OK you guys, i am ready to quit smoking cigarettes. i just finished my last one in the pack and i just wanna start cold turkey tomorrow. i REALLY want to stop. i’m ready for new life. using cigarettes is a serious drain on my energy and finances, it’s a dishonor to my body, it’s in opposition to my spirit, it maintains mental distortion and negatively impacts the quality of my voice - as a professional singer that is just a crazy thing to continue to allow.

i don’t really have a plan, but i just know i would rather stop now than make another excuse to buy a pack tomorrow and yet again delay the inevitable. declaring this here for accountability! 131 days alcohol free today and i need to break this next chain. advice, support, insight, encouragement, anything will be so graciously received and greatly appreciated! i want to be an ex-smoker like all you amazing wayshowing warriors. i really do. :muscle:t4:

Great choice. I quit just about 4 months ago, and feel really good. It’s hard at first, but we’re doing it with the alcohol so same triggers and strategies for getting past them.
I’m quitting smoking thanks to a great hypnosis app from Surf City Apps! Check it out! Quit Smoking Hypnosis | Surf City Apps
@JazzyS sent me this meditation awhile back it helped :v:

Great news Julia. Drink lots of water and as with addiction - make sure to keep yourself busy.

I personally found the hypnosis app that Joe mentioned to be very helpful. So happy to hear that it helped you too @Jasty2 You don’t have to pay for the upgrade (just takes longer to get through the introduction).
I also chewed a piece of 2mg nicorette -alternating with gum.

We are here cheering you on … Just take it odaat! :muscle:t4:

Welcome to the community Nichole
Way to go! Sorry about the cravings/ headaches. Hopefully with plenty of hydration the headaches will taper off.
Glad that the lollipops are helping. Read through this thread as there is great advice in how to manage those cravings.
Hope to see you around :hugs:

Only going to roll over to 30 days today! It’s still tough. Everyday I’m still fighting the urge to just have one cause I’m stressed or I’m this or that. I’m so glad iv managed to persevere so far, I have quite bad health anxiety and checking my body all the time so I’m hoping itl calm down as I’m making more positive choices. Yay to 30 days!
