Joe, it's been 11 months! What a great milestone to reach, and only 1 month away from the 'big one' :) What a journey it's been, and how far we have come - thank you for being here to share this journey with us ;) Congratulations for a top bloke :)

Yes, it's Monday... but still NOPE. Will any guests join us today?!

I'm not sure that I have any plans, I just reward myself (or my wife) as and when I feel like it. I too have probably spent more then I would have on cigarettes, but it's been fun :)

Thank you frez! That really is me in a nut shell... Nothing I love more than a few days away in the woods fishing, alone and with a stack of good books :)

I suppose me, firstly. But also Tasha, and then you guys... Couldn't have done it without all of those people being involved! You guys rock :d

It is what I would call 'perfect' autumn here now... Very nice indeed :)

Wow Wendy, a month already! I'm so glad that you found us, and you are such a lovely lady :wub: 1 month is a really big deal and you should've really proud :) Congratulations! Here's a giggle just for you- http://youtu.be/RS4Z61TpCyI

If I ever join twitter...QT will be the first thing I follow

Watching Supernatural (halfway through season 7) Walking Dead (up-to-date) American Horror Story (up-to-date) Game of Thrones (up-to-date) Reading Threads on QT (thanks DD) Let me off at the top; my classy life and other musings by Ron Burgundy

NOPE was one of the things that got me to where I am today. I am still pledging after more that a year quit, with no plans to stop. For me, NOPE was a promise to myself that I would not smoke, just for today. It was my line in the sand - once I'd posted my commitment, smoking was no longer an option. In the beginning, I would tell myself that I had already pledged NOPE for the day, and if I still wanted to smoke tomorrow, then that's fine, just not today... I would deal with tomorrow, tomorrow! And if I couldn't keep a promise to myself, then what good was I, and did I really want to be that person who can't even be honest with himself?! Also, for me, the comradery of the pledge... It wasn't just me pledging, its all of us - we've all pledged not to smoke TOGETHER. We were all in the same boat, and that is a really big deal for me. Some days (most days) I would pledge NOPE as soon as I woke up, or if I was feeling particularly week, stay up past midnight so I could pledge before I went to sleep... There were a few days where I woke up pondering if I would smoke... I didn't pledge for a long time those days, and they were horrible days where I would fight with myself... When I would finally pledge on those days, probably on the afternoon, then it felt like a weight was lifted from my shoulders. Rest assured, if you see me post NOPE, then it is an absolute guarantee that I will not smoke, just for today. NOPE was and continues to be an integral part of my quit. I hope that makes sense, and it helps someone.

Sorry Sonic, not really sure... I may have had a little of that in the beginning, but not much. Maybe you should see your doctor?

Nope

Yep, that and garlic bread (garlic, AND bread?!) :p

Me too Sue... Another reason I try not to mess with it! Although I do miss seeing your face :(

Thank you Joe, that is so helpful!!!!

5 days... So proud :)

LOL will do!

Very nice Jenn :wub:

Holy moly, is that our Lace?! So good to see you, pretty lady :wub:

Thanks beacon, can never have too many reminders!

Happy for you Jess :)

Looks like it's sorted... Joe to the rescue, and great choice of signature :)

Wendy, my appetite got bigger when I quit for a few weeks... Then it settled down again, and I'm back to the 'normal' appetite of not much, lol :)

Halley, yay, so happy for you!! Please tell us how you are doing, my shark friend :) Congratulations!!!
