NOPE Craving a cigarette, so good time to pledge for a new day. Going to bed to sleep it off. There's always a way around or through or over or under a craving, if one just looks hard enough, and wants to find a way enough.9 points

I found the best way for me to get past the morning craving was to change up my routine. I forced myself to hop in the shower first thing and get moving! If weather was nice, I would take a walk around the neighborhood or walk the dog. I have progressed over the past 3 years to where I am now doing hiking!!!6 points

Sorry...being a bit daft here but is smokeless tobacco that chewing stuff or vaping?...not that it really matters both are a nicotine addiction. I was not a cold turkey quitter, I used nrt chewies (gum). If you do choose this method i suggest going in with an exit plan....while on the nrt you are still feeding the addiction so you need to be pretty strict with how you plan to cut down and stop the nrt. Set time frames and daily limits. We are all different but if you want to know shat worked for me im happy to share.5 points

Smoke or smokeless, you're a nicotine addict. Same as all of us here. Cravings for nicotine first thing in the morning and after a meal was normal for most of us and we successfully quit. You just have to practice self discipline just as if you were still in the military. This time instead of fighting for our freedom though you're fighting for your life. Don't give in to that big baby nicotine. Put your foot down and say enough is enough. You can do it up in smoke, and we'll support you along the way. Thank you very much for your service5 points

No you can not smoke in Vegas then stay quit when you return home. It doesn't work that way. Nicotine addiction is a lot different than occasional drinking or gambling. You're probably not addicted to either of those. IMO, you'd be nuts to throw away a 3 week investment in your healthier future. It's not as hard today for you to fight the cravings as it was three weeks ago so why cave now!4 points

You really have to know where to buy them because you're right, most wings are skin & bones with very little chicken on them. I never eat wings at a restaurant because they are always disappointing. Over cooked and what little meat is on them is all dried out. There's a market near where I live and they sell really large wings (uncooked of course), with the wing tips cut off (because there's zero meat there). These wings are really meaty. I can only eat about 6 in one sitting - maybe 8 if I'm really hungry. Eating them out somewhere, I'd eat 12 -16 and still be hungry4 points

You, like us, are nicotine addicts. We cannot have just one. This is impossible and if you listen to the addiction instead of the Truth, you will remain a slave.4 points

Congratulations on your quit, Michael. Hold on to your commitment with everything you've got. Your craves and urges and triggers will pass. Stay focused and reward yourself for beating this.4 points

You don't need to use nrt cheque. You could just use normal stuff...um maybe that cinnamon stuff cos it has a bit of a bite to it. The action of chewing is still met without the nasty poisons and drugs.4 points

Many here too...just change the word smoke for chew...same principle.... Down load it for free.. You can do it ...4 points

Good job Up in smoke, Now the real work begins. The cravings are just the by product of your inner junkie looking for the nicotine it needs. The brain needs to constantly send mental memos to the body telling it that you're no longer going intake nicotine. This will be a struggle for a little while but it will get easier with time. Stick by the boards and educate yourself as much as you can. This will help you in your fight for freedom from the nicotine monster.4 points

Welcome up in smoke, I also quit cold turkey during my quarantine at home. You're a nicotine junkie like the rest of us. So, the big question is whether or not you want to still be enslaved to nicotine. If you decide to give up nicotine then that's when the real work begins to kick the habit. It's not an easy task but achievable none the less. This is something that you need to be 100% committed to or it will not work. We will support you the whole way. They're are great articles and videos to help you with the knowledge that you need to help with your quit. They're a vast amount of of people here in different stages of their quit. They will help you in any way. So, hop on the train and enjoy the ride to eliminate addiction.4 points

As Johnny says, no matter where you smoke, you will bring it back and continue when you get home. I think you know that anyway. Definately junkie thinking and romancing the times, you did it before and enjoyed it. Its just nostalgia! Leave it there in the past, and stay smoke free. It will get easier in time, and you will learn to love your new smoke free life, and feel comfortable that you dont want or need that anymore. Stay positive.3 points

Trying to be good. Sugar Britches has told me time-and-again that we need to get Maddie on a schedule where she sleeps in her crib. I know she's right. That being said, I really want to go in there and play with my baby.3 points
