Hey guys, you’ll probably be hearing from me a lot cause I’m on day 3 and it’s rough. I think my biggest issue right now, and what the nicotine addiction is using to try and trick me into smoking, is that I actually enjoyed smoking and used it as a reward. I know rationally that smoking isn’t enjoyable and there are zero health benefits or anything in them that would make you “relax” but I’m too used to smoking after I finish cleaning, or watering plants, or working and I always think of how I “earned” it. So stupid. Any advice to get out of this frame of thinking?

Thanks for all the encouragement. I’m really struggling today. I’ve hardly been able to sleep the last 2 days, and I just feel so anxious. I know they say a craving only lasts about 10 minutes but I swear it feels like it’s been nonstop for 2 days.

@jillar I really liked the book, and felt like I resonated with a lot of it, but for some reason I thought it would be like magic quitting, and so far this is my hardest quit yet. I want it to be my last because I desperately want to be done smoking before I’m 30. I just can’t believe how emotional I am this time around. I’ve cried like 4 times today lol @Reciprocity I was just looking back at our old messages today, and it honestly made me feel like a huge dummy for ever going back. I really underestimated how strong the addiction is and how hard it would be to quit again. I know I did it to myself and need to stop feeling sorry for myself, but it’s soooo hard, ughhhh

I finished reading the Allen Carr Easy Way yesterday and smoked my last cigarette 15 hours ago. I felt so confident yesterday, but now I’m sitting here in tears because I don’t understand why it doesn’t feel as “easy” as the book says.

Thanks so much, everyone!! I’m just now seeing this! I’m feeling great & loving being a non smoker. I appreciate everyone’s support so much! 1 month down, forever to go

Hey guys, I’m Kenzie & this is my second time quitting and returning to this site. I’m 27, and started smoking when I was 14. I’m from Texas! I quit smoking again 12/12/2021. I log in here everyday and kind of creep around when I’m feeling like I want to smoke, and it really does help! Plus it’s comforting to know I could SOS and have so many awesome people to help.

Nope!

Nope!

Cravings were tough today, but instead of smoking I rewarded myself with this big badass bowl of Greek yogurt. what did you do instead of smoking today?

Thanks everyone! Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a blessed new year!
