Posted 30 March 2015 - 09:14 AM by hermine (qsmb) Quitting smoking leaves us with a terrible emptiness that, for a while, we don't know exactly how to handle. And we may even ask ourselves if we will ever be able to fill these voids with anything. What helped me to get over this was eventually understanding that the source of the problem wasn't the absence of cigarettes, but the mere existence of those terrible feelings I was dealing with. They were there all along, but I was trying to cover them all up with smoke... The moment I stopped smoking, I started to realize and acknowledge all those things that were wrong in my life and I've been trying to get rid of by hiding behind a curtain of cigarette smoke. But they didn't disappear, they have been watching me silently and now, as the smoke cleared, we are starting to make eye contact again. Should I light a cigarette so I become blind again? Or should I finally tackle the beasts? The answer is clear. I will attack. So ask yourself, as you are ripped by this feeling of emptiness: is it ok that a small piece of paper filled with tobacco has become such an important part of my life? Is it ok that I have become emotionally attached to a small piece of paper filled with tobacco?! Don't hide behind the curtain of smoke again. Don't choose to run again. Make the most of the fact that you are finally capable to see your life as it really is and you finally have the chance to fill those voids. Fill your short and precious life with people, places, hobbies and knowledge. Put things that actually matter inside those voids, because blowing smoke inside them will never, ever, make them disappear.

Sounds delicious @notsmokinjo, we have brown gravy too. The pale lumpy stuff is usually for biscuits and gravy. The lumps are pieces of sausage(yummy). Happy mums day to you

Welcome @Georgia B., congratulations on quitting both cigarettes and vaping We have a whole forum dedicated to Vaping so be sure to check it out as well as all our other boards

Yay @Kris and @Lindafor saving kris's quit. This made my day already And Kris, maybe part of your depression is thinking you should be past all the struggle but you shouldn't be so hard on yourself. Its going to take as long as it takes. Mine took a full year with bad days sprinkled in after that. Your addiction is thinking oh shit she REALLY was serious about never smoking again. Its doing everything it can to lure you back in so stand your ground because I promise you it WILL get better

I'm here!

Congratulations on four months quit @Sunnyside, and thank you for your continued support here. I hope you have a great day!

Sirius Quit Date: May 27, 2014 Posted May 23, 2017 ...and now you don't get rid of me that easily. :rtfm: When I started my quit I found that time was my enemy. I fought for each moment to stay nicotine free. :hunter: The moments became day-to-day issues. Then just occasional cravings. :unsure: Eventually time becomes your friend again. More time in the day to do things other then poison yourself. :paint2: More total time in your life to enjoy (bonus to lifespan). More money (lack of smoking expense) to enjoy the more time you have. :beach: Holy Guacamole; more time AND money!?!? :party: You gets your cake and gets to eat it too?? :yahoo: Moreover your time is of better QUALITY. Can taste and smell better. Less coughing and illnesses. Smoke free means you are a better Lover (you don't smell/taste like an ashtray). :girl_in_love: Now we are at: More time. More money. Better time. Better love. if you need more and better reasons you need a serious and comprehensive reality check. The Quit Train is Happy to see you. :welcome: Link to original post: https://www.quittrain.com/topic/8557-one-year-commitment-completed-and-now/

Hi @Marie71, glad to see you're still on the train. We've had many members who quit with the help of Chantix. I used it myself years ago and quit for three weeks and stopped taking it because of how expensive it was and relapsed. So I recommend taking it for the whole three months minimum to ensure your success
