Hello Shezi! Welcome aboard. Ever so glad you have six plus weeks off cigarettes! That is an amazing accomplishment. You spent 30 YEARS in active addiction. Referring to the above statement.... I am a bit over 6 months smoke free after 37 years of slavery and hardly ever think about it anymore. You are making a massive change. It may feel like you miss it, yet I am certain the benefits of remaining smoke free FAR exceed whatever you perceive you are missing. You got this, even when it feels wobbly. The train is a wonderful place for support, laughter and community. So glad you found your seat. Use the boards.

I agree with @jillar once you put that last cigarette out, you really have quit, at least until you light up again. Why not start your quit now? It is good to take it one day at a time but quitting for good is very doable. Focus on making it through tomorrow, or the next hour, or the next minute, etc. With time smoke free, you will see that you are much better without cigarettes. As far as your mind rebelling against the idea of not having cigarettes around, that is the mind of nicotine addiction. The key is to rid yourself of nicotine and you will adjust physically and emotionally with time to being a nonsmoker. Any early struggles are worth it long term.

Good decision Pedro and did you know that your quit starts the minute you put out your last cigarette and since you don't have any cigs left why not just start now?

Who knows how far this thread will go. I decided tomorrow I'll try a smoke free day. And I'll keep posting important info about it on this thread. This is my quittrain thread. Feel free to comment. tomorrow is first day of october. I can say for now that my mind is rebelling against the idea of not having cigarettes around (as I have none now with me). sSO this is something. a mind feeling the lack of the object.

I had to go in for prostate surgery last Thursday and was discharged over the weekend. It was nice when they asked if I quit smoking and I could answer a confident yes! It will be a couple of weeks til I feel normal. Except for a couple of "smoking dreams" during the last week, I still have no desire or cravings. Thank goodness.

Oh and this ones for pur lovely @Sazerac ... suse you would have posted this if you weren't up to ya elbows in paint.. Still remember the first time I heard this...it was o me of those songs that made me go w out the he'll is this and where have i been that i didnt know it existed..didn't just hear it, felt it.

That is great Steven. I remember a hospital stay in my smoking days - laying in bed, plotting my way to the exit so I could go have a smoke! Isn't it a wonderful feeling not being chained to those thoughts! Keep that wonderful quit going.

Because they can.......can If I think I can and I can't does that mean that if I think I will I wont?

Steven, you definitely heal faster and better if you are a non-smoker. Take it from me, it's a fact!!! Hope you feel better soon!

Outta be fun

Great to hear your Quit is going strong Steven. I wish you a speedy recovery.

Thank you, Mona Thank you, Mac

I was told by a surgeon that non-smokers heal much faster and better than smokers. My wishes to you for a speedy and full recovery!

Thanks Jillar. It is getting easier every day.

This is great to hear Steven. You're stronger than the addiction.

That's awesome Steven and you'll probably find yourself healing much faster than when you smoked! Hope you're 100% soon
