Good day, my name is John Baker and I Quit on 2nd January 2020 and am resident in the United Kingdom in South West London. I have a full diagnosis of Asperger's syndrome and adult ADHD. I have a very complicated addiction to nicotine and use Nicorette Quickmist mouth sprays. My GP is going to look into a specialist nicotine abuse rehab for me because I really want to be shot of this addiction. I used to be an online member of http://www.quitnet.meyouhealth.com until it closed down off the internet. I discovered www.quittrain.com on Google.

NOPE!

Good to hear all is ok ,after the extreme weather ... My Mr Lumberjack....!!!!!!

NOPE - Not One Puff Ever

G’day Smoking sucks! .... big time

yeah-nah...it's a NOPE.

Hi John and welcome. I'm an ADHD adult and when I went nicotine free I was a bit out there for a while but it settled down with time. Not gunna guild the lily there were days when I was so all over the place it even annoyed me, but I can honestly say noone here excluded me or ridiculed me for being quirky. I'm pretty sure at times I was too much for some but they just switched off and ignored my crazy. Use being an Aspie to help your quit, routine and habit are part of ASD so create new routines around your quit...start with the daily NOPE thread....Not One Puff Ever....where ever can mean just for today.. don't get mired down on the word ever.

Congratulations on 11 days quit John

Thank you Doreen. Today I can breathe , I am not on the verge of Suffocation anymore and grasping for air. this nicotine addiction is cunning baffling and Powerful . I used to be so hyperactive when I smoked. And now there is a sense of calmness that's come over me, I guess that's my body healing itself. We just got a big dump of snow here yesterday in Vancouver BC , and it is cold I was watching people puffing away yesterday on cigarettes. it didn't bother me but I did keep my distance , it helps with my quit more than anything else . The bus was coming and I could see him sucking that cigarette right down to the filter. I remember those days and it wasn't that long ago . What a trip what a journey . now I gracefully accept the lessons I Learn and the Council of my days . I feel so fortunate Thanks for listening have a wonderful day . Joe

Nope

Welcome to QuitTrian @BeautifulAspie1970 and congratulations on quitting smoking. Quitting can be tough but with the right mindset, knowledge, and support, it is definitely doable and life as a nonsmoker is definitely worth whatever early struggles you may have early on. There is plenty of knowledge and support you can get here. Read up on nicotine addiction posts here and reach out whenever you need support. It is great to have you here.

The mental fog passes, it always does. What follows is a greater clarity than you ever experienced as a smoker. The challenges of quitting are temporary. The rewards of quitting are permanent.

that was a good video and that foghorn sure is Erie. I think what got me going this morning, was that cigarette that I found in the bathroom drawer . I looked at it put it in my mouth started puffing on it but it wasn't lit I looked at myself in the mirror then pull it out of my mouth and threw it in the bathroom toilet . talk about trying to set myself up for disappointment. That's the truth . And I feel better now . Thanks

Just spent 35 minutes watching the first part of a video that was recommended for me by YouTube. A vegan and an advocate of the paleo diet were debating one another. Well, actually, they were nitpicking over semantics and treating cherry-picked findings by nutritional "scientists" like some kind of holy writ. Might as well have spent that time stacking ping-pong balls or trying to nail Jell-O to the wall. Abject waste of everybody's time.

NOPE

G’day Good on ya!

Quitting Smoking Can Make You Calmer, Happier and Healthier Watching Others Smoke I remember being pretty frantic about smoking and puffing away quite furiously as if I could never get enough. It is so great to leave all that behind and feel calm. It is also a trip to be able to pay close attention to any task at hand or the world around me without having addiction as the ultimate distraction.

Remember to reward yourself for every crave and trigger conquered. The Significance of Rewards

Oh !!!!....the crazy things we did as smokers ...trying to light up in a gale force wind ...the smoke blowing right in the eye ..so it's stings ,that you carnt see .... I'm so grateful those days are gone ...

Keep up the great work @BeautifulAspie1970

Welcome aboard John and congratulations on deciding to quit smoking. A lot of our members have found that quitting helps their conditions once the initial nicotine is out of their bodies and they have a few months quit under their belts. Hopefully the same will be true for you

While I am checking on more resources for you, this thread will help you find your way around here, John. Great to have you with us. 10 Ways To Effectively Use This Forum To Stop Smoking/Using Nicotine

NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE

Welcome to the forum and Congratulations on your quit, John. Your life may be challenging, John, but, you can build yourself a successful quit. Stick with Not One Puff Ever. NOPE. I have just read a clinical trial on Nicotine Behavior in Adult ADHD and can see how your nicotine addiction is complicated. "Alleviating the symptoms of ADHD and increasing cardiovascular activity through smoking may mimic the effects of stimulant medications and can be a form of self medication." I did find some success stories about quitting smoking and nicotine in this Asperger's and Autism Forum So, do not loose heart or conviction, you are on the path. This link and the resources included may be of help to you. Resources regarding stop smoking aids.

Well done Joe for flushing that cancer stick .... Turn your negative thoughts into positive thoughts .... Yipee I'm a fabulous non smoker who is not killing myself slowly any more .... No good ever comes with smoking ....it catches up with all smokers eventually.....

Breathing a sigh of relief. The high winds and torrential downpours have passed. With the exception of a few downed tree limbs, we didn't experience any damage here at the house. A little bit of flash flooding in low-lying areas of the county, but the water levels are ceding quickly. I guess I'm entertained by weird things, but I'm kinda looking forward to firing up the chainsaw tomorrow morning.

"NOPE"

Here is some perspective for you, upside down Joe. Life As A Smoker Is A Balancing Act Stay focused and committed, the folks above and I tell you, 'It gets better' and we don't lie. You may be experiencing The Great Smoke Free Brain Fog

Addiction is all about us, you and me. There is no such creature as a 'nico demon'. Our own face is the face of addiction and our own voice is the voice of the addict. There is no demon lurking around about to pounce on us and make us fail ourselves, fail our quit. It is our own selves. We must take full responsibility for being the addicts that we are and remain vigilant throughout our lives to keep our addiction asleep.
