N.O.P.E. is an acronym for Not One Puff Ever. It was kind of my motto at the start of my quit. Whenever a thought of smoking popped in my head i'd just say nope! It's one of many acronyms that quitters use. Another that's popular is H.A.L.T. It stands for Hungry Angry Lonely Tired. Nine times out of ten, a craving can be traced to one of these four things.

Stay strong buddy!

Thanks again for the support. Isn't it funny how instinctively our bodies now to breathe deeply no one ever taught me that trick it really does works thanks again

Hey Ermio,

Isn't it wonderful how something so simple as breathing, can help relax you and fight those urges? Deep breathing really helped me at the start, and I still use it today to help cope with stress.

I'm sure the cravings will subside in time. You've got to remember that it took you almost 54 years of smoking before deciding to quit, and now you have to let your body readjust to the changes. It's not going to happen overnight, but eventually it will.

You can breath better now, and you've probably got more energy too. Just what you'll need for the dances.

Stay strong and keep your guard up!

Welcome Ermio,

It sounds like you have a big motivator to get healthy! You deserve a long and happy life with your family.

I am glad you are liking the site so far. Be sure to complete the entire program and post in the support groups often. Other then this site, how else are you preparing for your quit?

Thanks for the support. I cope with the craving by taking deep breaths, walking, I keep my hands busy by typing on this fourm. It's everyday it's hard but the nicodemons won't get me I smoked for 54 years well actually 53 this is the year I quit.

Hello Ermio,

Welcome to the SSC.

You can vent all you want around here, just don't inhale, if you know what I mean!

10 months is an awesome quit. Do the cravings you are having happen all day or just at certain times of the day? How are you dealing with them?

If you click on "my program" at the top of the page, you can go into your settings and start your quit meter. It can tell you how many days of life you've gained by not smoking. Every little bit helps especially when there's three grand daughters involved.

Once again, congratulations on your quit.
