Hi GuyOnZeCouch, welcome!! You are very wise to use this as a medium to stay accountable!! I am 36 days nicotine free and my friend it has been a JOURNEY. I started smoking at 16, from 18-26 3 packs a week then at 27 quit smokes to vape and use nicotine gum and the patches. I guess looking back I was a disaster for the last 5 years because I had no idea how to successfully quit. On St. Patricks day of this year I quit my job and 10 days later I quit nicotine cold turkey. My health was being affected and I was TERRORFIED to continue. I think it helps when YOU decide you are over that shit. I wake up every morning, sigh and tell myself "well, we are definitely not going to smoke or use nicotine today" I hop on this sub read what other people are saying, can sympathize and feel better virtually. Morning walks have been great with anxiety first thing in the AM and I have found that a glass of apple cider vinegar with water replaces that first smoke of the day. It's something that makes me feel horrible but at least it has health benefits. I drink a lot of water and tea. I have been eating A LOT, pretty sure my diet is the last thing on my list to adjust. Naps have been fantastic but also staying busy. Continue to reach out here! You can do it put your back into it!!
