Just now I posted a NOPE on the pledge page for Friday, although for me, in Pacific Daylight Time, it's only 2:30 pm on Thursday. It occurred to me that it's such a happy thought to be able to post the day before that I won't be smoking, that I know that I won't be smoking the following day. I can trust my own word now. Distance from the quit date gives confidence. Every day quit is a bit more confident about staying quit. Although at this point, I'm virtually 100% I will remain a nonsmoker for the rest of my life. Happy thought.

Yaaa....I know a good tune to dance around your handbag.....

Oh wow, did we go back in time? lol NOPE!

I don't think you're being a hypochondriac @jillar. Better safe than sorry. And what is with these people who wear their mask under their nose? This virus has revealed more about humanity than I would ever want to know...

It is a happy thought Kate and it makes me thrilled to see people get their forever quits. Especially the ones who struggled so hard You are a total asset to all who don't succeed in their first attempt to show them that perseverance and self discipline is all that's needed to succeed

Do y'all like your champagne served at body temperature? I can warm it up until a couple of drops on the wrist feel just right. I'm picking up a lot of new skills lately.

Congratulations on your first month of freedom.

Congratulations Michelle! Time to celebrate and treat yourself, you deserve it!

ooh, somebody knock that girl over so I can steal her shoes !

@Sarisaac Hey I am also one of the newbies that was mentioned. Quitting smoking can be scary, but you have done this before and you have a great support system here if you utilize it. We are all here cheering for you and are here if you need us. Post often and do your research on nicotine addiction, just read, read, read in those first few days and stick close to the boards so if you need us we can be here for you.

@Doreensfree you trend setter...pulling the votes for a win.

I am not interested in chasing you down, Lily. Either you will quit or you won't. But, for you and other eyes out there struggling with a decisions to quit, I would like to put this video in the thread and a short essay from Joel at the end. I know I will quit again “I don’t know what happened. I just went back to smoking. But I know I will quit again.” I often encounter similar remarks from people who relapse to smoking. While the smoker may not recognize what led to the relapse, the reason is obvious to anyone understanding addiction. The person took a drag on a cigarette. While the situation that causes the first puff varies, the end result is inevitably the same. The first puff causes a second. It may be a minute, a day or even a week later. In some extreme cases even a longer time will pass. But the length of time is not important. The addictive process has been set into motion. Either the smoker becomes hooked immediately or gets a false sense of confidence leading to another drag, and still another. Eventually the addiction will be reinforced, and once again the smoker is hooked to the deadly substance–nicotine. So what about the idea that the smoker will just quit again some other time? There are two flaws in this concept. First, the smoker may never again get the desire, strength or opportunity to quit. When dealing with deadly substances, death may result and, sometimes, without advance warning. But, often, the smoker does have the opportunity to quit again. The only problem is that if he didn’t understand what prompted relapse the first time, the odds are he will make the same mistake again. Once again he will face the same problem–addicted and unable to quit smoking. If a person is enslaved in this process of on-again-off-again smoking, he must take time to consider what his particular problem is. His past attempts failed because he refused to treat cigarette smoking as an addiction. It is said that those who don’t learn from their mistakes are doomed to repeat them. Nowhere is this more evident than in dealing with addictions. If he doesn’t consider the consequences of taking the first puff, he will take it. And once again his noble attempt will be wasted. Smokers and ex-smokers must learn from their own or better yet from other people’s mistakes. Quitting smoking is worthwhile if you are able to stay off. All the physical, psychological, social and financial benefits will last only as long as you remain free of cigarettes. If you don’t smoke now, great! You understand your addiction. If you do smoke now, quit. You too will overcome the powerful grip of nicotine. Then, all you need to remember to stay permanently free is NEVER TAKE ANOTHER PUFF! Joel
