Nope, not today!

Not today.

Nope!

I already broke. I'm feeling absolutely pathetic right now.

Nope!

Hello friends, I extinguished my last cigarette about 20 minutes ago, threw all my smoky clothes in the laundry and took a cleansing hot shower. Tomorrow is a new day where I will say "no" to nicotine.

Well folks, 10 days into my quit and I succumbed once again to the seductive calling. I was feeling good about my quit. I already started jogging again and was truly enjoying the smoke-free life. This morning my kids went back to their mom's for the week and my seven day work week began and the "need" to smoke overwhelmed me. I only hope I can get through it quickly and get back to a nicotine free life again soon.

Hello friends, I extinguished my last cigarette yesterday morning and then I destroyed the rest of the pack! I feel a deeper clarity then ever before when it comes to the seductive nature of nicotine and it's terrible affects on me physically and psychologically. I'll be an addict no longer! Nope!

I failed. Yesterday started out so promising. I had a good mindset and made it through the morning just fine. Late afternoon it hit me like a ton of bricks... I don't mean to whine like some kind of helpless victim, but believe me when I say, I'm going through some really hard stuff right now. Plagued by these woes, and a sudden, very physical, irresistible craving for nicotine, caused me to cave and buy a disposable vape. I told myself I would use it at the worst times, sparingly, just to curb the strongest withdrawal symptoms. Since I got it its been very hard not to sneak in a few puffs every hour or so. In hindsight, maybe it would have helped had I reached out on this platform when the craving became unbearable.... I'll keep that in mind for next time. At the moment, however, I'm an active addict.

Nope, not today!

My friends, I just extinguished my last cigarette. Tomorrow I look forward to waking up and greeting the new day as a non-smoker.

Thank you all for your words of encouragement. I hear you! I'll keep you posted and hopefully be back very soon to announce that I've quit once again.

Hello friends, I don't really know what to say... I gave in to temptation. Life is just really ******* hard right now. I know from past experiences that adding a nicotine addiction on top of everything else is ultimately another burden to deal with, but in the moment it feels like a way to alleviate some stress. I bought a pack today and told myself I'll smoke this pack and when it's finished I'll quit again. I hope I have the strength to do so when the time comes. Four months quit and now I'll have to start over once again.

Nope!

Congratulations on 12 years quit Doreen! That's awesome.
