nicotine_free

I really needed this affirmation today, NOPE!

NOPE, not today

Thanks @AceWhite for the warm welcome, it really makes all the difference as I go through my day rejecting smoking thoughts.

@KELThank you, I am very happy to have found this place. The support offered here makes my smoke-free day! I'm on day 23 and going strong.

Way to go, Yoda! You are an inspiration to this newcomer. If you can do it, hopefully I can do it too. Great job!

Thanks @jillar I look forward to the day I break even from the cost of the gum, it will take about a month before I'm really saving money. Instead I am focusing on the number if cigs not smoked, all that tar I did not put into my body, all those chemicals avoided, all that stink I didn't have to smell of.

Thank you, Boo. I don't yet know when the day will come for me that not smoking will not be the largest thing in my life but I look forward to that day nonetheless. Today I am confident that I will not take a puff and that is all I know for sure on day 22.

Thank you for responding to me with encouragement, it means a lot to me as I trudge my way through the first few weeks. I just chewed a non-nicotine gum instead and it feels like I have a real shot at quitting at the moment.

NOPE, not today no matter what lies my addiction is telling me

Thank you @jillar I created a ticker, I hope it worked.

Thanks again @jillar, I am very excited to have an online community to join and participate in. I will be sure to check out your suggestions. BTW, how do you add your ticker to the bottom of your posts? I am mostly interested in the number of cigarettes avoided, they add up fast!

Thank you @jillar and @KEL, I am very committed and will be here for the long haul I smoked religiously for 42 years so I can appreciate putting time and effort into remaining smoke free for the next 42 years.

Thank you @Jonny5Just having someone respond and give support means a lot to me! In only 21 days I am noticing positive effects: My sense of taste and smell has returned I can breathe more deeply and easier My hands and feet stay warmer, and I no longer need an extra blanket to sleep My plan is to stick with my plan

Hello, I am on day 21 and as my username suggests I am now entirely addicted to nicotine gum. I am very afraid of still being addicted and the thought of going cold turkey off the gum is terrifying. I bought a whole bunch of gum, enough for at least another month. I am looking for anyone to tell me they successfully stopped this way. I am committed to never taking another puff one day at a time.
