You all are motivating me over here!! You are crushing it! I cant believed i havnt had one in 9 days!! I find myself still going out and sitting on the porch when shit gets stressful. Or taking a walk out back at work… the times i would go out and smoke. Im enjoying still taking a break. Just a healthy one. Its working wonders!

Healthy breaks are necessary. I remember that being the main reason it was hard for me to quit. Thinking I was losing my breaks. Not even realizing I could take a healthy break like you mentioned.

Day 9!!! Way to go :muscle:t4::muscle:t4: keep pushing forward :confetti_ball::tada:

Countdown is on! This time last year i was on a road trip nonstop vaping because i knew i would stop the next day. Damn it was hard but it is a blessing to have my lung capacity back

Smoking bad.
Fresh air good.

Hehe. Numbers are fun!

But yeah. After 23 years smoking with probably 3 or 4 breaks none of which lasted more than 5 days…I have gone 30 days without a cigarette. Tried a couple of times and failed in the beginning. But when I stopped I did. Without any replacements…or outside help except this forum of course. I became one hell of a grumpy a-hole. My cravings for alcohol came back in full swing…but here I am. 11 months 9 days alcohol free and 30 days cigarette free.

I am proud of me.

I am grateful!

I love you guys! @Mno @JazzyS @JasonFisher @Curtis-81 you guys are awesome and made my day! Thanks for your support along my nic free journey thus far. I was just coming on to post my 1yr screenshot and you guys were already congratulating me. Brought so much gratitude to my heart. This community is fricken awesome!

I celebrate 1 year free from nicotine today. I was either smoking or vaping for the last 20 years and damn it feels good to be free from the chains of addiction. Last year i would have driven to my family reunion seperate just to vape nonstop. This year i rode with my aging folks and had a blast. (Tried to hide my vaping from fam.) In the before time i couldnt have even fathomed a roadtrip with out vaping. i was present at my family reunion and not constantly thinking about my next fix. My lung capacity is awesome. Im not fricken vaping in my office at work in shame because i needed a hit every hour. I dont have to excuse myself outside in the freezing cold winter this fall
i dont have to steal puffs in the public/private bathroom. I had such shame from being so addicted.

Now Im the healthiest ive been in my entire life. Thanks to this forum and AA. im so stinkin greatful.

Smoking/vaping bad
Fresh air good

Keep rockin the nicotine free life my peeps!
