August 20, 20206 yr After five months of looking and interviewing I finally landed a job! I accepted the offer an hour ago. I can't stand the craving....the association with something exciting I guess. How do you celebrate when you no longer smoke, vape, drink, do drugs....and youre on a diet....I think I've finally put the thought of *actually* going up to 7-11 out of my mind but I could still use some support!
August 20, 20206 yr That's wonderful news Michelle!!! You celebrate by splurging on your favorite restaurant or having an ice cream sundae just like never smokers would That is great news so why ruin it with nicotine?!
August 20, 20206 yr NOPE Why would you even consider poisoning yourself while you celebrate your good news ? A fleeting moment because of old patterns, sure, but to seriously consider throwing your quit and failing yourself ? NOPE NOPE NOPE
August 20, 20206 yr Author NOPE NOPE NOPE IS RIGHT I'm feeling better after posting. I'm filling out onboarding paperwork and am planning a big sloppy bowl of ice cream tonight
August 20, 20206 yr NOPE is right. Nothing is worth smoking over. Congratulations on your new job. Do something positive to celebrate this event. A new job and a new life smoke free are great things.
August 20, 20206 yr Author I'm starting to feel better. The power of fellowship around a common goal is magic
August 20, 20206 yr You should be super proud of yourself Michelle for caring enough about yourself to post for extra support to keep your great quit 🤗🤗 Well done 😊

One of my biggest fears when I quit smoking and drinking was that I would become a dreadfully bored malcontent. Those fears are gone. I have no regrets. Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.
