Reciprocity

Welcome Yippy! Now, get yourself onto the Daily NOPE Page and pledge your promise to yourself and us every day Not to take One Puff Ever. It really does help focus you each and every day. That's how you win the war. One battle at a time each day at a time. Slowly but surely you find your freedom

Welcome Octain! Sorry I'm late to your quit party but I had some sh*t I had to sort out past day or so. Great decision to quit! I did the same last January because I too got horribly sick for quite a spell. Just dawned on me that It really was time to quit the smokes. I started on the patch but dropped it a few days later and just went cold turkey. It doesn't really matter as long as whatever you do works for YOU. Yes, this quitting is pretty hard at times especially in the early days but it's totally doable if you set you mind to it, educate yourself about this addiction so you can outsmart it and then rely on the support from others that are doing the same thing you are. Thos are the key components and then your daily commitment to NOPE! That's the only MUST DO. Not One Puff Ever and you are free

Good job and yes, the extra time on your hands is shocking at first. Think about all that time you wasted and not only smoking but planing your smoking activities in your head. Do I have enough smokes to last until morning? Is my lighter about to run out of fuel? When can I get out for a smoke break at work? Oh wait, gotta go back to the house, forgot my cigs It's incredible how much of our daily lives were consumed with smoking related thoughts/activities.

Good job Berk! This is something you can completely control and make yourself very proud in the process. We're here to support you as you need it. don't be a stranger, particularly in the early days and pledge your NOPE daily

Sounds like you might be skating on thin ice, given your admitted association of smoking cigs and pot in past years. If your quit is top priority, which it should be, then tread carefully. That's my opinion but, opinions are like a**holes, everyone's got one

Nice work MD! You've hung in there through the hard times and I imagine you are pretty much into smooth sailing now. Stay vigilant for those odd ball occasions where something hits you out of nowhere. You'll soon be on that Lido Deck with all the other long term quitters. Congrats!!

Addiction at it's finest. Two smokes at once

Sent my thoughts in a PM to you Doreen but wanted to comment about Joel's message above. Jetblack mentioned yesterday about having seen a woman in a store with a hole in her throat and that being another motivator to keep the quit even without knowing if that was the result of a smoking related issue. It likely was related to smoking and i remember thinking, once I read her post, whether that woman was still smoking. This addiction can be powerful beyond description. Those of us who have "seen the light" and come here to share our quit with other like minded souls are blessed or maybe just lucky? I don't know which it is but the combination of our own efforts and the community as a whole is something very special! We should all be thankful each and every day we made the decision we did (quitting & coming here!)

I don't think so. No drama anyway.

Hoping she's just been busy with work, kids and life in general.
