It's been one month since I smoked my last cigarette.
Cold turkey. No slips, at all.
But I still want one, all the time, every fucking day.
Great achievement, you deserve honor for that. But did you really stop mentally. Did you really make the decision that you don't want it anymore???? Just asking!
I didn't want to quit but I HAD to. So I did.
@KKGator That's what I meant. I stopped a few times like that and in the longer or shorter run I restarted again, knowing that smoking is unhealthy and even killing in a nasty way (cancer is nasty way to die as I have seen around me). The last time I had a different motivation. I stopped because I did not want some product control my behavior anymore. I wanted to regain control over my own life. And it worked! Never had any doubt anymore. It worked the same with my goodbyes to religion. That went even deeper. That addiction was planted in my subconscious from child on. It took longer than the smoking thing, but in the end I found my way back to my personal control room.
Try not to think about it. Guess I got lucky. Quit 4 years ago and never missed.
You might try hypnosis. good luck to ya.
I'm okay, thank you.
Venting helps more than anything. I've got a handle on my urges.
Yeah i still smoke weed so no fckin chance i can go cig free yet which annoys me greatly
I hadn't smoked ciggs or weed in 30 years prior to relocating to Australia. My fiance smoked weed, and it missed it with tobacco. Of course I couldn't resist the weed, and with a couple of days I was hooked on tobacco. Four years in Melbourne. Returned to the states and just quite two months ago by vaping. Easy here because the vape has nicotene in it. Good luck too you! I'm tobacco free and vape free now.
congrats! i quit 6.5 years ago for health reasons - the easy way via hypnotherapy. never crave, actually loathe the stuff now - after having been a smoker on a mission for over 40 years!
I gave up a little over five years ago and, after a few accidents early on, have been cigarette-free for four. I still want one from time to time, but I no longer crave one even when around people who are smoking - keep it up, it really does start getting easier!
I quit 41years ago after a few short lived attempts failed. Went cold turkey and never looked back. Woke up a few times cussing myself cause I dreamed I had started again, but never again was tempted. At today’s prices, you can take a mighty nice vacation on the savings after a year.
To be clear, "No tobacco, every 'fucking day,'" means you are not smoking on the days you fuck?
If this is correct, the most reasonable path is to be fucking every day. And when required.
How is that not an instinct for every man? How can any women deny the needed assistance?
There is no fucking in my world.
Only using the word as a noun, an adjective, and when I'm feeling really creative, an adverb.
Well done!It took me three rounds of chantix and a stroke to get me stopped
I found out that I have PAD. Also found out it runs in the family and has contributed to the deaths of several. Quit before the first stent was implanted. Second one is next week. Continuing to smoke makes it more likely I'd have to go through the procedure annually, and that's just fucking stupid. So, I quit.
It's addiction. Whether it's nicotine, cocaine, chocolate, or the one that got away--it's hard. Every fucking moment. But guess what? You stayed cold turkey for 30 days. Remember that. And the longer you stay away, at some point it will get easier. So congrats! You made it this far, and no one can ever take that away from you. Remember that. And you're not alone. Remember that too. Go you. YOU. ROCK!!
I know what you mean. I've quit a bunch of times, and need to again. Hang in there.
