NOPE!

Great job @Charmaine H Congratulations!

Congrats @Charmaine H 🥳 Isn't it amazing how our perception of smoking changes so dramatically once we've been quit for a number of years? When we smoked, we couldn't imaging not smoking. It seemed so important to us then yet once we've quit for some time we wonder why we ever wasted so much time & money doing something that was so unhealthy for us and commanded all out time & attention. Glad you're FREE now!!!

Congratulations @Charmaine H 3 1/2 years is amazing! 🎉You are doing really great! Celebrate big!

G’day NOPE .....Not One Puff Ever. Lorekets

Today makes three and a half years since I quit smoking. The time has really gone by fast. I am enjoying every minute of it. That part of my life is in the past now. I am looking to the future. I have come too far to go back to that nasty habit. I am so proud of how far I have come.

Congratulations @Charmaine H 🥳 3 and a half years is amazing! It must feel good to saying that part of your life is in the past now! You worked hard to get to where you are now and it has paid off! 😀 I'm glad you're proud as you certainly should be! 😊

Gday 13 years….. Got to be happy with that!

Congratulations! 🥳

Happy Lucky #13 @Paul723!! So glad that you’re living your best smoke free life!!

We can't say for sure but one reason you've been able to enjoy some of those things you mentioned doing in retirement was likely due in part at least to quitting. I know I've spent $$ travelling since I retired that otherwise would have been spent of cigs. That's just one of many things that makes quitting such a great idea!

It's a good thing I'm not afflicted with triskaidekaphobia and an even better thing that I haven't been smoking the last 13 years! I've been thinking that our addiction to nicotine trained us to constantly respond to withdrawal. This site can help people to train themselves to quit. Constant repetition of NOPE is a good start. There is some heavy lifting involved early on but it gradually gets easier over time. Our quit muscles grow stronger every time we tell ourselves that smoking is not an option. We find that we are a lot stronger than we thought we were. Training myself to quit and stay quit is one of the best decisions I've ever made. I'm now retired and happy about it. I'm finding new things to interest me and enjoy that. My last patent is pending and should issue soon. Janet723 is doing well and is helping our granddaughter buy a house. We have traveled some and have plans to do more.

Congratulations 👏 🎉 on 13 years smoke free, Paul. That is awesome 👍 😎

Wow! 13 Years Quit!!! You're a teenager again😁

Thirteen Years is Awesome! Keep enjoying your Freedom!

Welcome @Britt and well done for making the best decision you'll ever make! 😊 You've mentioned you've previously been here, that's great so you'll know that everyone here is supportive and there are lots of threads you can read to help you. I'd recommended pledging NOPE each day if you think it'll help! 😊 Wishing you all the strength and determination you need! 💪
