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.

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. ♫•★

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.

Wow, fireworks! That's awesome, Doreensfree, thank you. 💙 - and thanks to you as well, Johnny5! This gesture has made me feel welcome here on a new level. I appreciate the encouragement from you all. We understand what we're going through in this community.
