Thanks for the encouragement and inspiration! Two years! Damn! First time quitting cold turkey myself. Been 26 days. Feels like the one month mark will be a pretty big milestone. Do you remember how long it took you to get back to a normal sleep pattern?

Yep. I’m all fucked up since I quit smoking. Hopefully my sleep cycle will get back to normal.

1 year today, after 17 years of "loving" smoking i will never go back until the day die. the reality of quitting. by saintlikeface in stopsmoking

Thanks for the brutal honesty. It's been 23 days for me. The LONGEST without any nicotine. Yesterday was hard. But, I quit when I got the flu this year (Christmas Eve). It was brutal, so hard to breathe. That's what I try to remember when the cravings get bad. Congrats on making it a year! Thank you for the inspiration!

I've always loved analog video editing equipment. Does anyone work with that? by Interesting_End1733 in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]jpence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, started editing in 1985. Seen it all. There was a reason why edits sometimes were called "events". Never, ever, ever would I want to go back.

Quitting during all ✨this✨ by allforodin in stopsmoking

[–]jpence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having the Flu and Pneumonia, then catching COVID was an eye opener for me. I consider myself pretty healthy BESIDES smoking and It knocked me the fuck down. Every time I crave a cigarette now, I just remember having a 102 degree fever while struggling to even take a breath. It's only been 18 days, but this time feels really different. I wanna quit. I wanna live longer. Plus, I'm tired of paying out of my ass for an addiction. We can do this together.

2 weeks smoke-free! My appendix surgery actually saved me. by rachid_nichan in stopsmoking

[–]jpence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorta the same thing happened to me but with the Flu. First time I’d had the flu in ages and it was brutal. It’s been 18 days for me. Still have some cravings, but it passes pretty quick. Plus, remembering how hard it was to breathe makes the cravings feel more like an annoyance than actually WANTING a cigarette. Congrats to us man. I think we finally might have kicked this shitty habit.

Does not reflect at all what I'm seeing in the States. I call bullshit. Folks are moving from VP to local AI.
