This addiction is crazy, I am working on finishing my last two cigarettes' tonight and head for bed. Only to be anxiously be waiting for tomorrow when I can start trying to flush out all the nicotine in my body as fast as I can, crazy! I have learned a lot here, thanks for you all's support.

G’day NOPE .....Not One Puff Ever.... (replace Ever with Min,Hour, Day as required)

Welcome aboard and stick close. Keep busy and realize there will be stressful times but believe in yourself that you can handle this. No special gifts here for those of us that have made it. Just tired of the addiction and realize it for what it is. I smoked for a long time also and after the first few weeks was surprised that it was not as difficult as I imagined. Believe in yourself that you can handle this because you can if you really want it. Stay close and reach out if need be. Best wishes.

Stick close in the beginning days @overcome, we got your back This addiction is crazy but you're well prepared for it. Drink lots of water or juice to help flush it out. The nicotine takes about three days to leave your body

Isn't it nice ...you are a Wonderful Non Smoker 👍😁

Shouting NOPE.....Not One Puff Ever .... I Remember shouting this out loud ....I'm sure it was thousands of times a day ....😁

@Dianne, each day you're smoke free is one day closer to feeling better so hang in there🤗

We are all addicts Sweetie ... We all want you to get to Freedom ....with a few bumps ,and fun along the way ....😁🐸

We have fun things here too,it keeps you busy... Play games ...laugh at the dogs and cats ... Quitting doesn't have to be all doom and gloom ,I think time passes faster when it's fun.. Don't forget our daily NOPE thread ...this is a great tool ..

These are all the tools I have been using to distract me so far - making tea, reading reading and more reading, I've rewatched Parks and Recreation as it's such a comforting thing, plus it's good to laugh hysterically and feel my lungs opening up! If I feel a craving hit I breathe in for a count of six, hold it and breathe out slowly. If that doesn't help and I'm at home I head for the shower and try to reset myself. At work I get up and walk around and shake myself off. I've also had several good cries, I doubt that's over yet. 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

Thank you to everyone for all the information on this site, I have been reading/learning since early this am. Preparing to quit Monday the 4th, taken the week off work to work through what I see as the toughest part (withdrawal's). I have quit various times in the past but never made it for more than a couple years, so am still hooked after 35years. My Son gave me some words of encouragement when talking about quitting with him last week, he text me "yep, think of all the stuff you've overcome ... quitting smoking wont seem as bad after" so that is my user name (overcome). Ordered Allen Carr's book so will read that tomorrow. Again thanks to all for the info and support.

Nixter Quit Date: 6/7/15 Posted June 27, 2015 So basically what I'm figuring out is that cigarettes and nicotine are big fat liars. For all those years they kept me at their beck and call by making me afraid. I was afraid to quit because I thought I wouldn't be able to have fun without a cig. LIE. I was afraid to quit because I thought it would be too hard. LIE. I was afraid to quit because I thought every day would be like day 1. LIE. I was afraid to quit because I wouldn't be "me" without my smokes. LIE!! I am telling you, I feel more joy at social situations than I ever have!! Why? Because I can concentrate on having fun instead of worrying when I can sneak outside for a cigarette. I physically feel soooo much better already. And I'm also really proud of myself. But I have to be honest and say I'm a little pissed that I was duped for so long. Anyway, I'm so happy to be a non smoker. Thanks for being here for me!

Get in line again sticks .....my hand will be sore 😀

Apart from reading this board, another thing that really helped me get through the first few weeks was to stay busy. Lots of physical activity. Tasks to keep my hands occupied. Mindless stuff listed out in advance (because the brainfog really clobbered me). Just constant motion. Not only did that help me power through the cravings, it helped me manage the cauldron of feelings that surfaced, as well. (“Dunno what to do with that emotion… oh well I guess I’ll just wash the car windows.”) Glad you have nicotine lozenges in your quit kit. I found the fruit minis to be very helpful in a pinch. I, too, lost a multi-year quit once. Thought I could be a casual/occasional smoker. But that was a delusion… within a month of my “just for tonight” choice I was back to more than a pack a day, with nicotine controlling me. It took me decades to quit again. This QuitTrain group is a big part of my quitting commitment this time… it’s helpful to have such a wonderful group of supportive people and accountability buddies who understand what quitting is like. Good luck with your count-down today!

I used to date a girl that had a twin. People used to ask me- “how do you tell them apart?” I’d say Lisa painted her nails green, and Bob had a dick

George, This is a thread about your first days Nicotine FREE. You are still using Nicotine and keeping yourself addicted. The point here is ridding yourself of nicotine completely so you can be Free, Of getting through craves WITHOUT any nicotine at all. This is perfectly do-able and something you will need to face at some point.
