PUFF AWAY FROM A PACK A DAY NOPE PS the order of intelliegence from smartest to dumbest: Moron Imbecile Bat Idiot Sonic Window LIcker Anyone who believes anything above.
October 12, 201510 yr Author If you think you need one, don't post an SOS, go lick an ashtray and try to kiss someone. Cause that's what your breath and kisses will taste like to someone else. Too many "THINKING ABOUT..." it lately . Some paddling needs done. Regroup Rethink If not cancer, then do it to not stink to everyone else. You smell when smoking. Like the cat toys (turds) in the box. That bad. So fire up and make yourself unpleasant to be around. That will attrack friends and make you popular. The kool guy/girl. Besides it will help... Sure it will
October 12, 201510 yr It is a rare occurrence..Doorbell...understood all what you wrote.... Well put bakon....plain and clear...
October 12, 201510 yr I can't imagine a situation right now where I think smoking would help me... My wife wouldn't pick up a cigarette if she was stressed, so why would I? I'm a non-smoker after all :good:
October 12, 201510 yr I lost an eight month quit and quit again 15 years later...no such thing as just one...
October 12, 201510 yr The "Just One" Monster almost got me this morning. Thank God for responses to my SOS and a NOPE pledge. They saved me. Just One has ALWAYS taken me back to full time smoking. I am an addict through and through. I have never had Just One cookie, drink, drug, smoke etc. If you are tempted today please take a look at your past patterns and talk to us.
October 12, 201510 yr I lost count of all my failed quits...thinking !!!just one !!!! This kept me addicted for 52 years.... NOPE....I've finally learned...this IS the only way.....
October 12, 201510 yr PS the order of intelliegence from smartest to dumbest: Moron Imbecile Bat Idiot Sonic Window LIcker Anyone who believes anything above. Thanks for noticing that I've moved up a couple of notches from Window Licker B)
October 12, 201510 yr I once lost a 364 day quit for "just one"... 14 years later I quit again and I am not giving it up for anyone or anything!! Of course our minds have that little temptress moment...same one who assures me I can totally wear a minidress at my age...all laughable lies :) There is no such thing as one..I am watching two quitters around me not quit through justifying...it's terrible to watch...just don't smoke and it seems easier!!
October 12, 201510 yr I Want One! Video discusses how to stop the internal debate that often occurs after quitting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHvi6dwLanA Boy Do I Deserve A Cigarette For That! Video discusses the irony of how many people often feel that they need to reward themselves with a cigarette for getting through a major obstacle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xvrdjrPNHE&list=PL4F05C03D0F9B86DB&index=10
October 12, 201510 yr Thanks for noticing that I've moved up a couple of notches from Window Licker B) I don't understand..???
October 12, 201510 yr Some paddling needs done. well that's not fair! why do the windowlickers get the paddling? why should they be rewarded? :)
October 12, 201510 yr Maybe just one is not good for anything frankly, a cig, a drink, a cookie. It is a lie.
October 13, 201510 yr I can't do one. And I never believed I could. Maybe that has actually put me ahead of the game. If I'm in for one a day, I'm in for 15 a day. I don't WANT one. I want 15. How can you enjoy one? Doesn't make sense.
October 13, 201510 yr Duck didn't make the list Your insults just run off my back like... well, I can't think of a good metaphor.
October 13, 201510 yr This terrifies me. You own your own quit. RELAPSES ARE PLANNED. When somebody relapses, they were already planting the seeds and romancing the cigarette before they ever lit up. There may be one case in 2000 where this isn't true, but not enough for me to bet on. If you don't become complacent in your quit and your keep your quit separate from everything else (to protect it), you're not going to relapse unless you choose to. Relapsing is always a choice. Choose wisely. :)
