@SD2026 I guess the biggest motivation for the alcohol and weed would be my young niece. I wanted her to have one sober person in her life she can always count on to be there so I just distracted myself with taking care of her needs. People smoke weed and drink here and I just ignore them. The last day I drank I seen the amount of beer cans my sister threw away that was mine and I said wow I need to get control of this. I kinda am a all or nothing kind of person. I do stay in close relation with my mental health provider and have good support through them. I recently signed up for 1800 quit now program and they have sent me patches. My hardest times smoking would be at night and early morning when my thoughts get the best of me. Thank you for your support and reaching out. I haven't had community in a long time because of my mental battle. Figured it would be safest for me and anyone else involved. But I am growing and I no longer want smoking to be a part of my identity because I am so much more.

Gday bout time for weaning I recon…… but Mum will know best. Tough teats or tough love…..

Welcome @shy and well done on making the decision to quit nicotine! You have a lot going on what with having recently quit weed and alcohol as well, I'm assuming you're an all or nothing type personality! What coping methods are working for your weed and alcohol quit? Maybe you can apply the same for your nicotine quit. It is tough you live with someone who smokes unfortunately, it'll just mean you'll need to keep strong and focused on the reasons why you are quitting. I'm glad you're receiving medical attention for your chest/heart issues and I hope it goes ok. Regarding your schizophrenia, I'd recommend you keep in close contact with your mental health provider. You CAN do this, you just need to want it bad enough. Stay strong.

I just had my last cigarette about an hour ago. I'm nervous about quitting with my mental illness. I was diagnosed with schizophrenia about 8 years ago. One I worry about completely snapping. Two I believe I cling to cigarettes because it was apart of me when I was considered "normal" and I don't want to lose that feeling. Three I'm recently two months sober from weed and alcohol. Fourth I live with a smoker who smokes in their room and I can smell it every time she lights up. Just struggling but I need to quit because I recently experienced chest pains and had a heart monitor on for two weeks. Still in the process of finding out what's going on there. I just feel I have tremendous odds stacked against me right now. I know I'm strong enough because I know what I have accomplished mentally over the past 8 years. Just really scared. I don't want to hurt anyone or myself. Any suggestions on how to approach a quit like this? Thank you
