I'm about 20 years out with no smoking. There are still times it sounds good.

I gave up coffee for ages because I really wanted one with coffee.

Maybe if you sort out your triggers it will help you?

You're doing great!

It's a difficult thing to do. I went the gradual method, and quit cigarettes 40 years ago; but, like you, the craving didn't go away, until a couple years passed. The way I dealt with that was recalling how, when I was smoking, my chest felt like it was always being squeezed, like a tight bearhug. I hated that feeling.

Stay strong.

It took about three months for my daily cravings to subside. Hang in there. I have not smoked in 18 years. Also there were times after three months when I still wanted a cigarette. For me it was when I first woke in the morning, right after sex, and when I drank alcohol. But even those cravings went away a within 6 months.

Try pumpkin seeds worked for me.

Thanks for all the encouragement, and suggestions.
I'm not going to relapse. I can't.
Every time I come close to buying some, I stop myself.
All I have to do is think about the very real possibility of amputations.

I'm even stopping myself in my dreams. LOL

Proud of you!! That's fantastic! ???

You are amazing. Remember that every time you think of another cigarette!

Well done. I'm proud of you!

My chain smoking father died of cancer at age 51. Listening to dad coughing his guts out every morning convinced me NEVER to smoke.

I know what you mean. I've quit a bunch of times, and need to again. Hang in there.

Respect my man ??

30 Congrats to you.

congrats!

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!!

Well done!It took me three rounds of chantix and a stroke to get me stopped

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?

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!

It takes awhile. If you manage to pull this off, you will be very happy you did.

Congratulations! Hang on in there sister!

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!

Proud of you! Stay strong! You rock!

Been 4 months for me and I could taste them last night not the smoke but the taste after a full packet on a Friday night ....

It will pass.

Congratulations. You are doing great. I quit 25 years ago and to this very day when I get a whiff of one my desire kicks me in the butt. Stick with it. It’s worth it!

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.

Yeah i still smoke weed so no fckin chance i can go cig free yet which annoys me greatly
