G’day NOPE!!!!

Well, day 4 now and still going good. I had to chuckle last night after posting about the banner. After posting I thought, "Time for a cig now." That wasn't a craving, it was just a habit thing after spending some time on the laptop. The habit side of this is very powerful, like all addictions I suppose.

NOPE - I don't smoke anymore.

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

NOPE

NOPE!

Just look at how much I've saved already in my ticker - £13.86. That must be a brand new World currency created just for me. I'm honoured. It looks like a fortune don't you think?

I have had the best time ...watching you grow day by day ....and your such a massive support to all that ride the train ...

There's an issue using the pounds money symbol. It adds those wacky symbols in front of the money amount for some reason. For now, you could just redo the ticker in your signature (delete the one you have now and redo it) and use the $ or the Euro symbol instead. Those two work and you'll know it's pounds you are saving. I see Doreen's ticker shows $ and she's in England.

Huge congratulations, mightyboosh, on blowing through the first three days, and if you're already chuckling about smoking thoughts you're way ahead of the game. So glad it just "clicked" for you and you knew it was time -- that knowledge and determination will carry you through. Keep up the great work and good humor!

NOPE!

Wow, they look amazing. What was the event? Anyway, I am a pie expert of world renown and they look the business. When I say of world renown I mean I should be recognised as such but everyone just laughs when I claim that. What's wrong with everyone with their mocking tone?

I've just walked around the park, a couple of miles, and stopped four times to allow my leg to calm down. It took about 45 minutes so I'll do that as often as I can and compare times. I know that just 5 days ago, before I quit, it would have taken much longer and have been more painful. It's quite useful this strange oxygen stuff.

I was ruminating earlier today, at least that's what I call it when take a brief break to just stare off into space for a little bit. Got to thinking how eventful the last three years have been. Things have been happening fast and the next year is looking to hold some big changes personally and professionally. Not coincidentally, three years ago is when I decided to quit smoking. There were a few factors at play when I decided to start making some major changes in my life. However, quitting smoking was the catalyst for change that set off a chain of events that transformed every facet of my life. Anyhow...I was going to write a post about how the process of quitting can set off a ripple effect in your life. Then I remembered that I already wrote a post like that.

I will always remember you all as part of my support group to stop the cigarettes . I wouldn't have made it without you. Didn't even think i could do it ,but coming up here everyday doing the daily nope and collaborating with people that had the same goals as me pulled me through. It will be 2 years December 12th. I am a firm believer that groups like these really work if It worked for me. I thank everyone from the bottom of my heart

I haven,t heard this ...but it's good to keep a check on your blood pressure as your quit grows ... Quitting helps your body in so many ways .... Love your ticker ...

Quitting smoking should lower your blood pressure some. Have yourself checked once you've been off the smokes for a while. For some reason, I used small mint candies, little peppermint things that looked about the size of a headache tablet. Filled with sugar they were but they kept my mouth busy. I quit using those a few months in and haven't had one since. It was weird because I never really liked peppermint candies before.

Yes, it does Phil lol. And yes, the habit is much harder to overcome than the actual addiction in my opinion. There's just so many times over the course of so many years that it was 'time for cigarette'. That's why we have the one year commitment. It's a pledge to yourself that you will stay on the board for one full year minimum to get you past most of the triggers you'll face on a regular basis. I took it and many, many others have to. It's pinned to the top of the main forum if you want to check it out

Now, you start to confront all your triggers. Your brain's reward system has been gangstered by nicotine and you will resume control one nicotinic acetylcholine receptor at a time. How Nicotine Works (there are a bunch of good videos embedded in this thread) Your Brain Beating A Crave and The Significance of Rewards (it is very important to reward yourself for every crave conquered ! ) This quitting smoking business is a journey with unexpected rewards and delights. As you learn and understand about nicotine addiction, you will have the tools you need to succeed. Congratulations @mightyboosh, you quit smoking ! It is great to see your NOPE !

Today my neighbor and I started our 6: 30 AM walking ritual - we went 6 blocks (3 there and back) and was a good 20min walk for our 1st time. Came home and drank a protein shake to help me maintain the weight. So glad we started this. I might even add 1lb arm weights for tomorrows walk.

I am having all day craves. For the second week in a row, Monday has started with me wanting to fold on the quit and I am fighting mentally for what feels like the whole day to keep from going to the store for a smoke. This Monday was easier than last week, where this went on until well into Wednesday. The good news is that the end of the week and the weekend are getting almost easy. I read a lot of the websites saying craves will come and go in minutes and that isn't the world I'm in right now. I know that seeing cigarettes as the horrible things they are is the key. Being glad I'm quit and free from the addiction - and at good times I'm all over that. Spend this weekend exercising. Swimming and also pulled my old bike back out and rode for 3 miles on Saturday (to come home gasping for air and wanting the whole "lungs coming back" thing to go faster). But in the bad times, like today, my brain just cannot accept that cigarettes are the enemy and I torture myself for the full day. I've got my eye on day 50, coming up next week. Then day 100 beyond that. Somewhere along the way these cravings will stop.

I am so happy for you and may the benefits of quitting smoking continue, Boo. Quitting smoking was the catalyst for change that set off a chain of events that transformed me, too. Well, not Every facet of my life... Quitting smoking didn't transform my marital status for which I am ever gratefully single. lol. But, the changes have been quantum none-the-less and the thing is now, I know how to change. I have the skills to identify where change is needed and the skills to facilitate change, I also gained the trust in myself and self-confidence to meet these challenges. I love seeing this in other quitters, too. It is remarkable to witness.
