Not One Puff Ever (NOPE)

None is the contraction of Not One

If you are smoking after you've quit, You're doing it wrong.

Quitting smoking may seem like denial to the addict part of us but it's really a choice.

If you choose to quit, you are not denying yourself, you are following your wishes.

Be willing to be uncomfortable for awhile.

If people really analyzed all the "pain" they think they are going through, they would realize it started in their own minds and they blew it up into something uncontrollable. In fact, it was always controllable.

Decide, Be willing. Ride it out.

Time is your friend. Smoking will go away when you decide it will and give it the time it takes.

Hello, My name is Dale. I was quit 18 months before joining this site and had participated on another site during that time. I learned a lot there and brought it with me. I joined this site the first week of August 2008. I didn't pressure myself to quit. HOW I QUIT I didn't count, I didn't deny myself to get started. When I considered quitting (at a friends request to influence his brother to quit), I simply told myself to wait a little longer. No denial, nothing painful. After 4 weeks I was down to 5 cigarettes from a pack a day. The strength came from proving to myself, I didn't need to smoke because I normally would have smoked. Simple yes? I bought the patch. I forgot to put one on on the 4th day. I needed it the next day but the following week I forgot two days in a row I put one in my wallet with a promise to myself that I would slap it on and wait an hour rather than smoke. It rode in my wallet my first year.There's nothing keeping any of you from doing this. It doesn't cost a dime. This is about unlearning something you've done for a long time. The nicotine isn't the hard part. Disconnecting from the psychological pull, the memories and connected emotions is. :-) Time is the healer.
