Hi Everyone im back … Quitting Girl I loved Brugge…it’s a beautiful place …I say romantic … Brussels was busy ,but enjoyable … We had a day at Ypres ..Seeing all those war graves ..brought a tear …the lonely bugler playing the last post ..XX

Gus Quit Date: 3-17-21 Posted 1 hour ago -(edited) Sorry to hear @Breath-of-Power. This addiction is real. It is powerful. I don’t know how much time you’ve spent reviewing the information about nicotine and the additives that cigarettes contain, but the stuff literally rewires your brain. Your brain. That organ that controls everything about you. After the nicotine withdrawal it’s what you will be fighting against. Of course it’s going to fight against reconditioning. You try again. Again and again. You write down why you are quitting. The truth. The ugly part of it. Carry that around with you. Read it every time you want a smoke. We all have something that we want more than that cigarette and one day if we allow ourselves the liberty to do so, we just smash a link in that chain of addiction and crawl out from the unbearable weight of it and in time we find ourselves standing against it and some day dancing on it’s grave. There are good times to be had. For years you’ve had to base decisions around your ability to indulge in your habit. Being able to enjoy a smoke. Lies. Smoking puts so many constraints on so many aspects of your life. Step back and realize that it’s not only affecting you, but those you love most. Not in the second hand smoke way, but just being able to 100% be there for someone. It’s hard. Conquering this addiction is so hard, but doable. I hope that you hop back on the train. I hope that you take advantage of this thread you created. Post, post, post. Just writing down all of your thoughts helps so much. Everyone here has gone through what you are going through. No judgment here. Just encouragement and support. I hope that you will try again. Link to original post: https://www.quittrain.com/topic/25067-smokeless-thoughts/

Hello there, it is currently 12pm lunch time and very busy day. I was running in the morning, cold shower and donatet blood plasma as I do every 2 weeks. Also it is monday so my mailbox is crazy. However, I can happily say that it is now 3 days and 16 hours clean and going for 4 days with confidence Also, evenings in general are very difficult, Huge headache yesterday before sleep. But mornings are now very positive and easy, sleep is better and I didnt even realize this morning that I used to have any addiction! crazy...because before my first thing I do is vape as soon as I open my eyes. Thank you al for support, I think this is really going somewhere positive.

NOPE…..

You are really doing fantastic!! The longer you stay away from nicotine, the easier it will get. Just keep doing what you are doing and you will get there!!

It is quite amazing how brain works. Well it wasnt ready for humans to use drugs, because all brain does it to ensure we continue with this enormous intake of pleasure with minimum effort...And what we addicts are fighting again is our own surviving mechanism in brain, we are basically fighting the most difficult battle against our nature. So I have huge respect for everyone, who did actually win this battle. People who never experienced addiction will never understand.

20 SWACK!!

Congrats @Dejvis93! 3 Days is a fantastic start. I like that you're seeing the positives of quitting alread (better taste & smell). Think about all the $$ you're saving as well. That's a plus too. Keep forging ahead my friend and don't let anything get in the way of your mission to quit!

NOPE!!

NOPE!

Memorial weekend eight years ago today I decided I wasn't going to buy anymore cigarettes and quit. I had a pretty rough first year and I googled a lot of my symptoms the first three weeks and each time I did it led me to my first forum. I couldn't believe all the people willing to give their time to help another person succeed. It was truly awe inspiring so I signed up. It was the best decision I could have made to win the battle with this addiction. Now I get to offer my support along with the many others. I've made great friends from all over the world and have had some great laughs along the way.

Congratulations friend!! This is an amazing accomplishment dude. I’m proud of you! Look at all these ppl that look up to you and appreciate all you do for them (me included) I hope you treated yourself

Congrats on your quit, is it day 5 today, almost a week, fantastic

Keep at it! You'll get there but be aware, this nicotine addiction thing can be really tricky at times. You'll be sailing along feeling pretty good about things then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, a monster crave will hit you when you least expect it. Just be aware of that and ready to deal with it when it does happen. It's often when something else not even related to vaping happens in your life. Suddenly, your mind goes straight to what it thinks is it's comfort place (vaping). Carry on sir!

Welcome back my dear , xoxco

Aww Stewpot .. Life stinks sometimes …Hope you get relief soon .. I know you will keep that wonderful quit safe .xx

4…Quitting Girl ..Im back .

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.

I'm so glad you're doing so well @Dejvis93. The headaches are normal and should go away soon enough. Try eating something sweet.

Thank you Girl. Yea still dealing with it but this too will pass.

You are doing great @Dejvis93

3 Days !

You’re doing Great! I love your determination and positive attitude. They’ll carry you far.

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.

You are really doing amazing! Keep up the great work! It will definitely get easier, you just have to give it time.

Well getting hit from all sides. The MRI for the back has been denied from the state insurance. The new so called spine surgeon didn't include the proper notes with his information so I start all over. Just finished the Z pack 7 day steroid "barrage" which took the bite off but still quite debilitating. Trying to work the business has been a nightmare... Lets add the next issue...... Now I am sitting at home with pneumonia!! Worked last weekend while a little sick in the rain along with complications from the Steroids,,, can I say SH.T. Tests will be back today if maybe RSV is responsible? Forgot what hacking and constant coughing was. How about one more.... DJ and Shelbi already miscarried. The ONLY good take is that I still don't smoke. Except the steam coming from my ears.... Sorry for all the depression. KTQ, Stew.
