Nope!

NOPE

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

NOPE

@Mee, your new backsplash looks wonderful, very spiffy! DIY-ing projects can save money and be gratifying... except when they become expensive and super aggravating. My partner and I are currently debating whether to hire someone to bury our gutter/sump pump drainage pipe (her vote), or whether I'm going to spend a weekend in the back yard wielding gravel and a shovel (my vote). Secretly, I hope she wins the argument. Anyway, congrats on powering through your troubles and getting a beautiful end result. Hopefully you'll feel a glow of pride every time you use your kitchen.

Hang in there Kdad and one day smoking will be a thing of the past. Sounds like you have the guts to tough through this and it seems to be what you want and need to do. Smoking will be a thing of your past. Best wishes and stay strong. good job!

NOPE

NOPE

Congratulations Steven you have reached Double figures ... This calls for a big Reward ....Well done ...

@Mee, when my husband and I married he had his own business. He did a lot of tile work. You should be proud, it looks like you paid a pro to come in and do it!

NOPE!

Beautiful @Mee I love what you did with the cabinets too

This turned out wonderful @Mee! I love it! You should be proud!

Well done ....your kitchen looks brilliant ....all your hard work has paid off... Love the colours Sweetie ... You can come and do mine

Cleaning up from our big kitchen project of tiling. I said I would post a finished picture. Boy was this a job. We had painted the kitchen cabinets and got new countertops. It was hard enough picking a tile because the counter tops seemed so busy in color. We have been here 32 years and definitely needed a redo.

NOPE, NOT NOW….NOT EVER!

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

awesome quit Steven. Keep it going.

Well done!!

Congratulations Steven. You are doing great

Congratulation! I’m so envious. Let us know how you feel. Any cravings?

Congratulations Steven! 10 months! You have done wonderfully well. How are you?

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

After doing tile, I admire anyone that does it. I am one that likes to get in there and make it look new fast. We were torn up for over a week. I am thankful my husband will try anything (he is too cheap to pay anyone).

NOPE…

Congratulations Steven, 10 months is awesome…

here is something to consider...plants cannot move so to protect themselves they produce toxins that are harmful to the animals that ingest them. The nicotine in the tobacco plant is actually a pesticide that the tobacco creates to kill the animals that would eat or in this case smoke it. so the next time you have a crave for a cigarette just remember that is the tobacco plant trying to kill you. create a picture in your mind with that theme and see if it helps take the edge off of those craves. ditto that for caffeine

Good job for reaching out

Good to see that you made the choice to post here first. It makes you a bit stronger and will help you going forward. KTQ.

NOPE…

NOPE!

I want to smoke too! The cold hard truth is I can't. The minute the doctor told me a cat scan revealed the beginnings of emphysema I knew there was no more telling myself smoking was okay. Push came to shove, the cat was out of the bag, the cookie crumbled, and I had to face the consequences of my actions over the last 40 years. Sounds like the Doc has told you, you are on a one way road to a bad head on collision. Your family is in the car with you. If this was literally happening while you were driving you would get off at the next exit. You have done it before, you know you can do it. Please save yourself and your family from heartbreak. Accept it as the only choice!

Thanks for the support! Still smoke free.

Attaway, @JustinHoot99!

As you know- Posting and reading saves many quits! Congratulations on entering no man’s land! The thrill of quitting is more quiet here for a bit- but it never goes away!! Keep it up - you’re doing great.

NOPE! Not now… Not EVER!

Still NOPE!

NOPE!

Nope.... Another day smoke free!!

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

K dad.....the only way you will move forward ,is to fight your way through the craves ... If you smoke ...you'll only wish you back where you are today ...stay strong ...

Hang tough Kdad. You can get through this. We travelled our journeys together during your first quit. I know you have the fortitude to do this. I'm thinking your lapses are more about being down in life. You seem to have had a lot that has happened, including the pandemic. Cigarettes do nothing for you. You are worthy of a smoke free life. We are here for you!

The more of these you get past the easier it gets. Just keep reminding yourself of how you were able to quit for a year and if you can do it before you can do it again. I use to constantly repeat "this too shall pass" and "all good(?) things must come to an end". I also equated it to stuff I had outgrown like riding dirt bikes or amusement park rides. I outgrew smoking as well...

You CAN get past the crave @Kdad, you know this! Just stay firm to NOPE! That really is THE ONLY way to reduce these bad craves!

Way to go Mac! Congratulations on the 2 year quit.
