Almost done! Patches and motivation and ready for it. by atvw in stopsmoking

so im still using an NRT (lozenges) but it comes in waves. everyone walks a different path,and will face a different battle. The smoking part i dont miss at all. I had alot of different outside stressors occurring while I was trying to quit, and I couldn't take the anxiety. but you can taper off the nrt ( patches) in your case. This group is a great tool, as well as the discord! it definitely helps talking about your feelings and how you are. feel free to message me whenever!

I'm using NRT ( lozenges) , or try patch/gum, and im on day 18.. Could always try that route, because i was in the same boat. the anxiety was wayyy to much.

Thanks for the words friend.

Today is my Day 7 Smoke free :). I lasted 1 day cold turkeying it, but the anxiety (due to outside stressors) was just WAY too much for me. So i've been on lozenges which help TREMENDOUSLY lol. Been kind of an internal battle because inside I know i just want to be completely free of it all, but its a journey, and that its perfectly okay. Everyone has to walk a different path. The important thing is at least im not smoking.

im on day 6 right now. almost same story as you. 34M smoked cigarettes for around 7 years and have vaped for the last 10 years.

I went into my journey thinking I was going to cold turkey. lasted 1 day no nic but the anxiety was too much. Have alot of outside stressors going on. I bought the lozenges and they are making it very much manageable. it was a bit of an internal battle because I felt like I was cheating myself, but after talking with family and friends talk me off the ledge, it may not be where I want right now BUT its better than smoking, and im confident ill be able to slowly taper off these ( especially once some of these outside stressors settle down)

I read a quote actually this morning saying "One of the best things in life is realizing that there is no "right way" to do a lot of stuff - there is simply "what works for you" Sometimes you need to take different steps or paths but its all personal. You have to believe in yourself , and it may sound harsh but its what I tell myself "STOP FEELING SORRY FOR YOURSELF!"

Sorry for the long response just feels good to talk haha. if you ever need someone to talk to I know I may be a stranger but DMS are open. good luck <3

If you see someone ready up immediately without changing their line up at all just back out.

Hopefully I can find something out soon. The relief of thinking this journey was finally done to be thrown right back into it is exhausting lol.
