NOPE!

Thanks again for all your support and encouragement, gang. It's been a rough few days and today in particular I found myself craving a smoke more than once. I had to remind myself that it won't help my situation... especially after I've come so far. However you, me, we are suffering, putting nicotine into our bodies ultimately packs more suffering on top of what's already there... all we have to do is remember what it was like. Not that first exciting cigarette, but all the ones that follow... being completely addicted and dependent on getting that regular dose of nicotine. Being a slave to it. Remembering that state of existence keeps me resolute in maintaining my quit.

NOPE!

When Forest Gump passed away, he arrived at the Pearly Gates and stood in front of St. Peter. St. Peter said, "Welcome, Forest. We've heard so much about you." Then he said, "But it's getting crowded up here, so now we have to give people a little test before letting them in." "Okay," said Forest. "I hope it's not too hard. My momma always said, 'Life is like a final exam. It's tough.'" "Yes, Forest, I know. But this test only has three questions. Here they are." 1 Which two days of the week start with the letter 'T'? 2 How many seconds are in a year? 3 What is God's first name? Forest smiled and said, "The first one is easy. The two days that start with 'T' are Today and Tomorrow." St. Peter was surprised but said, "Well, that's not what I was expecting, but you have a point. I'll give you credit for that one." "Next question," said Forest. "How many seconds are in a year? Twelve." "Twelve?" St. Peter asked, confused. "Yes, sir. January 2nd, February 2nd, March 2nd..." St. Peter interrupted him, realizing what Forest meant. "I see. I'll give you credit for that, too." Forest smiled and said, "And the last question, 'What is God's first name?' It's Andy." "Andy?" St. Peter said, shocked. "How did you come up with 'Andy'?" "I learned it in church. We used to sing about it," Forest said, singing, "Andy walks with me, Andy talks with me, Andy tells me I am His own." St. Peter opened the gate to heaven and said, "Run, Forest, Run!" ★¨•♫.•Pass it on! Give someone else a reason to smile. ♫•★

NOPE…

@Pilgrim; you're gonna absolutely LOVE your life of true freedom once your quit is better secured and those nagging thoughts of having a smoke are completely non-existant. It happens slowly but it DOES happen so yeah, stick with it and keep that thought of Freedom in your head particularly when you get those cravings to light up. It just ain't worth it! And I can tell you that the junkie part of your brain may be fading now but it will still jump up and bite you in the ass every once in a while over the first several months so always be on guard - ALWAYS!

There is no such thing as .. Just One Think of all the thousands that follow .,, We are Nicotine Addicts 🐸

You are absolutely right @Pilgrim... but please examine your thoughts about the that first "exciting" cigarette you had. Was it really that exciting? Did you love the taste of the hot air burning your lungs? Did you really love the feel as you probably wanted to gag a bit after that first puff? Did it really feel like a lot of fun? Probably not. The nature of the addiction is that our brains trick us into believing that a cigarette was responsble for creating this imaginary exciting pleasure. That' really the brain distorting the truth. It is false evidince that appears real. You are doing amazging in our quit but I offer abit of advice. Please re-examine that belief you have about the excitement of smoking a ciggie. Its a form of romancing the smoke which can be the cause of a future relapse my friend..... the next frontier for you to overcome in your quit process is to overcome this false thinking. This is what is needed now for you to maintain a long term quit. Keep up the good work.... you are doing aweseome. @Pilgrim ... give this a read. From an old mentor of mine in Quitnet.... he responded to me when I was in the midst of glamorizing and romancing a cigarette..... RE: Dangerous Thinking----Help From danl1 on 9/21/2004 8:56:09 AM No buttkicking for you today, because weakness is not the problem. Never was, really. The only problem you have - or ever did - is that you believe that smoking has a way to improve your life. It does not, and the last 107 days have proven that to you if you'll only pay attention to the lessons. Chances are you are "romancing the smoke" - remembering it to be an enjoyable thing to smoke. IT'S NOT. The things you were doing while smoking - say, relaxing or socializing - were good things, but the cigarette did not enhance that experience at all. Take a moment to remember the first cigarette you ever smoked, carefully, fully, and honestly. Nasty, Gross, Dizzying, and Nauseating. I've never met anyone who honestly said differently. Cigarettes never changed. They always were and still are perfectly horrible things. It's only a mistaken perception - one that nicotine helped form - that has you believing that they are any good. It was the things surrounding smoking that were 'good', and cigarettes only stole credit in your mind. It is an error. Stop believing and you will end the desires/urges/cravings. That's the only way they can form.

Lovely! It's the best place to be. And it only gets better, and better, and better. And then you look back and you laugh and you think- that's what it was, that's how easy it always was, to quit and stay quit. Just beware of the tricks your mind plays on you, because you know, like a spoilt child it wants its gummies.

No thank you 🤣🐸

johnny5 Quit Date: Nov. 16, 2014 Posted December 13, 2020 First off, I'm curious if these negative people you are talking about are smokers. I know that when I was a smoker, I often got defensive when one of my smoking friends attempted to quit. I didn't try to sabotage their quit but I definitely felt threatened. Looking back, I realize that I was envious of people who were trying to quit and might possibly be successful. If these people who are negative to you are smokers, fight past their negativity and realize that they might just feel threatened by you quitting smoking. If they aren't smokers and are just jerks, then try to use their negativity to prove them wrong. Don't let them bring you down. I know that is easier said than done but realize that smoking will not make anything better. The trap I always fell into when trying to quit smoking was feeling that smoking somehow calmed me or helped me cope. The reality is, the only thing it did was feed an addiction to nicotine. Introducing nicotine into your body actually makes you more stressed and doesn't make anything better. Nicotine really does nothing at all positive for you. It is all negative. Dealing with a--holes is tough but smoking will not make it any better. It is best to fight through these type of situations. Every time you fight through them, your quit gets stronger.

Well done! For quit vaping, I strongly recommend trying PuffStats. This app has been incredibly helpful for me it made it easy to track my habits, set goals, and see real progress, which kept me motivated and made quitting much more manageable.

@Pilgrim I know it's not easy and this is my 2nd and last time quitting because who wants to go through withdrawal again!! Certainly not me!! Ack!! No way!!😬 Twice was enough!! Just take it one day at a time because that is really all you can do at this point. What methods are you using to help you stay focused and with withdrawal symptoms?

Definitely need some of this !
