Congratulations!

Nope!

Your right @Doreensfree! I just have to take that leap and change. I want to cry already just thinking about it but I have to do this! I haven't had a cig since this morning and I'm going to keep pushing forward.

Well all that sobriety just blew up in my face. Been struggling the past week or so. I went back to drinking and smoking pot. Smh. But today is a new day and I will quit my addictions. I'm just sick and tired of being sick and tired.

Nope

This was a very good read. Very informative thank you 🙂

@DenaliBlues thank you for the advice. Your right when I think about never having a smoke again it feels so overwhelming I run to them every time. I will use your advice and try not to think of a future of never having them and think in the moment. I did quit once last year for 5 months on the gum then me and my sister got into a physical altercation and I broke down and smoked. Maybe I can combine the nicotine gum with the patch or just try the gum again.

@SD2026 I'm doing okay. I keep having to change my quit date but I had a new shipment of patches come today so I have one on and going to keep moving forward. It's just been a stressful time around here but I'm learning to navigate it and looking up coping skills of how to deal with emotions. I started my finalquit today and I will not give up. I'm anxiously waiting to tell y'all when I have 24 hours smoke free! Thank you for checking on me 😊

Nope. Not today!

I think that is one of my biggest goals with this is not smelling bad lol thank you. I still haven't been able to make it a whole 24 hours without a cigarette but I really believe I am close. I do so good throughout the day. It's early morning and late evening that get to me. Today is a new day though and I am doing this!

Congratulations! 🎉

Thank you so much! It means a lot someone out there is truly going through the same situation! You got this!

Well I wanted to give an update. The patches really haven't been working so I am going to attempt cold turkey and see if that helps. I did quit last year for 5 months on the gum. But I keep reading cold turkey has the best chance of lasting. Plus I feel like if I just get the nicotine out as quick as possible it would help keep me off. Nicotine is out of your body in 3 days. In three days it is my nieces birthday so I will be nicotine free for the first time in her life. Once again thank y'all for the help and I'm going to keep going until I can finally quit.

Congratulations! 🎉

Thank you ❤️

It's been a struggle so far but June is going to be the month I claim smoke free! Nope on the first day and every day after!

@Cbdave I love this! Thank you so much for sharing that I will definitely have to try that. All of you give such great advice! I'm glad I came to this site! 😃 And your right I feel it's patience and I have been tested for a long time with patience and I believe it was for this very moment in my life. Thank you

Gonna wake up and nope!
