Well done @andyc941!

Hi, Diane. Destroy the smokes and throw them out. You are not pathetic for keeping them around. Just addicted. But it’s time to show the addiction who’s boss through a clear act of defiance. Flush them, crush them, bury them in cat poop, whatever. Good riddance. You deserve freedom from the bondage of addiction, freedom from the struggle, freedom from feeling lousy, freedom from the ambivalence of wanting/not wanting to smoke. You CAN do this! It gets easier if you give it time. A turning point for me in my own quit came when I got good and mad at the cravings, mad at my junkie brain spinning bullsh—t lies (like I’d never be happy or complete without smoking…just crap), mad at the tobacco companies that got me hooked when I was just a child. Find your fierce. It helps.

Diane, have you thrown away your smokes? Are all smokes out of your house?

I quit when I had dental surgery too, @Diane Suligoy. And 2.5 years later I’m still free! The first few weeks really suck. Withdrawal messes with your head and your addiction throws all kinds of tantrums. Stinkin thinkin will try to convince you that smoking will make you feel better. But it won’t, actually. Don’t give in. Use more lozenges if you have to, just don’t light up. When you get to the other side of this rough patch, you’ll be so glad and proud that you kept your quit.
