Some quitters may have trouble with the never/ever part of  NOPE (Not One Puff Ever).

 

To tell you the truth,  in the nascence of my quit, I  bluffed my way through never/ever land.
I remember Cristobal and Stuart qualifying never/ever with the caveat,  'just for today'
and that was the truth too, it is just about here and now.

 

As days and weeks passed,  I absorbed the truth about addiction.
Once I clearly understood addiction is forever 
and the brain's neuro pathways immediately re-connect  to addiction after one puff,
I embraced never/ever/forever.

 

If addiction was in my brain for the long haul,

well dammit...I was too
and I was going to Win !

bump for @HeatherDianne.  Use NOPE for one nano-second at a time, one crave at a time.

Carve it into your consciousness.  

Everything will become easier, please believe us.  We do not lie.

I want to include our friend, Joel Spitzer's video (and a link to resources) about this subject.

He uses the phrase, 'Never Take Another Puff' as we use Not One Puff Ever

Never Take Another Puff (resources)

and the video
