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

I will do thank you very much! Done it once with cigs so i can do it again with the vape! I had many years on nothing after i quit smoking. Got sucked into the new trend of vaping unfortunately back then!

@Becsta You are doing so well, keep it up.

I wanted to send you a PM but your profile is private.

I joined nope365.com

I’ll still check in here for my sober part of recovery.

Keep keeping on everyone.

No problem hun. I’m on private too.

Just wasn’t sure the admins might be too happy with me sharing another site’s link :grinning:

I’m sure it’s not a problem to share the link. Thanks so much, I’ll check it out, you can never have too many resources around you! I’m going to head to bed now as it’s almost midnight here. Hope you are feeling better and chat soon :hibiscus:
(I think I managed to change my profile so if you’d ever like to message me, you can x)

Not an admin, just a mod here. No problem for me, just as long as it is no link to any commercial stuff. nope isn’t commercial. Hope you’ll get some more help there! BTW, I’m a member there, just not very active anymore. It actually was set up as a refuge to former members of Quitnet when that site disappeared. Quitnet was the first addiction related forum I was a member of and helped me greatly in quitting smoking in 2015. A number of the best posts from Quitnet have been transferred to nope365. Some of 'm I have reposted again right here.

2 weeks of non smoking! Yes!! I did it! Feeling so much better both mentally and physically. I also notice I am less stressed about where and when to smoke and overall less stress. And I am more relaxed at work. .
I am eating more nicotine gum the last few days, but I am gone cut back on this as well. I am using 4 mg gum right now, but when I finish the last strip I will go down to 2 mg.

I am gone keep doing this. Smoking is stupid.

:muscle: :v:

2 weeks is great, it’s nice to breathe in and get some air in your lungs, unless you live in the city and get a load of smog :joy::joy:

Beautiful numbers Paul, you rock!!! :facepunch::star2:

@ShadowFax awesome on the 2 weeks!

I’m 1 week down, today was probably the most challenging day with cravings that I’ve had since quitting. Craving the habit. But I’ve broken the habit and no matter how hard it gets, this girl is not going back!

I love not smelling of cigarettes, and using my perfume simply because I love it not because I’m trying to mask the stink of tabacco. I feel so clean lol. My 18 year old laughs at that and tells me “your body is a temple, you’re so pure now with no alcohol, cigarettes or energy drinks” :joy: that’s me, straighty one-eighty :laughing::sweat_smile:

Thanks @Mno I was on Quitnet way back in 2008 and I was devastated when I couldn’t find them. Did spend some time at Quit Train or something like that but it just wasn’t the same.

When I jfound and joined this one I realized it was the same format as after 3 days you get your “bracelet” etc…

Anyway just delighted I found it :clap::clap::clap:

Feeling better than I have any other time I’ve attempted quitting. Still having my tough moments but keep pushing through them. I miss the habit immensely but not enough to go back… guess I’m in a bit of a grieving stage and that’s ok because it’s just part of the process…

I am feeling very grumpy right now. Really want to go and buy some smokes. Have been thinking about it quite a lot this week. Thought I should probably write about it.

The only thing stopping me at this point is guilt I.e. not wanting to get horrible lung disease and put my loved ones through all the suffering that goes with it. I guess I’ll take it for now until something better comes along.

I think it’s particularly frustrating because I’m at this point with alcohol where I have no desire to drink. I have been there with cigarettes a couple of times too. And that feels so far away from where I am at the moment. I can’t remember how I got to there from here. And even if I did I’m not sure it would make a difference - that was then, this is now etc.

Patience alongside anxiety is harrrdddd :grimacing:
