Congratulations @Martian5 for being smoke free for one whole year! Well done and welcome to the old phartes club. It has been so wonderful to share your journey with you and we are so lucky to have you here on the train. Right from the get go you have paid it forward to those who were January quitters with you and for those who not only came behind but also those ahead. You were in all our corners cheering us on so the queue is going to be pretty big to say thank you, pat you on the back and yell woohoo, well done. Oh and pretty sure we all wanna know... how are you going to celebrate and just what are you doing to do with all that wonderful quit money??? So that gangs all here and its time to party... but please, no earth shattering Ka-Boom.

G’day well it that time of the day, time to think about smoking.... NOPE  thats it, all done, till tomorrow morning C

^^^^^^^Well yeah taking advantage of what the Lido deck has to offer with out a care. I have done dood this and am so happy and grateful. Actually I feel that I could not have done this with out you all. Coming to the site to read and post to others helped me keep my focus and to educate myself and see the experiences of everyone -- this helped me see that this could be done. So thank you all for the support and the kind words above from you all has touched me truly. As to what I am going to do today is take my Son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren out for great meal without worry of the price. As to the money saved I am leaning to a vacation to the Washington wine country and Casino -- just to splurge and have fun -- then with the leftover something for the house. Again -- thank you all for the support -- it really helped!!!!!!!!

NOPE!!

Well we don't have to wait to tomorrow to start celebrating!

Hard to believe it's already 1 year since you quit and joined us here M5! Your dedication to the NOPE thread is legendary and it really did the trick for you, giving you that daily focus needed in the early days to make it through to the next. All the while helping others along too - now that's classy Enjoy your day to the max because it only comes once. Huge congratulations to you Matian5 as you climb onto the Lido Deck. We even built a special flying Lido Deck for this occasion because of course, you're an extraterrestrial right?

NOPE - I don't smoke anymore!

Hi Jaime, I am new here too, also 39. I have most of the same feelings as you do. I am sure from reading everyone else's posts that you understand you're not alone. Reading up on quitting has helped me beyond words, maybe give that a try.

Waqy to go, Martian 5!!One year is a huge accomplishment!!

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

Welcome aboard Jamie and congrats on the 3 day quit. All above have covered your concerns and ways to deal with them. There are changes that will come but those changes in the long run will be much better for you --- focus not on what you are but what you will be by keeping the quit. Deep breathing techniques are a huge help as is drinking cold water (or juice). This can be done one day at time that is the focus to keep!!!!

Great job Martian. Congratulations on reaching the lido deck. You committed and have been rock-solid with the process from day one.

Congratulations on this super special day M5. I hope you celebrate in a way that suits you, doing something you like. One whole year, whaaaahhh!! Yay yahippie! To me, youve been of the trustworthy, steady factors here on the board. Thanks a lot for that, do you realise your value to others? Better be aware of it and take the credit you earn!

Congratulations Martian5 on your first YEAR of Freedom. It has been a pleasure watching you build a powerful quit. The TARDIS is standing by, natch.

Welcome Jaime and Congratulations on quitting smoking. Read till your eyes bleed about nicotine addiction, this is a big tool in your arsenal to succeed. The Sarge is so right ! I always had a cheroot in my mouth, for 40 something years ! Now, I am a Free person and what's not to love about that ? You might find this post helpful, from our friend, Joel. My Cigarette, My Friend

G’day Wow I used to tell myself that I LOVED smoking as well. But at the same time over that 40 years that I smoked i was always giving up, not smoking for a time and going back. I think back it was a bit of self protection for my failures. Well now there is no love of smoking I’m free to hate the habit and do. You are just getting the idea of what freedom actually feels like. Trust me, it’s better than you could ever imagine.... Keep walking away and never look back. chris

> > Will I still be me? > Plot Twist: You were never really you under the influence of the addiction. Once you come out on the other side, you will now and forever be free to be you. EZPZ

Nope!

NOPE Happy Friday, everybody!

Nope, Not now not ever.

Congratulations @RoryPlog for being 1 year smoke free. Well done RoryPlog for sticking it out and being smoke free for a whole year. Think how far you have come this year and all the life and music you have been able to re-discover. Hope the health is improving and you are doing something super special to spoil yourself today. Final mate, its time for your ship to come in.

Hi all, my name is Jill & I want to thank you for this wonderful site/forum! I have been snooping around here and have learned a lot. I quit smoking on December 27 at 2pm, just because my doctor had prescribed the patch and I figured, "what better time than now?" I put out my last smoke and put on a nicotine patch. I never ever in my life expected to be able to get this far! I am beyond proud of myself and although I am taking it day by day, I just can't imagine smoking another cigarette and wrecking all of this hard work I've put in. I smoked since I was 13, and will be 40 this May. That is the majority of my life. And I LOVED smoking, please let me tell you I really did. So this is a huge life changing event for me, and I am excited & scared at the same time. Thanks to you all for being here - this place is truly great and helpful.

Well done on your first smoke free year! We saved a seat for you at the front of the train.

Yay Martian, congratulations on one year quit! It's been a pleasure watching your journey and all the support you've given to your fellow quitters. Thank you for that and I hope you stick around for many years to come. Havens great day and I hope you do something extra special today. I heard Jack's serving shots up in Maine so there's one idea he, hee

After 365 days of saying NOPE and saw that it helped --- I will definitely say NOPE today !!!!!!!!!!!!! This is for Friday the 4th, today here it is still the 3rd -- gotta love the dateline.
