I started pretty young and have been smoking for more than a decade. The other day I received some pretty devastating news (related to immigration and whatnot) and decided to quit on a whim, for good this time.
I had been thinking about doing so for a good minute, but I always found some type of excuse, or “this is not a good time to do so”, but at the end of the day, life is crazy and there’s always going to be something.
I quit drinking around a year and a half ago, and I think that it helps tremendously with this process as well. I cannot imagine I’d be able to be successful with this process if I was still partaking.
Anyway, I am still very cautious and vigilant regarding cravings as it is very very early still. I went out last night and actually gave in, asked for a cigarette, and thankfully the person didn’t give it to me. I kind of took it as a sign and I’m very grateful he didn’t give it to me lol. Still, it is kind of hard to picture a life going out without nicotine, but it is what it is. If you have any tips about how to deal with that specific scenario, I’d greatly appreciate it.
I feel my body is purging from the nic, and I’m coughing pretty gnarly stuff. Hopefully that goes away.
That’s it! I just wanted to share
