I wonder how often I would remember that I used to smoke if I were not reminding myself every morning in order to pledge NOPE? This morning I came across this gif, and it's going to come in handy as a visual when I want to forget things like seeing a piece of chocolate cream pie in the deli at work. (I work in an organic grocery store with a superb deli and bakery.) Thought I'd share it...if you are new to quitting, if seeing someone light up causes the desire to do the same... "just look here"

NOPE

nope

NOPE!!

Nope!!

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

Hi Trucking along and BEing free. Great opportunity with my mom and our friend for a few days. Grateful to have this place and all of you.

A thought ... Im here everyday talking about smoking.. Do i ever feel like lighting up.. Never ..that speaks volumes ..!!

I appreciate so much what I’m learning from you all and for the interactions and laughs

NOPE!

NOPE. It's as though I never smoked.

NOPE…

NOPE!

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

Hi @Kate18! Your post made me laugh and gave me hope. While I haven’t had a day that I haven’t thought about smoking, years ago while me and hubby watched men in black I had a thought of wow, wouldn’t this thing be a lifesaver, literally, in helping a smoker become a nonsmoker (ideally me and my dad who was a heavy smoker, he passed in dec 2021 and miss him dearly…he was the kindest and best man, and daddy, ever). I hope and am looking forward to a day when remembering I smoked, or a cig itself for that matter, is a fleeting thought.

Congratulations, it is good to see you are doing so well. Don't forget to reward yourself today.

Congratulations @overcome on eight months quit! I hope you do something special to celebrate today

Hurray for 8 months of freedom, Overcome! Way to LIVE!

A very big congrats to you, overcome!!! Well done, proud of u

Thanks buddy! yes - it was my Son who told me to consider all the things I have Overcome in my life and after that quitting smoking would easy! So happy for him, he quit vaping about three months ago and is doing very well with his quit.

Congratulations, buddy!! Nice that you’ll see your son to celebrate. Didn’t your “Overcome” user name come from something your son said about believing in your ability to make it through adversity? Or maybe I’m not recalling that right. In any case, way to go!

I am ..... hey I am! Thank you @jillar I am going to dinner with my Son, so that is special. And thank you to everyone on the train who has been a support to me and everyone else!

Hi Brioski and thanks i don’t feel proud - I feel so ashamed and embarrassed that I keep failing at this thing! going back to smoking - the first one felt great - just like an old friend came back - I was straight back up to a pack a day and hated every single one after that first one - that feeling that you are just killing yourself one day at a time! sitting outside in the rain when I could have been inside with my family and constantly checking my oxygen levels to try and convince myself that because they were pretty good then I was somehow immune to the damage that smoking would do! It’s all a bit pathetic really… well done to you and try your hardest to get through the bad times so that you’re not me - starting again at day 1 and feeling like a loser! Thanks for the welcome again - felt embarrassed to even post again given my spectacularly bad effort

Impressive! Congratulations!

Congratulations @overcome You are doing awesome!
