Ya, that "Cha Cha" dance can be a killer. Maybe work on changing why you thought smoking had something to offer you to entice you to go back to it and put up warning "gates" for yourself in the future. Not preaching as I went back to smoking after a year and a half quit myself so I had to really break it down to protect and change myself too. Just a thought. Congrats on 22 days and counting UP!

Don't know why you chose to speed up your chosen quit process but as always it's your personal decision, your quit. Whatever works. And yes, as you know, your body is yelling for nicotine as it goes through withdrawal. Physical symptoms but don't forget the mental part (don't listen to the negative things you may be telling yourself; kick them out of your mind). Keep your focus ahead. Your chosen tools seem to be working. You know you can do this. One hour or day at a time for now. Keep it up!

Yes I think my mind is in it this time. I still have craving and get cranky but I dont feel like I want to start again

Hey Andy, Sorry to hear about the struggles and glad to hear you got through it. Have a good weekend, JJ

Hi Andy, Thanks for the note. I'm still smoke free, 22 days and counting... I no longer have cravings, but sometimes I just keep thinking about it... Yes, we can do this, and we will do this! How are you doing Andy? JJ

Gday Smoking easy. Stick that tube of death in your mouth and light the thing. Are you ever happy … no. Now a quit that’s different. It has a special value. A value you can’t buy. A value you can’t give except to yourself. Its value grows more precious with time. My precious is my precious quit. To lose its value is as easy as 1 cig. NOPE … not one puff ever is tattooed on my very sole….

NOPE

'hop-on, hop-off' was meant as a joke

G’day NOPE .....Not One Puff Ever. Kata kjuta

Aint happening today either! NOPE!

Hi fellow quitters For whatever reason, I decided to not apply the stage 3 = 7mg patches today. Ive gone from stage 1 to stage 3 in 3 weeks, despite the advice being to spend several weeks on each stage to wean yourself off. I figured the sooner the better and was feeling confident. And ouch….my worst day by far since quitting. I have a rather stressful job, responsible for 3 factories globally and 400 employees. Today everything that could go wrong did go wrong, and at one point I sat there in my office in tears just wanting to hide somewhere and smoke away…. But I didnt. I went for a walk, drunk water, went for another walk, drunk some more water, logged in here like 300 times+ and then went home early for a nap 😴 Long story short, I didnt smoke and I wont smoke. NOPE! Im 28,683 minutes into my quit and Im NEVER going to go through this again. Tomorrow is another day, and will be a better one Thx for reading, being here, +1 sticks and everything else. Have a nice weekend Andrew

I quit for two years a long time ago and blew it when I was drinking one night. I am also back for a new quit. 😶

I stopped smoking Oct 19. Most of the time its ok but the past few days I have struggled a bit. Didn't crack but I've been a bit twitchy. So far deep breathing and thinking about the money im saving is keeping them away. We'll also I live in MA and smoked menthol. You have to find an underground store or drive to another state to get them. Lol

I read a bunch of different kinds of books. Currently I am reading a brenda novak book. I just borrowed a couple Iris Johansen and Abby Jininez books along with the perfumist of Paris by Alka Joshi. I have also read all lucy Score and Catherine Coweles books.
