Great work @SD2026! A third of a year smoke free! Be sure to reward the efforts to reach this point. Rewards along the way are an important way to recognize all your efforts. And, you probably didn't know this but ... at the 4 month mark YOU, SD2026; get to take a week's break from playing the counting game!! What a nice surprise eh?

Glad to see you still hanging in there @stzr500! You have a lot of emotional & physical effort invested in this quit now; even more reason to forge ahead until you bury these terrible cravings. I expect some relief is close on the horizon. Keep the faith!!

Welcome back @Pilgrim! We had actually just posted a celebratory message to you thinking you were now 3 months smoke free. In any case, I'm glad you're back for another start at finding YOUR freedom! You know the drill ... NOPE! (Not One Puff Ever). One day at a time will get you to your destination. Cat's & boxes😆

Glad to see you're still toughing it out @stzr500! Also happy @johnny5 as able to find what you were looking for. I know it's really tough right now but you're doing the right thingby raging against nicotine addiction. And know that it WILL get gradually easier in the days to come.

@stzr500, I forgot to mention The Daily NOPE Pledge thread. Some people find it helpful to renew their commitment to quit & stay quit by posting NOPE (Not One Puff Ever) in this thread. The idea is that you're just committing not to smoke for one day; today! Often when we think of quitting we look too far ahead and it all seems overwhelming but if we take smaller bites, such as just one day, it seems more doable. Just wanted you to know that thread was there in case that's of interest to you.

Vaping has often been promoted as the 'safer way to get nicotine into your body' but truth is, vaping hasn't been around long enough for long term studies to show the possible harm it does to the human body. As far as I'm concerned, anything but fresh air that we beath into our lungs has a potential to harm us. Even fresh air these days is getting harder and harder to find, depending on where one lives which adds more wehight to not introduce anything else to our lungs that may have a negative effect. There's a section on this forum with threads about vaping. Perhaps you could read those as a source of infomation? https://www.quittrain.com/forum/18-vaping-juuling-unquestionable-addiction-reckless-aftermath/
