90 days. My favourite thing about quitting today - my flat doesn’t stink of smoke

I’m so proud of you @Hailstrom I cannot smell anything right now (after having covid) but I know I stink like an ashtray

Hailstrom · October 21, 2020, 9:20am

Thank you and get well soon

Hailstrom · October 31, 2020, 9:51am

All going well. A few cravings here and there but nothing too troublesome

Checking in at 15 days smoke free. Still not feeling that committed and not convinced I will string together as long as 18 months again… But for today I am not smoking and I will deal with the rest when it gets here!

What’s happening? You gonna get crumpy Tom @ChicagoT

Edit I’m informed… this is amazing. You got this

Week 3 of no Cigs. I was thinking about picking up Cigars but I’m in to deep in quitting smoking already. I must continie this path of self control. I know what I have to do and I’m following through with it. The last vestiges of my old habits is dead.

Stopped Nicotine gum … Eventually found my substitute. ‘Falim’ sugar-free & nicotine-free gum. Love the consistency, but the ingredients are in Turkish, so who knows what’s in it. I am going through quite a few of them a day

Also, just FYI, I’m thinking of taking a break from TS, the type where a moderator suspends you for a set period, as I don’t have the willpower on my own

Rough and grumpy days ahead

Hailstrom · November 7, 2020, 11:38am

How’s it going? @Fireweed

Hailstrom · November 7, 2020, 11:40am

Enjoy your break Sue, it can be really beneficial to take some time away

Fireweed · November 7, 2020, 3:10pm

Hi @Hailstrom! Depends on the us election results…

Hi @siand, how is it going? Have you read Allen Carr’s book Easyway to quit smoking ? This book is amazing and it really helped me to finally quit, for good. It removes the brainwashing and conditioning smokers have and it paves the way for the brain to connect to the healthy and happy Non-smoker that we are

Hailstrom · November 8, 2020, 9:18am

Feeling better now?

Fireweed · November 8, 2020, 9:25am

Yes and no. Cause I made a bet that depending on the winner I will either decrease or increase my smoking. So it’s hello grumpiness (goodbye to a certain a-hole)

Hailstrom · November 8, 2020, 9:36am

Haha, ok. So in some ways he’s done you a favour Good work cutting back

Fireweed · November 8, 2020, 9:46am

Yes true. The question is, will we accept the result

siand · November 9, 2020, 2:33am

I did read it just after I quit and found it useful. I kept saying I would read it again… But didn’t!

Something has switched in me and I seem to have the smoking out of my system for now. I do need to do something though because otherwise I suspect that the fact I smoked for a week or two then stopped will be ammunition for my future brain to justify ‘just one’!
