Thanks Jo, and all of you who followed ofcourse. So sweet. Would not have been here without the board. Unfortunately I got very sad news yesterday, concerning a loved one. Not in the mood for celebrating something that seems so minor in comparison to that. Got to stay on guard now more than ever though, that much I know.. room enough for what's left of the inner junkie to start tempting me again, explaining to me how this is a particular situation where none would resist... etc. I can't make space for that, or all would be for nothing. Thanks again, I'll stick with nope for as long as it takes x

You are a true superwoman! Glad to have met you on the train!!!!

Neuhp

Whishing you well and hope to see you back starting the nope-thread soon!

@ChosenFreedom how are you doing? Tomorrow 'the head is off', we say in Holland, the start has been made, first days are done, one week of being smokefree will be yours!

I am not so sure how they feel about wine at Parsleys work either.. unless she works at a vineyard or something. In which case a hot shower would be appropriate, after trampling the grapes into wine

Hey Parsley! First of all, good that you sos'd. Apparantly this quit means that much to you! Hang in and stay with us. You ask why it feels like day one. Well, that's probably because you did something(s) that you haven't done yet without smoking? Quitting means breaking with associations, all sorts of. Practical as well as emotional. I was there a while ago, Im also nearing 3 months. The thoughts kept coming, like beating waves on a rocky shore. They subsided and I continued. A little bit wiser and vigilant in my quit. They will subside for you as well! Keep doing what you do, at a steady day-to-day pace. I promiss you will feel better later on, maybe even today. With every difficult moment you are strengthening your quit and building confidence. Take care and stay here as long as you need!

Sorry to hear about your father.

Ahh I am so sorry, late again.. maybe do some afterparty? Congratulations on your first year, massive! So great to see people reach that deck. Happy next year!

Epically late, but.... Congratulations Shane!

A bit late, but nevertheless ... Congrats Johnny! ??

Congrats kdad, well done! ?

That all sounds very familiair, CF. I quit on a wednesday evening, worked on thursday and then had 3 days off, slept right through them! Glad I did though. Just do whatever feels right, except for lighting up ofcourse. Dah. You sniffin in second hand smoke (iehw!) made me think of a dutch clip. I really recommend reading and teaching yourself about what it is that you left behind. It will strengthen your resolve for those moments you are going to need it! And, it helps to make the clock go faster in empty moments

Hi CF, somewhere in your third day, arent you? How's it going? Can you come around here, with all the information? There's plenty, I hope it helps!

Thanks for your message I looked it up, this SOS was over a week ago, 9 days i think. Thanks for reminding me about it, i thought I had a crap day today, but back then it was even more crap, ha! Don't worry, I'll hang in for sure. You are doing a great job by the way, having quit again. And thanks for mentioning about that sense of pride, good to hear from someone so early in their journey. Be sure to write about it and please sos when you need it!

Nooooop

Hi CF, welcome here. You made a great decision. Thanks for giving us some insight in where you are at, this moment. Keep doing that, it will help! I smoked my last cigaret conciously, or so I thought. Because, honestly I can't remember. I know it was 20:08 pm.. I have no clue about how I felt at that moment, except that quitting in itself made me anxious. But I am glad, because here I am! And the fact that I quit is soooo much more valuable to me than how or when or with which emotion I smoked my last one.. Jane is right about romancing. You can read a lot about that on the board. Take good care of yourself these coming days. You are doing the right thing.

How are you doing on your day 3, @Lilly?

Nope
