Hello hello hello, it is currently sunday 7:13am time in Prague, Czechia. I am about to go through another 12 hours shift, today I forget my chewing gums home, but I did not take any money with me so I cannot buy any kind of vape or nicotine So I should be fine today and get through day 3 smoothly, hope so! Yesterday evening my mood was pretty down. Mornings seem to be better with quitting, more optimistic. About this night, I did have a really deep sleep from 9pm to 3:33am and then wake up full of energy (you call it morning wood in english I think hahah - which should really tell positive things to a men´s health). I am surprised that after last night, this time was a deep rest and also some nice dreams. I noticed that I wake up easily, 3:33 I was full of energy and no red eyes, motivation to go out, see things, to live a life you know. Which kind of dissapears with addiction. I already knew that before but when I go through this recovery I can feel it again. The life´s beauty shines through the nicotine shield slowly but surely! I am happy to enjoy things such as good food, ray of sunshine, aromatic things, good music. These things go to the background with shaded mind that is ill with addiction. So Have a nice sunday all, I am clean now 2 days and 11.5 hours, not going to give up at least today no As I gave my promise and thank you for all the support, may the power be with you all.5 points

Finishing day 3 without nicotine slowly but surely, another 12 hour shift is getting shorter. Should be done here in 3 hours and nice dinner is waiting after another 22 hours fasting with water only. today no chewing gums with me, but drinking 3L of water and so far so good...I am quite confident to finish 3 days clean, at this moment.3 points

Fair warning, I’m gonna be blunt here. Not to criticize, but to support the part of you that clearly wants to quit - or else you wouldn’t be here. Nicotine addiction will justify itself in order to maintain its grip on your life. Beware of the web of lies addiction can weave to keep you trapped. As a smoker, I spun out a lot of rationalizations about how smoking was natural, spiritual, mind-clearing, something my soul would be bereft without. In hindsight, it turns out that was 100% crap. Just my excuses to keep smoking. I wasn’t drawn to a higher plane… I was a junkie hooked on nicotine the same as any junkie hooked on heroin. Every person’s journey is their own, and everyone has to come into reckoning with their addiction in their own way. So whatever works for you is great. But at the end of the day, the only way to stop smoking is… to actually stop smoking.1 point

Such doubts are the addicted part of your brain putting up a fuss about not getting its nicotine fix. This part of your brain will tell you all kinds of stories… that smoking isn’t too bad, that quitting is too hard, that smoking is so gratifying, that just a little puff wouldn’t hurt. All lies! Don’t fall for them. Stay strong, stay busy, protect your precious quit. Throw away the smokes…soak them in water or pee to destroy them. You can do this.1 point

The only people who can't are those who give up. You have to be willing to go through the bad days to get to the good days. We all had to.......1 point

Think about it. You are now officially a non smoker. You quit smoking 2 days ago. Carbon monoxide is now out of your body In 1 more day your body will be nicotine free. You are no longer a smoker unless you decide to start smoking. Congratulations now you just need to remain a non smoker.1 point
