I used to feel extremely dull during my initial attempts to quit . Then there were times i felt really fresh too . I think its that dullness that is hard to handle . So somehow try to stay fresh . Then you can see that dullness will slowly move away

Hello Ankush , I thought your old quit was more than 6 months long . Anyway quit again as soon as possible for the sake of health . India is already sort of polluted any many ways .

Congrats Jillar , Jillar was very supportive in the past .

I am here too , i have even started going to gym 2 days ago . Spent a total of 2 hours in the gym in 2 days already . Feeling great and i have not even seen a cigarette since the last 19 days .

All these discomfort will leave if you give yourself at least a week without smoking . If i remember it right , the first week for a new person is the hardest . There will be a lot of dullness , but try to stay fresh somehow .

Juan 2 plus weeks without cigarette is a big achievement . Cigarette causes a lot of dangerous diseases , so please try to stay away . These hard times will pass The best way not to smoke is not to smoke It is important to stay fresh

The best way not to smoke is not to smoke

Congrats Juan

Good work Juan

Congrats Juan Remember all the headaches cigarettes will cause It is a good reason to stay away from cigarettes . Deal with the rest of the headaches that life gives you .

People who have stayed away from cigarettes for this long will surely know how to fight it . I think its mostly the beginner quitters who struggle the most . I am doing alright after 6 days of no smoking . That is because this is my 7th attempt after many gaps and relapses . Its not even that hard especially when you know the health related issues and headaches it causes

Good job Don't think about cigarettes too much , all those frustrations you go through could be related to something else

I love hummuse . I have been hit by a bit of high blood sugar and i changed my diet 3 days ago . No non-veg diet . nowadays i am mostly eating wheat , fibrous food and vegetables .

Thanks jillar , For me nicotine gums are very very effective . Every time i have a craving or a thought about cigarette i eat a gum and it goes away . When i run out of it for 3 or 4 days , i have that urges back again . I have no idea why some people tell me to go cold turkey instead of using gums . I have been hit by a high sugar few days ago , i was very confused . I don't know if its the gums i eat that caused it . Anyway for some more time , i am going to eat it . 3 gums a day and i don't even have to think about cigarettes . Right now i am only concerned about my blood sugar levels . Going to see a doctor tomorrow .

reciprocity , Thanks for the reply . That is a really good idea . I will eat 2 or 3 gums daily until this whole education thing is over . After that i am going to get out more and start working out in a gym . Enough sitting and staring behind a computer . I want to regain my health back

Thanks reciprocity and catlover , I have this project work to complete which is a lot of stress and i am doing it alone since its a distance education thing . Otherwise i would stop sitting in front of my computer and have done a lot more outdoor activity . This is really making me sick . I feel like eating 2 or 3 gums daily to stop the addictive urges .Please do not discourage me from eating gums . Its like something that helps me to stay focused on my studies . The studies is going to end in October , and i am very happy about it too . By the end of October i will have my Degree .

Thanks for all the replies , This is very weird , after months of suppressing and controlling it , all it takes is just one cigarette to again feel dependent on it . Just one cigarette makes you want to smoke more cigarettes . I have been stuck behind this computer following a distance education university course for the past 3 years now . The only good thing is the course will end in one more month . But this sitting , staring and studying for the past 3 years has made my overall health bad . OK , Not extending the quit date to 9/13/2019 . Doing it today itself . 9/11/2019 11:32 AM

Thanks everyone for the reply . I was a bit busy because of my exam time , my course will be over within a month , so i have a bit of high workload right now . I also learned something new today . The feeling you get after you finish a cigarette is mostly a shitty one . There is no point in depending on this crap for whatever it is .

Thanks a lot everyone for the reply . Yup , i have set my quit date . From that day on wards i will be clean once again . I am quitting again right now . I have a high work load right now . Everything should be alright within a month . Time to set up a new ticker .

@Doreensfree I have a question , i cant find a proper answer anywhere . Does eating nicotine gums increase your sugar levels ? Last time i did a blood test my sugar levels are a bit high . I have control that too now

Thanks a lot for the reply . Yes , Thank god , She is alright now . I have set my new quit date September 13 2019 , 9/13/2019 . OK , I am restarting this Quit again . I will soon put a new ticker too . I now know a lot about controlling most of these urges and triggers . Some days are plain dull no matter how hard you try .

Some conditions led to the relapse , My 3 year old Kid had a light accident , she fell from the chair and had to put stitch in the back of her head . I had to smoke after coming from the hospital . It was one of the worse days of my life . I want to restart again .

Thanks

Thanks for all the replies , That was very close , because i don't usually buy cigarettes even when i have cravings . This time i bought cigarettes , but i was able to throw it away just in time before i lighted it up .

I bought 2 cigarettes too , But then i took a bath , felt fresh ,killed the dullness and threw away the 2 cigarettes too . Somehow survived a very very dull day without smoking
