No OK , Then continue without everything nicotine related

I am feeling very happy about it too

Like i always say , In the beginning of a quit journey nicotine gums helps a lot . You can throw it away after 2 weeks too . Without the gums i would be a very uncomfortable person No i am not telling you to continuously take nicotine in one form or the other , But this is at least 10 times better than inhaling smoke and having a heavy lungs full of smoke

@Ankush , reciprocity ,BKP Thanks for the replies . Maybe this 4 months period is a mark where the body is flushing out all the toxins in the body . I am sure my body is clearing the nicotine in the body , because my breathing has improved at least by 90% . my ability to cope with stress has improved a lot too . That is what average normal life is .Full of stress , strain and lots of work .

Sorry , i forget to put a quote @Solo It will all come back once you stay away from smoking Life is a lot more things you have to do everyday . All these problems exist because you made cigarette a habit . Life is a bit miserable for most of us most of the times .Boring , Depressing etc .But when you avoid smoking you can fight all these slowly slowly without ruining your health .

Thanks for the reply everyone , I thought i had this under my control especially after 3 months without smoking . I did not know that i again had to play these mind control games . Anyway one more time , I am not touching a cigarette with a 10 foot pole ever .

I think Doreensfree post above was the problem

Depression is mostly imaginary

Thanks for the reply Lilly , That craving i suddenly had after 3 months and 26 days is gone now . Thank god for that . Now , just waiting for the monsoon and the rain to arrive . It is like my new mental block . Its my favorite season too.

Monsoon is my favorite season . After days and days of hot temperatures of the summer It was mostly Bad days Hangover of bad days and Good days I have also decided to eat less every time i eat . Not sure if this dieting plan is going to work .

Thanks a lot for all the replies jillar , lilly , ankush , doreen , linda , reciprocity , abbynormal , johnny5 Yup good days , bad days , hangover of bad days That is what i have been going through . Monsoon is my favorite season here in India . So i am waiting for it too Also planning to change the diet a bit , I was thinking about eating a bit less every time i feel like eating

Thanks for the suggestions jillar , Maybe i should watch a good movie instead . And stop listening to too much Amelie lens , which is what i have been doing from the morning today Thanks for all the quick replies , I feel better already . Its so important to talk to other people when one feels confused , Lol

Thanks for the reply Lilly , I think its probably because i am going through a lot of boredom suddenly . I have to think of ways to kill this boredom somehow .

I remember the old times when i used to smoke a lot . It always happened when the temperature was too hot This time i have to block it with all i can . Thanks for the reply jillar

Could it be the really really hot temperature outside ? Our monsoon starts in June only . So in the meanwhile its very hot temperature here . This is making me unusually tired and dull . I have a craving as a side effect of all these heat and boredom i am going through . I wont smoke but the cravings are kind of feeling strong

Thanks a lot for all the support everyone I am still smoke free In times of too much discomfort i use a nicotine gum , but that only happens once every week nowadays

@Doreensfree , @Linda Thomas Thanks for the reply Sorry for the trouble . Eating nicotine gums for me was the best way to stay away from the irritations of addiction . Yes , Nicotine addiction is a strange irritation Going cold turkey was not helping me much , I had to waste my time thinking about another 100 things to take my mind of the addiction that kept coming back . But once i made Eating nicotine gums a habit , That strange irritation of addiction went away . Nowadays i eat a pack of gums only every three or four days . That is a big improvement

What facts ? The fact that i use Nicotine gums so that i can stop inhaling smoke in my lungs ?

Sazerac ignored , There i did it . I feel better when i do not read your posts

It works for me , that is why i use it . Why is that sort of so hard for you to understand ? This nicotine gum exactly is the reason why i have not damaged my lungs with smoke since the past 3 months , Lol You talk like you know it all , Lol How does one ignore a profile in this forum ?

I do not like reading your posts Sazerac to be honest . You know why , because every one has a way to stop inhaling the smoke You have not even figured that out , Lol What do you think people come out of some factories ?

I do not have that really bad cravings anymore . One day i made a decision to kill the cravings with Nicotine gums alone . And it has been working since the past 3 months I mean every time i have a craving , I try to kill it with a nicotine gum . The cravings could be there for the rest of my life , Let it be there , I do not care . I have decided that the only thing i am going to feed my depressed mind is a nicotine gum and nothing else Good luck staying smoke free

@notsmokinjo Thanks for the reply I have clearly finished 2 months without smoking . I feel really good , there was cravings but it was not that strong . I have even managed to avoid smoking without using gums for at least 7 days . I keep buying these gums these days so that i can chew it whenever i feel really bored . One important thing i learned is that the cravings for a smoke is always there , you simply stop thinking about cigarettes .That is the best way to avoid it . I don't even think about cigarettes much these days , It does not interest me anymore , which is a really good thing . @Christian99 Thanks for the reply . Well , whenever i get bored i think of everything else other than cigarettes . Thanks for all the support

End of February too , No smoke went in . Some cravings in 2 or 3 days , i go out and eat a nicotine gum and its gone . I think it is officially over . Thank god

Thanks for the reply Linda , I am taking another break from the forums . Sometimes it so important to talk something else . I have been looking for some other good health related discussion forum too . Anyway i will be back after February . Now i know all the tricks and tools to avoid smoking
