Be careful with coffee. "Anyone who feels jittery after a few days of quitting should examine his or her caffeine consumption levels. Many find that they cannot tolerate caffeine consumption at prequit levels," says Spitzer. "If you are experiencing a jittery feeling you may want to experiment with reducing quantity or strength of caffeinated drinks or products." https://whyquit.com/pr/041407.html

No need to say sorry, good for you to reach out. Its been a long time since i smoked in the house, but I remember I put cups of water with vinegar in the house, vinegar attracts odours (and flies!). I even sprayed it on the couch. The smell of the vinegar itself diasappears after a while. Windows open, curtains in the washing machine... enjoy!

Scary news, Abby! Hope you will know more soon. Take care while waiting for news. Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy!! Long time favorite! "Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space." Oh and...

First of, welcome! Nice to have you here and thanks for introducing yourself. I bet you are busy all the time, fighting specific moments...like, after dinner, first of the day, coffee etc. I wrote it all down at the time, to get a more honest view on things conquered. Our brains are experts in deceiving, for example thinking on day 8 its still as bad as the first few days. While in reality its... a different bad, ha! Are you planning on keeping a diary?

When Did You Have Confidence In Your Quit ?
MLMR replied to Sazerac's topic in Quit Smoking Discussions
I have good confidence that I will reach the one year mark. Its the straightforward confidence of NOPE. But. That doesnt mean I am free of the thoughts, the many addict voices, the rotten days, the 'will this ever end-s'. Still there, though not at all what it was. I am sure that maintaining my quit through some dramatic life events like the death of a loved one and breakup doubled confidence. I long for happier days and I know that by the time they arive, the excess of addiction has made room for a more grounded me. Yes, I am confident about quitting and it means the world to me to be able to say that! -
