Reciprocity

Yes, yes. I'm almost ready ..................... I'll be there shortly.

-15 Hey! Isn't it bedtime yet over there?

I too never had a dream about smoking that I can remember anyway. Then again, I don't remember dreams 99% of the time anyway so maybe that's a blessing for me? Anyway, glad you just Dreamed it

NOPE! No time for smoking ..... I've been invited to a BBQ

Actually, until you both mentioned it, I never even thought about smoking or wanting to smoke through that whole mess of a day. Was focused on just trying not to hurt anyone Actually, I guess that's a good thing though. My brain no longer goes to thoughts of smoking to deal with life's bullshit.

Kind of the same thing with me. Just a bolt of logic out of nowhere one day and ........ that was that. NOPE ever since and have been sure as I can be that I would never smoke again for the past 6 months or so. You have to be ready to make that commitment to yourself in order to quit and stay quit. Once you truly do that, you;re golden. Nothing will stop you

It will be like that for a bit Octain - ups and downs but know that this is completely normal. It WILL smooth out in pretty short order providing you stick with the NOPE program. I remember some days in my early quit when the craving seemed to be just constant. Next day, not so much. It's a process. Stick with it & you will be happy you did

Just wanted to give a shout out to all you newbies who have joined us in the last week or so. We're thrilled to have you with us and we're cheering you on 100%! We know the struggle to readjust as a non-smoker and we also know that that struggle is only temporary and that the benefits are forever! Keep climbing that rope!!

^^^ Nice try PT .............. -13

NOPE!

Geez!! Been busy all day and look what's happened -13

Proud of all you Newbies! Yes, there will be challenges even after your body is clean of nicotine but that's because you need time to rewire your brain to live your normal daily life without smoking being attached to everything you do pretty much. That just takes time and patience on your part. We all go through it and providing we keep to the NOPE pledge we make every day, we all come out being very happy (and healthy) to be non-smokers for life

I love how you are focused on the positives you are realizing after quitting rather than dwelling on the challenges you face in the early quit. Makes the whole process that much easier and more rewarding sooner. Doing GREAT Octain

Agreed, distracted driving is the #1 danger these days in terms of driving issues. This, I believe, has also increased the motorcycle fatalities quite dramatically in the past two years as well. There have been a lot more vehicle crosses center line type fatalities in the past year or so around here. Crossing center line is usually distraction or falling asleep. Even with doubled fines and demerit points, it has made little difference in people using their devices while driving. I stopped riding on pubic highways earlier this year. Too many people I know have had life altering issues recently. Off-road, track days or trials riding is where you have best control over your riding safety these days.
