Pollyanna spoke too soon...

[Coco797]

I'm happy about my badge, but now struggling. I'm not gonna smoke. But I sure do want one. I'm not gonna do it. No turning back! NOPE!!! 🚭🙆

[Hidden]

Hi Coco..........don't be hard on yourself.......... It's just a craving...... Just remind yourself why you need to quit and remind yourself how fantastic you are doing👏🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I get cravings all the time ..... But I'm afraid of what smoking does to people.... It's a slow death

Remember: NOPE NOT ONE PUFF. EVER!!!!!!

We're here for ya🌷

[glolin LONG TERM WINNER]

hang in there Coco - ole mr nic will visit you often to try and get you back smoking. You just have to stay one step ahead of him and let him know that you Have taken back control of yourself YOUR THE BOSS OF YOU!!!!!!!!

You dont really want one - that is just a craving - try and find a distraction, take a soak in the tub think positive thoughts...tell yourself NOPE NOPE NOPE ..and NOPE NOPE NOPE

You can so do this - just believe in yourself and look at how far you have come

[Coco797 17 Month Winner]

I love you all. I went there. It's love. This is the hardest. But we are winners at quitting. It's hard. I want one. But NOPE. Damn the NOPE. Ugh! I'm here for y'all when I'm strong and I'm leaning on y'all now.

[glolin LONG TERM WINNER]

[Coco797 17 Month Winner in reply to glolin]

Just saying thanks for the support. Ppl are now noticing on their own that I'm missing...I'm ok with that. And tell them I've quit.

Hi Glolin. I'm live in Qld, but originally from England

[Coco797 17 Month Winner]

Thanks again everyone. This is hard. We have this! Smoking is gross. NOPE 🚭🤗🍁👻🍂🎃🤗🤗🤗

[Kas100 10years winner]

Hi coco, hang in there it will get easier, believe me.

It's so hard at first- old habits die hard.

I still want one after a year but I've learnt to accept the cravings and not to panic.

The NOPE mantra is fantastic- really helped me plus coming on here for support

You're doing great

Take care

Kas

Coco, keep going, you're doing brilliantly mate! It's so hard but you've done the hardest bit already!...this is just a test of your metal mate. I know where you're at, I could eat one every day and I've become a 'cryer' 😏 I've never been a 'cryer,' but...most of the time, I'm stronger than I was before cause I'm not serving the habit. That's what I tell myself anyway when I want to kill someone 😆

[Briarwood Administrator Ducky in reply to Hidden]

Don't worry Rachel I think we've all had a good cry at some stage or another of our quit😥 Better out than in😉 Soooo glad to hear you haven't murdered anyone either😂 You've got a great quit going, so well done😊x

[Hidden in reply to Briarwood]

Briarwood, thank you for all your support, don't know where I'd be without this site! Has really helped me to feel more sane in my insanity 😆 Xxx. Thank you xxxx

[monky Administrator Cake sniffer outer in reply to Hidden]

Hi ya Rachel and look at you, a 2 month Winner already Whoooop Whooooop

Like our lovely Briarwood has said, its better out than in gal Rachel, crying is a form of release it releaves the pressures in your mind So if you need to cry, then go on gal

Your doing ever soooooo well on your quit journey and I am just flippin loving it Rachel Like you say, quitting smoking isnt just about the drug aspect of it BUT the habit too

So we Winners have to break both of these and we flippin CAN, YOU CAN

You stay strong and focused Rachel, keep reminding yourself WHY you want to quit

[Hidden in reply to monky]

Thank you Monky 😁 All your support really helps but seriously, the crying is ridiculous, necessary I agree, but my life!!! 😁😁. Gotta do something I suppose 😉 But genuinely, thank you 😊

[Coco797 17 Month Winner]

Thanks Rachel! I didn't cave. I'm on day 15! That was rough. 🙃🙄😤😩

Pulling for you as well. I do hope your tears dry up soon!

Either way, I'm so thankful for this site and the ppl like you!

Have a wonderful smokefree day! Or evening, depending on where you are.
