In my experience. there tends to be waves of challenging times that happen when we quit. They are most pronounced and most frequent in the first week or two, gradually (and I do mean gradually) lessening in intensity and frequency as the days/weeks go by. You can't rush the process you need to simply embrace it and tell yourself that your end goal (quitting for good) is the only thing that matters and do anything & everything you need to in order to ensure you reach your goal. There's no off/on switch to quitting. It's a process and takes considerable time to truely secure your life long quit. If you stick with it no matter what; you'll make it!

Stay focused on your end goal and you'll make it through those tough moments. As you say, they don't last long so when they come, get busy doing something; anything!

Glad you're tackling another quit attempt @MichelleDoesntSmoke2025! You should be well aware of the challenges of the early quit by now in that you've been here several times in the past. Hoping you have learned from past mistakes and that this time you understand that whether you quit or not is completely up to you and your unfailing determination to reach for a better life; not only for all the people you mentioned but most importantly ... for YOU! Quitting is certainly doable for everyone; you just have to put in the work long term to make it happen for you! You know that you'll get all the support you could ever need here on the train but in the end, it comes down to you and the effort you're prepared to make at staying quit long term. We'll all be here routing for ya

Rewards along the way to mark whatever milestones you feel are significant is an excellent idea I saved up all the money I'd saved over my first year of quitting and put that toward a cruise for myself & the wife. The first cruise ever where I wasn't hiding away on the ship in the smoking area and the first time not suffering through major withdrawal during the flights to get to and from the cruise port! It was win/win all around So by all means, reward yourself for a job well done!
