Sticking with N.O.P.E - Not One Puff Ever and vigilance works when applied on a daily basis it's definitely not easy in those early weeks BUT with commitment and perseverance you will get to that point where you realize how much better life is and you'll be so glad that you stuck with your quit journey because life really does get easier and easier with time under your belt and it's an awesome feeling to be able to go anywhere anytime whenever wherever and however without worrying about where to sneak off to suck on a damned Cancer Stick our quits are firmly in our grasp and it's up to us to nurture and protect the best gift that any of us will ever give ourselves which is the gift of LIFE.  We can stick with with our quits N.M.W - No Matter What because there's No EXcuse on the face of this earth that's good enough to screw up a perfectly beautiful quit relapsing isn't the answer because Life is going to happen whether we smoke or not and our lives literally depends on us to remain Smokefree N.M.W. It takes time to live LIFE on LIFE'S Terms BUT boy oh boy it's so worth it to be Free......

Speaking as someone in those early week(s), NOPE and vigilance are absolutely key. Each day...each hour, I find myself actively deciding not to smoke. I've read may times, here and other places, that quitting is an hour by hour sometimes minute by minute journey. We must be extra vigilant especially in the early stages of the Quit.
