Hi fellow NOPE'ers I've been thinking about how my quit is like being on an airplane. The first part of the quit is like a takeoff. A whoosh of a new feeling- some excitement even as I embarked on a journey and reached new heights. Slowly, as i've gained altitude, space between myself and that last smoke, I feel now at almost one moth in i'm hitting the cruising altitude, but with altitude comes pressure. I've hit some turbulence on my way to this height, but I kept climbing. For awhile, the clouds obscured my vision, and I felt like I could step off at at moment, back into my smoke filled haze, for just a quick moment and be ok, but that surely would've been an unwise move on my part, because instantly i'd fall back down and lose all my altitude. For now, i'm keeping my sealtbelt attached, ready for the bumps that may come with the cruise, but i'm prepared for the trip. In my lap is my reading material from Quit, in my heart is my desire, and in my soul is my strength. Headed off into the horizon where there are no more clouds

This is a great topic! As a smoker, I always thought about quitting even when smoking just as you stated. You need to hang in there and keep putting distance between you and that last smoke. The farther you get, the less of a pull it has on you. Never forget WHY you wanted to quit, and focus on that

Welcome JustJoan! Like you I had quit for many years, and for some dumb reason took that one puff. You remember how good it felt to be a non smoker- freedom is at your fingertips You're taking the right steps- support is here when needed

Happy birthday! Do you post on Jessie’s hunt forum as well?

Day 19- hell ya This hasn’t been easy but it hasn’t been extremely difficult either. Staying focused and committed.

It's all up to me- the choice is mine Nobody gonna do this for me Moment by moment, day by day Smoking is becoming a distant memory Never forget the destruction Take a deep breath- exhale- smile

Closing in on 2 weeks & feeling proud of my progress. Gaining some new habits, like eating breakfast instead of drinking coffee and smoking- Keeping my head in a good place, and so far it's made those urges easier to handle. The support here has been awesome, and reading through posts when im having a tough moment takes my mind off my struggle.

NOPE no way

I wanted to quit because I despised smoking, and myself for being a smoker. I quit because I could feel the affects of smoking on my body- coughing, lack of fitness/ shortness of breath- and the aftermath of ash, stink, stains and burn marks on myself and lots of things I own. I quit because while smokers think it's social, it's actually a lonely experience. Finally I aligned my body, soul and mind and quit for good, and i'll never forget those reasons.

maybe bowling, with a white russian?

Still getting used to not smoking in many situations where i'd normally light up. Overall feeling good, and while this hasn't been easy it's been manageable. At least thats my opinion-man
