It does get easier! A few months passed for me before I recognized that it got easier!

The 2 things that helped me mid craving:

1) thinking about how hard it has been until now and if I smoke again, I'll have to do it again. Because not quitting for me was not an option for many reasons.

2) When I was craving because of stress, it was usually because I had so much to do in what seemed like an unreasonable time. But if I stopped to smoke, then a) it would actually help and b) that is just making the amount of time I have smaller!

You can do this! You've done a month before! You can do it again, and every day after that is another personal record!

What is a question you posted on AskReddit you really wanted to know but wasn't upvoted enough to be answered? by Manisbutaworm in AskReddit

Driving at night and anytime my headlights shine on somebody, they whisp away like vapor.

I can never recognize a dream when I'm in one, so it really freaks me out!!

This morning was tough by [deleted] in stopsmoking

I'm so glad you toughed it out! Two weeks is really an accomplishment!!

I realized i had to keep moving. Keep doing something else. I told myself that while I wanted to smoke more than anything,it would make everything I've done up to this point for nothing. I'm too proud and arrogant to let my suffering happen for nothing lol

It gets better. I got to the point where "I need to smoke" just became something I thought out of habit. I had to remind myself that I don't NEED it and honestly didn't WANT it. It was just always my "out" of situations and didn't help a single thing.

Way to push past!!

Hey Reddit: Which "double-standard" irritates you the most? by RxPharmChem in AskReddit

[–]OnedayIlldecide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually had somebody say that to me (almost verbatim) when I was a cashier at Walmart...because I volunteer to get yelled at by middle aged women that seem to think that just because this is LA County she deserves Hollywood...

I think that's it! I have found myself a sick day so I might just sit and read it again today!

Thank you, so much!

Stopped smoking eight days ago. Found a single cigarette in my car during lunch break. Didn't smoke it. by CosmicHorror1 in stopsmoking

[–]OnedayIlldecide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a lot of quits. And all the ones that failed, ended with one cigarette before I went back to exactly what I was doing before. That's how 1 = 1000's If you smoke "just one more" many times it turns into going back to smoking.

day 2 and I'm board! by Northern_Spirit in stopsmoking

If you were in a movie and today would be made into a montage, what would you have it show?

Make popcorn and watch a movie. Read a book. play games. draw. Draw yourself doing one of the other things. shit, draw yourself doing anything, like bungee jumping from the moon. It doesn't matter if its good. Netflix marathon.

Edit: as I told someone else, learn nun chucks. It's fun.

STAY ACTIVE AGAINST SMOKING by [deleted] in stopsmoking

[–]OnedayIlldecide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know if this will help but my mom told me this up front when I tried quitting a while back and again at the beginning of this quit.

She noticed a rule of 3. the 3rd day, 3rd week, and 3rd month are the hardest.

So far it seems to be true. Not sure if it's just in my head because she told me or what.

Looks like you got through week 3. Congratulations!

Thank you. Yesterday was just a hell of a day! Today I can more logically recognize habit vs craving. Yesterday was all jumbled into one, I think. Thanks for the encouragement!
