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

NOPE

Thank you for the kind reception. I know enough that I have to make this my priority at the moment. I have recently retired so the pressures of work are removed at least. I trust and believe in what you say that it gets better so I'm just trying to keep things in the day and adopt some patience I also know that one cigarette would send me right back into the addiction and I'm determined for that not to happen, for today at least

Welcome Mick. This is a great place for encouragement and support in quitting smoking. You definitely want to be around for every precious moment with your granddaughter. She will be blessed with all the memories you will make for her. One month smoke free is huge. The first month is the toughest. Keep moving forward and never look back. You can do this!

Hi..names Mick and I stopped smoking on 19 July with the help of a stop smoking counsellor and champix. I'm 66 and just been blessed with a granddaughter, hence the reason I want to stop, amongst many others! I'm not gonna say it's been easy but its helped me to find out about my enemy, nicotine, and how to deal with it and the lies and tricks it plays on me. I've joined this forum cos I think the support you give will also help me. Anyway, thanks for having me here and I look forward to meeting you all.

NOPE!!!!!!

Great attitude to have @Midmale. All you said is true - 1 day at a time. Focus on what is happening now and don't worry about later. You can deal with things as they come up and yes, patience is required. It's a marathon not a sprint but it IS doable with the right attitude and focus. You also have the only rule about quitting and staying quit nailed down ..... NOPE! Not One Puff Ever There's even a daily NOPE pledge page here where you can pledge NOPE to start your day if you like

Unconscious

NOPE...

Still crushing it

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

Yep I'm a refugee from over there....was pretty early in my quit at the time so I was wrapped to find the train and so much more at home here than ever was over there...remember when Boo pegged me as the crazy one. Oh here's one for the newer kids....remember when Mee grew her big, fat, hairy quit balls...so proud of our girl.

Welcome aboard Mick and congratulations on almost a month quit already, that's awesome You've come to the right place for support. We have a great group of members in all phases of quitting which was invaluable to me when I first quit. We also have a ton of educational threads and videos so be sure to have a look around at all our different forums. We even have a Social section to have some fun and help take your mind off smoking Congratulations on that grand baby, how great she'll never know you as a smoker

Get well soon Catlover. The doctor will see you now... I typically enjoy the sound of thunder. Not so much when it wakes my little girl up and scares the bejeezus out of her. The little gal really voiced her displeasure over that one.

I like "The Freedom Force" but I didn't cast a vote. I figured the 2020 quitters should choose their own name. I was going to campaign for 2016 to be remembered as "The Year of Boo" but that seemed a bit grandiose even for me.

Ya go to one frickin chemist to stock up..... Soz I'm late, an yep im here.

Welcome aboard Mick. Congratulations on almost 1 month smoke free. You are doing a great thing in quitting smoking. There is a lot of support and knowledge you can gain here so make yourself at home.

Yeah, there's not much joy in the early days other than the knowledge that you are doing paying the price in advance for a healthier lifetime of freedom! Keep that image in your mind because it's worth all the difficulties you are slogging through right now! It will get better - 1 day at a time for now Linda

Welcome aboard the Quit Train Mick. Congratulations on quitting smoking. Day by day, brick by brick...that's how you build a quit that is built to last.

It will, keep putting one foot in front the other....You'll get there

Aww Thanks Jo ....I like that ..they are my fav .... And everytime I see a koala ,I think of the time we shared

I quit this time using NRT....for me it worked. If I had a time machine and could go back and do it again id still use NRT. I think I had a very public rant thread about this topic and defending my use of NRT..but the thing is I would never have succeeded without the nrt or the support and friendship of the eclectic loons on this train...I had stuff to deal with beyond the physical addiction, I knew that about myself and as far as I am concerned NRT was a significant factor in my quit. I did go through a disillusioned stage where I felt my quit was somehow less than a cold turkey quit so I get what you are saying, but on the other side of the successful quit fence ... i don't give a fat rat's clacker how anyone quits as long as they do and they fight the nicodemon however their demon manifests and they keep their quit and find success....i want that for every quitter, success. When push comes to shove I dont give a shit if you race to the successful quit line in a suped up Bugatti Veyron or if you limp towards it in a clapped out combi just so long as ya take the journey and get there.

I know this is isn't really the place but confession: I'm not really a big Acca Dacca fan (yes, Straya where we like to shorten everything extends ACDC to Acca Dacca)...doesn't really have as much to do with the music as it does with the exes. But love this one, filmed in my home town... Yes.true fact we did name a street after them.

Confession: every time I see something with a koala on it I think of Doreen.

I was romancing the cigarette just the other day. Tossed my headset across the room and stomped outside from a virtual meeting with a bunch of baboons colleagues. A bright sunny day with a light breeze and leaves falling from black locust trees and I thought, "Wouldn't it be great to...put a hole in my head with a Makita drill?" I keep my mind on a leash.

First time I've wallpapered ,and painted......this spring to mind
