  5. Welcome aboard Pedro. Good call on giving up the smokes. You are an addict. You're going to want a smoke from time-to-time. There's a saying around here: "A crave is not a command." There will be times when you want to smoke but resist the urge because you've made a commitment to yourself. Those are the moments where quits are built. A bit of momentary discomfort for a lifetime of freedom is a good deal.

  8. I probably "quit" for a day between 50-100 times before I pledged to really quit. There's nothing wrong with not smoking for a day, but in the grand scheme of things it won't make a difference in the big picture of life. It is only by breaking the shackles of this addiction that you'll achieve true freedom, improved health, and a real sense of accomplishment. Look at all the educational material here, learn from other's experiences, and make the commitment to quit once and for all. It's doable and worth any short term discomfort.

  10. Who knows how far this thread will go. I decided tomorrow I'll try a smoke free day. And I'll keep posting important info about it on this thread. This is my quittrain thread. Feel free to comment. tomorrow is first day of october. I can say for now that my mind is rebelling against the idea of not having cigarettes around (as I have none now with me). sSO this is something. a mind feeling the lack of the object.

  14. I agree with @jillar once you put that last cigarette out, you really have quit, at least until you light up again. Why not start your quit now? It is good to take it one day at a time but quitting for good is very doable. Focus on making it through tomorrow, or the next hour, or the next minute, etc. With time smoke free, you will see that you are much better without cigarettes. As far as your mind rebelling against the idea of not having cigarettes around, that is the mind of nicotine addiction. The key is to rid yourself of nicotine and you will adjust physically and emotionally with time to being a nonsmoker. Any early struggles are worth it long term.

  15. Good decision Pedro and did you know that your quit starts the minute you put out your last cigarette and since you don't have any cigs left why not just start now?

  21. Welcome, and congratulations on the best decision you'll ever make. I didn't quit using an NRT, but many on this board have and I'm sure they will have lots of information to share. The best armor to wear during a quit is knowledge. Know your enemy, nicotine. There is a wealth of knowledge here (the green tacks at the top of the main board) and whyquit.com

  23. @notsmokinjo Yes i was going through a really tough time .That was one of the reasons i smoked a lot My studies are over now . I got my bachelors degree in commerce . After that i joined an accounting course , its going on now .Its an online course from an institution and they are conducting the classes online through the Zoom software . I learned a lot of things about accounting from the past few weeks of classes and i am really happy . The classes will the there for at least 6 more months . I am planning to get SAP certified by the end of the course . Its again not an easy task . I hope i can finish the course without getting infected from Covid - 19 That is another thing that is causing a lot of stress these days . Its everywhere in my town . Waiting for a vaccine since the last few months . The stress is always there in life , but i do not depend on smoking to relieve any of those .It comes and goes . Thanks for the reply @darcy Oh yes it is a big accomplishment and i feel happy without any hyper mental activities

  30. Welcome amyen and congratulations on deciding to take your freedom back. Have you stopped smoking yet? If I remember correctly when I tried it I continued to smoke the whole first week but noticed I craved cigs a lot less after the first week or so and quit altogether. I managed to stay quit for three weeks and stopped taking it and almost instantly went back to smoking so I HIGHLY recommend to stay on it for the recommended duration of I believe three months. Plus you'll love the dreams lol You'll get as much support as you need or want here as well as a ton of info on our addiction plus a Social section that's pretty good at getting our minds off smoking for a while so take a look around

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
