NOPE

Still hanging out on the train. Had my first dream where I was smoking last night. That was weird! My family & my doctor are thrilled with my quit and so am I even though I am still struggling with how annoyed I get .... like were all of them this annoying before????

Nope!

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

NOPE!

Thank you, that's great advice. I can't really play games now because I'm setting my house in a new town and thw housework is endless, but that also has heped me to take my mind off smoking. I wish I had clarity enough to get my bearings in this new town but exhaustion is a strange way to redirect the craving. So, there's that.

NOPE!

Nope!

It's been so long I have serious doubts I will be remembered! But, I wanted to pop in and give thanks. I was an old QSMB quitter. There, I made some amazing friends. A few I am still in contact with today. Why is that important? Because quitting, and yes, I am still solidly nicotine free, quitting gave me my life back. I'm here to have those relationships. Although I'm now diabetic, I'm healthier and happier than I have ever been. I have lost all of my quit weight plus, almost 80lbs. I can hike, and breathe! I can dance, and breathe!! For everyone in doubt, those first few weeks are hard, yes they are, but keep going and growing! Love to all!! Gon

NOPE!

NOPE…

You are doing great @FunkyMonkey! Remember that we are here if you need us. I am glad that you have such great support from your family!

Ahhhhh! My friend Jillar!!! So nice to see you! I have thought of you often. I hope you are doing well. I very much miss the old days at QSMB. It was a perfect environment to quit. I am in fact seeing my sis next week. Her and her husband are also still nicotine free. Denali, I quit cold turkey after 40+ years of smoking. I can say this: The method does not matter. The best method is the one that sticks. I never wish anyone luck on a quit, I wish you strength, support, commitment and diligence . The beginning is never easy, but the result is glorious. I am almost 8 years quit now, I think. After a while it's easy to lose track. That is when you know you have won. Jillar, I will thank you for being a part of my quit as well. Support is so important. And even though we met after I believe I conquered the demon, the continuing support is crucial. I am proud of you to see that you are still fighting the fight as well. As a smoker I felt picked on. And even though I am not a nicotine nazi now, I know the whole world would be a much better place if smoking had a worldwide ban.

NOPE

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

Love to hear these stories - good motivation for those of us who are just starting out. Thanks so much for sharing.

NOPE!

NOPE…

@gonfishn21 Like @DenaliBlues, I love it when those who have quit before us pop in for a surprise update and give a pep talk to those still early in their quit. But best of all, I’ve yet to hear one of you complain about quitting, how much you miss it, how miserable you are. Everyone always mentions being active and engaged in life, and how they have real relationships with people! You know, instead of all the ducking and hiding we did before, when we let nicotine control our lives! Thanks for the update!

I remember you from the QSMB....I was a floating Butterfly back then .... It's really good to see you ...you were a great support to all.... Why not stay a while ...

It's great to hear from you @gonfishn21. You were very helpful and supportive of me and many others in our quits. I'm glad you are doing well and thanks for checking in.

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

NOPE

@gonfishn21!!!! Oh it's so good to hear from you Your ears must have been ringing, (or is it eyes watering?!) because you've popped into my head several times over the last few days What a great update too, say hi to little sis for me

Well, distraction is the key thing you need to find in order to help get through those nagging thoughts of smoking that are relentless in the early days of our quit. It's doable for everyone, just a matter of finding the right path for you and your current lifestyle. Keep at it because it's so worthwhile in the end.

They are expanding across the South now. Can world domination be far behind? Hey !!!!....Maybe Liverpool one day ...us Brits do seem to follow you guys alot

@Booyou make a good point. (me checking to see if they are publicly traded)

NOPE!

Way to go FM, happy to hear you are doing good!

I,ll fit in nicely your neck of the woods O.... I inherited this name ,along with others thanks to our Bakon ...

Congrats on your two month quit @overcome! That's huge!

Food/baking over the last few days. Beef stew Pumpkin Spice Latte Cinnamon Rolls (I'm basic) Cookies

I just finished baking cookies and packing my kid's lunch for school tomorrow. Now I'm trying to stay awake long enough to finish a book. Whoever said adulting was fun must have been on something, lol.

After a full day of drinking at the trailer park, I decided to tell the neighbour exactly what I think of him and his precious horseshoe pit!!

G’day I eat a lot of no meat foods. My gut cant tolerate too much meat and animal fats. Tried the vegan thing but discovered we are really supposed to be omnivores and eat everything to keep healthy. Definitly don’t do the artificial things trying to be something else like tutu burgers and soy steaks. Vegan bacon….. really! A slice of bacon can be a full meal for me. Cut up fried off to bring out the flavour. Make some buckwheat pancakes and serve with taziki and a salad. Can’t get better than that. Chris

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

NOPE!

Hi all - just a quick update. Gave up April 2017. Not had one puff since then. My smoke free app says I have saved £42,700! I never have cravings anymore. Just to say to you newbies...keep at it! NOPE

You can do this! Keep at it. Quit cold turkey and it was awful for first 6-9 months. Never think about it now!

Nope!

Watch out or we’ll cook your goose! 3

I'm still on the train

@11better11 Don't beat yourself up!! You can't go back, the only choice you have is get back in your seat, buckle up and move forward to beat this nasty addiction!! You can do this,its not easy but it is doable!

So the deed is done and there's no undoing it now. beating yourself up about it will do no good either. You're at a crossroads right now, because you've awakened all those nicotine receptors in your brain again just as they were getting into a nice deep sleep. They're going to be calling out to be fed, probably louder and more frequently than before. The question you have to answer for yourself is what is it that you want more. Freedom from this terrible addiction or another round of smoking slavery? You may have made quitting a little harder by having 'just one' but you can still quit! You just need to double down on your efforts and your commitment to be free of this smoking nonsense. That choice can only be made by you! You know there's always support here for you but it's now time for you to really take charge of your quit if you still want to be smoke free for good.

I did it!!! Just wanted to share.

LOL I get it. But I'm not giving up, and I don't plan on disappearing. I just want to have the time to make it a nice experience, celebrate, and get rid for good of the disgusting smell.
