Pedro... our minds can do often be our worst enemies.... As it's been said ....You have to want to quit ...more than you want to smoke ... Once you have made that conscious decision that you are done with smoking once and for all ... You stop fighting with yourself.... All you have to do is not smoke ...everything else is just pants .... It might not always be easy ....but it's doable ... You have decades of a addiction to deal with ...so be kind to yourself ... Take it one minute at a time if you have to....just . Never stick anything in your mouth and set fire to it .

NOPE.

Nope

N O P E !

First you must get rid of all youor smoking items!! If you smoked in the car, have it cleaned and then that reminder will be gone. There is no easy way for most of us, you are the one that has to do it. I am at 16 months and I still stuggle, that is just the honest truth. I don't know your reason for quitting. Stay focused on the reason. You must have one or many. I had a couple and I just keep my eyes on the prize. I am sure you have worked hard for many things in your life and achieved those things This is the one that can save your life. This is one of the biggest things you can do for yourself!! Keep going, it gets better but I have reailized it is much like any other addiction. I will have to make this decision everyday for a long time.

Hello! Hopped the train October 15th and have been lurking for several days. I’ve been very appreciative of the insight and support I’ve seen here, and it’s helped me through these first, ready-to-smack-something-or-someone-husband-will-remain-nameless, weeks. Today is a wonderful day and tomorrow will be better

NOPE

@Pedro that was a really good post. having something like this to refer back to months from now and seeing how your thoughts change can really help get you through those first critical months of your quit. I put out a ton of posts and updates on my quit just so I could see how my thoughts had morphed. It was also very nice to see all the reactions I would get and to observe how those reactions changed as I changed. I think that might be the real magic of this board. Keep us posted on your progress and stick with it. you are well on your way.

Hi and welcome @Jaybird... Congrats on your fabulous 2 weeks ....we are here to help you along your journey ... Here is a well earned Pat on the back

Welcome and big congratulations on making it through your first two weeks,@Jaybird. Sounds like you are well on the road to freedom. Glad to have you on the train!

Glad you are sharing here, reading/learning, and trying to quit, @Pedro. Every person has their own journey, so I salute whatever works for you to stop smoking for good. Along the way, beware of all the tricks that an addicted mind will try to play on you. I have always found the greatest threats to my quit to be internal - not external. Agree with @jillar and @overcome that tossing the tobacco and other smoking accessories is part of the process. NOPE!

Yay for the Chicks!!

NOPE!!!!!!!!!

A couple more cooking YouTube channels..... All Wings Everything - I think this guy is from Alabama (USA) and he has some good, somewhat simple recipes https://www.youtube.com/c/AllWingsEverything Chuds BBQ - All sorts of grilling tips from Texas. https://www.youtube.com/c/ChudsBbq

Hey @Pedro For me it is simple and I "try" to keep it simple....... just don't smoke, not easy, but simple. Anything that might temp me, extra cigs/packs, lighters etc. I got rid of them to give myself the best chance for success.

You're way over thinking this one Pedro. The only thing this is is someone who needs to quit smoking also. What IS a near smoking experience is having that packet of tobacco and rolling papers! That's a dangerous thing to keep around when quitting as you've already experienced by smoking 3 a few days ago. I recommend getting rid of all of that. Out of sight, out of mind....

Welcome again @Jaybird and congrats on two weeks quit already, that's AWESOME!

Congrats @Jaybird and welcome!

NOPE!

Now seems like a good time to post the two immutable rules for a successful quit... Rule #1: DON'T SMOKE! Rule #2: If you have any further questions, refer back to Rule #1.
