Alright. Bought myself a pack of cigarettes yesterday, which is stupid I know. Ordered an e-smoker last night to cut back on nicotine.

To be continued…

Thanks, tiny steps are probably the way to go. I gave up smoking in 2016 and used an e-smoker back then too. Wish I could just quit just like that, but at this point it’s a better option than getting my ass over to the coffeeshop to score pot. :slightly_smiling_face:

365 days smoke/nicotine free!!! I had tried for soooo many years to quit smoking and could never quite make it stick. I can’t tell you how amazing it feels right now to know that it has been 1 YEAR since the last cigarette! Best feeling ever, so grateful for the many tools that have helped me to get here and become a healthy, happy NON-smoker! :blush::clap::raised_hands::woman_cartwheeling:t4::sunflower::heart::muscle: Allen Carr’s book definitely, and the fact that I am sober… no alcohol for the past 309 days. Can’t wait to hit the 1 year mark on that one too! Life is sooo much better alcohol and smoke freeee :smiley: yipeee

Thank you!!! One day at a time, but I have my sights on triple digits, for now.

I’m a bit surprised that everyone I know is way more impressed about the nicotine. But I did do 95% of my drinking behind closed doors. So there’s that… :grimacing::joy:
