NOPE

Nope.. no can do!!!

Look at you go @DenaliBlues, another month done! Congratulations!!!

NOPE

Yay @overcome, you're almost done with Hell week already! I was surprised how things tasted so differently after my taste buds came back. I used to HAVE to have my Dr Pepper daily before I quit and after quitting rarely drink it now. Coffee too was another where I used to have two cups a day until I quit. Now I find one to be enough. Triggers were everywhere for all of us, the cool thing is as we get past them they become weaker and weaker. Something to keep in mind when you're going through one

It does look like (unless there's a complete train wreck) I will make a week, @10:15 pm a week ago today I was smokeless. Things sure would have been different if I would have missed the train and all your support. Thanks for the reminder of a reward @Mac#23 think I am going to get some new coffee, my regular tastes like . Currently, working on TRIGGERS and identifying them, but there are so many......do you all realize it's like everything...everything revolved around smoking @johnny5 you had a justified concern regarding my previous quits and triggers. The main trigger previously was alcohol, some might agree we do not always make the best decisions while consuming alcohol, that is no longer an issue for me. Thanks' Everyone!

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

O....I didn't know how to be a adult without my fix ...I used to feel like a toddler learning things without thier Comforter.... Doing every day things without my reward got easier each time I did it .... Well done on your first week ... As Jill says Hell week over ...next week .Heck week ....

I used to sell these: But now I see they have these too which look yummy!

I had to Google it and I owned an ice cream truck so I would say yes. However I'm sure some city somewhere in the US has a place you can get one

Here's one from @Cbdave's neck of the woods...

Wow... You're doing so good. The first week is almost done so don't forget to reward yourself.

NOPE - Not One Puff Ever Please pledge to not smoke, even if it is one day at a time. Life without cigarettes is a much better life.

Drumsticks are similar to choc tops but you really only get choc tops at the movies.

Wow !!!.....these look good ....Haven't seen them in the UK ....

Feeling a bit shook you mob are deprived of this movies staple... pop corns nice an all, and a box of jaffas is on the money.... but going to the flicks and not having choc tops...I'm kinda shattered for you.

2 bell bottoms

1. Mullet haircuts

Glad you are doing well, Overcome. Great job!

Lol...!!!!

Wow !!!...Look at that ticker ..your heading for your first week ....nice job O.

Aww, so that explains the posters the caterer must have put up this morning.....

So glad to hear that you're Feeling Groovy on day #6. You are building up some great momentum!

That's what a lot of frustrated quitters feel when they are still young and fresh in their quit......water, deep breaths, walking, distracting, cleaning, exercising, posting, talking to a friend....the list is endless...but each and every one of those things are temporary...and as a new quitter...you get frustrated ya know? Yes...I tried all those things..and it never lasts...I tried the water 20 minutes ago...helped temporarily but it's back full swing now...so what should I do...I'm tired of these cravings....these things mentioned only help for the moment and i'm sick of it...why won't it just go away???????????????????? Sound familiar??? Well....of course the alternatives to smoking a cigarette are only a temporary distraction. 20 minutes later...that craving is back. But guess what? That's what you went through every 20 minutes as a smoker too. The cigarette is also a temporary fix....you smoke..and 20 minutes later...you want another. The difference between the smoker and the one who has quit is this: The Smoker continues this pattern for life. The quitter starts off with the pattern of every 20 minutes..however as the quitter continues to ward off the craving with the alternative choices (ie water, exercise..etc) the time between cravings becomes more and more. 20 minutes today...25 minutes tomorrow...45 minutes by next week....a week later it's like "wow...2 hours went by and I didn't think about smoking once" The smoker...is still feeding his addiction...every 20 minutes. Nothing has changed with that guy.... So.....the craving blocker is temporary? Temporarily it is......but continue to choose alternatives..and you will break free....you will. Choose to smoke..and be prepared for a lifetime of slavery. The only person who continues to suffer with regular cravings is the smoker....ironic isn't it? As smokers...we avoided quitting because we didn't want to suffer....turns out...the smoker is always suffering. which do you choose? Smoker or non-smoker?

Good morning everyone - I am feeling great this Saturday morning, just wanted wish you all a safe, happy weekend and say thanks again!
