definitely NOPE!

G’day NOPE cause it’s friday

NOPE !!!!

I'm really feeling glad and happy I've managed to achieve 120 hours of smoking and nicotine replacement therapy cessation. I've been drinking water, Sainsbury's diet Cola and walking round the block and back to distract my mind from my craves. I'm going to my Christian religion meeting tonight to pray, sing kingdom songs and receive holy spirit. That strengthens me.

NOPE Happy Friday everybody 😎

NOPE...

NOPE

N O P E

Nope!

I was desperate.... It was mind boggling and I didn't have any answers!! It seemed as though everyone else around me knew how to but I didn't!!!! Oh how frustrating I felt, how is it possible for them and not ME!!! I did it exactly the way they said to do it. Nothing. I'm stronger than that person, I know it should have worked!!( I said to myself) She's not really trying hard and its working for her! What's the deal? Why not me? Well.....until I went WAY DOWN inside of me and made a FIRM, NO TURNING BACK DECISION to NEVER TAKE ANOTHER PUFF!!! Did it begin to work!!! I couldn't believe it! IT WAS WORKING FOR ME!!!!!! Day after day, it was working. Don't get me wrong...some days I had to fight like HECK!! But It is so worth the fight!!! Just a few lines to encourage those coming through the ranks to not give up on yourself!!!! YOU can make this journey If you only believe !!!!

My thinking was like yours @QueenB. I just could not quit. I even became resolved to the fact that I would die of a smoking related illness. Is that sad? I was resolved to the fact I was killing myself! I tried everything to quit and was never successful. I accidentally came across this forum and found a whole cheering section. These people let me know that I had the power to do it. I feel as if they took my hands and guided me to the finish line. If you are lurking on the forum, know that we are here to help you find success. You can quit.

NOPE !!!!!! NOT TODAY !!!!!!!!!!!

The higher the price the sweeter the prize. When the price is paid in agony & doubt the payoff becomes a treasure. You do not quit. You change...habits, perspectives, values. "Change is painful, but nothing is as painful as being stuck somewhere you don't belong." - Mandy Hale "Change is never painful. Only the resistance to change is painful" - Siddhartha Gautama <== I like this quote but I've not evolved far enough to walk that way.

7 lol will let you off sticks ,cos it's the lovely Jimmy....

Good Job Comrade! Julie should be the 25th and Stu the 27th.

Saturday starts the year of the rat! Here's what Wikipedia had to say: The Jade Emperor and the race for zodiacal place[edit] A popular modern story has it that the order of the animals in the twelve-year cycle was due to a competition between animal candidates, held by the ruler of Heaven, Earth, and Hell -- the Jade Emperor. According to one version of this tale, the emperor's advisors selected twelve candidates from among the animal types, including the rat and the cat. The winner was to be selected based upon merit, as to personal appearance, lifestyle, and contributions to the world. Before the competition, the cat asked the rat for a wake up call in order to get to the show on time; however, the rat apprehensive of the competition, especially as to the cat's apparent beauty, did not wake the cat, who then overslept (and, ever afterwards, the embittered cat became a ratter and a mouser). The Jade Emperor mystified as to why there were only eleven candidate animals to show up inquired of his servants. These servants hastily acquired the first possible replacement animal which they encountered, (a pig). After the start of the competition, the rat achieved first place by performing on the flute while upon the back of the ox. Impressed, the Jade Emperor placed the rat at the beginning of the twelve year cycle (and the ox second, for being so generous as to allow the rat to play the flute upon the ox's back). Then the other animals were placed in order according to the Jade Emperor's judgment. You and Wee fluffy are clearly in league with the cats.

Great post Q..... As long as you stick to NOPE ....it will work for anyone .... Take Smoking Off The Table ...my junkie's brain understood ...never take another puff no matter what ... Good for you ....

Hey comrade. Good to see you. Saw Julie last March in crisis "Can't Believe I''m Here". Bandito showed up for that and had a NOPE on XMas eve. Congratulations on your Five Years of Freedom ! Hope you and A are doing well. Stop by more often if you can, you have an important voice. S

Congratulations on your 120 hours of Freedom ! Stay focused. You are winning, you have won !

I've still got a purple twenty pound note and a beige ten pound note left in my bedside cabinet drawer.

Saz, feelin your pain doll, mine are back again 😳 had to lock the buns up and rat proof their runs.. Thankfully they have set up home in the shed/garden of the neighbour that started all this so I am not at war with them just maintaining the barricades 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Thank you Jo for all the updates ..very sad more firefighters have perished ,my prayers to thier families .. We haven't had any more news on these fires lately ... Well Harry and Megan are more important....just now ....

Okay you Aussies this is creepy. thought you would be interested in this story I found on MSN: http://a.msn.com/01/en-us/BBZdwk5?ocid=se2

Don't be too hasty ...we need to try it for size ...

I have no selfies. I am swimming and walking 2 mi 3/4 days a week. Losing the 30lbs @bakon added to my last photo. Getting strong, feeling well. Painting. Sewing. Writing. Fighting Rats in my courtyard. Listening to a lot of great tunes and making various playlists on a streaming site. Cooking really well and looking forward to visit from Daughter/Spouse/Father-In-Law and also Jazz Fest guests for whom I will make my Legendary Gumbo and have the sit down feast for 12. V. inspired by all my darling smoke free creatures here. Wishing I could help my two smoking friends in real life, they struggle so. Cold Turkey on A Whim Quit Six Years and Three Months The Best Decision I Ever Made Oh ! Quit Caffeine over a year ago and kind of accidentally, starting my third month alcohol free, thinking of staying sober for a year as a challenge and see how I like it. Quitting smoking has made it easier to honestly examine my life and be willing and able to change patterns that no longer serve me.

- abbynormal - 384 days quit - We got a new truck, so like, that's pretty cool. It'll be the first vehicle we own that I won't smoke in ever! - I don't do selfies, but this pretty much sums it up:
