Hey, JH, Congratulations on your first day of freedom, now on to the rest. You can also control whether you smoke or not. This is the key, you ARE in control. Addiction is not a third party or a construct of a demon. It is all about Your choice and YOU have complete control . As addicts we blithely gave away that power. Now is the time to take it back and your power will grow as you build a sturdy and successful quit. Here is the crux of your failures and it will continue to thwart your success. If you can't make the commitment and stick to NOPE, your quit is doomed. We all have to drink the NOPE kool-aid. Not One Puff EVER. NOPE~Never/Ever/Forever Some deep thought and weeding out the lies of addiction will help to clarify your mind. Here are some of the lies we all told ourselves, please add any of yours. It is quite a collection. Red Flags and yes, The Great Smoke Free Mental Fog So glad you are with us. I believe you CAN deal truthfully with your addiction and build your forever quit. We have and we are not special snowflakes of super men/women. We are addicts just like you who took our lives back. S

Hey kiddio

NOPE

Do whatever you need to do and protect your quit. Soon, your confidence will build as you encounter more triggers and prevail without cigarettes. I am including this video from Joel Spitzer in which he tells a marvelous story about a reluctant quitter and the importance of NOPE. not necessarily because you are or aren't a reluctant quitter, more to do with avoiding your friends in order to keep your quit. The video deals with how quits don't always go as planned. I don't Want To Quit Smoking

Some things are being lifted so, there is a bit more activity on the street. Most wearing masks and practicing social distance. I love not seeing people and will be sorry to see 'civilization' come roaring back besides the tragedy of Covid. 2

Hey G ! How's everything in the city of Angels ? 2

When you are tired of obeying the lies of addiction, when you truly see those lies for what they are, you can start to build a successful quit. Take this one moment at a time. With each crave and trigger faced down, your resolve will strengthen. Re-visit all of Joel's work. Etch NOPE onto your consciousness, your sub-consciousness.
