Hi Amierouge and welcome to quit train! Congratulations on being nearly 2 weeks smoke free! That's a great start to your forever quit. Everything you are experiencing is normal. It is tough in the early days of quitting, even the the assistance of NRT products. Like all of us, you are a nicotine addict and have built an extensive habit of smoking with almost everything you do each day for years. That takes a while to readjust to once you quit. Filling those moment when you used to smoke with some other activity or thoughts just takes time to become comfortable with. It WILL happen though. The key is to stick with your quit. The longer you do, the easier all of it will get to be. You will receive a lot of support here and there's a ton of information about smoking and nicotine addiction so please use all of it. Knowledge is power!

This was inspired by a saying I saw across the front of The House of Blues in Orlando, Florida. Who are your favorite Blues artists or what are some of your favorite Blues songs. I'll give just 3 of my favorite songs.

NOPE - I don't smoke anymore.

Congrats, Guttie39! That's how you do it....one hour, one day at a time! First week will be a helluva ride, that's for sure...buckle in and hang on! So worth it! KTQ!

Way to go G! ... Keep looking forward and smile. You're a non-smoker now. ..... Peruse the Non-smoking cat and dog threads in time of need and keep posting

AK, Keep up the good fight. It takes time and there is no substitute for time. You can try and ignore it, or endure it, or even embrace it. You can just about anything but run away from it. Because the cravings are a part of you. The slow march of time as you carry abstinence with you will be the shades of change you hope for. Abstinence is a heavy burden in the beginning. One day it will be wind beneath your wings. The pain is transitory. The freedom is for the rest of your life.

Welcome! Sounds like you have just the attitude to get this done once and for all!!

Welcome Lordy and congratulations on 12 days smoke free. You are making it through the toughest days but things do get a lot better and life as a non-smoker is worth whatever early struggles you may have. It is good to have you here.

Great job, Mac!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You've made it through the toughest week and there's no stopping you now. Congratulations on your fabulous quit.

welcome @Amierouge ! congratulations on your quit. what kind of NRT are you using ? what is your step down plan ? This thread may be helpful to you in navigating around this site 10 Ways To Effectively Use This Forum To Stop Using Nicotine The whole deal about taking breaks... it wasn't so much I really needed a break, I could have easily gone on working. I needed a break to replenish my nicotine levels. Mostly it had everything to do with addiction. But, legitimate breaks, after completion of a job or when contemplating the next are beautifully done without cigarettes. Learning how to do everything without smoking is a big part of the journey, taking breaks were a big trigger for me, for others. I would sit on my back stoop and instead of smoke, take in big beautiful breaths of Oxygen. Oxygen was my new drug ! Deep breaths freshened my brain and revitalized me and became the new normal. Smoking Breaks

NOPE!!!!!
