NOPE!

NOPE!!

Thank you all. Window lickers- chicks and sticks. I forgot all about it. Learning to be a golfer and I genuinely suck at it. Watching the hurricane pass us by right now. As for quitting- keep marching. I feel so bad and still point people to the site but it’s harder for them…I laugh. If I made it, everyone can make it.

@bakon .... nice to see that you are enjoying a smoke free life.

NOPE!!

NOPE

Don't Negotiate. Quitnet Repost, December 9, 2005 There really is no nicodeamon or boogy man that is lurking and waiting to jump up and make us smoke. But there is always that stinking thinking that rears its ugly head once in a while: the mistaken belief that smoking can enhance our plesaure or solve life's normal problems. That is False thinking. Smoking does nothing but make us want to smoke more. Not one puff ever! Gene don't negotiate-repost for new quitters From terri2005 on 1/3/2006 10:04:22 AM I don`t negotiate From terri2005 on 12/9/2005 10:50:38 PM The United States has a policy of not negotiating with terrorists. And I have a similar policy. I don`t negotiate with Nico-Demons. Its not that I don`t talk to the demon now and then. He still visits once in a while even with 562 days since his last feeding. But I don`t negotiate. We just visit briefly. `How ya been?` `Better without YOU! But thanks for asking!` `How bout a little puff? I can still get some of your favorite brand.` `Sorry demon. No can do. You see...I made this little decision this morning, that just for today, I wouldn`t take that first puff of nicotine. And I`m keeping my promise. And those are nicotine. Poison in a paper tube. Sickarettes. I`d be breaking my word. To myself. To my friends. To my family. To my friends at the Q. Go away. ` `I just stopped by because I heard about that little problem at work or home or with your health or your love life . You could use some cheering up. Just one. Nobody will know.` `My work is wonderful. My home life is the best. My health is better than ever. And my wife loves me. Go Away...` `Wow! Things are good. Let`s celebrate with a sickarette!` `Maybe tomorrow. Catch me just before I wake up, ask for help, and give thanks for another great day on this wonderful planet. And for waking up smober healthy, and ALIVE! Who knows....ya might get lucky. Now go away.` `How about a drink? I`m in good with the Alcohol-Demon and he owes me a few favors...` `I bet. Go away. I`m going fishing.` Listen up newbies... A few short years ago I sat in the hospital being shot full of steroids and epinephrine just to keep me breathing another day. The x-rays showed COPD and the Dr. said the smokes were killing me. I couldn’t get up my stairs to go to bed, much less hunt and fish. But I kept negotiating with the demon, and he always won. Today...I`m off to the high mountains of Montana for three days in the wilderness. My new lungs are a real joy on the steep hikes and 7000+` elevations. And though I`ve gained a few pounds, I feel like a million bucks. And I no longer negotiate with the demon, though we do talk now and then. One day at a time. A conscious decision upon awakening. A simple prayer in the morning `please help me, just for today, to stay away from that first puff of nicotine.`. And in the evening, out of common courtesy, a simple `Thanks` seems to work. And above all, I don`t take that FIRST puff, one day at a time. I won`t be here to watch you this weekend. I won`t know if you take that first puff or not. But you`ll know. And the demon will know. And if you open that door, just a crack, he`ll be in like a flash. He`s fast. And he`s cunning, baffling, and powerful. All you have to do is refuse to negotiate. When he shows up...send him packing. Tell him to come back tomorrow. And don`t take that first puff, just for today. This is what the demon doesn`t want you to know: If you don`t take that first puff, one day at a time, it is impossible to fail! If you don`t take that first puff, just for today, you`ll absolutely, positively, be 100% guaranteed to go to bed as a WINNER tonight! troutnut1

Reviving an old thread. A lot of cute, presumably nonsmoking bunny rabbits at Japan's rather famous Rabbit Island near Hiroshima.

Going to be another sunny day in Ottawa.

CongrAtulations 12 years is awesome.Stay safe.

Happy anniversary @JustSomeGuy!

Congratulations again @JustSomeGuy on your AWESOME quit!

Congrats @JustSomeGuy!! 3 years already; Wow! Isn't it great not to even think about smoking much anymore let alone being a slave to it daily?

Thank you! No apologies... Always happy to be here. Thanks!

Cute video from female Japanese punk rock band Shonen Knife featuring lots of cats, presumably all non-smokers.

12 years and 2 days. Doorbell reminded me. No thoughts except lot of marijuana smokers here. Not that I am 16 again and they do make gummies. I could never smoke with them because of this group. Hate to reset. Have to stick to beer. Guess beer googles are better anyways with how super ugly these old people are. Wrinkles on their wrinkles in Florida. Just kidding There aren’t super ugly- just regular.

NOPE!!

Congratulations Genecanuck, on 1 month smoke free. This is a great accomplishment and deserves a sweet reward.

You are actually spot on here. What has been a full time work before to battle with addiction is now gone. I am starting to feel more energy and I do realize I need to do some changes in my life and constantly improving all areas of my life. Because what this addiction did to me, was to shift my attention only to nicotine and also lower my energy. So all I did last years was trying to quit my addiction but now I can finally live my life. I never want to have these chains again in my life, ever.
