Please help me to stop smoking. Please motivate me. Blessings!
I am day 12 tobacco free. I dipped for 34 years. Tried cold-turkey. Kicked my butt. Am using nicotine lozenges and they help.
There are many here whoāve quit. Some cold-turkey. @anon34614660, can you chime in here?

I have been smoke free for several years now. Itās a shame I didnāt remember the date. This is what helped me. I made a pact with myself to only smoke outside and to keep the ashtray clean on the porch in addition to banning smoking in my vehicle. I also bought big bags of dum-dums. Eventually I noticed I slowed down due to having to go on porch to smoke and no smoking in car. Keeping the ashtray clean helped me as far as recognizing how cigarettes stink. Eventually I smelled it on everything and it made me sick. The dum-dums helped with the hand to mouth addiction that come with smoking and that part is pure psychological. Start exercising as well, even if it is just a brisk walk in the morning and / or evening. You will notice your breaths are much deeper/longerā¦ purer.

Sticking to my goal if not smoking, of going with it just for today and I will come home from work and not smoke but then before I shower I smoke and then before I go to sleep. I have noticed that I donāt enjoy being high as much as I used to. I get headaches and Iām always moody until I smoke, things that only started happening but sometimes I can go a whole weekend high and not remember a single thing I did and all I did was sleep and I wasted my whole day. I think I am ready to stop and then Iāll smoke to calm down and have to start over. I started over today about 2 hours ago and I want to make it thru Tuesday without smoking. Thank you for not judging me. Iāve been asking God for help and He sent angels!

Remember that life is a journey dear. And everything happens on Gods time. He is after all the Master of the universe. First i would recommend praying daily asking God to take that need away. And trust he will. Wait on his timing. If u beat urself up u will only smoke more. My first recommendation is to watch 60 Reasons to quit weed on YouTube. This really opened my eyes as to why deep down I hated it but still did it anyway. Have a pen and paper handy so i can note the things that relate to you. From there u will start building positive vibes around being sober and ull have a whole ton of important reasons to stop. I smoked for 9 years non stop. Like among my friends im known as the pothead. I had never gone 2 co executive days sober. After watching that video and gaining support here im now heading towards day 9! I have blown my own expectations. But I reset 6 times before that. U need to make urself believe u can do it. The same guy that does that 60 reasons video also does another one about how weed by passes ur decision making without u even knowing and tells you how to get that choice back. My advice wud be keep trying to beat ur previous record even if its only by an hour or a day. Donāt let it become a reason to smokeā¦like oh ive beat my record i can get high nowā¦but rather see how long u can go and create rewards for making it to ur goals. Trust me YOU CAN DO THIS! U WANT IT MORE THAN ANYTHING. And here we are all fighting for one another to succeed! I have faith u will do this! @Sunset8
