Stay Active in August, it may just save your quit!

[TerrieQuit]

Hello Everyone,

I usually have Holidays to post about and catchy phrases. Well, I have racked my brains and checked my calendars, there are a few minor celebrations but nothing major. 

August is still a month where we can swim and be outside. Avoid the real hot and humid days as much as you can, but stay active (busy) as much as possible. It just may save your quit. Many of us complain about the weight we gain when we quit smoking. Staying busy not only can smash a crave but can help keep the weight off!

If any of you have a special day, holiday, event or celebration feel free to shout it out!

I want to thank each and every one of you for helping keep this group active and lifting each other up with your pledges. In July, we had 6 pages of pledges and an average of 9 pledges per day.

Commit/stay committed to your quit! Please join us in the Daily Pledge and keep you commitment strong.

Terrie

I Won't Quit on my Quit!

Taking your dog for a walk early in the morning or after the sun goes down is a great way to stay active.

Or swimming a few laps is a great activity. (Can't smoke when you are wet and great exercise)!

Never hurts to find a shady spot to get out of the heat!

Morning.

Victoria, thanks for your hand.     I"ll hold on as I pledge no smoking, no way, no how.       My other hand is out to the next in line.

I may not be on every day as we are moving and tech won't be out until 8/15 to set us up.   

Maybe I can sneak on at the library or Mc D's just to say Hi.

Lillian, Congratulations on 50 days! That is  wonderful landmark. Looks like maybe you forgot to hit page two and picked up Plug's post from yesterday. I still have a hard time remembering to go to the latest post. 

Sharon AND Lillian, thanks for your hands, I gratefully take them and pledge to not smoke today, no matter what. The extra support is greatly appreciated 😉

I offer a hand to the next person to pledge.

Have a beautiful Sunday, everyone.

Good evening everyone,
