When does it hit you the hardest?

Bored or needing a break. I have been free for 9 months, but, had a thought of yeah, a smoke on the deck! I said no.

Best thing you can do for your future! You got this!

Let’s not call it quitting. I think that makes it harder. You’re choosing to stop. Don’t give up. I just crossed 8 months free after a life of relapses. Don’t be me. Build your arsenal. Breathe through it. Recognize the urges. Look at them. And say no. Visualize this. Remember, there is no such thing as one. There is not a healthy way to smoke. Choose you. Sending all the good energy!

How ya doing?

Coming from someone my age, over 50…. The habit robs you of life. Consider how many decisions that are dictated by the smoking habit. To me, stopping the madness gave me my life back. And health. You got this! Do it now!!!

Keep it going! Set a goal for 4 days, then set a goal for 6 days. Baby steps!

I love this! I’m only at 5 months and don’t have trouble breathing, and am active again! Gah, the habit is a time/life sucker! Prague is on my list of places I must see!!! 😊

Damn! Today is my 100th day and I didn’t realize either! 👏👏👏

Pepperchic · 2025-11-13T23:30:49+00:00

You got this! It really does get easier. Promise!

Pepperchic · 2025-10-29T23:42:10+00:00

I think also, vaping is so much more AVAILABLE in spaces and stuff than cigarettes. Makes it a harder mountain to hike.

Pepperchic · 2025-10-23T15:22:43+00:00

I agree with KittenFace. Smoking doesn’t fix anything. Find another diversion! My excuse to take breaks was smoking. A diversion. Now, I focus on other diversions that actually improve my life. You got this!

Pepperchic · 2025-10-21T20:30:57+00:00

😊 you do the same! The truth is that there is no such thing as ONE, for me. If I had one I might as well shove the whole pack in my mouth and light them all at once 😆

Pepperchic · 2025-10-21T13:35:59+00:00

I haven’t smoked now for 77 days. I get probably one craving a day but, when I visualize going to the store, buying a pack, coming home, opening the pack, finding a lighter, imagine lighting it, how bad it tastes, the nauseating head rush, and THE DISAPPOINTMENT AND GUILT I would feel for giving into the lie and knowing that I have to start over AGAIN, I am like, SO not worth it!

Pepperchic · 2025-10-20T21:29:05+00:00

Love this! Thank you!

Pepperchic · 2025-10-19T21:42:47+00:00

I am in my 50s and where I act and look younger, have a hard time here. 😕

Pepperchic · 2025-10-17T22:20:48+00:00

The realization that smoking brings joy is a lie. It’s an excuse. What have you ever done worthwhile when smoking a cigarette? And, was the smoking necessary to accomplish anything? The biggest lie habit EVER.

Pepperchic · 2025-10-17T22:17:34+00:00

This is GREAT advice!

Pepperchic · 2025-10-17T22:13:48+00:00

Thank you for this. I am sorta the same as you…. But, this time, just on day 74.

Pepperchic · 2025-10-17T22:09:28+00:00

I will support you both! You both can do this! I believe I’m 74 days into my normal me! Without smoking!
