Hi fellow quitters

For whatever reason, I decided to not apply the stage 3 = 7mg patches today. Ive gone from stage 1 to stage 3 in 3 weeks, despite the advice being to spend several weeks on each stage to wean yourself off. I figured the sooner the better and was feeling confident.

And ouch….my worst day by far since quitting.

I have a rather stressful job, responsible for 3 factories globally and 400 employees. Today everything that could go wrong did go wrong, and at one point I sat there in my office in tears just wanting to hide somewhere and smoke away….

But I didnt. I went for a walk, drunk water, went for another walk, drunk some more water, logged in here like 300 times+ and then went home early for a nap 😴

Long story short, I didnt smoke and I wont smoke. NOPE! Im 28,683 minutes into my quit and Im NEVER going to go through this again. Tomorrow is another day, and will be a better one

Thx for reading, being here, +1 sticks and everything else. Have a nice weekend

Andrew

Gday

Smoking easy. Stick that tube of death in your mouth and light the thing. Are you ever happy … no.

Now a quit that’s different. It has a special value. A value you can’t buy. A value you can’t give except to yourself. Its value grows more precious with time.

My precious is my precious quit.

To lose its value is as easy as 1 cig.

NOPE … not one puff ever is tattooed on my very sole….

Hey Andy,

Sorry to hear about the struggles and glad to hear you got through it.

Have a good weekend,

JJ
