Edy, you must be willing to change and you must be willing to honor the commitment to Not One Puff Ever (even just for NOW, one minute at a time). This is a commitment to yourself. Quitting isn't that hard, it is just the addict's voice that is lying to you. You Can Quit. We quit ! Believe just a little bit. I am glad you found us. Have a stroll through this thread 10 Ways To Effectively Use This Forum To Quit Smoking

This thread, The Weird Things I Did To Quit Smoking may be helpful. The point being is you can do most anything except smoke. Remember to reward yourself for every crave beaten, every trigger conquered this assists in re-configuring your brain. The rewards can be v. simple. A big beautiful breath of oxygen ! Gazing at something beautiful.

am I left with #1 is the lie ?

You often make me laugh, Jillar but, this is a belly wanker. Cap'n Hayley ? Sounds more like a porn star or my last mister so and so. I'll never forget what's 'is name. Sincerely, Cap't Bloodbath, lol.

Here is a pirate name generator that I was having fun with as a porn star name generator. http://gangstaname.com/names/pirate/generate?name=sazerac&data[Name][sex]=Female#.XS5cg-hKh7Y this is my transformation... Yarr olde name be sazerac. But we'll now call ye: Cap'n Blair Bloodbath. Oh, dear !

I don't want to make light of how anyone feels during their detox from nicotine but, please ! look at the big picture...you never have to go through this again and all the discomfort is temporary. Freedom is Forever.

Some of us were trying to make a change back then and still today. It blows my mind that the majority didn't/don't give a shit.

I am no different than you. We are all nicotine addicts. Understand the addiction, be willing to live through the temporary changes. Emerge a free person. We have your back. S

'they' do the same with sugar. Caffeine is another ubiquitous addictive substance. Once you understand about addiction, you are enabled to be free of it, all of it, if you choose to be.

You are no longer a slave. You quit smoking. You are more powerful than any crave or trigger. You emerge victorious. p.s. While you are foggy, find some new foggy joys. we needn't be on point all the time. S

Darling, this ain't going to happen. Please, educate yourself about nicotine addiction. Do not expect instant results, this will only lead to failure. You are on a journey. Take one moment, one crave at a time. Commit yourself to NOPE, it is the only way.

I get such a charge out of posts like yours (NO SURRENDER !!), Eight Toe Joe. YOU are fantastic ! You quit smoking ! Read all you can about our addiction and build yourself a sturdy quit. Stay vigilant, post often and tell us how you are feeling.

Welcome Eight Toe Joe, Have a look at this, The Great Smoke Free Brain Fog. The good news is that is doesn't last too long, even though it seems endless. Try short, small brain chores, like one crossword answer, not the whole puzzle, just a small bit of it. Parse the mental work that needs doing out in small increments. Do something physical in between brain work, walk around look at beauty. Like Jillar said, stay on top of your blood sugar. Drink more water. Lavish rewards on yourself.The Significance of Rewards Remember, You Quit Smoking ! You are a hero to yourself.
