Remember N.O.P.E when applied on a daily basis will give us a beautiful life of freedom

N.O.P.E - means Not One Puff Ever - I thought I should explain this mantra just in case someone is hiding in the shadows reading this and wondering what it means and if you are out there and are thinking about quitting smoking, you are in the right place because there's a wealth of information here to help you quit and to remain quit, read everything you can because quitting smoking is definitely difficult but absolutely doable and absolutely worth it to be free. In the first few weeks and months of my quit I blogged at least twice a day and there was always someone here to help me through the rough patches and I also read jonescarps aka dales page concerning the first 4 months of a quit which really helped me understand what to expect to get through the roller coaster ups and downs and yay it's so worth it and another thing that worked for me that a couple of elders suggested was laughter, watching comedy on you tube or TV which I did alot which is a great way to get the dopamine naturally through laughing  so quit if you haven't yet or keep moving forward and stacking up your precious days of freedom if you're struggling because it's going to get easier and easier as time goes on.

I'm a proud Gram of 2 grandsons and a granddaughter and I consider myself a jack of all trades and a master of none, plus I enjoy reading and being outside and since quitting smoking breathing is so much easier because I'm not coughing half of my time sucking on a cancer stick....
