Reciprocity

Hey D! Unfortunately, it's all part of the early days. Do what ever you have to NOT TO SMOKE. That's really critical at this point. Cry your eyes out or come here and rant & rave. We don't mind and it'll be good for you. If you end up waking at crazy hours of the night with nothing to occupy your mind, come here and go to the games page. You can get lost there for hours playing whatever games strike your fancy. I spent hours there in my early days. You are going cold turkey I believe. I did as well. Those first days were challenging for sure but, you CAN do it.

Also hope @DizzyD and @kallisonmk check in soon as well. We're a bit like mother hens here when it comes to new quitters. We get worried when you stray too far from home

18 back to the start of the day

There you go. Fresh coat of paint as a reward for quitting. Love it!

Wow! Lots of input here on this one Here's my 2 cents worth: Freshening the smell - get fabric items in your home cleaned - carpets, drapes fabric covered furniture. That's what holds the smokey smell the most. If your walls are stained, by all means wash them down with whatever you like but understand that you may have to repaint depending on the paint finish on the walls you're washing. Do a small test spot first and let it dry completely to see if the paint color changes. Flat or eggshell finish (most often used in living areas/bedrooms/closets) do not wash well. They may end up streaky and faded after washing. Gloss or semi - gloss finish (most often used in kitchens & bathrooms) withstands washing pretty well. Keep yourself occupied and stay focused on your quit. That's job 1 for now .

Yes! That's it. Small goals (one day at a time) are very achievable. They add up and develop into the end goal before you know it

NOPE!

Remember with fondness your good memories of that place and look forward to what you might find in your new beginnings. Remorse for the casualties of progress will not give you one good thing - kind of like smoking.

That's GREAT Abby! 73 days invested in your quit represents that many days that you have cleansed your body of chemicals contained in cigarettes and taken nothing but fresh, clean air into your lungs. THAT for sure is worth celebrating !

Something I found helpful in lessening that "morning one" craving was to change up my morning routine just a bit. I did things in a little different order than I did when I was smoking. That made me focus on what I was doing a little more I guess so my mind wasn't in idle thinking about smoking. Hope you learn lots today about this addiction. Understanding how nicotine addiction works is the key that will set you free!
