NOPE for Tuesday

NOPE...

NOPE!

nope

2nd NOPE

Nope

Nope!

Gday NOPE starts my day C

I don't really subscribe to fluff or tough. Just the facts will suffice. Quitting is simple. Smoking offers nothing positive. Every "reason" to smoke is just an excuse to get a nicotine fix. Keep it simple folks. There's no point in making straight lines crooked.

NOPE!

Nope. Smoking is never an option.

I think I am a Fluffy... dunno figure you catch more flies with honey than vinegar... doesn't mean I don't care when someone looses their quit... just .. oh I dunno... maybe its the big sister in my, I just want to do the gently, gently... I always try to find something positive... ironically if I was to SOS personally the foot up the arse, tough love approach would achieve more in keeping me quit than the hand holding approach.

@Linda Thomas you are most definitely a toughie! (A tough lady that is) I love watching you quit! A true inspiration You can't quit and smoke at the same time. It's one or the other. (And one=all) The only true way to quit smoking is to stop putting the dang things in your mouth and then Never! Take! Another! Puff! Education on nicotine addiction builds a firm quit foundation.

Is there one song, or a few, that reminds you of your quit journey? Post it here, it may help someone else

NOPE.......no ta ?

NOPE!!!!!!!!!!

Nope

NOPE!!

NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE

Sitting on the train with a festive gingerbread latte and a wee and I do mean wee gingerbread man...!!??

I will take fluffy, toughie and everything in-between. I have learnt in the last 24 hours it's hard to quit alone. Sometimes you don't appreciate your quit family until they're not there.

Thankfully ...I didn't have a relape here....I knew I had far too much to lose....but if I had ...I would have expected tough tough love ... I knew the Quit Train Peeps were watching my back ...No matter what was said ...

NOPE!

NOPE - never again!

NOPE!!!!!!!!!!

Morning NOPErs and welcome to another day of freedom. Today is World Kindness Day, kind of sad we need a special day for kindness but there you go. So Kindness Day isn't just a day to adopt all the orphans at the local orphanage, although that would be pretty cool if you could, it more about the little gestures of kindness. Smiling at a stranger as you pass, thanking your bus driver as you get off the bus, complimenting your neighbour on their garden gnome collection, checking in on a newbie you haven't seen for a while, or just letting your partner control the TV remote for the night. However you celebrate, just remember that random act of kindness you give, especially to a stranger, may be the only kindness they get all day or week even and you have the power to give someone a second of happiness just by being kind. NOPE .... cos I'm being kind to myself, its my new default

NOPE

Nah...NOPE!

Its all a matter of nope!

If you had One shot Or one opportunity To seize everything you ever wanted In one moment Would you capture it Or just let it slip? I don't even like Eminem (my husband does) but this song has some powerful lyrics.

Great job Say NOPE a bunch. Drink some fruit juice- blood sugar will be low. Nicotine releases it somehow and your going to be out of whack for a week. On to "bakon only advise". Nobody else will tell you this. ...ready. Notebook out.... outside of this group, not many will know the struggle of the first couple days. Not many pat on the backs. Good jobs are few and rare. So even your closest humans might not notice....as a result You must REWARD YOURSelf . Think of some little object you want but never pick up. An ice cream, a magazine, a hair brush, a book. Anything small and self satisfying. Buy it. you earned it. every day for first week you must REWARD YOURSelf. It reinforces the quit. It might be the only praise you receive on some days. Now when you leave house don't forget....NOPE and a reward.

I had this on my I pod...when I first quit....played it so loud ...and sang it loud ...it took my craves away.....Thank You Bee Gees ....

NOPE

The first day is done and I am giving myself a massive pat on the back and having my own little celebration. I'm really proud that I got through today. Mentally wasn't too bad and physically it was bearable. Only negative is I have a really big ulcer in my mouth which is so painful and no amount of Bonjela will help. Joel Spitzer has put together videos to watch during the first week which are on the link below. I watched all the Day 1 section today and learnt so much, plus it was a great way to keep busy. I'm now in Day 2. https://whyquit.com/joel/index-guide.html

Day 2 is done but today I felt a little less upbeat than yesterday. The ulcer in my mouth seems to have moved it's friends in. I can now feel a few ulcers which is making eating virtually impossible due to the pain. I'm drinking plenty but I think I really could do with a proper meal. I thought I would have some soup tonight but for some reason I didn't even enjoy it. I don't know if that's because of the ulcers, if my taste buds are changing or if it's the two tubes of Bonjela I have tucked in my cheeks. In a perverse way I'm actually enjoying what withdrawal is bringing. This is the worst quit physically I have ever had but I stuck it out and another day is done. I watched all the Joel Spitzer Day 2 videos today and gained more knowledge to keep me focused on the end goal. I'm now in Day 3.

Not really a quit theme song, but definitely one that I listened to a few times when I was getting myself wound up during the early days of the quit...

Gday NOPE starts my day C

The whole state has a pretty good chance at rain all next week so providing we get it, it will help a lot

Sometimes I have to get that frying pan out ...and give a good whack.... We agree....If you Take Smoking Off The Table ...Never Stick Anything In Your Mouth ,and Set Fire To It....youv, e found your freedom !!!

NOPE!

I'm scared to open these crisps. Anyone tried them?

@Lilly, I'll post it for you Great one!

Congratulations on getting past day 1 Lilly Now it's just a matter of repeating day 1 over and over again to get your forever quit. I read your blog yesterday and loved your quit song. So much so that I started a quit song thread in the social section if you'd like to put it there. Maybe it'll help someone else also

I miss you piggy... so does pork chop... we want you to come back.... ? ? ? ..... the house isn't going anywhere, the paint wont go off, come and play ......please.... pretty please with sugar on top.....

Start quitting today and don't quit on your quit. Tomorrow isn't promised for anyone; why let this chance pass you by?? Everyone deserves the freedom and happiness that comes with a solid quit. Please give yourself this gift.

And we can also agree that if Bakon was any dumber, he would be required by law to wear a helmet at all times.
