At the end of my Hell Week, I posted about the guilt of 1 million smokey kisses. It brings me much happiness that my kisses are now fresh & sweet. I no longer turn my head when my husband wants to kiss me. I can kiss my kids & grandkids completely guilt-free. If I see a good looking guy at the mall, I run up and steal a kiss! When they give me a weird look - I simply say "You're Welcome". Ok, I'm kidding about kissing strangers...... Enjoy those kisses nonsmokers......I know the recipients do!!! KTQ

I'm buying a book that teaches one how to make Kumihimo braided necklaces. I can learn a new craft that I've been wanting to try for a long time, and as a special bonus, I get to keep my hands busy.

Morning lovely Nopers. Hope we are all hail and hardy. So figured it was time to introduce the train to the beauty that is Fersdee Fun Facts... where when I post a share an odd little fact about somehting, usually Australia, but I'm not biased or anything... so as you nope today consider this... Platypus are poisonous, they contain enough venom in their barb to kill a large dog or small human... not so cute now are they.... NOPE Topic of the day: Songs or Artists from your youth (sorry for no topic yesterday, got lost in my own head and had to give myself a time out)

NOPE !!!..not today ..

NOPE from me today.

So my Great Grandma re-married after my G-Grandad passed. Gran Norm was a tea totaller and when my mum and her sibs would go there for the holidays he made them practice this little saying every day so that they had it memoriesed (as both my Grandparents were smokers).... My mum (who never smoked, Dad smoked from 10-24.. so not in my lifetime) who never smoked taught it to my kid.. which with her dyslexia is actually a huge achievement... it used to piss me off no end that she would sing it as I went out to have a smoke. But now its pretty apt.

Gday NOPE for me C

NOPE!

My reward for my first month quit was a pizza party for my family. We all love pizza and they had put up so much with my smoking over the years. With the reason for the pizza everybody, especially the grandchildren, had a great time, followed up with a family movie without me having to step outside several times during the showing. Cannot tell you how happy that made me.

G'day Its NOPE for me C

Good morning my fellow Nopers... and as we travel this day on the QT lets reflect on the fact that sometimes you catch the biggest fish with the smallest of bait... so on that note: NOPE, not today, not tomorrow, not ever, never again. Topic of the day: Disney Movies and their characters (don't have to be cartoons) (betcha 'someone' will post pics)

NOPE!

NOPE!!!

OK ... I admit it ........... I DID buy lipstick

And what a good excuse to kiss handsome strangers ?

Good morning. I pledge NOPE for today.

NOPE!

Keep on NOPEing....

NOPE

NOPE- no smoking and no playing with platypuses!

NOPE - I don't smoke anymore.

That is such a sweet post Beazel. Thanks for sharing. (and what a good argument against relapsing!)

NOPE

SOS's work, I used it a couple times early in my quit and people came running to help. Let us do what we do best which is help each other beat this nasty addiction. I didn't even put SOS in my titles but worded it in such a way that others knew I was struggling. The important thing is to post and let us help

Big congratulations Ras for reaching this very important milestone! You are through the hardest part now so be sure to treat yourself before you carry on and make your quit even stronger:)

NOPE

@WeegieWoman watch it or i'll set my zimmer frame on you And while we're at it where do you get off stealing Fluffy's B?

Clarosa, you are so brave to come to a social forum after feeling attacked somewhere similar. I, too, was a member of another forum before joining up here. I can tell you that I LOVED my previous group, but there were times that I felt criticized for my thoughts. Or huge on-line wars of words would be waged between members who maybe disagreed on the "best" and/or "worst" ways to quit. On that, I can share three thoughts: 1.) I have seen nothing but complete acceptance and total support by the wonderful members of this board. 2.) There ain't no such thing as a bad way to quit. 3.) These types of quit smoking forums are frequented by addicts like us who are usually in the throes of withdrawal or some other emotional side-effect of kicking the habit... so there's bound to be the occasional misunderstanding or harsh word. Try not to let it get to you. You sound like you really, really want this quit to be successful. Stay close to this forum, and I am confident you will win this one!

Welcome aboard Clarosa... As addicts there is no such thing as one ... Knowledge ...this is the way you fight the nico monster... Outsmart it.... Read ,read ,...watch the videos.... You can do it...you just have to want it ...bad enough... Stay close !!!!

Just a reminder, especially for Newbies. Use the SOS page please if you are feeling overwhelmed at some point in your quit. That's why it's there and there's always someone around to throw you a life-line It's not an imposition. On the contrary. It's an opportunity for one or more of us to lend you some timely support. It not only helps you but it will help the people lending support too. I review the celebration list every day and see people silently slipping away from us far too often, which is why I'm posting this message. Today alone I saw three people on my list who have not even logged on in over a month. Saddens me to think they have just silently slipped off the train without giving themselves and all of us a chance to save their quit. I hope they have kept their quit and just decided they no longer wanted to participate here but logic would suggest that's probably not the case. Remember too, there's even a "Pre Respond to You Own SOS" thread on the SOS page where you can write a meaningful note to yourself to be read by you in a moment of crisis. Check it out. Posting doesn't cost you anything but a little time and it might just be the most important post you ever make! I get it that some may just want to go back to smoking for whatever reason and they don't want to be "talked off the ledge" but just think about it for a moment. What if YOU had say a month or two quit going when some life event happens and suddenly you feel overwhelmed with a desire to go buy a pack and light one up but before you did that, you posted an SOS. A few people here post up and their words are enough to convince you it just isn't worth throwing away all that hard work you've already put in. Your quit is saved!!! Hey, it happens. It happens as long as you give us and even more importantly yourself a chance to take a step back and reconsider . Some of us are reluctant to call out for help when we're struggling because we think others may see it as a sign of weakness. Nothing could be further from the truth. It takes guts to reach out and it shows you are committed to this process. There's no weakness in doing that. Weakness is just giving up without even trying to save your quit. Please don't slip away without giving yourself a chance at letting others who care help you save your quit! I don't want to see YOUR name on my celebrations list and wonder; "What the heck happened to them?
