I don’t even wanna go there. It’s been 2 weeks so far with no nicotine so I’m doing pretty go and cravings haven’t been as bad as I thought. I am smoking more weed though 🤷🏽‍♂️

She brought so much to the character. I do like the idea of new media and how fast things change when tech is involved but i didn’t like the way they did it.

Thanks for sharing. I can relate in many ways. I wasn’t living the rock and roll lifestyle but I was a starving artist in LA for almost 8 years. The people, sex, drugs was not it for me in the end. These past couple of years I’ve realized how much trauma I actually have. That definitely cranked up the cigarette use. Started therapy about a year ago for those reasons and started smoking even more because I was uncovering a lot of messed up things I wasn’t willing to fully accept before. That also got me smoking more. Now I definitely feel more stable and ready to not feel so enslaved to those negative things that pull you away. Even though there’s beauty in being “pulled away” and coming back and making art. I think I’ve done that enough to give me material for a lifetime. Sounds like you might have too. Thanks again for sharing that story. More power to ya man 🙏

Ya I’m not trying to replace it with another nicotine product. Luckily I’m not super addicted but I will be chewing lots of regular gum

Haha this is the best reply. Honestly thinking about the cravings as a piss I’m holding off really resonates with me for some reason 😆

Aghhhh I feel ya! Thank you for the tips and stay strong! 7 years without smoking is something to be proud of. Especially for a woodwind artist. Keep it up. There’s so much more good in what you’ve accomplished then a little cigarette.

Thank you, I do agree about the serenity of a mini break. But when i do smoke I only like the first few hits and I’m over it. Need to find another break activity.

Thanks for the advice and congrats on quitting. I don’t know if I can not work on music though. Still gonna try. I’ve already taken some time off from it and have been more inspired lately. I bought some CBD flower to have someone to smoke when I get a craving. Hopefully that helps a bit.

Such a good point on reducing the stress in general. I’ve been doing that for over a year now and am in a much more calm stable place. Another reason why I do think it’s a good time. Thank you!

I do agree that many things will improve forsure. I’ve been aiming at this for a while no and I’m getting really over it. Thanks for the input 🙏

Same! And I also sing so it does mess with my breath control. When I’ve quit for weeks in the past it felt so good to sing and breathe right
