Deep Breaths, several sighs of relief, Friends of old and new, the warm and soft glow of this forum screen Yes it is home to a weary off on off on smoker, especially no that it is off again. How you all been doing ? I was so happy to see you all were still here. I am Cherry again ! Got a new job Supervisor of Maintenance with Burlington coat factor will it s just "Burlington" now I walked into a super crew and Manager, making good money, i thought it was time to stop punishing my self and get off of the smoking wagon again. Talk to me I missed you all so much/

Congrats, Jillar. Looking forward to working with you.

Yes this should be the final quit, I really like it when I am not smoking, in fact this time around I really didn't enjoy smoking. I smoked for the Nicotine mental fix, and now that I am good again I can let go of it. Thank you Linda & Jill

Oh I am SO happy to hear this news, congratulations Jillar, you are perfect for the gig ! Does this mean I will get demerits for forgetting the next word in 5 Words ? I'd better pull myself together. We love our Mods, Doreen and Jillar....excellent crew.

I went to a thing called "Wine Over Water" in Chattanooga a few years ago. I was just there because a friend's band was playing on the main stage. About half the folks there seemed alright. The other half were pretentious jackasses. Some lady was talking about tasting decorum and said the big question was: "spit or swallow?" Nobody else laughed and I knew this was not my kind of crowd.

nope, not today!

NOPE

NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE

thank you brothers and sisters

G’day NOPE to start my day

I was just looking at my 2019 Ashkickers logo, and I realized something--2019 is winding down! What the heck? Where did the year go? This time last year I was deep in the smoking habit, still trying to hide it from my family, feeling an almost constant sense of urgency and desperation for that next smoke.. Now I'm almost 9 months smoke free, and cravings have dwindled down to only the very occasional nagging thought, easily pushed aside in favor of a smoke-free existence.. If you are early in your quit and struggling with the daily grind, don't despair! It gets better. Before you know it, you'll be wondering where the heck the time went, and you'll be so happy you kept your resolve in those early days. Freedom is fantastic!

NOPE is the life for me!

NOPE

Welcome back, Opah! Congrats on the new job, and congrats on quitting smoking again! You'll make a much better impression at your new job smelling fresh and clean instead of smelling like an ashtray! You got this!

Welcome back Opah. Glad you decided to quit again. Smoking does not have to be a part of life's roller coaster. So happy you landed on your feet and found a good job.

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

NOPE - I don't smoke anymore.

G’day NOPE for today

NOPE

I see it! It is a big blob of color!

Still nothin!

Gday in the southern clime it’s spring.... and Magpies

@Boo and @Linda Thomas I just slowly make my eyes go cross eyed and when it starts the pop out I then focus on it.

Was it hard to walk with flippers on your feet? Or are you good to go cos it's like ya snow shoes

Oddly enough, there were a considerable number of peeps strutting around all dressy & what not It was frickin' outdoors on a warm summer's eve. I'm not dressin up!! Flippies on my feet, shorts and a T-shirt and quite comfy thank you very much. I had no idea having a pickle up your arse was a requirement for attending the wine festival lol.

I always feel like I'm missing out on all the fun with those pictures. I've stared. I've refrained from blinking. I've tried blinking rapidly. I held the picture close to my face and moved it away. I held the picture away from my face and moved it closer. And still...I haven't seen a damn thing. What the hell...lemme take another look.

Welcome back Oprah- good to see you again and glad to hear about your job! You know the drill... The NOPE thread is still... head on over first thing in the morning and get your forever quit you’ve had your eye on all this time. Get ‘er done!!!

That happened to me the other day! I found a lighter in the pocket of a coat I hadn't worn since last winter. I was immediately triggered and had to battle some nagging thoughts for the next 24 hours. But they were just that--nagging thoughts. Not hardcore cravings. Much easier to resist. But still annoying as heck!

Beautiful, inspiring post, Abby ! I am so happy you built yourself a solid and sturdy quit. The benefits will continue to manifest in your life as self esteem and self confidence reign. You can trust yourself and really enjoy this freedom you have worked so hard for. Stay focused, don't expect but, don't be surprised if a trigger/crave pops in out of nowhere. These would be the last dying embers of a once active addiction and have no power, no power at all. You own your power, now, just watch it grow.

Glad to see you back ... You know what's needed ....Take smoking off the table ...no matter what... Read everything again ...you must have missed something ....you can do it ..

Opah ! So glad you're claiming back your Freedom. You'd better watch out... @Doreensfree has her cast iron skillet ready to get you back into shape ! Change your quit date so we can start celebrating ! Any issues ? Go back and watch, read and LEARN everything again, the truth of addiction needs to be imprinted on your brain. Then you will have the tools to build yourself a sturdy and permanent quit.

Glad to have you back Opah, lets do this this time And congrats on the new job

I'm currently attempting to organize my home office, but as you can see by the number of posts I've made in the last few minutes I'm not getting far.

Setting at my new desk at my new job, Being Happy !

Wow! She's gonna LOVE that gift @Boo

Nope!

I see I'm spitting the advance $ with @Linda Thomas, @Boo , @reciprocityand some for @Doreensfree (who can only see 'certain' ones).

Lol...me too... I've learnt another language...found myself a toy boy ...what's not to love here ...

I want the ducats up front and then I will tell you what I see. Love ya, Saz

Boo, I am right there with you. I can't see a thing. What we lack in one area, we must make it up in another!

@Boo, hold it close staring right in the center of the pic as you SLOWLY move it away. Make sure to keep your focus right in the center until you see it start to go 3D. After that you can move your eyes all over the pic to check it out

NOPE...

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