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

Pledging , promising , committed today to nope .

NOPE...

NOPE!!!!

Nope!

I was having a real down time with bipolar depression and so close to buying cigarettes for comfort, just looking for any comfort. You all helped me through it. I went online and searched for a forum for bipolar. I found a really good one. Such a relief. I have lost all of my friends, and even family has turned against me because of the yo-yo moods--they never know who I will be today. They fault me for "thinking negative," and tell me to "just think positive thoughts." The success I've found with this forum (and Doreen) encouraged me to keep looking for a group of like-minded people with whom to connect. This Quittrain support group has not only helped me quit smoking and stay quit, but think about other areas of my life where an online group might be helpful. Ripples across the water. Thank you all

Nopety NOPE! ❤

The days fly by, then weeks and months and years. One thing has been constant for almost a year and a half: NOPE

NOPE

NOPE

I'm so glad you guys care about your quits enough to post an SOS so that we could help you through it. There's no shame in that no matter how many years quit you are

Feel your pain both and appreciate your strength in staying with the quit despite everything.

@Kate18I also suffer from bipolar anxiety and depression. I would love to know the name of the online group you found. Please message me when you are able. I also came close to smoking recently but put out an SOS here and made it through. It is tough getting through the day sometimes. Lately, I have not been going out much or hanging out with people. I am guarding my quit this time. If I feel like I am going to be manic, I just stay in until it passes. It is difficult sometimes, but I have very few close family and friends that get it. I am also glad this forum exists because smoking will just make my mental state worse. I am very glad that we have a place like this where we can have support.

I don't think I'm alone here...some of us have those songs that we like in spite of not wanting to admit that we like them. For me personally, many of these songs are tunes that were popular in the eighties. They were songs that my sister liked, so me being the pesky little brother that I was spoke often of how terrible those songs were. It was a pointless debate, but I would say things like: "Duran Duran sucks! Van Halen rules!" Heard one of those songs while I was eating lunch this afternoon. Now, I can confess that I looked this song up and listened to it again.

@Robbie, I'm REALLY glad that ice cream is working to kill the craves, strawberry cream sounds delicious We're here and if you get bored come play some games

NOPE

Not here-

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

Would this be the mall? My company does work in malls which usually takes place during off hours. Mornings before stores open there is always the power walkers doing laps.

As much as I was into a lot of Rock and Progressive Rock at the time I have to admit that this song (and group) I strangely liked and always reminds me of my entering of my teen years. And to Johnny5 I accidently saw Starland Vocal Band by accident in Washington DC in 1977 -- story is too long and too weird!!!

Neither of my parents smoked. But a lot of other relatives and friends did so it was acceptable in most places. I remember Mom bringing out ash trays when smokers came over even though she hated the smell in the house. In her later years I would only smoke in a bedroom when I came to visit her or go outside weather permitting. In her last year in a nursing home I would go outside to smoke. I`ll always remember her asking me if I didn`t want to step outside for a smoke and telling her that I was around 3 months quit. I started because I thought it was cool and most of my friends (musicians) did. Should have listened to Mom.

That old head rush was what pulled me into being a full-fledged smoker. I was doing a bit of underage drinking with my friends. One of my buddies told me: "if you smoke while you drink, it will make you buzz harder." Smoked about ten cigarettes that night. Woke up the next day wanting more nicotine. And an addiction was born. Fortunately, most of the stupid decisions I made as a teenager were easily left in the past. Those cigarettes I smoked that night represented a bad decision that would continue to be repeated for the next twenty-five years.

It's not one puff today that gets me the "ever " quit I want tomorrow . Lets quit .. For Ever !

Getting old is not any fun.

Poop for brains

Quit date 6/20/21, getting harder as time passes!
