smoked that last cigarette as a eff you to the smoke, but honestly, that smoke had the last laugh. I did tell NickAld all my secrets for hiding and where I hide them! If I didnt tell, then I'd use them for a backup. So I told on myself!

Tash,

Sorry to hear about some of the stuff you've had to go through. But it got you here and the support on this site is amazing. I'm 16 days into the quit and I've leaned on fellow quitters hard.

Glad to have you in the group and if you ever need digits for support reach out on PM.

Thank you so much! That would be wonderful! I praying for success! All I gotta do is keep my promise every day!

Hi! I'm TashLyn. You can call me Tash.

I've met some of you before at the Quitters meeting in Missouri back in April, when my boyfriend, NickAld, brought me along. You guys didnt know it but I was 34 days cigarette free. As proud as I was of myself, it still had a hold, because I sat there with a "just in case" pack hidden in my conceal carry purse.

I did great at not smoking for awhile, but that pack was always hidden. Then I kept struggling with my Daddys death, while trying to help my Momma and my Grandma, and then a very close friend passed away way too young, and I had quit my job to be a stay at home Mom, but my teenaged son didnt need me as much. And life just sort of happened and got more stressful so I started sneaking cigarettes.

Then, I started getting sicker and sicker. In the last 3 months, I've been diagnosed with chronic bronchitis, asthma, fibromyalgia, colitis, and an electrical abnormality in my heart.

If I dont quit smoking - I WILL die. So here I am. I have my had a cigarette in 19 hours, I want one BAD, BUT I'm not going to. So hello ... day 1.

Tash.
You've made a great decision.
Head over to the October quit group, and post your promise.
Post your promise early every day, and keep your word.
The days will stack up.
There's a ton of support here, and a ton of accountability.
You can do this.

Congrats Tash, this is outstanding!! It was great having you at our house in April, and it's great having you on the boards as a quitter... you can do this, with support from many who have been right where you are. I'm mighty proud of you. Just make sure and bring the camping gear next year..

Thank you! It was a great visit! I cant wait to come to the next one!

I'm pretty sure that's what NickAld helped me do! Is it the same as the roll call? I'm still trying to figure this all out.
