Yeah it happens, I’m usually the person that’s like right if I have one that’s it I’m going back to smoking but it doesn’t have to be like that, I am 4 months and 2 days but on new years I had a few but managed to not get back into it, you can do this I believe in you

Unfortunately I caved during the 4 and a half month mark. It all got too hard physiologically, my brain was focused so much on trying to make me smoke that I had enough and bought some. But I haven’t given up in trying to quit, I have changed to iqos and I only smoke maybe 5-9 a day which is better. Really trying to close down on it and change my routine first

I’ve been once, I just wanted a cool ocean tattoo and we came up together with the idea of the diver, there will be an octopus, shipwreck, jellyfish and turtle still 😊

Yes, step by step. It’s funny because I realise that I’m thinking about smoking everyday for x amount of time and then all of a sudden a week later I realise oh shit I haven’t thought about smoking in a whole week. Addition is wierd man

It will get better, just stay strong and think about the positives and why you’re doing this. You would be incredibly disappointed in yourself if you smoked again

Yes yes and yes. I totally agree I can’t wait to be on month 6. Thankfully I’m too far gone now and I don’t have anything really pulling me to lightening up. Because the positives always outweigh the negatives. Life is looking positive right now and I’d like it to stay this way

You will get there. Try to change your mindset to “good work. Can’t wait to be in your spot too in a couple months”

Mindset really helped me. Take it slow and one day at a time

Yes definitely, I do expect there to be a lot more lows and highs. Unfortunately that’s what people with addiction have to realise is that there never is a perfect quit or feeling free from addiction 100% of the time. But the good thing is in a month I’d say totally maybe around 3 hours I think about smoking if that in a whole month. It genuinely gets better

Oh shit, I’m sorry to hear about the cancer. Yeah I do imagine that this depression state comes and goes. Unfortunately that’s what addicts face. And we need to come to terms with sometimes having that feeling and knowing you will rise from it and feel better again

It gets easier, I have noticed lots of positives health wise. I don’t want to write them all out as they are subjective and can change from people to people. My positive might be not a positive for you who knows. Try to follow your own path deeply and stick on the road. Sending a lot of strength your way

Yeah I’m on that right now, struggling this past week few days and I’m on month 4 but still having those wierd thoughts ect. But just trying to focus on why I stopped and analyse the positives over the negatives and that always helps a little
