NOPE!

N.O.P.E.

Trust me @shy, Discovering your normal, non-smoking self makes all the struggle to get there well worth while and once you're there, it lasts for life as opposed to the short period of experiencing quit symptoms.

NOPE

G’day NOPE .....Not One Puff Ever.

@Reciprocity thank you for the kind words of encouragement. Your right before I even smoked I considered that normal and I want to discover that person again. It has been challenging I did break the pledge today but I start now with everything in me to beat this addiction no matter what comes my way thank you!

Chiming in as well @shy ... You have done well to quit booze & weed and now having a goal to be smoke free is also admirable. You've had much great advice here from others already and I concur that the first while quitting can be the most challenging but it does get better and better providing you stick with it. You mentioned you felt that the reason you cling to cigs may be because they were a part of you when you considered yourself to be normal? I understood what you're getting at with that statement and it's likely a valid point but think of it this way ... when you were very young you didn't smoke and THAT was normal. We all got into somking for various reasons growing up and quickly became hooked by the addiction. It's a terrible addiction that plays every mind trick in the book to keep us hooked. So understand that and be prepared to resist with all you have in you. once you break free from the addiction, you will then be back to how you should be. No longer controlled by this addiction. That Freedom is the greatest gift you can possibly give yourself (and your neice). Get rid of all your smoking material if you haven't already. You can smoke what you don't have. Then make that unwavering commitment to never take another puff! We call it N.O.P.E (Not One Puff Ever). We even have a daily NOPE pledge page on this board. Why not join in there. The purpose of that thread is to pledge that you will not smoke just for today. That's how you'll make it to freedom ... one day at a time

Hello Shy, welcome to the quittrain. Please read as much as possible about nicotine. I can understand you find it hard to quit given your mental health. But what about disconnect them? Our addiction told us that smoking is a reward, helps with stress, etc. But it is just the addiction talking. Nicotine does nothing good for you. The beginning will be tough but doable. The way you feel early in your quit is not how it will be forever. You soon will notice improvement. Focus on that!! Also your young niece deserves a non-smoking aunt.
