Greetings NOPErs... today is a double dip day .... but only cos we have quite a few lads and lasses who will get a kick out of one of these... so down under in my kitchen we will be celebrating the wonder that is Make Your Own Bread Day.... as I'll be making a lovely vienna loaf and also a cheese and garlic pull apart... love making my won bread.... but 17th of November is also Take A Hike Day.... so @BKP, @Sslip, @Boo and all you others... and I know there is a whole legion of QT members who are up for it....even our own @StewieTech take a Hike today, breath the fresh air and celebrate life with smoke free lungs. Melbourne has amazing hiking spots... cliffs, ocean trails, bush or temperate rainforests....we get it all people... Dandenong Ranges are nice (below)... but my spots the Otways... NOPE .... can't wait to hike without a smoke... just need to energy levels to increase.

So who's Ivy? My Mom! She's 98 years young today and still living on her own in a 3 story house. So, what's the connection with this smoking forum? It's not just because she's my Mom and she's awesome but, she smoked for roughly 20 years back in the day when the majority of people smoked. I can still vaguely remember her and my father smoking when I was a young kid. They both quit the cigarettes at some point but my Dad took up cigars then - they finally did him in or at least contributed to his demise significantly. My Mom ended up having battles with 2 different forms of cancer probably 30 years apart from each other. She beat it both times so, there you go if you are looking for inspiration to begin your quit or maintain an established one 98 and still fit as a fiddle, relatively speaking is clearly doable . Her biggest issue is her hearing. I was never aware that her TV volume button went to 70 until the last time I visited her place. No wonder she rarely answers the phone when I call her She refuses to get a hearing aid because she says; "those are for old people"!

Hang in there MLMR! I am right behind you. Week two and I think it's much better now than this time a week ago. I know what we're up against. Was was free from this 11 years ago for a whopping 5 months until a tornado decided to blow through our town and take everything. My biggest regret is taking the first drag...the first of many more. Right now I am starting to feel a new sense of pride that I haven't had about something for a long time. I know it is a long journey but we'll get there.

Horney toad still here....or it it Doorbell....whatever....Boo is still ringing my bell !!!!..... Over 5 years now smoke free....and lovin it.!!!! Making fun of the sticks ...with my little chicklettes..... Supporting the newbies... Congrats to your son... Regards to Mrs B....a warrior..... Oh ya....about time you showed up here.....lol....

Gday What else for today but NOPE? C

Thanks for the shout out Jane. I have just completed my 6th day smoke and nicotine free. At the moment I don't look any further ahead than the day I'm in. I'm feeling excited, proud and loving my new life. A new year is just around the corner and I'm going to be starting it a non smoker. That for me is a dream come true ?

Nope. Smoking is never an option.

G'day NOPE A simple start C

My Quit Date: 2/10/17 Time: ? Location: Urgent Care (health clinic)Parking Lot Reason: Dr at the clinic said I was having a stroke! Off I went to the hospital...come to find out all those years of smoking did a number on my arteries!! Oh, there was more fun to come in 2018 so it was good that i quit when i did! Current Status: Pain in the ass reformed ex-smoker, Stroke survivor, CABGx3 surgery survivor Something Good: Just booked a vacation to Naples for May 2019 (that's Florida, not Italy!)

I drove school bus for 30 years. Do you know how this brings the memories back. I can truly say that most of the window lickers grew up to be pretty awesome people.

Congratulations @sgt.barney for being 7 years smoke free! Well done, 7 years is such an inspiration to those coming behind. Thanks for sticking around and sharing your wisdom and guidance. Hope you do something special to celebrate your anniversary. Seven years certainly calls for one of Jane's glitter bombs.

Congratulations @Kdad for being 2 months smoke free! Well done Kdad for being smoke free for 2 whole months. You are going so well and I love your psychedalic NOPEs everyday, just keep NOPEing and before you even realise we will be welcoming you to the Lido deck. Well done too on the support you give to others around the boards. So, rewards are important, we know you have got a cleaner in, nice one and I bet the missus loves it too, but you need to do something special today to celebrate. Would love to know what you choose to do.... something fun I hope.

Next week (11/20) will mark 5 years! I quit cold turkey because “ it was time” i have had 4 grandchildren since I quit! I retired from my real job, gained 25lbs and decided I was getting to fat and went back to work.... I’m still too fat., maybe i need different job. All 4 daughters, 8 granddaughters, lone grandson and various son-in-laws all doing good. I’m not saving any money since I quit smoking... I’m spending it!! Since I quit I have been to Pompano Beach, twice... Marco Island, Sanibel Island, and Fort Myers Fl.... on top of that we take at least 1 trip a year to the Outer Banks N.C... our 2019 house is reserved for May... talking about a second trip in October. There will be no inheritance for the kids! in 2016 my wife suggested we buy a new Mustang Gt... I really like that woman! ? i need to buy a Harley so I can ride to California with Bakon... maybe the wife will read this.. ?

Nope! Cuz Rhino is looking to us for inspiration so we gotta show him it's doable

Congratulations @Pumpkin for being one month smoke free. Well done Pumpkin. So I know you had to go into pumpkin protection towards the end of October but Jack O'Lantern season is now over and we would love if you could pop in and give us an update of how you are traveling. I hope you are still rewarding yourself with lots of smoke free cuddles to the blind dogs at the shelter. So one month is fantastic, do something special to reward yourself.

He likes being single. He is 38. He had his heart broken years ago. I also don't think he will find a girl now because he has stinky ferrets as pets. He has promised me Thanksgiving will be fun this year. He says if Grandma gets out of line, he is going to let his stinky rodents loose!?

Nice to have my mind transported to the River Clyde in Glasgow this morning Weegie.

I'm so thankful for your encouragement everyone I am out today but will update you all tonight ?

Sounds like you will have no trouble enjoying your first Smoke-Free holiday season! I would even say that you'll be coming here to tell us what a relief it was not to have to run off every hour or so to feed the beast! You are in for a real treat this year Linda - more time spent with your loved ones and a chance to show off the New You

Leading by example for 7 years! Nice job Dino

What was the question?

^^ Worked for me... just worried about 1 day at a time.... and NOPE.

Congratulations @TobacNO for being smoke free for 2 months. Well done TobacNO... hope everything is going well with your quit and you are getting strong with it every day. We hope you are doing something special today to celebrate being 2 months smoke free and would love if you dropped in to let us know how you are going and how you rewarded yourself.

I've never heard of him @Doreensfree but hopefully he'll have a trouser splitting show for you ?

I never heard of Proby, googled him and, well well well....no wonder you are a fan, Madame Toady Toad ! "Proby's UK career lost momentum after controversial live concert appearances including two trouser-splitting incidents at shows in Croydon and Luton in January 1965 that scandalized the British press and public[4] and led to bans"

How confusing... Two lots of chips...I will have to be clear on my visit...which chips I actually do want ...otherwise I could get anything lol...

Special unicorn rides today. Way to go one ball window licker. Line to ride forms behind the pig.

The best flavour chips are chicken... always my favourite... and we even have 'chicken' salt that we put on hot chips.... OK think I better clarify... in Aus we call crisps chips and we call fries chips... see... Anyway in Australia chicken flavoured chips sell more than any other flavour... these are my faves... But these are the kids favourite.... We even have chicken flavoured popcorn....

.

Glad you got your hair even if it did take a few years. I quit at 10:15pm on Sunday, Memorial day weekend, May 29th, 2016. I'm currently still in my living room and I've just sent out a BOLO to the state of Floriduh Florida for next week.
