G’day NOPE starts my day

NOPE

All i know is that a life without smoking involved is kind of great . I like to stay that way . I used to smoke whenever i got high or achieved some improvements in my study But i have stopped that way of life . I feel really good after avoiding smoking for three plus months All you need is a bit of time , willpower and patience to avoid the nicotine demon

Upstate on de botleof vine: k im druk now. tak tomoroow.

I think I've hit a breakthrough in my quit. I was thinking the other day about New Year's Eve and planning my adventures for the evening. (They involve pizza, pajamas, and The Twilight Zone marathon on Syfy.) I was remembering last New Year's Eve and recalling how I spent most of the day smoking as many cigarettes as I could in preparation for my quit the next day. I thought about how I spent the last moments of 2018 smoking my last cigarette, which I extinguished at 11:59pm just as the fireworks were starting in my neighborhood. And I realized something... For the first time, I didn't feel any type of nostalgia for my former habit. All I felt was relief that I don't have to deal with it this year! I won't spend the entire day running outside (into the freezing cold) to light up every 15-30 minutes. I will be able to watch an entire episode of The Twilight Zone without taking a smoke break. My pizza will taste SO much better now that my taste buds aren't dulled by smoking. My pajamas will smell like fabric softener rather than a dirty ashtray. I won't feel the rising panic as the day winds down and my quit day draws closer. I won't have a literal panic attack as I stub out my very last cigarette. I will be with my husband at midnight instead of outside on my porch. (And I'll get a New Year's kiss this year, because my breath won't stink like cigarettes.) In short, this New Year's Eve will be something to look forward to rather than to dread. Isn't that wonderful? I don't miss smoking. Not at all! I love being a non-smoker!

NOPE- I don't smoke anymore.

NOPE - never on #GravyDay... But who's gunna make the gravy?

Have you ever tried to get rid of nicotine completely? Sounds like you are trying to control your nicotine addiction rather than freeing yourself from it. Go for freedom...it's much better!

I don't go to the gym, I go to Aqua Zumba, plus do my own flexible exercises at home to music, For Balance, strength, Fun workout with 2 tracks of music and dance, plus fast walking my little dog 20 laps around my house. Need to Loose weight now, so more dancing and less eating.

I don't really have anything new to add. You've gotten some great responses above. The only way to get rid of nicotine addiction is to starve it to death. You do that by not consuming nicotine in any form.

No. Either you smoke or you don't smoke. There is no in-between. It's that simple. You're an addict and are making excuses to keep your habit. Replace nicotine with "heroin" and it sounds pretty ridiculous, no?

Welcome, Hunter. You have something very good going for you...you acknowledge your Nicotine Addiction ! Now you must learn everything you can about nicotine addiction and build yourself a successful quit. NO. You cannot manage an addiction by feeding the addiction.

Welcome Hunter, in short answer, NO there is no way to ration nicotine. It will always creep back up and you'll always crave for more and more. Either you smoke or you don't there really is no other options....

Yes, absolutely, well said. -7

Chianti certainly helps me, lol ! and Chantix helps in 'other' ways.
