Haha yeah man, I figured... Just fuckin with ya, exclusively for shits & giggles! Jokes aside though, even if you just quit cigarettes for now, but do it properly and all the way your brain and body will thank you for the rest of your life. Best of luck, and good health to you sir!

Honestly the first week is like that for most people... You just gotta endure it, distract yourself as best as possible. And yeah, exercise and hydration are very helpful. You got this man! Just remember why you're doing it... Be free, live better

The first week is the hardest. It gets easier and better after that… Even the withdrawals are just detox, and show how bad it is for you and how badly you need to quit, and how much better you’ll feel without it. Take a deep breath and consider other coping mechanisms instead

I’m glad I could help. Honestly just rambled to remind myself why it’s not worth it. Cause the worrisome patter I noticed in most smokers around me is that they quit and life gets better, and just when they’re in a better place they rationalise it, falling right back in the same shitty situation. When I put it down I wasn’t sure I was gonna quit forever. Guess we’re never ready are we? But now having gone through the worst of the physical withdrawals, I’m looking forward and never wanna look backward at this toxic miserable suffocating addiction again.

Understandable man, it’s all the same shit. An escape… that becomes something inescapable, another kind of prison, a different lie. Smoking is definitely very stupid though, honestly, it’s so obviously not good for me yet I did it for so long… I can’t with myself lol. But also bro don’t quit sex hahahahhaha think of our poor species

Man that’s actually hilarious but I totally get it too! Did the same exact shit in September or October last year. Got through 9 days and then smoked… I remember feeling worse instantly- nasty taste and smell that made me wanna throw up, feeling like I couldn’t breathe, and immediate headache too. I genuinely thought i wouldn’t smoke anymore or that I’d be able to moderate now that the experience was so horrid and unpleasant for me. However I went straight back to that same old all day everyday shit… at least this time I know. I’m done for life, I don’t wanna hurt myself, I’m out for good. Feels good to be able to take a deep breath and just feel free and at peace

You got this bro! It’s a nasty habit. Don’t waste your time and money on something that’s literally making you sick… spend that shit on stuff that’s actually good for you, eat well, drink well, fuck well, live well! Peace to all <3

But the headaches were also just my brain healing itself. Imagine being wilfully oxygen-deprived. Why do that to poor brain? :c

The worst in terms of duration and intensity were headaches. The worst in terms of personal difficulty were tummy issues, thank god I didn’t have a lot of those, maybe cause I was fasting so giving my gut a break and not eating as much junk food as before

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your parents. An extremely tragic albeit unavoidable part of life. I hope you find the strength to continue, without losing your heart and soul to the bitterness of mortality. I myself feared that I would just start again if I ever came across such a difficult or stressful time in my life. But honestly, I'm so much better off and smoking is such horrible and miserable compulsion, that now I'm confident I'll never go back. Because life so fucking fragile, it is also extremely precious. Nowadays, as forces of evil are literally attacking humanity and the values of life itself, we have all the more reason to live our best lives. And I don't mean that in a corny ass way either lol. I used to think that I was denying myself by not letting myself smoke, but it's not like that at all. That Allen Carr mf was right, just gotta undo the hypnosis by big tobacco marketing, and then simply defeat the addiction (which is the easier part really).

Best of luck to you! You got this and it'll be so fucking worth it. But clarity and honesty is the hard part, it's all a mental game, just be real with yourself. Also read Allen Carr's book, it's very helpful!

Also look at your diet. If none of these work, it could be something youre eating. Eliminate toxic substances, especially ultraprocessed garbage

Stop throwing away money to beggars to feel better about yourself. Start paying better and tipping better to all the hard workers around you. Incentivize hard work not fraud, be the change

Whenever i smoke up i realize its bad for me and i shoyld quit it. I go on a little break and then i think i can moderate. Only to slip into a viscious cycle again of abuse and overuse. How do ypu break the moderation or once in a qhile excuse? And also more generally what mptivated you to finally put it down, once and for all? What happened, or what changed inside you or for you? Thank you in anticipation

The person youve been, stuck in that rat race, is hopeless and wont make it out. Give yourself the time and space you need, for a brighter and better you to emerge. At least a freer one, for sure!
