G’day NOPE .....Not One Puff Ever.... (replace Ever with Min,Hour, Day as required.) possum

NOPE!!

No smoking for me today!

Hello, guys and girls! It seems that today is the day! I have had several failures before, therefore am quite nevrous about success. However, what needs to be done, needs to be done. Maybe you have some tips for first few days - i know these are the toughest (at least have been for me so far)? Toms

NOPE…

NOPE AGAIN! There are some days it amazes me I'm still tempted to smoke. It's a fleeting temptation, easily waylaid when I remember what it took to get free, but every now and again, I have a few seconds where I think, "Gosh, it would be really nice to smoke." And then my brain starts to think, "I mean, could one really hurt? I quit before. I could quit again. Once really isn't that bad, is it?" That's when I know I'm really starting to lose it, and I do my best to remember the little kid who, at 11 years old, thought he could smoke once just to satisfy his curiosity, and never smoke again. He maintained a fascination with smoking that finally overtook him at 21, and for the 17 years after that, he couldn't get away, even when he wanted to. It took popping a lung to wake him up to how dangerous smoking really is. Not. One. Puff. Ever. AGAIN!

NOPE!

NOPE!!

NOPE!! THANK YOU...

NOPE!

NOPE…

Nope!

I was in the hospital for my first four days, which made my quit a lot less stressful, apart from the whole "collapsed lung" bit. That said, I slept a lot, and I watched TV a lot. I tried my best to keep my mind busy. When I got home, I threw out every little scrap of smoking paraphernalia I could find. After that, I ordered a big bag of candy--Skittles, if I recall correctly--and used those for my oral fix. I let them melt in my mouth, rather than chewing them, for the most part. Anticipate that you will not feel great, but if you can think of it as the sort of discomfort that heals you, I think that helps. Just like your muscles ache during a workout and that doesn't feel fantastic, but you know you'll be stronger in the long run, you can think of the headaches, insomnia, stomach upset, and anxiety as something to endure--or alleviate, if possible. If you are successful in passing through that gauntlet, the good news is that you'll never have to go through it again, so long as you stay quit. Every little discomfort you face on your quit will get less and less intense as time goes on. You may have minutes that feel like hours and days that feel like years. Those are the days where it's helpful to stay busy, to avoid stress as much as possible, and be on your guard against the temptation to smoke. Eventually, the days will feel more like days again, and the minutes will pass, and you will feel less and less inclined to smoke. Then, you'll come up on a "first," and you'll feel like smoking again, seemingly out of the blue. Here's an example for you: I recently had to go to the DMV to renew my driver's license. The last time I'd done that, I was a smoker, and I sat outside the DMV puffing away, waiting for my number to be called. This most recent trip, I had been quit for 16 months, but all of a sudden I felt like smoking again. Why? Because it was my first time in 17 years that I'd gone to the DMV as a non-smoker. You will experience a lot of those. First holidays. First family emergencies. First heartaches. It can be frustrating, but with each victory, it will be easier and easier to say "no" to those cancer sticks. "If you're going through Hell, keep going." The way out is through. Put in the time, endure the pressure, and claim your victory. If you smoke, you won't have to face the discomfort of quitting, but you'll still stink, you'll feel the physical effects of smoking, and you'll have that worry in the back of your mind about every little ache and pain and bump and blemish that crops up, wondering if your habit has finally done you in. If you endure the discomfort of quitting for a little while, you won't stink, your body will start to repair itself (however slowly), and over time, you'll worry less and less about those aches and pains, for the most part. Today's the day to make your choice, for today. Tomorrow, rinse and repeat. One step at a time, one hour at a time, one minute at a time, one second at a time.

Here's a good thread to start with: Your First Days, nicotine Free - Quit Smoking Discussions - Quit Train®, A Quit Smoking Support Group There are loads of information on this site to read about every aspect of quitting and a lot of experienced people to help you along.

NOPE for today

I pledge NOPE for today 3/19/25

It works differently than NOPE 365. You select the thread with today's date and type in your pledge. There is also a button in the text box where you can upload an image to your post.

I’m trying to find the pledge . I think I found it but can’t figure out how to do it, pls help thank you, Paula

NOPE!

NOPE

Does anyone happen to know what happened to Nope365 I have been a member since Quitnet folded and have made a daily pledge for years. Now all I get is an error message?

On the main page, scroll down 4 thread titles from the top until you see the title "The Daily Nope Pledge". Click on that to open it and select the appropriate date for today and make your pledge

Yep! Great site here and all are welcome to join us in our daily pledge and any other part of the site here. Lots of quit info. here and a great group of peeps so ... why not join us

Sorry to hear your site is down. You're all welcome here to use our daily NOPE thread. We have a whole forum just for it. And for those of you newly quit there is a ton of information about our addiction as well as tips to help you along your way on the main forum so check it out too

I've been trying to figure out what happened as well... I had done the daily pledge since I quit smoking almost 3 months ago

I still can’t find the pledge. I couldn’t even upload a picture. It’s the same picture I use on all media and it wouldn’t accept it. Pls help

There is a NOPE pledge section on this site, organized by date. Feel free to pledge there if you wish. I do hope NOPE 365 comes back. A lot of us here came from when QSMB (quit smoking message board) shut down. That type of shutdown is horrible. Hopefully it is just a software glitch and the site will be back soon.

I have been pledging every day since my quit in 2015. I miss it too. Hope it comes back!

At least since Sat. the 15th. I've been quit for quite a long time, but I go on every day to pledge, habit I guess, but I miss it!

I am also a member over there but don't go very often. I just checked it out and also see the error message. How long has it been down? Hopefully this is just temporary.
