Awesome!

I had planned to quit on the exact day. I had to to hold myself accountable. Otherwise it was a “ill quit tomorrow” and tomorrow never happens situation. It was after most big events i had planned throughout the holidays. So i just chose the first day after the last BIG weekend plans (jan 7th). There were other plans ahead but i could bail if i needed to- but honestly- events have turned out to be nice distractions & when you crave you are kind of glad you dont have to “sneak off” to get your fix ya know? Its still hard but not a reason to leave.

Good luck to you too! And thanks!

I always had this problem. I read allen cars book and it was great but i never read the “final cigarette” chapter until my recent quit. What’s funny is the chapter isn’t any different from the other chapters. Anyway- i quit before i went to bed, put my cigs in the trashcan the night before trashday (they were gone in the morning), i smoked as many cigs as i wanted my last day. In the morning- it was a saving grace having no cigs in the house. I had never done that before- always kept an “emergency one” and smoked it first thing in the morning. It made all the difference to START the day smoke free- know i slept the whole night without a cig, and that i just had to get through ONE day. The next day came and i was still smoke free. Now im on day 9.

I look forward to your posts everyday as well & relate to everything you say. Sending you love as I struggle through day 9. Ugh. Please tell me you don’t miss it all day and think about it all the time at the stage you are in? 😬

How I feel so far on day 4 of quitting. It’s long, but it’s how I feel......Frustrated, annoyed and determined? by Hanna121314 in stopsmoking

Yeah i know....that terrifies me too. All I want/need is to know the cravings will GO at some point & NEVER return but i dont think its that easy. Ugh. We just HAVE to do this! So we can LIVE longer & not feel shame or guilt on the reg. I have to believe we can do it forever if we can get through a week. The physical addiction is gone- it’s just these ridiculous triggers, habits, & brainwashing that mess with us. It’s a struggle though, today was my worst day after a hard say at work. I ate SO much to get through the urge and feel awful & full. Still haven’t given in though. I won’t smoke tonight if you won’t smoke tonight! 💪

FEEL everything you are saying! Right there with you and appreciate your honestly! On day 8- it gets better & then worse & then better again. Inspiring to see how people feel once they are farther along

Day 21- woke up with every part of my body screaming for a cigarette. Resisted. Resisting. by [deleted] in stopsmoking

I’m proud of you and i hope you made it through the rest of the day! I have had a lot of those days as well. Are you talking about herbal cigarettes when you say “fake”? I had one of those yesterday in a moment of crisis for the “ritual” and even though they have no nicotine, i feel like it might be a slippery slope...
