I am not going to smoke today. NOPE.

I had blocked the day I went back smoking again however it has now been unlocked so I'll share It was Summer and I was meeting a friend who I had not seen for months for lunch and drinks. I remember the warmth of the sun and feeling so happy and excited to see her. Before I had even arrived at our meeting point, I saw a store nearby and paused for a minute because at that moment I wanted to smoke. I didn't hesitate much which surprised me, I walked in, bought a pack and a lighter and smoked. That's the scary thing, I was happy, excited, life was good and I still managed to fail. I swore I wouldn't quit a gain as I didn't see any point but luckily I failed at that too because here I am! I don't believe it's harder for me to quit than for others however I do think those with an all or nothing personality can fail too easily. You're right, quitting is not the hard part for me, it's staying quit. Great post @Minnie Mouse

G’day NOPE .....Not One Puff Ever.

As Johann Hari would say, "The opposite of addiction is not smobriety ("sobriety"). The opposite of addiction is connection." Nobody says we have to quit alone. Support is a key tool to use in our "Tool Box". That being said, we must always be our biggest cheerleader. We are the only ones with ourselves 24/7 (positive self-talk mantras do help!). Nobody can do it for anyone else no matter how much we wish it for someone else.

NOPE

Very good post @Minnie Mouse The first time I quit I went back unfortunately after 6 years, but I do believe that if I found this site, I wouldn't have gone back because the support is wonderful, our members are amazing and thats why I believe the support I have gotten in the last almost 3 years, is because of you, (you all know who you are! ) Thankfully, I found this site! Support is the key!! Just like alcoholics, food addicts, drug addics, etc., if they have support, I truly believe that we all can make it.
