I just did a new one again but I cut and pasted the symbols rather than the banner. I know someone earlier said the opposite worked for them.

I've noticed a very insidious trick that the NM uses. Prior to quitting, the environment seemed full of quit advice such as literature at pharmacies, doctors surgeries etc. Now that I've quit, the NM seems to have sneaked around and removed a lot of it. Honestly, the day after I quit, my chemist's little health advice table was lacking in the usual stop smoking advice leaflets. Similarly with my doctor's surgery. To rub it in the NM has got into my sister's mind. Being an ex nurse she was always banging on about why I should quit but just before I did, I mentioned maybe giving up and she said, "Well, they're your lungs, it's nothing to do with me." I couldn't believe it. The moral of the tale folks is that the demon will never go away, it just adapts and morphs into an even more devilish entity. I just say, "Get thee behind me Nico Monster, I'm a NOPE guy."

We all know what it feels like but how would you describe it? For me the biggest factor of a craving is the desire to feel a 'hit' at the back of the throat. That's why I use very strong liquorice tablets and mints and they help. How about you?

I'm feeling good. I forget about it for long periods. I can't believe how much more energetic I am after only one week and a bit.

Ha, you're right. How long does this phase last?

I was tested yesterday following a heated argument where adrenalin levels were sky high. My brother was with me who had some smokes with him but you know what, it wasn't even an option in my mind to have one. I know that in previous attempts, I would have reached for one.

Last Friday was the first full day of quitting so a mini milestone. I'm doing fine with no mega cravings. I think what made the big difference is that I've no choice, rather than it being just a wish to quit. Claudication in the leg was the catalyst.

I know what the reason is. I didn't know this but I must be a Time Lord and have inadvertently stopped time for the tickers. The good news is that no one on here will age any more. I think that's the most plausible explanation don't you?

NOPE

You'll never catch me alive!

Have I come on here and jinxed the ticker? Doh! everything works fine then I come along...……………….

Oliver is a Maine Coon and weighs about 22lbs but he's not fat, just big. A totally cuddlesome and loving gentle giant. Oliver and Betty love boxes and wouldn't thank me for a plush expensive bed. Chubchub is part Siberian we think and is a boy. He's quite sparky.

I too copied the ticker directly.

I planned on waiting a month then seeing the doc with stronger cards to play now I've given up. They never said it directly but I got the impression that they would be unwilling to do much surgery wise if I wasn't going to help myself by quitting.

@catlover Have you seen my cats in the Non Smoking Cats forum?

I really like the taste improvement. I had a salad last night and things actually had flavour that I wouldn't have noticed previously such as cucumber. They just tasted like water before.

I've just signed out and in again and made sure the anonymous box isn't checked.

Nopey nopey nope nope.
