Nope!

NOPE

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

well, I haven't smoked in over 24 hours. course, I haven't done much except sleep, hydrate and whine. Have read some on this site. I have read and reread my reasons for quitting. I have tried to compose a pre SOS to myself. Arguing with myself steadily this morning. My conviction of "I do not smoke" doesn't ring true today. Why go through all the effort only to fail later at an inconsequential upset where I choose to pick up? On the up side. I have not smoked for over a day. I am not eating my way through cravings.

NOPE

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

nope not today

Long well worn road to get here, but finally I have arrived- I gave up nicotine once before, but somehow after many years she showed back up in my life. Its been a love/hate relationship, but finally I know i'm ready to be free of her once and for all. I know within a few hours memories of good times with her will creep into my thoughts but I am ready Challenge accepted Pray for me i'm headed into battle

G’day NOPE .....Not One Puff Ever.... (replace Ever with Min Hour Day as required!)

Flip Darcy, you are doing brilliant! Nobody ever forgets their first week, and that's why you are getting great advice here from the long term quitters. Hang in there...every morning when I get up, I always tell myself that I wont smoke today....it helps

Thanks....its been a very long week, but I promised myself this time around, eat healthy..walk everyday and not to feel sorry for myself...the exact opposite to the last quit....not forgetting to soak up everything I read on this site

NOPE!!

NOPE..... NOT ON MY Birthday....

NOPE - I don't smoke anymore

G’day NOPE .....Not One Puff Ever.... (replace Ever with Min Hour Day as required!)

Nope

Keeping on....

Kkeep up the awesome work @darcy. Things will get better and a smoke free life is worth the early struggles you may experience.

Congratulations on your quit, @darcy. The early days may be gruesome but, nothing you cannot handle. As you conquer each crave/trigger reward yourself with something, this could be a small purchase or even a thought that brings you joy...a bath, a walk...a nap. We are behind you, cheering wildly. We LOVE quitters.

Way to go Irene!!!!! YOU ARE DOING IT!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

NOPE

Nope and a Happy Birthday Catlover

Hey you awesome 2020 quitters, how's your quit going? And how are you 2019'ers doing with your quits?

Congratulations, @Irene on your First Week of Freedom ! Please remember to reward yourself and stay vigilant. YOU QUIT SMOKING !! WOO HOO !!!

NOPE...

Still here. smoke free almost 2 days. Yay! Will need to begin acting like a functioning human soon. The worst part, so far, is my choice to be miserable to my guy. As if he has anything to do with my f'ed up life choices. At any rate.... I will try to make tomorrow normalish in terms of scheduling and events. Again, thanks for the encouragement, advice and humour.

I just unpacked a delivery of NEW RAT TRAPS, a BIG BUCKET OF POISON and I AM VERY HAPPY. The people at my mail joint were laughing at the murderous dark side of my exuberance. Tra La La La La, A Ratting We Will Go

Hello and welcome ... You smoked again , because you still believed all the lies....and thought smoking would help you in some way . Smoking does nothing for you .... Take your seat on the Train ...buckle up....read all you can ...watch all Joel's videos.... Educate....Learn by what happened ,and make sure you are prepared for those times in the future ..

Welcome Acewhite, Congratulations on making the decision to quit smoking and put your addiction to sleep. The way to freedom lies in making the commitment to NOPE (Not One Puff Ever) and holding fast to that commitment. Etch it into your brain. The 'love' you may feel for nicotine is a lie. This is not 'love', it is simply a lie of addiction. Please educate yourself about nicotine addiction. This will help you on the journey. We have a plethora of resources here so, read, read, read and watch the scary movies. This thread may be helpful 10 Ways To Effectively Use This Forum To Stop Using Nicotine

Welcome Ace. I'm sorry about your relapse but you are among a lot of fellow quitters here who can offer up advice and support in your quest for a nicotine free life. It is good to have you here.

Hang in Darcy ....try and keep busy....keep your brain busy....Crosswords ,jig saws...anything .. Come and play the games here ....look at the funny animal thread ....keep busy...

That's because we are real sized lol. The negative head space is completely normal and is only temporary. Soon you'll start getting renewed self esteem and pride at being able to quit. Spew as much as you want here. We have a curse it thread in The Off the Record Forum that we've all used and it really helps getting that stuff off your chest https://www.quittrain.com/topic/835-can-we-have-a-curse-it-threadwith-warnings-as-sometimes-i-just-wanna-ffffffffffff/

Thanks for the support. You all seem kind, funny and real sized. I'm feeling in such a negative headspace, I don't want to spew all over the niceness here at QT. I am lurking about and reading lots. You all really do have great senses of humor and kindness and butt kickiness.

Great job, Irene!!!

Finishing last night's pizza starting at 8:30 am. Good though.

Congratulations @Irene That first week is the toughest. Keep up the great work

NOPE!

good post thanks...I ask myself the same question...why did I not quit sooner?

What a great post. stay focussed and determined.

Irene, it was the humor that pulled me into this site and then the next thing I knew, I quit. The people here became so important to me that I wanted to keep the journey going. Many of us that smoke do not have a lot of self esteem and feel we do not have the willpower. The members here know how to direct you to that power within. Hang around, we want so much to see you succeed. It really is much easier than you think!

I almost didn't join this site at all. I'm technologically illiterate and leery of anything that resembles "social media." Four years later and I check in here most everyday. This place has a way of growing on you. Grab a seat and stay awhile...It's a fun ride.

Many of us took our NOPE for the day only in the early parts of our quit. That's why we do it daily I'm glad to see you take the one year pledge too

Doing great Irene and you're almost done with hell week, yippee!!!

NOPE !!!

Enough E's now!

I was lurking on your big day....Congrats on the 5 yrs!

thanks all...means a lot

Aww my fav thread, here`s my little monsters, I mean hairy babies..

I think every Quitter asks themselves that question .... I believe it's knowledge....not truly understanding just how insidious this addiction is .... Once I joined up the dots ....and made a full hearted promise ...never to take another puff .....I quit ... After smoking for over 5 decades....and countless of pie in the sky quits .... Once I put my whole self in ...not halfhearted... I did it ....you have got to want it bad enough !!!!! Oh ya ...and trying to keep hold of my indangered feet ...helped too ....

40 laps around my villa with my little dog (she got tired) 15-20 step ups (to enable me to get up the stairs on the plane) Balance on each foot Tai Chi style 20 each foot (in case I fall over while I dance) Lifting dumb bells with both arms x 10 20 push ups on my kitchen cupboards 5 ankle rolls each foot (spelling NOPE each side) Dance to one track on spotify (chilled out ones) Feeling good and my dog is exhausted
