There are body memories that may be triggers. Soon these won't be big triggers, they will fade and fade and new experiences will take their place.

NOPE 🤎

Big O

Nicotine is pretty much gone from your body after three clean days. Three days is a great accomplishment. Celebrate your freedom.

yes, the adage, 'Move A Muscle, Change A Thought' comes to mind.

oh dear, just in time for a spanking, I see. Somebody needs to let Doreen out of The Fun House ! I'll sacrifice myself for the cause. 13

Bump for our fabulous newbies who are still hearing the whiny idiotic voice of the addict. All you can do is identify the lies and dismiss them as not useful to you anymore. You are a free person now !

I am so happy for you Koder on your Five Years of Freedom ! thank you for hanging out here, your NOPE is always a bright spot. Celebrate wildly ! You quit smoking !

NOPE 🤎🤎🤎 (I would rescue that spider and fan him/her dry)

we all know what the de-tox is like, sugar. be sure to reward yourself, this stirs your brain to administer endorphins The Significance of Rewards (this link is not from The Great God, Joel Spitzer. It is my humble offering.)

understanding timorous hints

oh, I have missed this game ! I notice guffaws

I chewed all my spikes up when I quit almost seven years ago, lol. Chew on railroad spikes, they will give you extra iron and power, baby. Tomorrow will be another 24 hours under your belt, every minute counts right now. Stay as focused as you can and remember ! YOU HAVE QUIT NICOTINE !!! celebrate, darlin'.

Michael, Your quit is very young, very young. You may experience some craves that come out of the blue and may be quite ferocious. These are the dying embers of your active addiction, some brain receptors haven't been switched yet. As time goes by, these thoughts will fade from aggressive to annoying to pffttt. Also, the first year brings seasonal triggers so, expect these. and really, throughout our lives triggers may pop up at particularly stressful times, a drama, a loss. These should serve as reminders that NOPE is the way to stay free.

Congratulations, Babs on your EIGHT years of Freedom. Thank you so much for quitting, sweets ! You carried the torch for me and so many others. Have an awesome celebration. S

Here is an introduction to Joel Spitzer, Greetings From Joel Spitzer

You, like us, are nicotine addicts. We cannot have just one. This is impossible and if you listen to the addiction instead of the Truth, you will remain a slave.

Congratulations on your quit, Michael. Hold on to your commitment with everything you've got. Your craves and urges and triggers will pass. Stay focused and reward yourself for beating this.

YES.

Using Deep Breathing As A Safe And Effective Quitting Aid Crutches To Quit Smoking Do Whatever It Takes To Quit Smoking

You don't need any replacement. You need to stop the ritual. Try deep breaths, always available and oxygen is a wonderful drug, a life affirming pleasure.

Revisited this song by Tony Joe White today and found a cover by Etta James. What a beautiful song, well, of course, Tony Joe White...wouldn't expect anything else... and Etta....well...Etta.

Lovely weather for YOU, sweet Doreen. I have a neighbor like yours...he is in his early 50's and his morning ritual of smoking and hacking, coughing lasts at least half an hour outside. It is disgusting. and I remember being just as disgusting for so long that I didn't even hear my own coughs anymore. I am so relieved and happy to be free also.

I love this man. I think he is marvelous.
