Some things are being lifted so, there is a bit more activity on the street. Most wearing masks and practicing social distance. I love not seeing people and will be sorry to see 'civilization' come roaring back besides the tragedy of Covid. 2

Hey G ! How's everything in the city of Angels ? 2

What are your plans for facing down a trigger like seeing your smokey friends ?

Ahh, The Triumphant Chicks ! Nice to have the sticks back in The Fun Room. Thanks, my lovelies. and a BIG 0 to start the day.

When you are tired of obeying the lies of addiction, when you truly see those lies for what they are, you can start to build a successful quit. Take this one moment at a time. With each crave and trigger faced down, your resolve will strengthen. Re-visit all of Joel's work. Etch NOPE onto your consciousness, your sub-consciousness. Maybe this post will help, Decisions/Resolve Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your quit ! also, 10 Ways To Effectively Use This Forum To Stop Using Nicotine

Onerous work negotiated

Great to see you toceveoD ! and so happy to hear you have kept your quit. I quit drinking for a while when I first quit, when I went back it was not a big deal. NOPE was etched into my soul and I didn't experience a crave or a trigger. But, I know with the relaxing of inhibitions things can go wrong so, protect your quit. Protect it with your life.

Congratulations @ekptr on your NINE months of Freedom ! Thank you for your update, it is wonderful to learn you are still free. Things will continue to get better for you except, the stench of tobacco may remain repugnant and the horrors of smoking always apparent. So happy you quit !

Thinking of you, bebe. So sorry you are going through this pain and also idiocy of roomie. Sending you noise cancelling headphones and art supplies, speedy healing and all the well wishes in this round world. We love you, kiddio.

NOPE ♥️

Hey @Kate18, so glad you held your ground and so proud of QTrain for talking you down. Remember, your quit is still so young. Protect it with your life ! Here is another take on H.A.L.T, I still think HALT to myself...now, not about smoking but, about other things, it helps me stay current with myself and figure out what may be going on. Riffing On H.A.L.T. and have a stroll through Red Flags. It is full of the lies addiction presents to woo us back. You may have your own to share. Stay focused. REWARD yourself ! Especially after facing down your trigger/craves yesterday The Significance of Rewards

There's a full moon (with a penumbral eclipse) in your neighborhood, July 4, just sayin'...

NOPE ♥️
