Reciprocity

The NM has NO power mighty - YOU do. That's why he needs you to act on his behalf. You are right though, he's a sneaky little bastard and will absolutely know when you are at your weakest point before he pounces. Give him the finger What's really going on is your own brain (which is used to junkie thinking) battling against you because you have stopped supplying what is craves - nicotine. Don't worry though because the more distance you put between you and smoking, the NM will slowly die. It just takes time. It WILL happen though

Dedicating my NOPE today to @richard in memory of his dear wife who passed from COPD. Do your lungs a favour folks quit and stay quit!

Gutted to read of the passing of your wife Richard. My deepest sympathies to you for your loss. Thank you for having the courage to share this with others. I'm sure your motivation is to make even just 1 person think twice about quitting. Thank you for that. I know it can't be easy to do that.

I didn't understand this concept of "a craving" in the early days of my quit (almost the entire 1st month) because if I was awake, I was almost overwhelmed with the desire to smoke. It had no beginning and no end. I just didn't think about it as often when I kept myself busy. occupied and distracted. It wasn't until later that I would occasionally get a sudden urge to have a smoke. I mostly couldn't tie those to "triggers" either. It would just come out of nowhere when I was almost anything - sometimes nothing at all. I was never really tempted to smoke due to stress or life situations. I suppose I was able to keep my life and my quit separate like that. What was in my brain in terms of what I thought a cigarette would do for me? Not really sure. I guess that Ahhhhh feeling of pleasure from taking those first couple of drags. Sure am glad I never gave it up though.

How many of us didn't say at some point; "I'll quit when a pack of smokes costs (fill in the $ number)!" Then we made an excuse to continue when the price got there.

Nope!

Go to Australia if you want a real shocker for the cost of a pack of smokes. Then there's Saint Martin, in the Caribbean. Price per Carton!! (10 packs of 20):
