Greetings fellow NOPErs... today is one of those nothing fantastic days.... there are a few shout outs but none really make me want to give them a nod... so here goes... Video Game Day ... NOPE... but then again, video games are a great way to get through those early days of a quit when you need lots of distractions. Chocolate Milkshake Day .... NOPE.... not really into the milkshakes... don't mind a spider but milkshakes never really floated my boat... but then again, a nice yummy chocolate milkshake (with malt) could be a good reward for KTQ... just a nice little weekly nod. Quiet Day ... NOPE ... nothing to redeem this, I don't do quiet... QUIT day now that would be a goer... So if you want to celebrate one of those special days have at it, me I'm just gunna.... NOPE .... cos nothing tastes better than freedom.7 points

I am 8 months also and agree with what Sslip states. At this point I am somewhat comfortable with my quit but not totally confident. I feel I have much to learn still with 44 years of smoking behind me so I know there are still hidden triggers that I have to on guard for. I waiting to get through the next month or so (big time of smoking "enjoyment" from this time of year, end of summer beginning of fall). I fully expect to make the turning point -- but taking it one day at a time and realizing how far I have come!!6 points

Gday Yes I quit with Champix. Like others have said it's a tool you have to supply the motivation to remain quit. Not One Puff Ever is me. Im nearly 3 years into rest of life quit....I've gained so much and never miss trying to kill myself with smoking. C4 points

For myself it was over a year when i got drunk and had no urge to smoke, i was afraid of alcohol that it would trigger me wanting to smoke. I had quit in the past which i had mentioned but i was also avoiding certain triggers. After meeting the triggers head on and flat out saying NO which we do our pledge of NOPE on here i felt confident. To you and sslip, at times even now for myself certain things pop up and I just learned not to reach for them. Thats the difference for me, I'll go for a walk or work out and accepted i had that addict brain and you know what ... Having an addict brain is OK. We're all human and are born to make mistakes.. @Sslip4 points

Some idiot is out walking a cat, on a leash, in the rain. Coffee in one hand, slippers and the dumbest part- smoking. My job is like living in Wally World.4 points

I don't want to sound cocky but I,too, knew the minute I put out my last cigarette. Then, again, around the 4 month mark, I told jillar that I'd see her on the lido deck?4 points

Although I was firm in my commitment to myself never to smoke again right from the first, I think it was about 6 to 7 months in before I really knew I had turned the corner on this addiction and that I had faced pretty much every battle it could through at me. From that point forward I was somehow just more confident that I wouldn't waver in my commitment to quitting.4 points

Yes, I quit using Chantix. It took the edge off the cravings, but I still had to do the work. You have to decide that there are absolutely no circumstances in which it is okay to smoke. Regardless of how you quit, you are going to be uncomfortable, even miserable on occasion. Scream, cry, rant, rave, run, dance, sing....anything but smoke. And you must remember there is no such thing as "one puff, or one cigarette." Thi s quit needs to become the most important thing in your life. Quit making excuses for yourself, asking how many times other people tried, and commit to your own quit!!3 points
