If you'd like another awesome tool, we have quit tickers for your signature. You can watch all the time, money and cigarettes NOT smoked since you quit!

Yay to being almost done with hell week @Molly2310, you should be so proud of yourself Glad the NOPE/NOPT thread is working for you too. My fellow 2016 Buttkickers and I use to race to see who could NOPE first after cbdave posted it lol. It was a lot of fun and further commitment to keep it so we could post there

Well, here I am, approaching the end of my first week. I have to say that in some respects it’s been easier than I imagined, and, in other respects every bit as problematic. I’ve had really strong urges over the last couple of days but I’ve been more determined than I ever have before. I’m so grateful for the support that I have from my remaining family and from here. I honestly don’t think I would be feeling this way if not for that so thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Onwards and upwards, one day at I time. Oh and I love the NOPE thread on here, although I have to admit that for me it’s more of a not one puff today. I know I’ll reach the “ever” sentiment one day though which I love. Thanks again guys and gals

NOPE

Dear Molly, your Mum died suddenly on 10th February 2013, you were not smoking at the time, it was during your 9 month quit. You quit because your mum was a heavy smoker all of your life as well as an alcoholic. You were so worried about her, even though you were going down the same path. She was self destructive, so were you. You made a decision to stop smoking as the first step down a road of showing both of you that you could change. It wasn’t in time. You should have done it sooner, she might still be here if you had. You started smoking again, you fool. You looked after your Dad, remember? He had stopped in 1998 when he had his leg amputated because of smoking but you carried on. You watched him die from clogged up lungs despite having been quit for 20 years. He was in hospital in 2021. It took 7 days in hospital and 7 minutes in the end. You have scared your brother so much since then, he has lost his parents to smoking too. He didn’t say a word to you at the time but you saw the look in his eyes, you knew how scared he was of losing you too. You know how proud he is of you, how relieved he is that he doesn’t have to watch you kill yourself too. I know that you feel so alone sometimes, I know that on bad days you miss people so much that you feel like you don’t care if you die. I know that life feels empty a lot of the time but just think a minute, remember. You have had so many beautiful times lately, you have played with your nephews. You are loved, and you love. You will ALWAYS feel better in the morning, and you ALWAYS will. Remember that every day has the potential for something good: of a smile, of a laugh, of a special kind of happiness. Of a perfect beauty. Of nature, a song, a comedy show, a story, of a new friend, of so many things. There is so much to look forward to, even if you can’t always see it. There are days when you don’t even see the “good” until you go to bed and think, or when you wake up the next morning and recall. Promise yourself that you will always wait until tomorrow before you do anything silly and regretful yours Molly

NOPE!

You are doing great Molly!

Hi Molly2310 you quit on my birthday...I think that really lovely! Welcome to the train of taking back everything this addiction takes from us

So happy and proud for you, Molly!!

Wow Overcome, I’m so far behind you on nearly 7 days not months! Huge respect! Well done my friend

Hello Companion Travelers on the Train of Freedom, Grateful beyond expression to NOT light up.... within the first 5 minutes of waking every day between tasks after work, before work and at lunch at work after eating, swimming or walking before bed Grateful that I have almost stopped wheezing. Grateful that I do not smell like smoke. Grateful for every moment I continue to BE FREE from nicotine slavery. Still scared. Still wobbly. Glad you all continue to BE here.

Pedro, you are doing this because you want to conquer something in your life: your dignity. Your health. Your mental abilities. You want to be a functionable and contributive member of society, you want a magic life, you want money (you do!), you want to believe. Create your own faith, if faith lacks! It's an act of courage to recover from this addiction. You will feel very much better mentally. You will not be bothered with trivial nuisances. Your mind will benefit - keen mind. Remember that breathing fosters remembering and that is something magic you want in your life. You want to do many things. And see the world for what it is. Smoking prevents that. I know you are sensible. Many people are. You want to develop warriors hope and warriorship. Please consider not smoking and taking life in. The way it, be it hell, continue. I know you try to focus on the positive side of not smoking. I know you try to convince yourself that you want this, which is hard because you don't believe in yourself. Be it so. Become a recovering person. Always recovering! Conquer your fears! This mind of yours fears not being fed, that is what it is, all there is to it is this! It is the monkey mind. It will be hard times, good times, recovering times. It's normal your quitting is a mess. But it is the way. Now go about your day, feeling. The coming and going of relaxation and anxiety. Come back here if you need. You will, because you like writing. Now to go to the job interview!
