Reciprocity

Hey Gus! Welcome to Quit Train! A place where all will welcome you as a fellow quitter and give you all the support you want. There's also a ton of information and videos here about quitting. This place can make a big difference to someone just starting out who's feeling a little lost. First of all, quitting is an emotional experience, particularly in the early days so don't worry about that. It will settle soon enough. I too did not tell anyone in my family or my friends or coworkers I'd quit for some time. Don't know why. Probably so I wouldn't look like a fool if I caved in right away. I think that's pretty normal to have reservations about shouting out your intentions from the roof tops. My recommendation to you is to have a look around this forum and use all the information to your advantage. Stay close to this place for support. Anyone can quit with a solid commitment and a little support along the way

Good job Jeff! As breakfast food said; reward yourself for getting through a challenging time. Rewards are good. Every day going forward try challenging yourself to think about 1 good thing you have experienced since quitting. Saved money, better breathing, not having to hide from rain to smoke - whatever. There's many so pick one out every day and really focus on that benefit. Positivity beats negativity every time and soon you will start seeing the truth about nicotine addiction. It will happen - have faith!

" I have tried about every method of quitting Chantix, wellbutrin, cold turkey, patches. I have watched many hours of Joel Spitzer's videos, always making that commitment to never take another puff. But my commitment is just not strong enough! I get tired of lying to myself." That's a quote from your 1st post here May 18, 2020. You stated your commitment isn't strong enough. It appears that hasn't changed You're still romancing the cigarette and smoking in general. This is something only YOU can change and you MUST change that thinking in order to quit long term. The alternative is putting yourself through the withdrawal process over and over and over again. That's no way to live; it's torture! You need to have a real heart to heart talk with yourself Jeff and decide if you want to quit more than you want to smoke. If the answer is yes. then fight for it and sweep those smoky thoughts out of your mind. If the answer is no then it's back to feeding you addiction and throwing away all the work and pride you have put into this quit. The choice is yours and yours alone. Choose wisely Jeff.
