Grumpy A-holes (quitting cigarettes/ nicotine products) (Part 1)

[john_connor1337]

Thanks homie, yeah I am definitely going to quit cigarettes soon for sure. Cigarettes fucking suck tbh. I think for now it’s a bit too early to quit as I’m still focused on my DOC addiction for now since I’m only 16 days in. But definitely soon I shall quit cigarettes for sure

If I end up relapsing on my DOC before the time I wanna quit cigarettes at, I’ll probably just be like “fuck it dooood” and just quit both at the same time like @Mno suggested. But hopefully I don’t end up ever relapsing on my DOC

Thanks friend. It’s a good work place to be at this moment in time and this point in my life. When it works right we all learn and grow from what we all do together there.

Aww @Curtis-81 what a wonderful shout out. thanks my friend. I didnt feel ready to quit but my pocketbook was sad and my therapist challenged me to set a date.

My tip is to quit at night then you have built a couple sober hours while you sleep. That helped me

14 days Tobacco Free

Hello fellows, been away some days, I fell on march 28, bought a pack and smoked one, tasted like cardboard, not good, it was not worth it, then I went to a gig and smoked some other I was drunk.

I had thought in possible scenarios though the day, but I thought I was not ready to go outside like to a gig.

I havent posted because I felt like shit, I was so proud but then felt ridiculous, it is funny, taller towers have fallen, so I should keep my mouth shut.

But still going still standing and willing to improve, doing exercise, and stuff.

Smoking bad, fresh air good.

Its ok @Pinto dust yourself off and continue your journey

Progress my friend

Great work on your 2 weeks Ashley! Keep up the amazing work

[JazzyS]

Glad to see you back with us. No need to feel ridiculous when faltering in the recovery. We have all been there and are working on the same recovery. Here you are supported and cheered on to keep pushing forward.

ODAAT!

Day 8 in the bag. Cravings have disappeared now in the everything tastes like metal phase

[Mno]

Wait till your sense of smell returns, you’ll notice the disgusting smells especially to begin with… Excellent work Nick. Keep going ODAAT and nothing will stop you.

I have just read through the whole thread while finishing my last vape.

This is it, I quit

I tried before, last August, but I was new into quitting alcohol and didn’t want to jeopardise that quit.

I’ll be checking in here daily and plan to use the money I save to pay for a gym membership with swimming and sauna facilities, bliss!!!

[JazzyS]

Way to go Kiki. You got the strength to push through… looking forward to seeing your daily check ins

@Dilettante

This is it, I quit

Love this determination

[Dilettante]

How do I add another counter on the sober time app…halp!!!

[JazzyS]

From main page of app (in my phone) go to the three lines on top left
Go to manage and it will allow you to add more counters

[Dilettante]

Done, muchas grasias

[Dilettante]

Phew, I’ve made it through my first night time and morning cravings. Lunchtime here now here in the UK and I’m feeling determined

[Cjp]

You got this @Dilettante you know how to quit and get thru cravings, youve done it before. Lean on your supports.

[Mno]

You’re doing great Kiki. I’m pretty sure you’re not going to break anybody’s hart by smoking. ODAAT and all that.

Just keep saying no.

[Dilettante]

Thank you @Cjp . Yes, if feels better knowing I have been through intense cravings with other substances and lived to tell the tale (the tale being it is much better on the other side!). I have been a grumpy cow today though, so short and snapping at anyone and everyone, not like me. Luckily, I didn’t need to see too many people today though.

[Dilettante]

ODAAT indeed…here’s the first 24

Thank you for all your previous posts, with ideas and advice, in this thread @Mno . They helped me get in the mindset and prepped for today
