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

Aww @Curtis-81 what a wonderful shout out. :slight_smile: 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

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.

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

This is it, I quit :no_smoking::no_smoking::no_smoking::no_smoking::no_smoking::no_smoking::no_smoking::no_smoking::no_smoking::no_smoking:

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!!!

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.

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.
