Relived every day

Individuals nearly gorged

Alternative motor engine

Caught knitting socks

Inventive novelty games

Greatly underestimated youth

Incredibly loud yodeling

Haven't even noticed

Increasing over night

Curious kittens slip

NOPE !!

I just conquered another trigger for now. I was out driving in my jeep for over an hour without any cigarette cravings. Even though I would always smoke in my vehicle while driving. So, I won this time.

NOPE

I know this is not a blues song but I came across it and I wanted everyone to see the message in the video.

Not only is this a great song but the video is freaking incredible. Check it out.

I truly like this post from Sazerac. A quite few years ago I tried to quit and did it by slow weening myself off them. I got to the point where I was down to none. I made it a couple days without a smoke. I wasn't totally committed and didn't have the support I needed. So, I decided to just take a couple drags from a cigarette and that I would still be able to quit. That turned out to be an epic fail. The difference between then and now is that I'm and totally invested in my quit. I also have a great support system set in place. I am starting to completely buy into the whole NOPE ritual. The second biggest difference between then and now is I don't have one of the biggest triggers anymore either. I decided one day 17 years ago I no longer wanted to drink alcohol any more. I didn't have a problem with alcohol but did make very poor decisions when drinking so I just stopped. So, What it all comes down to absolute commitment , a strong support system and hard work.

I first got exposed to Stephen King while a sophomore in high school. I read Firestarter and I was hooked. Some my favorites are The Shining Needful Things The Dark Tower The Stand It The Green Mile & Dreamcatcher to name a few

Welcome Lordy, I so glad you joined the group. Anything truly worth doing is something you have to work hard at. I myself just currently quit after smoking for 37 years. I am currently on day 8. Just hang in there and we will do this together.
