Welcome bavk @Ray1198! Good on you for making a decision to quit for good. We’re ready to support you along the way. As you know, withdrawal can be tough, but it gets better… and is so worth it. Just let those craves pass on by. Cravings are not commands, just noisy commercials for junk you don’t wanna buy. So change the channel… distract yourself with something else. If you stay strong and stay busy, you can beat this addiction! Keep us posted on how you do.

Hi guys, Hope all is well with you guys who got over this nasty habit. I have quit for months many a times but that one started a circle. I relied on the previous forum that helped me quit which I did for 9 months and then i picked up one cig. Done, I was running to the store again and I started the cycle once again. Here i am again. I remember Jillar, Johnny and a few other folks from the previous forum which is no longer there, but they were my pillars. Thank you! I wish and want to put and end to this nonsense once and for all. Also making a double whammy is I’m going to quit Alcohol as well at the same time, hand in hand. Had my last drink and smoke today at 10:30 PM US EST. When I wake up tomorrow, instead of running for a cigarette I’m going to bug you guys. So please don’t be annoyed with me, not an hour, but I’ll check in as soon as I get a craving. Great job to everyone here who quit! Amazing!

G’day NOPE .....Not One Puff Ever.... (replace Ever with Min,Hour, Day as required.)

Congratulations on your awesome quit @Mac#23, I hope you celebrated in some way

NOPE!!

NOPE!

Thank you guys! Appreciate it. Didn’t smoke since I woke up but the cravings are real bad

Welcome back @Ray1198 You are doing a great thing in quitting again. Stick around, you can do this!

Hi Ray! I am glad you are back here deciding to quit for good! I am quitting for the 2nd and final time, because who wants to go through withdrawal symptoms again, Not me!! This is what I have been telling people who are new to quitting what worked for me in the beginning days, weeks and months of my quit. I took cinnamon sticks and would pretend that they are a cigarette. I would pretend to suck in air from the stick and then make believe I am blowing it out. It really does help and it also tastes great. If you don't like cinnamon, you can use cut up straws. The 2nd thing that I have been telling people to do is stay close to this board and I am positive that every other person on here will agree with me. Vent whenever you want/need to, the more you talk about it, the more it will help you. We have people on here from all over the world so you are bound to catch someone on at all times. Do the daily Nope pledge every single day. I am quit almost 2 years and I still do it and will continue to do it, as I believe it keeps me focused. Stay close to this site for at least 3-6 months, I come on here most every day which has helped me so much. Ohh and btw, we will never get annoyed at you! We are here to support you and be proud of you with each milestone you achieve. Please don't ever think we are annoyed. In the beginning of my quit, probably up to almost a year, I would complain A LOT, especially in those beginning days and weeks. The longer you stay quit, the easier it becomes. Just don't pick up a cigarette, just don't!! Distract yourself, go for a walk, read a book, watch TV, call a friend! Anything but smoke! Good luck to you and I look forward to seeing you on here a lot! 👍😀

Welcome back @Ray1198, you know the drill so let's do it this time

NOPE for today!

nope

NOPE!!

Unfortunately @Ray1198, you're going to have to go through them to get past them BUT each one you do get past makes it weaker and weaker until it's just an annoyance. I kept tellinh myself this too shall pass and of course using my JAC. I still to this day highly recommend the air cigarette in the beginning of a quit to get you past the withdrawal and as long as you need it after. Then it's all about the habit

Congratulations Mac! 5 years is really amazing! All the best to you and thanks so much for all your help in those difficult days in the beginning of my quit!!

NOPE!!!!!

It's more like I'm checking off another day of dedication to my Quit, rather then starting the day with a pledge. Nope! -unless it's a cream puff! 😜

@Ray1198, the cravings are going to be horrible in the beginning, we aren't going to tell you that it won't. But, what we will tell you, is the longer you don't smoke, the less the cravings will become. We can promise you that! You have quit so many times and each time when you went back you had the horrible cravings! Quit now, don't go back and you won't ever get the cravings again!! Nobody was more addicted to cigs than I was, so if I can do it, anyone can!! Take my advice about the cinnamon sticks and visiting this board every day as well as every other person's advice on this forum! YOU CAN DO IT RAY!!! You really can!!!👍

Wow that's great!! It has always been my dream to go to Scotland. My husband and I had a 10 day trip to Scotland booked in June of 2020, but unfortunately the pandemic cancelled it. 😬 Hopefully, we can go one day. -6

Very Nice 🤩
