NOPE - Not One Puff Ever Smoking sucks!

Addiction demands a great deal of attention. This is true when you're feeding the addiction. This is also true when you're leaving the addiction behind. The obsessive thoughts encountered during the early days of a quit wane and eventually vanish. The obsessive thoughts smokers have about getting their next fix are a ball and chain that you will drag around the rest of your life. Quitting offers a return on investment. Smoking just keeps you on the same old self-destructive cycle you already know. Relentless forward progress. You reach the goal by consistently moving towards your goal. No backtracking. No U-Turns. You keep moving forward; it's the only way.

Jeff keep hanging in there one day at a time. I understand what you are feeling It is a constant battles that does wear you down. But don't give up !!!!

I agree with what Jill said. Things do get better with time. I was a "serial quitter" or stopper too. The quit/relapse cycle sucks and it seems clear that you want to quit as you keep trying. If you keep the quit, you will not have to go through these early days again. The best thing for you to do from a physical and mental health is to keep the quit and end the frustrating cycle you are in.

Hi Jeff, the constant thoughts of smoking in the early days of quitting is completely normal and one of the most frustrating parts of quitting for many of us. I believe its the cause of a few people losing their quits just to get relief from it. The problem with that is, as you've seen over and over, you have to begin at step one all over again when you decide to "stop" again. The constant thoughts won't last forever but you will need to go through them to get past them. Its obvious you want to quit because you keep trying. So my suggestion is to use the clues given to you to help. My air cigarette and soft peppermint puffs helped me through my whole first year. I also would remind myself over and over again the reasons for my quitting. I would tell myself things like "all good(?) things must come to an end". And then compare it to things I outgrew or got too old to do anymore like dirt bike riding or amusement park rides. Those types of things. Also remember that you're choosing to quit. You can smoke anytime you want, you just don't want to anymore. Those are the things that helped me. Keep your goal of 18 weeks because I REALLY think by then you'll start feeling better. And lean on us to help get you there

G’day NOPE.......simple

You are doing great, Ace!

Couple Friends/ relatives came over to give me a hand with my Game room remodel, I had thought that both of them Quit smoking WRONG ! What was worse Both smoked my favorite smoke, Camel Wides. Both also know There is no smoking in the house, so as we are working I can smell the smoke, coming up from the back yard and on Carmen's clothes. I was trying to convince myself that it doesn't smell good, but it did. Carmen and Monic were good and kept far way from me but it was still there, some how I got my head onto thinking only about the roof repair we were doing and the smell of dinner cooking coming up the stove fan vent. Once I got involved about the job we were doing I was good, it was just another smell that really didn't bother me anymore. It felt good not to have that craving or at least to be able to remove it and replace it with something else. But I di fell bad of my friends knowing the harm that is waiting down the road for them. But Yes another hurtle jumped Feeling really good about where I am at and about my quit.

NOPE! Not Today!

For @Kdad and all the others who are still trying. Grasshopper wasn’t able to snatch the pebble from Master Kan’s hand on the first attempt (or multiple subsequent attempts). But once he truly immersed himself in the endeavor he finally succeeded and found true freedom. Keep trying until you succeed. It really is worth the effort.

Congratulations Kate ....your nearly there ....great yourself well..

Pimp suit. hahahahaha That's a good one. I have rewarded myself probably too much. Need to clean my air tools from yesterday (yep, those were rewards too) but will make a short list. To be completely serious, my biggest reward is this forum. This is my safe place, the place for me to keep my head straight. I love our membership and what you guys have done with the place. I sit back and think how hard and long it takes to get a forum off the ground and you guys just made it happen literally overnight. So yeah, my biggest reward by far is just coming here and seeing new posts, people helping one another, sharing things and the countless times I've literally laughed out loud reading some of this stuff here.
