Some quitters may have trouble with the never/ever part in NOPE  (Not One Puff Ever) or NTAP (Never Take Another Puff)

To tell you the truth,  in the nascence of my quit, I  bluffed my way through never/ever land.

I remember @Cristóbal and @El Bandito 

qualifying never/ever with the caveat,  'just for today',  and that was the truth too, it is about here and now.

As days and weeks passed I absorbed the truth about addiction.

Once I clearly understood addiction is forever  

and brain receptors immediately re-connect  to addiction after one puff,   

I embraced never/ever/forever.

If addiction was in my brain for the long haul, well, dammit, I was too...and I was going to Win !
