… and suddenly, Its almost been a week. I am doing good. One or two slightly difficult moments during the day, but thats pretty much it. I have a lot to be thankfull for: I am healthy, have a job, good friends and I live in freedom. I made a mantra about that, to remind myself that I have the luxury of choosing a healthy life. Its a privilege and to me its a gentle way of saying, ok, dont whine and get on with it. This positive attitude about it -> its somewhat ‘fake it untill you make it’ but it works. Focussing on what I gain and knowing that all these awkard feelings are essentially just a sign that im doing the right thing. I guess detox is over now, on to the next phase. I am excited about it, reminds me of my very first quit years ago. I am curious of the discoveries to come.

NOPE!

Nope

NOPE

Nope... no can do

Simply NOPE!!

NOPE!!

When you pack in and stand back you realise how utterly selfish it all is. We have all been there. They feel like they should be allowed to smoke anywhere. As I say, we have been on that side aswell. You only see that perspective knowingly when you pack in. Such a selfish act being a smoker.

Doing great! Keep rolling!

Happy birthday @Gus!! I guess your mom took the “labor” part quite literally!

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

I'm not familiar with these 'pouches' containing nicotine just as I am also not familiar with what chemicals in Chew causes so much mouth cancer among regular users but based on what I have seen or experienced with any & all products containing nicotine, none of those products are good. They ALL do their best to give the user an earlier than expected exit from this life and ALL of them seek to make money on the backs of addicts. In my mind, that's as low as humans can go in terms of treatment of fellow humans

Sounds like chewing tobacco to me and having known two people who died from cancer of the mouth because of chew that's as dangerous as it can get. It was horrible too as both these guys had parts of their mouths slowly removed to try to stop the spread. They lost their tongues, their teeth, and much more but it wasn't enough and they died. Also, since they suck on it they can use it anywhere I would imagine meaning they could be getting a lot of nicotine everyday.

NOPE!

Happy Labor Day and Happy Birthday @Gus

Rest in peace, Jimmy Buffett.

LOL Thanks, @DenaliBlues! She didn’t want to, believe me. I still get yelled at about that.

NOPE!

Nope!

I shared your comment with them and they are like:

NOPE

RIP Jimmy Buffett. You are in the background of so many memories.

Thank you @jillar and @johnny5!

Happy birthday @Gus!

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

day 5 = done. Yeah.

NOPE

Hope everyone who's celebrating this holiday has a great last weekend of summer planned! I've already felt the chill in the early morning air a few times this past week so autumn is on it's way but we get to have one last summer celebration this weekend. Make it a great one!

A friend said they have been using these for a couple years now, wonder how safe that is? Trying to figure out how to reply to them. We used On packs, these are still nicotine but like tiny flavored tea bags kept on the gum of the mouth.

Thanks @jillar sounds terrible, I just found them, looks similar to chew, but in packets maybe. https://www.onnicotine.com/

Well then ... Happy Birthday Gus!

I was born on Labor Day! LOL My mom had to leave the cookout because of me. I always have a great Labor Day weekend.

Australia is leading the way foward How anyone can afford to smoke there is beyond me .. I have a Neighbour who smokes , Listening to him sit on the step hacking up his lungs us the most horrible sound . I know hand on heart i will never ever take another puff .. Nevef had a smoking quest ,so i carnt comment .. I know i tried for many years to get my beloved friend to quit with me No such luck ..she told me to Stick Allen Carr up my Arse ..as you can imagine i gave up trying She has been passed away 5 years Died with Pancreatic Cancer due to smoking .. Never ever take another puff !!

Wow that's still a lot. In US$ for the 20 cig pack the conversion for A$ to US$ is $22. Way too much. I was getting my cigarettes from overseas not paying any tax and it they cost me about $34 for a carton which contains 10 packs, so it was very cheap. But then they had a problem with the shipping and the cigarettes weren't coming, so I decided to quit because even at $15 a pack here in NY, that is way too expensive for me. I still get cravings every once in a while since it's only been 3 months for me, but they definitely aren't as bad as that first month.

Spank that ass
