Sunday NOPE!

A lawyer was involved in a terrible car crash, the rescuers pulled him out of the wreck but he was ranting about his vehicle! “My Car!!!! Look at my car! That was a limited edition Lamborghini!!!!” The Rescuer shook his head, taking in his suit and briefcase that he saw earlier, realising what he did for a living. “Man, you Lawyers are all the same, so materialistic! You don’t even realise your left arm’s been ripped off in the crash” The lawyer glanced down at his now missing arm and screamed: “My Rolex!!!!! Where’s my Rolex!!!!!|”

I somehow missed this one. But wow!!! 13 years is awesome. 🥳

Congratulations on your 13 years of quitting smokes and thank you for all you do for us all.

There are a few glitches, the Logon/Logoff buttons aren't there, neither are the messaging and many other things, but eventually everything will be fixed. Unfortunately, computer stuff takes a lot of time! 🙄

Gday Literally in the last week. They are just tidying up the last odds and ends. Same mismatch mob still catching a ride.

Thank you Peeps 😁🐸

NOPE!

Hey @Pilgrim. Good on you for being accountable for the relapse and coming back here to resume your quit. We've all been there. Glad you're back! I agree with those who have observed that the reason for your relapse is not especially mysterious. We smoke - and we relapse - because we are ADDICTS. Once we truly reckon with that fact we realize that there is no alternative but to take smoking/vaping 100% off the table. It is not easy, especially for those of us who were heavy users. But, at the same time, it can become deceptively "simple." In the words of some wise quitters here on the Train: When cravings strike, there are 1,000,000 things you can do in that moment. There is only one thing you cannot do - stick something in your face and light it on fire. Once your latest nicotine binge clears your system and you come into acceptance of these facts, the struggle does not magically disappear. But it does fade into a kind of background noise. No more dreadful withdrawal symptoms. No more shame from failed quits. No more roulette with your health. No more killing yourself so that others might profit. Won't that be nice? You can do this. Time to grab that freedom with both hands!

Well; not to be mean but I hope it really sucked when you realized what you'd done and all those promises you had made to yourself were broken. The only positive thing is that you are still here and willing to quit again. If you don't learn a lesson from what happened then you're bound to repeat it at some point down the road. It's very important to learn a lesson from any failed attempt. That's the only way you can correct/avoid it in future! Where did you get the smoking material? I thought did you said you'd got rid of it all back in early May? Did you not do that and actually take the time to go buy more? If that's the case then it wasn't just a temporary, fleeting impulse thing; it was something deeper that needs to be corrected before you'll ever be able to quit permanently. You KNOW you can do it @Pilgrim ! You did it for three months then threw all that hard work and emotional turmoil out the window and now that was all just a wasted effort - what a shame😖 Anyone & everyone CAN quit but only those that are truly comitted to having a smoke free future and permanent freedom from an addiction running their lives actually achieve that transition. You simply have to want to be free of your addiction more than you want to continue to smoke! It really does boil down to that. I hope that YOU are now ready to make that life changing commitment!

NOPE

Ghost Crab

I didn't know that was a hormone blocker, I thought they have something for lung cancer as well.

Sorry to hear that you relapsed @Pilgrim Hop back on and hopefully this time you will stay in your seat!! As Doreen said, re-read everything and watch the videos. Do the daily NOPE every single day!! In the beginning you have to, IMO. You must be getting annoyed at constantly getting the withdrawal symptoms? How can you stand it? Stop buying cigarettes or getting them from someone, get back on the train and be done with it!!! I know it's not easy, but everytime you go back, you will be back at square one which is the most difficult part of the ride. This can be done @Pilgrim You MUST set your mind to it, for it to work!! Make this the last time you go back to smoking!!🤞

NOPE!! for Friday

It's the 28th again? NOPE

Nope!

NOPE!

N.O.P.E. 🙏

I have been thinking about putting up a topic for quitters who aren't Newbies anymore and/or have been quit for over a year. Sometimes we do get cravings and/or thoughts about smoking, so we can put our thoughts and anything that happened to us after the initial one year. I will go first because I had a thought last night, I wouldn't call it a craving, so it was just a thought. I went out with very good friends of ours last night for dinner. And the wife of the couple who we are friends with smokes. When we finished dinner and left the restaurant, she lights up which is fine with me, I am not one of those bad Ex-smokers that complain that people don't smoke in front of me. Anyway, the moment she lit up, for a split second I looked at her cigarette and just went back to looking around. It really didn't bother me, which is good, but we are always addicts, and we cannot ever go back! That is why this site is so important.👍 I want to have this thread for people who are quit from a year plus. @MarylandQuitter Can you put this as a pin up on the top, so people can post here, if they had the same sort of situation that I did yesterday? I guess that's what you call it when a post stays on the top. Thanks!!👍

I still had weird thoughts, not exactly cravings, but thoughts about lighting up after my first year smoke free. I have also been someone who has had weird issues with smoking dreams where I would smoke and either feel good or horrible about it, and then wake up and, for a brief moment, wonder if I broke my quit. Then I realize that it was just a dream. I have not had a craving or serious thought about lighting up in a long time but I still get the occasional smoking dream that I remember after I woke up. Nicotine is a very addictive drug, both physically and psychologically. It is said that after the first few days nicotine free, your physical addiction becomes dormant, unless you consume nicotine again. You are still an addict but the physical cravings aren't there. I I believe that is true based on my experience. I think the psychological addiction is the long term threat that does, sadly, lead some ex-smokers back to smoking. You have certain memories or associations that are linked to smoking and some people unfortunately let their guard down with the whole thought of "one smoke will not hurt." After you have been quit for a while, you have to watch out for that occasional psychological thought coming out of nowhere. Those thoughts are not often but they are what you need to watch out for long into your quit. Guard your quit, even years into it.
