Fair warning, I’m gonna be blunt here. Not to criticize, but to support the part of you that clearly wants to quit - or else you wouldn’t be here. Nicotine addiction will justify itself in order to maintain its grip on your life. Beware of the web of lies addiction can weave to keep you trapped. As a smoker, I spun out a lot of rationalizations about how smoking was natural, spiritual, mind-clearing, something my soul would be bereft without. In hindsight, it turns out that was 100% crap. Just my excuses to keep smoking. I wasn’t drawn to a higher plane… I was a junkie hooked on nicotine the same as any junkie hooked on heroin. Every person’s journey is their own, and everyone has to come into reckoning with their addiction in their own way. So whatever works for you is great. But at the end of the day, the only way to stop smoking is… to actually stop smoking.

NOPE!

You are doing really great @Dejvis93 Onward to Day 2!

Congratulations @Dejvis93 That first day is the toughest. Keep up the great work, you are doing a great thing in quitting smoking.

@Breath-of-Power getting started is the hardest part. you body will resist change because it is wired for homeostasis. free your mind from the addiction and the body will have to follow. one thing i have found recently that helps me is to take Vitamin B3 in the form of nicotinic acid. There is a flush that goes along with it. My skin turns red and feels like it's on fire but after that goes away I'm more relaxed and I have much less mental chatter in my head. I feel like it could have made my transition to being a non smoker alot easier. Anyhow, research it, ask your doctor. It's supposed to help with addiction so maybe it could be an aid even if it's only a placebo effect. Stay strong and stay quit

Congratulations @Dejvis93! Completing that first day is the best!

My 1st day done

Sorry I’m not around just now , Just wanted to say to you both Hello and welcome . You will find the best support here xx

Welcome @Dejvis93! Quitting is possible for all of us and that applies to you as well. You just have to stick to your commitment to take another puff on the vape or a cig. It's quite simple actually but it's not easy! Nicotine addiction will play havoc with your mind in the early days of withdrawal. Some days, you just gotta grit your teeth and deny even the most difficult cravings. Even the most difficult quit never killed anyone where as smoking ...... well, that's a different story. Just make wise choices and never listen to the little nagging voice in your head that tries to convince you to have "just a few puffs". You can do it my friend!

Bump. A must read for everyone. I read it this morning. The truth that everyone needs to understand and more important, believe.
