Not One Puff Ever N.O.P.E
I'm loving seeing so many NOPEing away!!
I first saw that saying from Flora, a member of this site and the mantra is helping me and by the looks of it so many other people using the same strategy!
I don't live in fear of N.O.P.E in fact it's the opposite for me, it's sooooo empowering and for the times those annoying cravings hit, it's so good to say NOPE.
It's funny, I was walking around the house the other day and must have said out loud NOPE and one of my kids said but awww mum, it's only 6 mates that I'm asking to have stay overnight and you've let me have more than that before!!!
I'm like huh?? Then quickly figured out I didn't hear my son asking to have his mates over.
He asked me why I said NOPE so I told him. He laughed and thought it was brilliant but then said how a few of his friends who are girls have taken up smoking and how much he hates it because he's really into health and fitness.
He hugged me tight and said keep saying NOPE mum because I'm so proud of my NOPEing mum awww
Well done Kim!! It's the best feeling to have a proud son. They love us so much and can't stand watching us self destruct. I've come so far at nearly 50 days, I know I could never let him or myself down now. I'll keep saying nope too!
That word is so powerful to me now and forever....been hard today because so many cravings, but have been strong and will not give in....

Congrats! It's so wonderful that your son is encouraging you! My biggest fear about quiting was never having another puff. It created an anxiety. Now I just don't want to ever have to start over. :)
Awww gorgeous pic you you and your son!!
I know that feeling all to well. It's what put me off for so long but now I'm doing all I can to remain quit because I feel heaps better despite there being occasional tough times. I love my son to the moon and back and he's 17 at the end of this month. Health and family are everything.
