Hi November people. I’m just going to slide in here and join you. I quit on November 14 but didn’t think to come back here until last night. I originally quit in February, joined the February group, and had almost 5 months quit when I let down my guard and started a ridiculous quit/start, quit/start smoking thing that only a mad woman would go through. I want to stop smoking for good.
So, here’s to today of NOPING!

Hey Bev!
Congratulations on 4 weeks tomorrow! That's wonderful - be very proud!

Welcome Becka!
sorry to hear about the 5months slip. But very happy you back here with us.
it shows me that we can never be vigilant enough. Makes me worry though. It takes so much energy to stay positive and to keep fighting.
Let us do this together

Hi Hester,
Have to say this weekend has been a struggle.
And spent a lot of time in bed trying to ignore the feelings. Going to try to stay busy this afternoon. Think things will improve if I get past the weekend.
How are you, you’re doing brilliantly

Hey there Becka,
Welcome home. Good to see you back and working on getting off that stop start roller coaster ride.
Never give up!!
(((Hugs)))

Hi there Hester,
It is entirely possible to relax into your quit and be effortlessly vigilant. It is not a 24/7 fight to do so. It's all about keeping your memory green (why you wanted/needed to quit in the first place) and not falling into complacency.
You'd be surprised at how often we tell ourselves things that hurt our chances at being able to quit smoking.
