Greetings fellow NOPErs... today is one of those nothing fantastic days.... there are a few shout outs but none really make me want to give them a nod... so here goes... Video Game Day ... NOPE... but then again, video games are a great way to get through those early days of a quit when you need lots of distractions. Chocolate Milkshake Day .... NOPE.... not really into the milkshakes... don't mind a spider but milkshakes never really floated my boat... but then again, a nice yummy chocolate milkshake (with malt) could be a good reward for KTQ... just a nice little weekly nod. Quiet Day ... NOPE ... nothing to redeem this, I don't do quiet... QUIT day now that would be a goer... So if you want to celebrate one of those special days have at it, me I'm just gunna.... NOPE .... cos nothing tastes better than freedom.

Nope!

Gday NOPE again C

NOPE!

Gday NOPE starts my day C

NOPE!

I am 8 months also and agree with what Sslip states. At this point I am somewhat comfortable with my quit but not totally confident. I feel I have much to learn still with 44 years of smoking behind me so I know there are still hidden triggers that I have to on guard for. I waiting to get through the next month or so (big time of smoking "enjoyment" from this time of year, end of summer beginning of fall). I fully expect to make the turning point -- but taking it one day at a time and realizing how far I have come!!

NOPE

NOPE!

NOPE, never again

NOPE!!!!!!!!

#NOPE

Nope here too.

NOPE!

Praying, Praying, Praying. Anyone is welcome to hunker down with us in boring old Ohio (we do have the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame).

Thanks Everybody, I haven't been login in as much as I used too, but I'm still smoke free and now it seems like long ago those initial cravings. Thanks again!

Gday Yes I quit with Champix. Like others have said it's a tool you have to supply the motivation to remain quit. Not One Puff Ever is me. Im nearly 3 years into rest of life quit....I've gained so much and never miss trying to kill myself with smoking. C

Nope!

NOPE!!!!!!!!

NOPE

For myself it was over a year when i got drunk and had no urge to smoke, i was afraid of alcohol that it would trigger me wanting to smoke. I had quit in the past which i had mentioned but i was also avoiding certain triggers. After meeting the triggers head on and flat out saying NO which we do our pledge of NOPE on here i felt confident. To you and sslip, at times even now for myself certain things pop up and I just learned not to reach for them. Thats the difference for me, I'll go for a walk or work out and accepted i had that addict brain and you know what ... Having an addict brain is OK. We're all human and are born to make mistakes.. @Sslip

Be safe everyone that is in its path

Some idiot is out walking a cat, on a leash, in the rain. Coffee in one hand, slippers and the dumbest part- smoking. My job is like living in Wally World.

Man...I knoe THAT feeling??

I don't want to sound cocky but I,too, knew the minute I put out my last cigarette. Then, again, around the 4 month mark, I told jillar that I'd see her on the lido deck?

Nope!

Although I was firm in my commitment to myself never to smoke again right from the first, I think it was about 6 to 7 months in before I really knew I had turned the corner on this addiction and that I had faced pretty much every battle it could through at me. From that point forward I was somehow just more confident that I wouldn't waver in my commitment to quitting.

NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOPE!

Nope!

I agree....get as far away as you can...I carnt imagine having to cope with this...sending prayers....

That's a NOPE @c9jane29 .... that's a hard nope.... stuff the karma and kill the freak.... eeewwwwww.

So I kind of knew the day I played a game on the over there where you had to list famous people and I was stuck in a battle with another newbie (I was about 6 weeks in) using the initials AA... 3 things happened that day, 1. I realised I was about to invent famous people with the intials AA to make sure I won, 2. There was no way I was giving up my quit if the other person didn't give up theirs first the annoying pain in my backside, I mean who did they think they were .... LOL they know who they are and that they went on to become a great friend and not a mortal enemy to be beaten in every game.... so the seeds of a great friendship were sewn and.... 3. I think I can do this became a reality. (although until about the 3.5 month it was still, well shit their still here, can't quit today.... yes I am that mental). [ No wait, because I know you will read this and I know you will know who you are... if you toss your quit I will probably just go ahead and toss mine too so now you can't toss yours because it's two quits you are responsible for .... joke joyce.... I know I am the only one responsible for my quit and I have my grown up hat on now so don't stress, you are officially off the hook] Then about 5 months I started to realise I felt completely different about this quit than my big one... every little event that happened the last time I had a substantial quit I looked at it and said, hmmm is that a good reason to have a smoke... and I hadn't done that with this quit, not once, not at all.... I wasn't thinking about smoking all the time... mentally this quit was different.... But just after my 6 month anni when I put in my Lido Deck catering order with Reci it kinda became a done deal... doesn't mean I haven't had bad days, or close calls since because we all know I have... but the reality is I don't see myself ever smoking again and unlike last time I don't want to, I LIKE THE FREEDOM. I know one puff is it for me... that's all it will take... so NOPE NOPE NOPE... there is still a niggle of self doubt, but I think that will always be there even in 20 years because I know I do stupid shit, and I know i'm only 1 puff away.... so I need to have that little negative voice of doubt to keep me on the straight and narrow.

Yes, I quit using Chantix. It took the edge off the cravings, but I still had to do the work. You have to decide that there are absolutely no circumstances in which it is okay to smoke. Regardless of how you quit, you are going to be uncomfortable, even miserable on occasion. Scream, cry, rant, rave, run, dance, sing....anything but smoke. And you must remember there is no such thing as "one puff, or one cigarette." Thi s quit needs to become the most important thing in your life. Quit making excuses for yourself, asking how many times other people tried, and commit to your own quit!!

Nope. Will never forget coming home from driving bus at 9:00 in the morning. Turning on the news and watching it unfold. I woke my son and we watched the towers fall together. At first disbelief, then the reality of it all. That somber feeling will never go away.

NOPE!

NOPE!!
