I will not smoke today ....NOPE !!!!!

NOPE!

5 days into my QUIT! I know I CAN!

Nope for me ya'll . Have a good day.

I'm in a tough spot here folks. My gifs don't work anymore and now I'm having difficulty posting memes as well. Perhaps I've become too dependent on gifs and memes in my posting. So now may be the time to make a clean break. However, I do worry that I may not be able to sufficiently communicate my know-it-all and smartass ways using only the written word. I found quitting smoking easier than expected. I'm worried that withdrawal from goofy internet stuff may prove more difficult.

-20!

Yes you can.. you did the last 5 days and will do it tommorow!!!! I dont know about you but somedays I have good days and then some days like today is rough as heck! But with this kind of support, it makes it so much worth it

OK so I know your 7 month anniversary isn't until Dec. 20th but we have another milestone to mark tomorrow as well and I want everyone's accomplishments to get the attention they so rightly deserve! Congrats Peace Train on 7 months smoke free. That's amazing. Just like The Little Engine That Could, you thought you could and now you're over the half way hump and rollin' toward that Lido Deck And, all the while helping out others who are trying to find their way too. That's something to be proud of!

35 days in a row

Massive Congrats on nailing Week One, Latoya!!! It's a rugged push and you aced it AND with much grace. Yes indeed, you really are doing this! It keeps getting better. Every milestone proves something to yourself, gives you more confidence and before you know it, you're not even trying. Yay you. BUY something cool to mark this day.

One day at a time is working! Each day is one more day of being able to say NOPE! Thanks Everyone! ?

Hell yeah! Sticks rule!

+4 Elementary arithmetic and linear progression...Will the Chicks even recognize what we're doing here?

If this song isn't in your Christmas music rotation...you really need to do something about that.

Hell yeah. Great job!

Spanking you while you sleep - how's that??

Hi, sorry to be off topic, but I smoked 2-3 packs a day minimum, and I never once turned my fingers yellow! As I say sorry a bit off topic but why did I not get yellow fingers !!! Day 11 now and still going strong

I will keep watching this. Thank you.

Awesome piece of writing, I have sometimes those voices that romantise cigarettes and I always use common sense to explain no I can't smoke one, it's junkie thinking and I'm not going to reply wit lighting up one. Even when I read the article I felt romance coming up. I just say NOPE I don't NEED a cig, I don't like a cig and it's awful. NOPE.

Perfect post. Perfect timing. :)

This is a wonderful post Chrysalis. I struggled like you did at certain times of my quit but when you hit that point where it becomes a vague, fleeting and easily dismissed thought THAT is a true "a-h-h-h-h-h-h" moment of satisfaction.

You are oh so right, EB! For the longest time I thought that I could no longer enjoy any "quiet moments" because I no longer could sit and smoke. It took me forever to realize that I could still enjoy my quiet moments-- I could still savor a victory or celebrate a job well done or get away from screaming kids for a few minutes-- WITHOUT A CIGARETTE!! It seems silly to say this, but I was so used to resting and smoking that I really thought that if I couldn't smoke, I couldn't rest. Period. My life had to be go...go...go! I know, I know, that sounds crazy to you successful quitters, but when I was new to my quit, I really believed that. Now, as you say, I understand that the cigarettes did not allow me to rest and/or reflect. I allowed myself to rest and/or reflect and Nicodemon was just co-opting that time to inject more poison into my body. Jeeze, isn't it amazing how nicotine scrambled our brains for so many years??!!
