You’re setting yourself up for success by taking a close look at your fear and vulnerability, Gene. It’s good to be prepared, it will help you protect your precious quit. When push comes to shove, you might not even feel tempted to smoke, like Jillar said. But if you do have cravings or longings, that’s ok. Smoking was part of your social life and ritual life for a long time, so it’s natural to miss it. You can acknowledge those feelings without having to act on them. Have a great time, be joyful with your friends… and don’t stick anything in your mouth and light it on fire!

NOPE

Happy anniversary, Chris. Love your daily photos!

Congratulations Cbdave, that is an incredible quit and it looks good on you. Thank you doing the daily Nope forum and sharing all those wonderful pictures.

It's that time of year in Buffalo where the leaves are changing. Nope.. not now not never..

Hey @Genecanuck, I bet you'll be fine this weekend and keep your awesome quit and if you need our support just come on and post so we can help you past the crave. You'll be happy to know that for most of us, the work up to the event was way worse than the event. And the event went great. So have a nice weekend, we got your back!

Repetition and time are powerful tools. With patience and persistence, not only can you change your thoughts but also rewire your brain. The same way we conditioned ourselves with cigarettes, we can also condition ourselves with positive things.

When you totally understand this addiction ,when you see how the Big Tabacco Companies ..work so hard to make sure we ..the poor smokers stay hooked for life ... There is nothing left to Romance ..... poison......they have been poisoning us .... It's so slowly we are unaware.....it's only when are bodies carnt cope with it anymore ....it develops a chronic illness most of them fatal... COPD is nothing to Romance ..trust me .....you really don't want to have this in your life ....

The way to prevent a relapse is to take smoking off the table and stand by your commitment to NOPE (Not One Puff Ever). Root out any thoughts you may have that smoking is OK or that just one will be OK or that it was great to smoke. Any thoughts are the LIES of addiction. We've heard and thought them all until we chose to control our thoughts and leave addiction in the dust. Red Flags You must be merciless in this and leave no room, no room at all for relapse. I am concerned, forestgreen...you often speak of the romance of nicotine. What is romancing you ? What remains enticing ? What do you think you are missing ?
