I am saying NOPE to smoking for today.

Good Morning, NOPE!!

Wonderful accomplishment and I would bet great memories. I was an avid hiker on multiple sections of the pacific crest trail. And other fairly grueling hikes for multiple day and week adventures.

Nope! Don't wanna turn the beach into an ashtray😡

NOPE for today!

N.O.P.E. 🙏

I'm glad you're home. Before you even get out of bed each morning, start with a positive affirmation. It can be something simple like, "I'm glad I don't have to smoke anymore." Attitude is a big part of quitting.

G’day NOPE .....Not One Puff Ever.

NOPE

NOPE!

N.O.P.E. 🙏

SD. Thank you. I woke up to a beautiful morning with a clean attitude. Trying to decide what I can do that won't affect my physical recovery and keep me occupied for this mental recovery. I think I'll take my dog swimming. KTQ

Congratulations on 1 month smoke free @Pilgrim Great job!

NOPE!

NOPE!! For Tonight Mount Olympus- Washington, Olympic Range .

Thanks girls I appreciate the comments more than you know. Time for a walk.

Thanks all. Knowing my lifesavers are out there really helps. Just listing comments adds confidence and the ability to redirect a crave. I remember these nasty ones and the "battle within" that has to be dealt with. TIME. I will KMQ today.😎

Glad you are home now Stew! Those cravings will go away, you know that, so just stick with it and come on here every day, if you can! You know the drill. You will do it!!💪👍

Glad you made it home Stew and I bet you are too!! Unfortunately our addiction does not care a tinker's damn what's going on in our bodies or what the state of our health is, in fact it's a perfect time to attack us with cravings, when it believes we're at our weakest. Good that you actually realize what's going on there and still have the will to deny those powerful cravings. That's a great sign that you're ready to beat this thing on a long term basis. Keep busy, stay occupied and good health to you!

NOPE!!

Thanks so much Cat. I am "slowly" staying busy changing an old flower bed to include a new Magnolia tree.

YAY! 1st Month is the toughest @Pilgrim and you're through that now. time to celebrate your initial accomplishment then reflect on the work that still lays ahead. Keep focused on your goal and remain determined - you'll make it

So happy you are home. Just take it a day at a time, stay busy, stay positive. Your health is everything.

NOPE!

Your cravings returning home to your safe haven after such a traumatic experience is absolutely understandable. And since you DO understand the why, and know that time smoke free makes it "eventually" better I wish you patience. Keep moving through them, whatever it takes to come out the other side of this addiction. You've done it before ... rinse, repeat. Welcome home!

NOPE

I am saying NOPE to smoking for today.

The cravings really DO hit hard don't they! I'm glad you didn't cave in! It's good your wife is also going down the path of possibly quitting in the near future, it will be good for both of you. You've so many more benefits to gain from quitting and giving in to your cravings will just make you feel horrible, not just physically but mentally too. You can do this!! 😊

Well done on one month free @Pilgrim Keep it up, you're doing amazing!!

NOPE! 💫

In ancient Greece (469 - 399 BC), Socrates was widely lauded for his wisdom. One day an acquaintance ran up to him excitedly and said, "Socrates, do you know what I just heard about Diogenes?" "Wait a moment," Socrates replied, "Before you tell me, I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Triple Filter Test." "Triple filter?" asked the acquaintance. "That's right," Socrates continued, "Before you talk to me about Diogenes let's take a moment to filter what you're going to say. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?" "No," the man said, "Actually I just heard about it." "All right," said Socrates, "So you don't really know if it's true or not. Now let's try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about Diogenes something good?" "No, on the contrary..." "So," Socrates continued, "You want to tell me something about Diogenes that may be bad, even though you're not certain it's true?" The man shrugged, a little embarrassed. Socrates continued, "You may still pass the test though because there is a third filter, the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about Diogenes going to be useful to me?" "No, not really." "Well," concluded Socrates, "If what you want to tell me is neither true nor good nor even useful, why tell it to me or anyone at all?" The man was bewildered and ashamed. This is an example of why Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem. It also explains why Socrates never found out, that Diogenes was banging his wife.

Came home from the hospital last night and was attacked by some cravings. It's so screwed up! To this point my quit has been fairly easy going. I understand I am just through Heck week, but right after all of these life changing events and to even think of smoking HUH? The cravings kept coming back. WTF. I am safe and through it for now but just Dam. I clearly saw myself smoking and know what the pain would be like in my chest, and that JUST THE ONE could JUST KILL ME. That is romancing this addiction, even when death is at your door!!! I believe the ride home in my wife's car, even though it doesn't smell and we didn't smoke in our house or vehicles, just being confined there must have been a scent that set it off? My wife still smokes but not at home or anywhere around. She covers the smell well. She doesn't leave to smoke but the knowledge is surely dangerous. The same as the last quit she will at some point become complacent that I am quit and relax her rules. She has started reading Allen Carr's Easy Way. I can only hope she keeps moving in the direction she is going and gets serious. The good. These deeper breaths are an addiction in themselves, and my sense of smell is definitely coming back for the good and the (crap that stinks) bad. Or should I say that crap sure stinks.🤢 KTQ.

Good Morning NOPE!! There'll be no puffin today.😎
