  10. @Doreensfree I know sarge is just one person who didn't need the SOS board. I just thought there was something to learn from what he had said. I know everyone's quitting experience is different. I will use the SOS board as per yours and @jillar 's advice. I did have a couple of strong cravings today as well, but just did some breathing and lived through it. Didn't search for a cigarette like yesterday. @Lilly Thank you

  12. NRT worked for me purely because my issue was more about the habit and psychological addiction than it was the physical...once I broke the back of the habit, of the psychological compulsion is stoped the gum. The nicotine side of it was much easier for me. Do I feel that NRT prolonged the angsty, early stages of my quit?...yep, if for some stupid reason I had the time over would I use the NRT again?...yep, why??? Because it worked for me... it's doesn't work for everyone, many don't need it.. but I did. SOS helps just as many as it doesn't. If you don't bother to post an SOS you'll never know if it works for you.

  15. Ankush that's amazing you fought off that crave. Well done If you want to post and SOS then do it. Living your quit by someone else's experience isn't necessary. This is your quit so do what is comfortable and necessary for you.

  16. @Lilly I suppose this is one way of looking at it. Nicotine is an addiction, but the act of smoking can be an addiction too (since that is the way Nicotine is administered into our bodies)? We all have been so used to smoking cigarettes, that the very act of not smoking cigarettes can be a brain drain at the beginning of a quit. As per my experience, when I did try NRT, it literally left a weird taste in my mouth that made me want to smoke more (with the gum), and made my ears itchy and just didn't give me the satisfaction of smoking a real cigarette (with the e-cig). That's why I gave up on NRT. I realized its just a waste of time and money for two reasons - first, it costs much more than regular cigarettes (where I come from), second it just makes me want to go back to smoking regular cigarettes and also because I realized its just a different way of administering Nicotine in the body. If its the act of smoking that bothers you, then may be you could do what Jillar did - use a straw and call it Jillar's air cigarette. I never tried it (didn't need to), but may be it will work for you.

  17. For me it's about smoking and not about nicotine. I don't crave nicotine I crave cigarettes. If quitting was just about getting off nicotine I would have 3 days of discomfort and get on with my life. It's the actual act of smoking I crave. I believe that's why NRT doesn't work for everyone and they go back to smoking. If all they had given up was nicotine their fix should be enough. Yes I want to be nicotine free but that's the least of my problems. Too much focus is put on the nicotine and not enough on the habit.

  23. Hey guys! Thank you all very much for your nonstop support. You all have had a hand in this! It has been an extremely rewarding and eye opening experience so far. I live in a different world now. I know that being sad or nervous or angry sometimes is perfectly natural. Choosing to ignore the cause and to only treat the symptom is lazy, irresponsible, and meaningless. Things that make you feel bad don't go away on their own, even if you don't feel them for a while. You always have a choice, whatever you do. You should make good ones. By the way, I still haven't celebrated properly. Been very busy with work recently. But I'll keep you posted on any developments Keep those quits people! Keep respecting yourselves! And thank you so much!

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
