Lin-quitting

Good morning. I pledge NOPE today.

Good morning. It's NOPE for me today.

Wow Barry, 6 months! You're killing this! Keep up the great work.....and congratulations.

You have proven to yourself that you can do this Seren, with having your first month done and dusted. That is fantastic work, and the start of your forever quit! Congratulations, and celebrate your accomplishment today.

The mind of an addict is truly an amazing (amazingly oblivious) thing.

Bread sounds delightful savory comforting warm can I come over?

Good morning. I pledge NOPE today.

Hi Ren, I'm glad to meet you. Congratulations on your excellent decision to quit smoking. I was once a 5-6/cigarette/day smoker, many many years ago. And then without even realizing it I was over a pack a day with no real knowledge of when or how it had happened. And then for a period of time it was almost 2 packs a day. And then one day I realized I had been doing this for over 40 years. It can happen all too easily. So you are doing the smart and courageous thing by quitting now. Stay active and post often: this place can definitely help you succeed. Learn and understand all the reasons why NOPE is the only way to succeed. Welcome aboard.

You know what they say: This is a marathon, not a sprint. Hour by hour and day by day Buck, you got this.

Well shoot, Weegie.....you didn't smoke today, so congratulations on whatever day of your quit today is!

That's wonderful Moom! You are one fantastically excellent quitter, aren't you?!!! Keep up the great work, and congratulations.

Welcome DV. You have a great arsenal of ideas ready to help you succeed this time and I can tell that you will!

That's wonderful Latoya! Keep up your fantastic work.....and congratulations.

Yes, very normal. Maddening, but normal. Wishing you commitment and discipline until they lessen.....

Way to go Rose. I ended up reorganizing and cleaning 3 full closets my first 3 months quit. It seemed to be the perfect distraction for me, along with being hugely productive. I also found it helpful to do short "stupid/silly" things, like dancing crazily around my living room for 1 entire favorite tune, or walking around the outside perimeter of my house exactly 3 times, or setting up punching pillows and acting like I knew how to be a kickboxer for 2 minutes on the timer, etc.

I enjoyed your post Rose. I think you have all the commitment lined up to be a total success with your quit. Stay strong. I had never heard of "the 4 D's" so I looked it up. Found 5. They're excellent advice for all of us. Delay Deep breathing Drink Distract Discuss

That's outstanding work Birk! Congratulations on reaching 3 months of freedom.

Eleven months is a wonderful milestone MissDixie! Congratulations on reaching it.

Sending prayers for your BIL.....and that you stay strong in your quit during any trying times.

Awesome work Kev, you are on your way now! A lifetime of freedom awaits. Congratulations on reaching 2 months quit.

Way to go Shane! Three months is excellent work, and tells you that you can do this! Congratulations.

Well done Buck, and glad that your weekend trip went off with your quit intact. You know it's true, that all your days of NOPEs will lead to those days when you won't have any of those silly thoughts of smoking. It will happen.

Welcome Rose. Being a nonsmoker is awesome, I recommend it highly. And all the good peeps on this site can help you make it a permanent thing.
