NOPE!!!!!!

Nope! Nope!

NOPE! Not today!

@Cbdave, did you mean Sun? Nope!

We had a large family barbecue yesterday, here at my eldest son’s home in beautiful Upper Bucks County, P.A. He has a large country estate, in a very woodsy area, on his own private road. Very peaceful here. Today we went to a museum/castle filled with artifacts from the early settlers of our country. That was fun and educational, at the same time. Tonight, Pizza and hoagies for dinner, 2 things the east coast does better than anyone. All in all, a great 4th!

NOPE! not today!

You're lucky to have boobs big enough to do that!

I thought it was hysterical and have no issues Sirius.

You have to win your battles ,before the war is won ...keep going !!!!

Sorry Kris, I didn't realize I was out of line. I will bow out with apologies.

So glad you didn’t smoke Kate. I have lost a 2 year quit in the past, because I thought it would cheer me up, and bring back the good old day feelings. Alas after so long of not smoking, it was nothing like how I remembered it to be, disgusting taste, and I felt so down, depressed and angry with myself for giving in to the stupid lies. Of course the rest of the pack had to go as didnt want to waste the money I spent 😖 you would have stunk and hated yourself. You have a beautiful quit going, pamper yourself, and treat yourself . And I also love the idea of flowers and scented candles, surround yourself with lovely things and breathe that lovely fresh air. stay determined 😊

My coping mechanisms during my quit smoking blues were exercise, mainly cardio, cooking and eating delicious food, hanging out here and, oddly enough, alcohol.

Oh so glad you didn't smoke! Great job, Kate! Just stick with us oh and yes the ice cream . You Aussies sure have some bad*ss ice cream flavas yum!

NOPE

NOPE (for Sunday the 4th of July)!!!!!!!

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

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

Was I at a museum or at a was, or WTH is everyone talking about?

Thought I was having a hot flash this morning then I realized it was just my boobs in my coffee

I just found out my neighborhood had a meeting about the crazy lady its weird that they forgot to invite me. 😂😂

NOPE

@StevenHere, such a great post. Well done! You're doing all the right things, walking etc. For me, I decided it was too risky to leave it to chance. I mean, if I got into a situation like that and wasn't ready, it would likely lead to a bad outcome. So I decided to prepare and practice on my own terms. Decided to go and join the smoke buddies deliberately while they smoked. I think since it was done as an exercise, it was possible to stay on top of the situation without giving in and of course it helped going forward cause those muscles were already strong. Go for it buddy. What else is the saved money for?

@Sirius I agree with @jillar and @Doreensfree you weren't out of line we are all adults here and people should take what you like and leave the rest and I came up with penis does that mean I'm a friend lol😀😀😂😂

What kind of soup?

Hi all. Doing good. Cravings after dinner and such disappearing think much less about. Lungs doing so much better , yeah this is the new me non smoker,, I love how much money saved and the count of cigs Not smoked is amazing, i am done with ths coffin nails ,, sleep semms better too. Happy 4th to all

So did I when I first saw it 😂😂

Geez....I nearly shite myself .......🙁

Kris ... Off the record is a safe place for members to post fun things ... It's for members only ....not for the public to see .... I suggest ....if you are easily offended ...maybe you should stay clear ... Because this can get quite rude ....and we don't want to be walking on egg shells ... It's not for everyone .🐸

You weren't. This is after all the adult area of our forum. Carry on 😊

Hi Steven, just checking in, you getting along okay? I am having a bad morning which seems to be my normal. Once I get thru the morning I do better the afternoon, the crave lets up a little bit. I was expecting this to be hard but I never thought it would be this bad after two weeks. I thought we would have it done, but the post I have read indicate that we are going to be on this part of the ride for about a year. Lord god, please help me and others reach our goals. Anyway, give us an update, good or bad every is here to help K

Never heard of penis exercises so I googled it and found this....

NOPE!

thanks for explanation of your ELE. I have never heard that one (I am thinking that everybody loves you, your humor and wit K

You did it @Kate18 Hard but doable right . What are you fav flowers I'm wondering . Will it be a single 🌹 a sunflower 🌻 or a bouquet , 💐 , a potted tropical plant or something else . Will they be yellow , or pink , or multi coloured or your favourite color. ( anything is possible these days ) Maybe you will find a simple wilted dried up plant no one wanted at the greenhouse or farmers market and you can bring it back to life with nurturing just as we can do on rough days of our quits . If you have chosen a bouquet , will it have babies breath to remind you that this crave you beat is like that of babies breath breathing in oxygen not stolen by a smoke. Will you put that beautiful candle beside it or something else . Candles smell way better than smoke . Will you tell your kids the story of how tough quitting smoking is and how hard depression can be too but you made it through . Thank you for posting , for being real . I appreciate that , and you helped me and I'm sure others . Quitting is a journey full of surprises isn't it , but not one thing can take our quit away unless we give it a way . Be proud of you Kate and if today is still rough reread all of the wonderful comments ideas and suggestions . There is tons love and support . Take what might help . ALL want to help . Maybe something has sparked a creative idea of your own to lift your spirits . I would love to hear how you take care of yourself . Many people suffer from depression , I myself at times do as well although mine is caused by a medication side effect that I have no control over along with stress and circumstances . The medication is my life line until something new or a cure comes along . One day at a time is all any of us can take or have . . The good news for me is I believe there are trials now ... believe it or not because of covid . You own your quit . I own mine and others own theirs but TOGETHER we get through .

NOPE Relieved, hopeful, and ready to continue on through to 2nd year anniversary in 8 or so months.
