Yoo small update from day 3
And no, I can say that after 3 months the urges are gone, not a grumpy dude anymore.
No more Nuuskamuikkunen!
I stopped smoking cigarettes about 10 months ago but switched to vaping and just recently quit vaping last month on the 20th it’s still tempting to vape again but I was feeling the damage to my chest. So it can be done, stopping, but I have to be committed to that decision
No more that one either
I am back up to a month (and 2 days!) nicotine/ smoke free. Still really annoyed with myself for the cycle of resets over the last couple of months… But grateful that I didn’t let it go further than it did. Back to it!
That’s the way! Back to it girl
Thank you! It’s really cool to see the days racking up again
today I had a 30 second craving totally out of the blue, I was just reading on here about smoking and all of a sudden I was like yep I want one. It was a strange feeling and quite horrible TBH. Just goes to show we can never get complacent about these things.
Hey everyone, found this thread last night and wondered how you’re all getting on. Last Friday night, I started smoking again at 8pm after 7 months 11 days smoke-free. I was having unrelenting cravings for all of my past addictions, and went with cigs to ensure it wasn’t the alcohol or cocaine. The plan was to just have a packet laying around so I could have just one in moments like that, but we know how that plays out, in typical addict fashion I have smoked a pack every 24 hours. I reset at 5:30pm last night, managed to get through the evening and the whole night, and a couple of morning cravings, but only made it 16hours, the night sweats were horrendous. I’ve got 8 left in the packet I bought at 9:30am this morning, and really do want to stop after them. I can’t believe I started again, I’ve relapsed a handful of times so I know not one puff ever again, just like with my other addictions and relapses. Today is 122 days no alcohol, and 90 days no cocaine, I hope to be able to check in tomorrow night with 24hrs smoke-free, because I know that when I manage that first 24hrs, it’s just a matter of repeating that every day. There is a lot of motivation and success in this thread, and I thank you for starting it @Fireweed
ETA: I’ve had a migraine since I restarted along with a burning in my chest, and when I went for 2 15 mins walks yesterday, it was much harder to breathe than it has been. Cunning and baffling indeed, really want to be free again.
Hi @CATMANCAM I’m happy if you find this thread helpful. Wish you all the luck, but would like to gently remind that you already have a lot going on as regards not drinking/ no coke. In case your cig cravings will jeopardize your relatively early sobriety, you might want to step back and look for a better moment. Just a suggestion stay strong, stay the course
Iam on Day 344 with cigarettes today im trying not.to think about a drag staying strong.
Its tough
So are you, you can do it
That was very sweet thanks
