A short update on the wicked witch of the west.
She’s gone, thankfully. I’m on day 16 and I’m finally back to feeling myself. I was soooo on edge, felt like I could explode! Happy that’s over.
Today I was at a beachbar and normally I would crave sigarettes, but I didn’t

Yay you Naomi! You beat the physical addiction. Erasing the habit from your system will take some more time and effort. But you are well and truly on your way. Huge congrats friend!

I made it thru! I voiced the craving realsing its power. I addressed H.A.L.T and i remembered how far ive come and how i didnt want to put my shackles back on. Survived another day.
P.s. may have overcompensated with coffee

Nicely done CJ… great use of your tools and your strength.
Lol … some times we need something like coffee to help us get through the worst of the cravings. Hope you can sleep peacefully tonight

Thanks Menno. I’m not there yet and summer is a tempting time with ‘terrasjes pakken’, but I want to get nicotine completely out of my system. I’m determined 
@Cjp I feel you, if somebody would be vaping I’d be eyeballing them too, especially the fruity stuff. Congrats on not caving in
I notice I drink more coffee too since I quit. I’m even craving instant decaf in the evening.

It took me a few years of tapering down, applying different strategies, several failed attempts… I was finally able to quit when I decided to use Crest White Strips to whiten my teeth. After the first treatment, I was smoking a cigarette and just realized the insanity of it. “What the f*** am I doing,” I asked myself. I wanted whiter teeth but here I was staining them and undoing what I had just done. After years of planning and trying and failing and trying again, that was what got to me. I was done. Enough was enough. My last cigarette was on May 18, 2023. No vapes, no fidget spinners, no replacement therapy… it was just one of those things where it was time and I knew it. Thanks for letting me share.

Day 2 of not vaping. Far harder to knock vapes on the head than cigs.
