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

.

NOPE

NOPE!!!!!!

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

I saved up and it paid for a Australian Holiday for a whole month ,to visit my daughter.... I've saved up enough for another ...which will happen when the world opens up properly...

I bought a new pump and filter system for my pond that keeps the 2400 gallons crystal clear!

I deprived myself of many things over the years because I smoked . Food , clothes , entertainment , vacation , walks, fun , family , $ $ $ are put to much better use now . Great post @Doreensfree

Thought ya'all kicked me out- the preparation h comment was too much?

NOPE…

The five senses . Sight , hearing , touch , taste , smell . Whats in a cigarette ? How did Big T grab your attention ? Advertisements on T. V. are some of the biggest lures to sell products , from tobacco , to junk food , to alcohol , to appliances , home furnishings, and the list goes on . Big T hires professionals who know how to manipulate you and me . Professionals who know what you need to hear to buy cigarettes and what you want to see to attract you , like packaging . They know that touch and feel is important to you if said as well as hearing seeing , touching and smell . Menthols and regulars are an example . They know that taste can trick you . Lighter , stronger . Bubble gum flavours in vaping another example . They knew cartoon characters and Drs and movie stars and Drs can influence you . Feeling important , feeling thinner , feeling empowered were tools they used . Words can be deceiving and dangerous . They prey mainly on the young . That's when we all started with one . Wasit Curiosity ? Lack of self esteem ? Why did you start ? What truth have you learned now to quit and stay quit ? Discernment is important . What lies will you believe ? Truth sets us free . People look up to idols . But let me say , smoking became our idols because of only two things : addiction and choice . How will you break free from addiction ?

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

Hi everyone, the Quit Train was off line for quite a few hours, maybe for maintenance? Went to check in on everyone and the page just had error 500. Anyway, looks like it's all ok again...I realised that I would miss it if it disapeared!

NOPE!!!!!!

Initially, I used some of the savings from quitting to convert the basement of my old house into a gym. Now I have a wife and a daughter. Whatever I'm saving from not smoking is already spent.

Sorry guys! The quittrain isn't going anywhere! I got a little click happy and got myself knocked off the site and that was the only way MQ could get me back on. My apologies to everyone....I've learned an important lesson..

My dad was a four pack a day smoker. It seems he always had a cigarette in his mouth. My 6 siblings and I were full fledged nicotine addicts before we were borne. Within 3 months of his passing away the three teenagers left in the house, including me were lighting up smokes. My mom never smoked despite being around it her entire life. I guess she didn’t’t have to. I remember a few times when I was a teenager that I didn’t have money for cigarettes and I remember the withdrawal each and every time.

I'm going to be a little long winded this morning , that's because I don't smoke anymore ... but then again I'm a talker too , a social butterfly lol . A breathe of fresh air to see the rain this morning . smells so good outside when a smoke isn't attached . No problem here today refusing to smoke . Took it off the table on Day 1 and it is not an option . It's not one puff ever as much as it is its I have a "life forever "smoke free ! Who knows how long forever will be but my days are smoke free one day at a time and that's all that matters . We all don't do that anymore . Easy peasy thinking when you get in it to win it . I " tried " to quit far to long . It's doable when we truly decide we are able to do . There are no excuses today and I will make none . Its a cool down day here after a record heat wave .. dishwasher is going , clothes in the laundry and cooking some freezer meals before the heat makes its way up again . Have a great day all . I am going to promise you ....smoking is not in the forecast . Signed sealed and delivery . Its a Nope from me . Thanks @Cbdave for the kick off .

G’day bloody hell.... I got flash backs to the old QS boards sinking. I really thought I’d have to swim for it again

What are you spending it on ....Or saving for ....??????

NOPE

Yep what's her,s is her,s ...........and what's yours is her,s........ Gym ....Or Maddie and Sugar Britches....No Contest ....

NOPE

Yes, it is! And I've had a few ask if they could go swimming in there

My mom smoked through both her pregnancies. It was the norm back then, heck the Dr smoked during examinations! I remember my mom having us girls light her cig for her when she was driving. Back then we didn't know how to inhale and she smoked menthols so I never thought that was very pleasant. My dad on the other hand smoked Pall Mall unfiltered so it was easy to go get a butt from any one of the ashtrays laying around and get our fix. Ugh, I think of it now and its gross Funny out of a family of five my brother was the only one of us who never picked up smoking. Hated it in fact....

I personally thought it was hilarious

For a hot minute, I had the same reaction, but dismissed it pretty quickly, as I have been a stellar participant….

I also tried to log on, and was concerned that perhaps the sight was no longer….,,but I have always been a catastrophizer.

NOPE

Way to go Robbie! Congratulations on the 3 month mark. You got this and just keep and enjoy it. best wishes.

Congratulations @Robbie . I'm so glad you are here . You are doing great .

Well personally I'm not worried about using Quit Train as a crutch at this stage in my quit. (I just watched the video). We all depend on technology these days...some people are seriously addicted to Face Book for example, but I'm not one of them. I was just curious about why it was down and yeah, I would miss the site, but I have other strategies too for dealing with my nicotine addiction now thankfully!

Are you talking about Boones Farm wine or are you to young to remember that kind?

NOPE!

Newbies !!!!.....come and tel us what you have done with your extra dollars

Yes, I have names for all of them lol. I still have Jawa, Goldie, Gold DJ, Smokey and Treat. Trick disappeared one day so probably the Heron. Trick and Treat are/were Skeleton Koi thus the names lol

I smoke all my adult life ....There is so much I missed out on ....because of my addiction.. Wow Jill.... That's some water Sweetie lol....

I smoked because I chose to . My best friend had me keep cigs for her so her parents wouldn't find out . One day a guy at school asked me if he could have a cig . I said they aren't mine , but hers . She was the most popular in school , me not at all . I was quiet and shy . I still am shy but I don't smoke . I've accepted I am who I am . Everyone met on the road just outside school property at recess breaks . Lunch hour in the cafe all the cool kids met where I never smoked in case my dad would stop in and catch me , or my mom . I joined in that "one " day ar school to be accepted into the popular group and be cool like my best friend . By grade twelve it was a half pack a day and in university I was up to a pack . Got married and a pack and a half , quit eight years . Divorced 2 packs a day .mThe rest is a story of twenty eight years of stinky hair , yellow finger nails, etc etc . As as I grew older I found excuses, like them keeping me thin , looking cool , handling stress . I tried different brands because the longer ones looked neat and gave me more for my buck , the thin ones looked dainty , lady like , and menthols smelled better . Some I chose were because " I thought " they were less harmful ( a lie) or had less tar and the list goes on . My dad was also a three pack a day smoker , mom a casual smoker . They never smelled cigs on me because .. well you know why they never smelled smoking on me . My my best friend still smokes . Hope she quits soon.
