DOF 17

Am still cigarettes and NRT free!  It’s been a challenging couple of days struggling through repeated cravings. But I said NOPE!  Almost had myself convinced last night to buy a pack and only smoke one puff of one cigarette. But after reading EX content from my EX heros realized that was my delusional nico-brain feeding me lies. 

Thank you EXCommunity.

Yep!  To an addict, there will NEVER be such a thing as "just one."  That one will ALWAYS lead to another, then another and eventually back to being a full time smoker.  That is one hard and fast rule you must accept to remain quit.

Glad you read and listened!!

Congrats on making the decision to not buy that pack.  It really does help to get on the Ex and read/post when your having a weak moment.  I know how many times it's saved my quit.

Good for you.

Don't take that one puff.

SO GLAD that you got on here and recognized that your addiction was trying to pull you back in, it will use all kinds of tricks, they are just that, they are TRICKS.  NOPE was the best reminder for me as well as "I don't do that anymore." and OldBones-Larry‌ saying "One step, and then another, will get you to where you want to be."  No crave lasts forever (even though some SEEM to) and no crave ever killed anyone, NO ONE can say that about cigarettes.

We are here for you...keep reaching out.  CONGRATULATIONS on making the best possible decision!
