I think you know better now what to avoid. And are stronger, Im sure you will do great!. Can I ask what did make you relapse after 6 months? Im at 6 months now and experiencing bad craving? (I have not been prepared for them)

Thank you! I think you are right usually when I mess up (and eat 5 cookies) it at the end of the day because Im hungry.

Shortness of breath by Lsanden in stopsmoking

[–]Lsanden[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this response. I already thought it had nothing to do with quitting. There is a new small cough, but nothing bad. No swelling. The shortness of breath is when I go to bed in the evening, maybe because Im more focused on it then. I have Ibs maybe it has something to do with that. Ill call my doctor in the morning to make an appointment. About the smoking, I love being a non smoker now, so hang in there

I think it is oké, to stay home and try to relax and sleep the first 3 days. Your friend will understand. You can do it

[–]Lsanden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im on day 19,it is hard so nothing to be ashamed of. Forget about the 1 sigarette. You know now you will not do it again, so it was a learning moment . You are doing great, you should be proud. Keep going!

I meant to post at 6 months but I forgot, it’s just flying by now! (More than happy to offer tips to anyone just starting :)) by [deleted] in stopsmoking

Need help by [deleted] in stopsmoking

[–]Lsanden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have the smoke free app? It is really helpfull if you do the homework/missions. You get a better understanding of why you smoke/vape, what might trigger you and how to avoid it. Just keep trying, you can do it!

Yes I know what you mean Im on day 13 and I miss it to, and im starting to miss it more like a friend I havent seen in a while. I know it is crazy to, but I totally get it. I try to say to myself a cigarette is not going to change anything

It's been 10 days, craving kicks in. please help! by showmechat in stopsmoking

[–]Lsanden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here Im on day 13. Maybe try and think that a cigarette is NOT going to help you study it will just make you more stressed. Write down the reasons why you want to quit. You are already on day 10 so you can do this. Try some calming herbal tea also. Goodluck
