Back to another time in this thread. Up until my accident I smoked 3-4 cigarettes each day, pretty much when I would drink. When I was in the hospital they put nicotine patches on me for 24/7. When I came out, I smoked basically a pack a day. Who starts that in their 50s? Anyhoo, today I smoked my last cigarette at 7am.

I can’t remember how to put a 2nd item in the app. :no_smoking:

One step at a time it is. One of these days you will be very grateful that you decided to not smoke. In the meantime, one step at a time one day at a time one moment at a time.

Love what Alisa and CJ said. You just gotta keep going.

I apologized to everyone around me in advance for my attitude and asked them to let me know if when I was being a real bitch so I could take a breath/ break to reset my body. The bitchines comes from our urges not being met and our nerves are shot.. We just have to find a different way to calm ourselves. It doesn’t last. Know you won’t have to repeat this ever again. :folded_hands:t4::flexed_biceps:t4:

I had a friend who made fake cigarettes. Cut off straws with cotton in the end. She ‘smoked’ them for a long time. Whatever helps.
