Putting away summer clothes, some that should probably be turned officially into rags. I am looking a bit tattered lately, sigh, but I don't look muggable which is v. good. Shabby Chic is not just for furniture.

Now eviscerating vile, evil relative. Peace

Today is a new day, Imfree ! and you are into a whole week of your freedom. Celebrate and reward yourself. YOU QUIT SMOKING !!! This is awesome !

I am an addict also and I built a successful quit, just because we are addicts doesn't mean we have to fail our quit. Lots of people quit, if it was too hard nobody would quit. The beauty of this is the benefits that shine down on you when you quit. You mentioned smell and taste...there is breath and blood flow...etc...and a new trust and confidence in yourself. Education is the best tool in our toolbox. Glad you are watching Joel, he is a treasure trove of information. Here is Joel's Library our friend, Cristóbal recommends watching 3 videos or more a day in the beginning, just to get your head really in the game. I know you can put your addiction to sleep and look forward to celebrating with you.

Congratulations on your first week of freedom, Carezas ! Reciprocity is on hiatus for a bit but, there are lots of us here to help you. Quits only fail for one reason and that is because we choose to smoke. Being clear and honest with ourselves and our commitment to NOPE (Not One Puff Ever) is the only way. Educate yourself about nicotine addiction and enjoy your Freedom !

You don't need more reasons to quit, do you ? The poisons you are ingesting are deadly. Was this an NRT quit that failed ? A vaping quit that failed ? Are you smoking now ? Why ? Educate yourself about nicotine addiction, this will give you more incentive to quit and help you to understand what you are going through. Glad you are back with us. Read. Read, Read until your eyes bleed and build yourself a successful quit.

I agree with everything @Boo posted. I quit cold turkey and highly recommend quitting this way. Free and clean. Just stop smoking or ingesting nicotine. It is a poison, you know. Educate yourself about nicotine addiction. I offer two links from our friend, Joel Spitzer Pharmacological Crutches and Keeping NRT in case of emergency

Welcome, Tigermatt to our merry little band of quitters. Here is a post about The Great Smoke Free Mental Fog Let us know how you are feeling and we can point you to materials that will help you build a sturdy and successful quit.

Beautiful post, M. It has been astounding watching your journey and reading your posts. We are so lucky you found us and have shared so much of yourself here. You quit smoking....and the residual effects will continue to reveal themselves. The honesty involved affects everything and the trust we earn in ourselves shines a light on everything we do.
