G’day NOPE .....Not One Puff Ever.

NOPE…

I played in bands when I was younger but not as much anymore. Now it's just the occasional open mic night, playing whatever fits my mood in the moment. I've played in bands ranging from country rock to ska to metal to punk rock. That's so cool about your musical family. My dad was the only other musician in mine. I tried banjo once but I was so used to the way a guitar is tuned I really had trouble adjusting. I even tried one of those six-string cheater banjos that are made for guitarists one day in a music store. It was fun and it sounded cool but I wouldn't be caught dead playing it at a gig for fear that an actual banjo player might be in the audience and stab me for disrespecting the instrument Thanks! This week I've truly felt good for the first time since August.

Nope not today

NOPE!

It's been a busy week and I haven't been online much. I have, however, kept to my commitment of not smoking and I've surprised myself at how little time I've spent thinking about it while I've been busy. I know I'm only two months in, so I'm not going to let myself get too complacent, but I had a pretty big accomplishment last week - I went to a bar and played at an open mic night. I wasn't sure how well I'd handle getting on stage without a cigarette to prepare my nerves and one to calm myself down afterward, but when the time came, I wasn't even thinking about that. Even with nerves and a healthy amount of beer in my belly, I still didn't smoke.

NOPE!

Or triple dip (as in my case at this moment). lol I was a member at one time coming here after QSMB went down. When NOPE 365 was hacked I saw that scattered members were seeking info here (& on another site). When it came back up I wanted those here to be made aware of it so I rejoined here to post re it (forgot my original password & name). And yes, I encourage everyone starting out to educate themselves on their nicotine addiction and to use any tools & resources available to themselves which includes being active accountable participating members of a support group(s). Whatever it takes ... . (I actually was a volunteer certified facilitator for the Amer. Lung Assoc. to teach their smoking cessation class at one time.) Coming up on 13 years FREE and I have absolutely no desire to ever go back so my pledging & everyday participation is something no longer necessary for me but it's always good to know that while I'm out living my life now that my "nests" are always (hopefully) still there if need be. Stay free everyone!
