My friends, I just extinguished my last cigarette. Tomorrow I look forward to waking up and greeting the new day as a non-smoker.

I’m sorry for your hard times @Pilgrim. You nailed it when you named the core issue - addiction. You cannot bargain with an active addiction. “Just this one” or “Only a few puffs because I am so stressed”… they are not real logic. They are rationalizations. Stinkin thinkin. Find your fierce. As @Christian99 said, the only way to stop smoking is… to stop smoking. Whether you’re going cold turkey or using nicotine replacement or medication to quit, it all boils down to the same thing - refusal to smoke. One day you’ll be sick of the cognitive dissonance, the failure, the stink, the wasting money, the inability to breathe right, the chemical enslavement. One day you’ll will step off the merry go round, withdrawal be damned. You’ll defy the beast. And you’ll learn that your addiction has been skewing reality the whole time… it’s not your friend and you won’t die without it. The moment that lightning bolt hits your brain, the moment you refuse to comply… you win. Time to fight. Time to WIN, @Pilgrim.

We’ve all been there @Pilgrim. Your seat on the train is ready to welcome you back any time. There is not one thing that smoking makes better. It does not resolve conflict, bring back people we’re mourning, heal broken bodies/souls, or alleviate stress. It does not soothe a troubled mind, make us financially secure, or anything else. The only thing smoking accomplishes is to intensify the bottomless need for our next nicotine fix. A need that we can never gratify. Because 1 is too many and 1000 is not nearly enough. That is the wretched irony of addiction. But it doesn’t need to be that way. Come back soon. You CAN do this!

Please don't wait, Pilgrim: it's easy to keep delaying a quit because it doesn't feel like the right time or you don't feel as positive or confident as you think you should be. In fact, waiting for the ideal time can be a powerful form of denial--by waiting and planning and thinking, you can trick yourself into thinking that you're actually making progress. You're not. The only way to make progress is by refraining from smoking, even--perhaps especially--if you're feeling like crap. Lots of quitters say that having a positive attitude helps or is even essential to a successful quit. These perspectives have merit and definitely work for many people; however, you don't need that in order to create your lifetime quit. I was pretty miserable for awhile, ultimately trusting that I could quit myself into certainty, confidence, and happiness. That path is also available to you. You can do it, friend, and it will transform your life-- Christian99 23 1/2 Years Quit

A re-post from one of the most prolific and inspirational writers at the former Quit Net site. (Quit 4-12-03; Passed 5-20-14). A favorite so true quote I like, "Those at the top of a mountain didn't just fall there." They got there one step, one hurdle at a time. Fill yourself with wisdom (knowledge, understanding, commitment) and then begin again. It's doable. You can do it too. Believe it! ****************************************************************** "The Bumps Are What You Climb On!" From Titotiger on 11/21/2011 10:08:31 AM A little boy was leading his sister up a mountain path and the way was not too easy. "Why, this isn't a path at all," the little girl complained. "It's all rocky and bumpy." Her brother replied, "Of course it is. The bumps are what you climb on." Nobody climbs to the top of the mountain without some challenges along the way; a few "bumps" if you will. Everybody has to do a gut check sooner or later and ask themselves, "Do I really want to climb this mountain? Are the bumps along the path boulders that are going to block my way, or will I use them as stepping stones to get to the top?" You know, lots of people here have climbed the same mountain you're climbing. And many, if not most, like you have found that the path had a lot more bumps than they anticipated. Is that how you feel? And when faced with some really big bumps have you ever entertained the thought of quitting. Have you thought, "Why not take the easy way out and give up?" The answer is because you wouldn't be here unless you wanted to climb the mountain. This is a mountain you know you have to climb, regardless of the bumps. Others have climbed it and you're going to climb it too. You're determined! Remember, the bumps are what you climb on; they're actually stepping stones to higher ground. Whatever it takes and no matter what keep climbing and I'll..... See You At The Top Dave 3,145 Days Quit *******************************************************

Oh No so sorry to hear you caved in and bought a pack, yes 4 months was brilliant. You know already that they won’t help whatever is making your life crappy these days, and that you will want to quit again, if not after this pack, then very soon in the near future. I really hope you choose sooner rather than later. We are here for you .
