Nope to smoking and Nope to the puppies - 3 are enough

NOPE!

N.O.P.E.

NOPE!

NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!

The cigarette is the problem not the solution. Cigarettes lead to smoking. Smoking leads to addiction. Addiction leads to "needing" a cigarette. The only problem solved by the cigarette is the problem created by the cigarette.

Nope. Smoking is not an option.

NOPE - I don't smoke anymore.

G’day NOPE starts my day C

Kate, I'm glad you made it through this tough craving and you did all the right things in order to get past it. Well done!! These early battles with our addiction are emotionally difficult for us. The more of those battles we put behind us, the more we have invested in our precious quits. After each one of these victories, it becomes even more important to get by the next challenge because to lose all that personal investment always results in a feeling of personal defeat. Right now, you're a shining light not only to yourself but to others as well because despite the challenges, you're doing it! You're smoke free! You want to stay there and we all want you to stay there too. Please remember that these lies your addiction is still telling you in the middle of a strong craving are just that - LIES! That first puff is followed by dizziness, coughing/choking and then the sudden realization of what you have lost, not to mention you're right back at the start again. Don't ever be a slave to this addiction again. Fight as hard as you have to and as often as you need to - don't give in. You can do it

NOPE!

Gday here is a NOPE to start the day C

Well done on not smoking Kate, stick with it and remind yourself of the reasons you want to quit.

NOPE

NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!

Well done Kate!

Good girl for posting and talking yourself through it. I think you are experiencing a little panic attack, which is just a part of the quitting process. Kate, you have made it four days. The worst is almost over. I promise it will get better each day. Every time you resist that desire to smoke, you become stronger and more powerful.

Kate ....Take some good deep breaths ...this helps to calm you down .... Look at all the positives ...there are no negatives ....you are doing fabulous ..... Don't look ahead ....tomorrow and the days that follow ...don't matter ....just today.... Tell your self your body is going through massive changes...and it will all pass.... Stay strong ...don't lose your amazing quit ....

You did all the hard work Kate, have a great day at work. You're doing awesome!

Feeling calmer. The patch must be kicking in. Intrusive thoughts are not as strong and I can redirect my focus. I'm looking at my ticker. I avoided 80 cigarettes so far. That's a lot of damage avoided. Plus the money saved. I don't want to be back to telling myself that I'll quit after this pack. OK. Calmer. Leaving for work. Will still check in at lunch to read pledges and discussions. Thank you Jillar for answering my SOS and the reminders of good things to come

Good Kate, I'm glad you're feeling a little better. Yes, take us on all your breaks and read, play games, socialise and especially post all your frustration here. We're a great sounding board And don't worry about coming off the patches, you have plenty of time after this initial first month to worry about that

I also logged into Quittrain on my cell phone so that I can check back on my lunch break. On lunch break there is ample time for me to go and buy cigarettes and smoke. If I stay in the store break room with my phone and reading QT, I can get through the work day. That's right, I'd forgotten about the hell week. Of course, I'll still be going through it later, when I phase off the nic patches. But at least I'll have a month or so time to change habits. I am feeling calmer.

Look at that awesome four days, you're almost done with hell week

Thought I'd share a Christmas make from years ago that we use every year that 3 of the weans and me made way back...?

Sslip is prepared for all weathers .!!!

Jo, I can't believe there is no selection for different approaches on different days!

You should of just did a selfie.....

NOPE

NOPE!

Yeah, what Boo said. That cigarette will not "restore emotional equanimity and give you relief" That is all a lie brought on by addiction. Good for you in posting an SOS and making it through this rough episode. Please, though, do not buy into the lie that a cigarette will do anything at all good for you. Accepting the fact that cigarettes do nothing good for you at all and that you are completely better without them is a big part to a successful quit.

NOPE - I don't smoke anymore.

Full-cut boxers here. I do wear briefs sometimes when I'm working out. Particularly if I'm boxing, running, or doing any plyometric exercises. Need a snug fit to keep the meat and potatoes from banging around down there.

NOPE...

The only way past it though is to go through it. Tell your boss and coworkers that you've quit so they'll cut you some slack. Suck on candy or drink something sweet to help with the anxiety. I know you want this because you posted. We all are proof that you can get past this hardest of weeks.

Whatever you wear guys !!!!....make sure it fits !!!...this is not a good look !!!...

@Cbdave one of the dangers of free balling

Nope!

Oh !!!!......I'm kinda disappointed...thought itt was more interesting ....never mind ...
