Well that was different.

Lol I love this thread….. in the very beginning of my quit I spent 9.5 hrs on TikTok…in one day. Said so in my screen time thingy.

Hi Leap, Just reading thru this. Lots of great advice on here! Addicts are the best rationalizers! (I don't even think that's a word is it?) It's part of the disease and very sneaky. I recognize when my mind is trying to play that game. You will know when its time. There is so much support here. Stay close.

You are absolutely right that thinking about it makes it harder. I think I need to get into the “try and if I cave, try again”. ALL of you are so supportive and empowering!

NOPE

My "go to" for that first thing in the morning cigarette - The night before, (every night) I planned a small chore (and it was something small, roughly 5 - 10 minutes) When I got out of bed, I brushed my teeth, then did the preplanned chore. It worked for me. Thinking about the quit makes it harder to start. Honestly...just do it. It's up and down, yup it's hard, but you know that going in. You will find lots of tools along the way, but if you don't start you'll never use them. Jump in. You can do it!

NOPE

NOPE!

Log on here and post NOPE. Then you can tell yourself that you're committed not to smoke for today so don't bother thinking about it. Repeat.

NOPE!

Leap .. You have had some great advice . The only way you will become a Non Smoker is ..Dont Smoke .. That first one in the morning is the worst for any quitter ..your body and brain have been starved all night for your fix .. Your a addict . There is only one way to get over this and that is to face every morning head on . This is your life..your fighting for Believe me ,getting a smoke related ilness is far worse to live with .. Lets get this done and get you to Freedom ..

Properly administered, the patch can help with the first-thing-in-the-morning craves. Right now, mornings are especially hard because you have gone all night without your fix. So you wake up in withdrawal and the compulsion to smoke is strong. Patches keep a more constant supply of nicotine in your system, which reduces the peaks and valleys a bit. They give your quit a little help till you find your bearings. There is no magic bean that will make quitting easy. Quitting takes grit. But it’s doable. We are living proof. Once you flat out refuse to smoke, so many other good things start to grow! This is an ADDICTION, which means that we will invent many excuses to keep using. We all went through that. Recognize those rationalizations and procrastinations for what they are: stinkin thinkin. Haven’t you been controlled long enough? Take the leap, and take your life back!
