Thanks guys, still holding, sometimes even not thinking about it. Thats very good change. Closing 4 days in 2 hours approx.

It is quite amazing how brain works. Well it wasnt ready for humans to use drugs, because all brain does it to ensure we continue with this enormous intake of pleasure with minimum effort...And what we addicts are fighting again is our own surviving mechanism in brain, we are basically fighting the most difficult battle against our nature. So I have huge respect for everyone, who did actually win this battle. People who never experienced addiction will never understand.

Finishing day 3 without nicotine slowly but surely, another 12 hour shift is getting shorter. Should be done here in 3 hours and nice dinner is waiting after another 22 hours fasting with water only.

today no chewing gums with me, but drinking 3L of water and so far so good...I am quite confident to finish 3 days clean, at this moment.

last moments before closing 2 days, if I think about it, it is only 2 days. I just spent 12 hours in work and fasting from food nearly to 24 hours, cleaning properly.

So cannot wait to get home, get some tasty dinner, unwind and tomorrow again, day 3  Lets do it.

Hey, closing day 2 slowly. Just finishing my 12 hours shift as I also took side job for weekends to not go any parties and recover financially from all this nonsense.

So currenty last 3 hours to close on 2 days free !  

I know, there is also no such thing as to quit later or tomorrow...because this tomorrow and later took 12 years of my life. So lets get this done completely.

One day at a time my friend. The progression is much slower than any of us would like to see it but there are magical things happening within you even now.

3 full days without nicotine and your body is free of it. That's a start, getting that crap out of your body. It doesn't mean you won't crave it any longer but it is the first step in truly healing. The rest, the longer part of quitting, is adjusting to not connecting having a smoke or vape to almost everything you do during the day; retraining your brain so it no longer demands that vape after eating, while driving, as a reward for finishing a task ... you get the idea. That's all just repetition, over and over, day after day. It really does get easier as time passes providing you just don't smoke/vape. You don't see that now but you will if you hang in there long enough- that I can promise you!

Thank you, slowly getting through day 2, now I have 1 day and 17 hours  

Alright, I finished 1 day, now 25 hours clean. After gym and sauna it was quite difficult to not go to buy a vape but Im home, getting ready for sleep.

So tomorrow again.

Fabulous achievement @Dejvis93!

 

I love how you are focused on exercising and your morning runs. Exercise is a great way to take your mind off vaping. I also understand your difficulty in focusing at work. That;s what we call "brain fog" and it's very common amoung new quitters. It will not last for too long but yes, it make getting things done tough at times.

 

Another thing you said: "24 hours will be a reason to selebrate and then, another day! but today, I focus on now and today." That's exactly what you need to do, focus on one day at a time; sometimes even one hour at a time just to make it through a particularly tough craving. Looking too far down the road can be overwhelming so just take things a bit at a time like you're doing.

 

If you fond yourself at a loss for something to take your mind off things, there's a 'Games" page here on the site. Check it out sometime if you're looking for something to do.

 

Again; big congrats on Successfully Completing Day #1!! 

Thanks  4 hours left to 1 day

20 hours clean! Watching French open semi finals, finished 2 packs of chewing gums and getting ready for gym, I will celebrate my 24 hours of quit today in gym 8pm  Cannot wait.

Also! today is French Open ATP semi finals, so have something to watch and enjoy  I recommend to all, this will be amazing tennis.

I am on my 15 hours clan ride now. Well I am just finishing first pack of sugarfree orbit gums, I  am struggling to focus on my work, TGIF so I dont need to do much and will have a walk for some good lunch, enjoy the series and then take a nap, play some chess online..this is my plan to get through day.

Evening I want to go gym and sauna, to finish my 24 hours clean without nicotine with a good gym session would be amazing and I am ready to go!

Just to really say how significant is for me to get 24 hours clean without addiction ym addiction is extremely strong, I almost never done 1 day, failes hundreths of times..so do 24 hours will be a reason to selebrate and then, another day! but today, I focus on now and today  

2 hours clean, going to sleep and will enter day 1! so far I feel ok. The struggle will appear tomorrow morning, but I am ready!

Getting through 30 minutes, bought many chewing gums and going to do some work. Nice feeling to knowing I will not be falling asleep with my vape in hands.
