G’day NOPE .....Not One Puff Ever.

Thank you for all the good wishes. I was dismissing rewarding myself, well, you know...after 12 years... but, splurged and bought myself a rug I've been lusting after. Now, I have a concrete reminder of my accomplishment. Y'all, please remember to reward yourself, to mark all dates important to you. At the beginning, I rewarded myself minute to minute by stashing the money I would have spent smoking and with little things that made me happy, like a sit in the sun or listening to a piece of music, wetting my brushes. These rewards are super important to re-enforce your quit with healthy driven endorphins. Thanks again to everyone here. S

I've done the strolls around the parking lot as well. One of the things that was a "don't quit" excuse was "what will I do at work without my smoke breaks?" And then I thought, "Why do I need to smoke? Can't I just go outside for ten minutes and not smoke?" I agree. Mine is still, obviously, in training, but I think you're right. It's the biggest weapon smoking has against us but it can be turned into the biggest weapon we have against it. Thanks! So far, so good!

Quitting Girl! Thank you for the celebrations and so happy you are here herding the cats AND keeping your precious quit.

Doreen! My beloved Smut Sister. Thank you for everything you do, you make a huge difference. Please take good care of your sweet self. Reci! Very nice to see you. Thank you for well wishes and congrats on your quit also.

That's exactly what I did when ayt work and started getting antsy .. go for a stroll, even if just within our small office area or outside in the parking area for a couple of mins.; just enough time for the intense crave to pass (they don't last that long normally).

So I've been busy the last week or so and haven't been posting, but I want to let you all know that I'm still smoke-free and doing a little bit better with the depression stuff. It's a gradual process, I think, but recognizing that it's just my brain trying to trick me into smoking helps a lot with my ability to deal with it.

N.O.P.E. 🙏

Nice one @Sazerac (Big Easy 🎉)

Yup; our junkie brains are our worst enemy at times in our early quit days but you know what? Those same brains can be retrained to become our greatest protectors once we've been clean for a longer period of time
