What facts ? The fact that i use Nicotine gums so that i can stop inhaling smoke in my lungs ?

Sazerac ignored , There i did it . I feel better when i do not read your posts

It works for me , that is why i use it . Why is that sort of so hard for you to understand ? This nicotine gum exactly is the reason why i have not damaged my lungs with smoke since the past 3 months , Lol You talk like you know it all , Lol How does one ignore a profile in this forum ?

I do not like reading your posts Sazerac to be honest . You know why , because every one has a way to stop inhaling the smoke You have not even figured that out , Lol What do you think people come out of some factories ?

I do not have that really bad cravings anymore . One day i made a decision to kill the cravings with Nicotine gums alone . And it has been working since the past 3 months I mean every time i have a craving , I try to kill it with a nicotine gum . The cravings could be there for the rest of my life , Let it be there , I do not care . I have decided that the only thing i am going to feed my depressed mind is a nicotine gum and nothing else Good luck staying smoke free

@notsmokinjo Thanks for the reply I have clearly finished 2 months without smoking . I feel really good , there was cravings but it was not that strong . I have even managed to avoid smoking without using gums for at least 7 days . I keep buying these gums these days so that i can chew it whenever i feel really bored . One important thing i learned is that the cravings for a smoke is always there , you simply stop thinking about cigarettes .That is the best way to avoid it . I don't even think about cigarettes much these days , It does not interest me anymore , which is a really good thing . @Christian99 Thanks for the reply . Well , whenever i get bored i think of everything else other than cigarettes . Thanks for all the support

End of February too , No smoke went in . Some cravings in 2 or 3 days , i go out and eat a nicotine gum and its gone . I think it is officially over . Thank god

Thanks for the reply Linda , I am taking another break from the forums . Sometimes it so important to talk something else . I have been looking for some other good health related discussion forum too . Anyway i will be back after February . Now i know all the tricks and tools to avoid smoking

Hello , i have not been able to post about my quitting journey for a while now but , I have not smoked any cigarettes since the last 3 weeks . Well its been really more than 3 weeks away from smoke . And i am very happy these days . I have been using nicotine gums for the past 3 weeks . I had no mood to post for the last few weeks , because it was mostly talking a pledge and breaking it after a week or two . But this time i did it . I do not remember the exact date but i am sure it been more than 3 weeks . I feel a lot more healthier now What i learned is that , talking to the right people is so important and talking to the wrong people can make you feel mental . Some people are simply useless talking to

@Nancy , @despair not Thanks for the tips I will do everything i can to avoid it this time

Thanks a lot for the reply despair not . I have to think positive now . First time my quit lasted for 6 days . Second time it lasted for 24 days . This time this has to be forever

@notsmokinjo A bit of a disaster after 24 days of not smoking . Was drinking , i had lots of stress and lighted up one . So there goes my 24 days quit . I am restarting again

Please help . I want to restart now

@StewieTech Thanks for the reply , I am not using the forum much these days . Keeping the internet activity to a minimum I have loads of assignments to finish for the 5th semester distance education course , bit stressed out . So staying away from the PC too Have fun everyone

@reciprocity , @notsmokinjo I am doing alright , some mood swings and i am trying to keep the PC usage to a minimal The only issues is when i run out of nicotine gums at night Thanks for the suggestions too I tried reading some children book at night , it was not that bad . Must get some books related to history , civilizations and religions .Those books are my favorite Old name is back too Thanks for all the reply

@reciprocity Thanks for the reply 13 days and holding strong . I ran out of gums yesterday night , that is why the strange difficulty and craving . Woke up in the morning , went out and bought a pack of gums and ate one .Feels normal again Now that i think about yesterdays craving it was a bit weak compared to older ones . I think the cravings will get weaker and weaker as time passes . I almost gave up yesterday . Its so important to sit in a silent place when you have lots of cravings , another point learned

@jillar I have no idea why every evening at the exact same time , between 7 and 9 , i have to go through hell I have no idea how i manage myself to get out of that urge to smoke . I got out of it again somehow , 12 days without smoking and i still do not know why i have so much cravings for a cigarette at these times . It must be the gums , but i chew gums to kill some boredom when i stare into the computer screen and forums . All these cravings leave if i give it enough time , and that time is not an hour or 2 . It takes at least 3 hours for me to feel better Anyway still continuously fighting addiction even after 12 days . Is this even normal ? I really thought it would go away after a week

11 days 9 hours and i still have not smoked a single cigarette . Today i had a very unusually strong urge to smoke in the evening but somehow managed to do a triple jump and avoided it . I am so proud of myself for avoiding that even though i was struggling a lot God , i know it will go away if you stay strong , sometimes you have to stay very very strong to avoid cigarettes That is all .

@StewieTech , I just liked this two lines of the song to be honest , lol Good day to be alive, Sir Good day to be alive, he said Nowadays eating less than 5 gums daily . I do not need gums in the morning I do not need it at noon time But in the evenings after 6 . I cannot stay away from the smoking cravings without it

@StewieTech , Thanks for the reply ... Here is the answer , lol Metallica - No Leaf Clover , i reversed the text in a little application , lol [Verse 1] And it feels right this time On this crash course with the big time Pay no mind to the distant thunder New day fills his head with wonder, boy Says it feels right this time Turned it around and found the right line Good day to be alive, Sir Good day to be alive, he said [Chorus] Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel Is just a freight train coming your way Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel Is just the freight train coming your way [Verse 2] Doesn't it feel right like this All the pieces fall to his wish Sucker for that quick reward boy Sucker for that quick reward they said [Chorus] Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel Is just a freight train coming your way Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel Is just the freight train coming your way It's coming your way It's coming your way [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel Is just a freight train coming your way Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel Is just the freight train coming your way It must be the gums , i think i am a nicotine gum addict now , 9 days and 13 hours without smoking . I feel really good right now !!!!!!!!!

So i am trying to figure out ways to stay fresh somehow during the evenings

@jillar , Found an awesome article online I think everyone trying to quit should read this . Focusing on the Important Stuff in an Age of Distraction In a world saturated with social media and unlimited interruptions, many of us struggle to focus on what’s in front of us. With so many voices vying for attention, it’s hard to know what’s worth our time https://goinswriter.com/distraction/

Thanks for the reply WeegieWoman , I was reading this right now , I hope it helps you too Focusing on the Important Stuff in an Age of Distraction In a world saturated with social media and unlimited interruptions, many of us struggle to focus on what’s in front of us.

I think being out of focus is a major part of everyday life . You know , times when you are not able to focus on anything specific . I always have this feeling that when you smoke it puts you back on focus quickly . Maybe i should try some meditation techniques , in that way if i do not have anything specific to focus on , at least i can focus on my breathing part . One more important point added , do not try to overcome the everyday out of focus issues with smoking . 9th successful day without smoking . Sometimes the inability to focus is making me thinking about smoking again . But i am not going to smoke . "You need to work to strengthen your 'focus muscle' and figure out what is distracting you "

The evening hyper mental times aside i am feeling great One week over and the pull of the brain for a cigarette is still strong I really thought all the cravings would go away after a week . It could be again one of these issues , H.A.L.T. (Hungry,Angry,Lonely,Tired) I am feeling lonely tired and therefore angry too . I am also trying to avoid too much computer usage at night times Thanks for all the support
