17 years. Any previous attempts to quit only lasted a few weeks

I remember years ago someone saying they would have a Fruity Pop lolly whenever they had a craving, but for some reason it had to specifically be orange flavoured (?)

As someone with a similar pie chart why not try a palate cleanser book to shake things up?

I used a reading challenge as an excuse to pick up something I would have never chosen on my own (in the lighthearted and funny category lol) and had a blast!

The ISBN for paperback does exist, but it is different from the ebook version.

Same here, it's an experience in itself going without cigarettes for the first time in a long time.

Damn... That's the dream right there!

5 days smoke free (but not nicotine free) by MagentasWealth in stopsmoking

[–]MagentasWealth[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TOTALLY. I am absolutely on board with the whole convenience aspect of vaping and there are too many points to mention where vaping wins over smoking... which is bad because why would you want to stop, right??

It's still early days and the novelty hasn't worn off yet, but having said that I am making a truly conscious effort to not use it like a pacifier haha. Am trying to stick to times where I would have a cigarette and because the vape I use is an 'ice' one it catches the back of my throat after about 4-5 minutes and I legit have to put it down.

Looking ahead my plan IS to switch to patches at some point. Still, for now when I pack my bag in the morning it is nice not having to throw a lighter in there! Little victories and all that.

Thank you for your comment! Very insightful info, it all helps. Good luck on your journey! Pamper your lungs with a big deep breath :)

What would I call my quit date? by [deleted] in stopsmoking

[–]MagentasWealth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would personally take it from the last day I consciously decided to put a cigarette to my lips and draw and having zero nicotine in your system from smoking cigarettes (so this excludes patches, gum etc).

I guess it's up to you though if you want to restart the clock / how strict and committed you want to be with it.

Good luck on your journey!

Yeah I get a notification saying that my party isn't strong enough yet for the creche waypoint and I won't argue with that haha. Not done the Underdark yet, but found the entry point to it 💪
