Lin-quitting

That was too cute! And cautionary. Thanks Catlover.

My motivations to stay quit: - I was on my way to an oxygen tank. What a ridiculous way to live when I have the power to defeat that possibility. This was my main motivation to quit in the first place: I finally got angry enough about this to do something about it. - My self esteem is now all entwined with quitting. If I ever gave in now I wouldn't be able to live with myself. The fact that I successfully quit makes me feel good about myself. - And joyful. Some days I can actually feel joy about my breathing and my discipline and my release from the slavery and my new daily exercise routine, that came about solely from quitting. - and $1000.00/year money in my pocket ain't too shabby a reason either. Thanks for the post Sazerac. It's a great reminder and motivator.

Good morning. Making my first Quit Train NOPE pledge: I pledge NOPE today.

We all hope you are well and smoke-free Jules. Congratulations on reaching 3 months of freedom!

You are an inspiration on this board PeaceTrain (evident even to just a lurker like me!) Congratulations on reaching 9 months of smobriety.

Well done Albert, two months is fantastic work! Congratulations.

Ditto.

All I have to remember - for the rest of my life - is NOPE. I stay close to my "quit smoking forum/support group" (thanks! QuitTrain for taking us in) just so that I never forget that one simple thing. (My BFF is injured and in a sling right now and asked me to "light one" for her just this week. It horrified me that I was halfway to doing it - you know, I was only thinking to help her out - before I realized what I was doing! NOPE. I must remember I can't take that chance. Ever.)

Hi guys! Even after almost a year, I find I need my daily inspiration and reinforcement. It's good to find so many old friends here. I hope to make new ones. And I send great big thank yous to the Quit Train forum for being so nice in welcoming us.
