Greetings fellow Nopers. "Today is going to be whatever you make it, so if its sucky what are you doing to change it cos whinging wont help". And that was the conversation the kid just had with her dad when he was whinging... outta the mouths of babes. And without further ado.. Today I am going to make my day the best it can be because today I pledge NOPE. The topic of the day is "Lets Do Europe" ... so all things Europe.

Good morning. It's NOPE for me to start out the month.

Beginning the month on a positive note... NOPE!!!

Morning me lovely fellow nopers... and a very Happy Beltane. As you go about your business today remember its "Kiss Goodbye to MS" day where we ask you all to wear red lippy to work (yes sticks too) to raise awareness for MS. May is also international respect of chickens month and the Australian Domestic Violence Prevention Month. So May your May be good. So its a big NOPE foe me for today and the rest of May Topic of the day... Chick Singers and/or their songs for now.

NOPE!!! And yes great job on the 3 months Cat Lover, this is a big day of your quit. When I hit 3 months I felt I was gaining some good control.

I have confidence in my quit and estimate my chance of relapse is low still...addiction is a wily condition and I am human. Here are my four maneuvers to avert relapse, ( Think again, Get right with yourself, Contact an ally, Post an SOS ) and a slew of red flags... When you know better yet, are purposefully leading yourself astray ~ think again, get right with yourself, contact an ally, post an SOS ~ If you have tiny tempting smokey thoughts that you are nuturing by not dismissing immediately and aggressively ~ think again, get right with yourself, contact an ally, post an SOS ~ I won't get addicted this time ~ think again, get right with yourself, contact an ally, post an SOS ~ Whenever you start to 'romance smoking' ~ think again, get right with yourself, contact an ally, post an SOS ~ If you seriously entertain the idea that smoking looks attractive or makes you feel carefree and part of the fun ~ think again, get right with yourself, contact an ally, post an SOS ~ If you are having silly thoughts like, my smoking friends are having a great time and I'm missing out ~ think again, get right with yourself, contact an ally, post an SOS ~ If you really wonder, what it would it taste like now, ~ think again, get right with yourself, contact an ally, post an SOS ~ Will I still get that, 'ahhhh' feeling ? ~ think again, get right with yourself, contact an ally, post an SOS ~ When you start to think that you are 'different' and that you can handle just one. ~ think again, get right with yourself, contact an ally, post an SOS ~ Do you think you can quit again without much effort? ~ think again, get right with yourself, contact an ally, post an SOS ~ If you want to give yourself permission for just one, once in a while, just this once ~ think again, get right with yourself, contact an ally, post an SOS ~ If you feel too secure in your quit and start to act cocky ~ think again, get right with yourself, contact an ally, post an SOS ~ If you propose to test your quit ~ think again, get right with yourself, contact an ally, post an SOS ~ Are you starting to believe, you've been quit long enough to handle a puff or two? ~ think again, get right with yourself, contact an ally, post an SOS ~ If you know too much to get addicted again ~ think again, get right with yourself, contact an ally, post an SOS ~ Whever you are doubting your commitment to your quit ~ think again, get right with yourself, contact an ally, post an SOS ~ If you ignore the reality that smoking is a terrifying choice with significant consequences ~ think again, get right with yourself, contact an ally, post an SOS ~ If you are dismissive of the fact that you can Never Take Another Puff, Not One Puff Ever. ~ think again, get right with yourself, contact an ally, post an SOS ~ I forgot the major red flag, I am not an addict ! ~ think again, get right with yourself, contact an ally, post an SOS ~ I'm an adult and I'll do wtf I want ! ~ think again, get right with yourself, contact an ally, post an SOS ~ Have you more red flags to add ? Different manuevers ?

NOPE!!!

NOPE!!!

NOPE!

NOPE..

NOPE no way today.

^^^ can you believe if I force myself into some of my trousers I have had both at the same time..!!!????

Hey @John ... another one here who fell prey to the just one mentality.. my quit was over a year (by a fair bit) and unlike you I didn't do this again for over a decade. So you know you can do this because you've done it before. You can get back there and we're all here to help as needed.

Yeah a muffin top in yer pants is not a good look is it ??????

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-5677901/Shocking-video-shows-difference-healthy-lungs-smoker.html?ito=social-facebook Shocking video shows the difference between healthy organs and those of a pack-a-day smoker, so glad i made the choice to take my life back. Wish i had done it sooner... #NOPE

I'm just now seeing this ^^^^^whole conversation about your amethyst crown/imminent Queendom. It was a complete coincidence I found you an amethyst tiarra last night. I was looking for 'nine, purple' and who could resist a tiarra with 9 amethysts for your 9 month ? Funny about syncronicity. All Hail ! Happy Beltane, Queenly one.

i'm wearing red lipstick today for MS Awareness... MS is Multiple Sclerosis

Well done fluffy ive baked you a cake

An Amethyst Tiarra to celebrate your nine months, Wee Fluffy Me.

Oh yes slippy I can do Fife I'm packing me bags as we speak, not got much to pack as can't get ma bahookie into most of ma clothes, couldn't get ma shorts on today (well I could get them on, I just couldn't bring button and button hole together..!!) so had to cut the legs off me leggings, thank Gawd I was only pottering about the garden...haha ☺? oh and on a serious note some dirty B has broken into my house and has taken a shrink ray to all my knickers.. !!!!???????? When I am Queen I'll be off with their heads...?

John- I have lost three quits over a year in length before. I was young and dum. Now I is old and dum. You already proven yourself smarter than most the window lickers by not wasting years between quits like I did. Good job!
