4 years is Awesome! Congratulations @Lust4Life!!!

NOPE!!!

Good morning all 11

Welcome Shezi. I think I know what you're referring to, when I started my quit I saw an ad for 1 of those "air cigarette" too, so I showed my wife and she immediately asked "If you really want to quit, why would you still want to pretend smoking?" I didn't order it, and I'm so glad I didn't because I now have true FREEDOM! If I have 1 of those air cig, I would still be mentally addicted. Take a seat and enjoy this wonderful train ride to Freedom Shezi.

NOPE!!!

Welcome @Papagoat I smoked for nearly 40 years, I quit and failed many times because of similar junky thoughts as you've stated above. This time I'm confident that it is my permanent quit because I have learned so much about the Nicotine addiction, and getting the tremendous support from members here. I now realize that all the junkie thoughts about missing smoking because I thought it kept me calm, helped me relax, helped me concentrate, filled the emptiness, etc. were all lies. I now realize that I was just simply an ADDICT who needed to feed the Nicotine addiction, which had controlled almost 40 years of my life and I'm taking it back. I treasure my FREEDOM from Nicotine addiction which helps me squash all those junkie thoughts, those perceptions, those lies. Please do yourself a favor and go educate yourself about this nasty addiction, there are a lot of great materials in the static posts in this forum and from Joel Spitzer's library as well. Obtain an understanding about this addiction will help you get rid of those junkie thoughts. By the way, A big Congratulations on your 7 months of Freedom! Treasure it!

Congratulations on your 5 wonderful months of smoke free @Mona ! Well Done!

I used to think I enjoyed smoking too, until I learned the truth about this nasty addiction. Reci really hit the nail on the head here with "Knowledge is power", once I realized that I was feeding the "addiction" and not really enjoyed smoking, I was able to kick it in the butt! Welcome @Oona , please educate yourself about the addiction and you will enjoy the ride to freedom!

Hot and Sour Soup!
