At 3 weeks, being less patient at work etc. has little to do with not smoking. I think you're just fed up and don't correlate having less patience with quitting smoking. The atmosphere and long hours are more likely the cause. How do you stop craving less at work? At this point, it's all mental so when you get this thought, instantly change your focus onto something that requires focus. For example, think about building your dream house, where it would be, what it would look like etc.; anything that requires concentration to shift your thoughts onto something positive. :)

HAHAHAHA That's pretty funny. NOPE!!

I read this and that's all that I needed to see because what followed is irrelevent to you quitting nicotine. The mindset that doing anything you can to not smoke cigarettes is keeping you addicted to nicotine and quite frankly, you're still smoking if you're vaping. You can rationalize all you want, but you're still inhaling nicotine into you lungs; something far different than traditional NRT. Vaping IS NOT NRT. In fact, big tobacco is behind this as it's another way to keep addicts buying their poision. Our belief in this support group is that NRT can be used to help in quitting smoking. However, the goal is to stop nicotine completely and quickly. Vaping is smoking as far as I'm concerned and is not NRT or the most preposterous notion of all, a safe alernative to smoking. I've seen enough, read enough and my bullshit meter over the years has become a very valuable instrument in detecting it. Please don't buy into the bullshit that big tobacco is selling as this is just the next generation of smoking products. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcPcVxA_WaA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAApE5yo3Nc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgqnM7e8aB0

We can't control what thoughts pop into our heads but what we can control is how we act on them. For me, when I think of smoking, it's not a craving - haven't had one of those in a long, long time. I see a massive difference between thinking of smoking and craving a cigarette. Early on, thoughts of smoking can lead to cravings but as time moves forward, those same thoughts will no longer lead to cravings. I never have and never will forget that I was once a smoker. I feel it's this very thought that keeps me grounded and not operating in a place of complacency where I risk entertaining thoughts of "just having one" and the many other junkie seeds which almost always lead to a relapse. Yes, the air is great without a plume of poision engulfing us. What were we thinking? :)

Exactly. Not one single puff ever again! Good Reasons To Take A Puff On A Cigarette After Having Quit Smoking For people who think that there are no good reasons to take a puff on a cigarette after quitting, and more importantly, for people who think that there might actually be good reasons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvHl-zwUdBo&index=47&list=PL4F05C03D0F9B86DB

Congrats!! Keep that strong quit going. :music2:

Sorry to hear about your Mom, Dee. Keeping you and your Mom in my daily prayers.

That's horrible! Chipotle has really tanked. In VA last month had had many instances of food poisoning.

Welcome aboard, Jack! Bend as many ears as you'd like, it's why we're here. For now, what are your three main concerns now after you've been quit one week?

Happy 4 smoke-free years!!!

Congratulations, Doreen!!!
