I am so glad you are starting a blog. This will help you and many other quitters. You might post on this thread also, Pre-Response to your own SOS Where, in your own words, you talk yourself out of smoking. A good thing to have in your tool box and very helpful to remind you why you quit. It also helps in our response to you. Hooray ! You quit smoking.

You are breaking up some patterns of smoking, this is excellent. You haven't set fire to a cigarette in Two Days ! Congratulations. Are you experiencing cravings from not getting nicotine ? How are you using your ecig ? Are you giving up nicotine too ? or trying to do a gradual withdrawal ? I am glad you don't smoke anymore, Debby. Hold on to your resolve.

I am so proud of you for going and facing the music, Doreen, and hope you hit the 70o/o !

Nothing changed position. I just posted a link here to the pinned thread and posted a link on the pinned thread to this thread since it is the same sort of information. More choice is always good. edited to add: Sherri L., on 13 Sept 2016 - 11:09 AM, said: " I know I never looked at those pinned posts when I came here and probably still won't" Oh, you really should ! There are many really informative pinned threads containing a wide variety of responses and they are a big part of who we are as a community.

I found this post from RobF about relapse, "Don't Be Silly, Stay Quit"

See ya soon.

Here is another thread about this Tools and Options to Beat Craves

Here is a three page thread about this with more ideas. It's pinned in Quit Smoking Discussions and called 'Your First Days, Nicotine Free. I will link this thread to that thread, too.

N O P E Rewards for Doreen

Good Health to you, Doreen. I will be thinking of you today. S

I am glad you quit and also glad you had a good day. When quitting, you must expect a certain amount of discomfort and you are going to have to do a bit of work on yourself to change your patterns and learn to recognize the lies of an addict. There is no Magic Bullet. Quitting addiction is an opportunity to get real REAL with yourself and the rewards will astound you. A question to ask is, how continuing to administer Nicotine, a drug that creates it's own colossal stress of constant withdrawal, going to help you cope with the really stressful times ? I look forward to your second smoke free day tomorrow. Don't forget, you can simply breathe through the craves. S p.s. It was good seeing you in games today, another great way to beat craves.

Cool ! What's your plan ? Are you going to quit Nicotine ? How have you prepared ? How can we help ? Education is vital. Communication is helpful. Congratulations on your excellent decision !

Damn right, Bat !! I'm going to have some nut butter and re-group.

I've been whirring up nuts or seeds in my food processor with a bit of oil and making YUMMY high protein butters, like peanut butter. No sugar, salt to taste. Cayenne, always Good. Sometimes a bit of lemon juice. I did one with fresh dill that was crazy good. Refrigerate to be safe. I buy raw or roasted unsalted organic seeds and nuts in bins from the health food store. Pumpkin Seed butter, excellent ! Sunflower Seed Butter, Sesame Seed Butter (homemade Tahini for your Hummus YUM) Those three are really reasonably priced, as are peanuts. More dosh for incredible Cashews, Pecans, Filberts, Walnuts. OMG... Pistachio Butter is DELUXE !!! Delicious butters to spread on a cracker or a slice of apple or zucchini or banana or finger. Good for your innards. Good for your brain. Really good for your taste buds.
