I'm off the ciggies just over 25 hours now, tough love does wonders and support does too @1964dodge @Sunspots

that's great @Petal that means you're on day 2. keep up the good work and remember i'm here if you need me...mike...

 

[1964dodge]

Haven’t had any cigs since Saturday. Don’t know whether to keep this momentum up when I go home on Saturday. Feel like I should cause quitting is good, but also I like cigs. And I know I won’t stick to it if my hearts not in it but I’m already on a roll... God I should just quit.

I hope you can quit. you are off to a great start keep it up..mike….

Been having less urges lately and havent been smoking a cig everyday rather - once every 3 days - but the anxiety is coming back, trying to hold on and break the habit of relying on them

How's it going @Sunspots @LostGirl22 @Petal @Kiwi2016

2 weeks today

It's a help that I've had a sore throat and a cough as I don't particularly feel like one.

That is so amazing @Sunspots That's quite a long time for you. When is the last time you made it that long? How're you feeling about that? I'm very happy you made it this long. Quite proud of that. Congrats.

 

[Sunspots]

Don't think I've quite got to two weeks since I started smoking again a couple of years ago.

I'm not celebrating yet but I'm quietly confident

I think that's a great place to be right now. Very good job. Brilliant, L.

 

[Sunspots]

Ok, I'll admit it. I had a slip up last week after group therapy and pinched a cigarette off of someone. But I haven't had another one. If I ignore that one it's been 5 weeks now

 

[Walker]

*closes eyes* I think you're doing great, @Sunspots That's awesome

I've quit quite a few times, just buy a gigantic bag of hard candy and eat one every time you get a craving. your tongue will be super raw by the 3rd day which isn't such a bad thing as i find the physical pain helps take my mind off cigarettes even more. don't knock it till you try it.

That's kinda what I've done, only I got a huge bag of multi-flavored mini lollipops (hard candy on a stick) to give me the hand to mouth thing too. They're separately wrapped and can be easily carried in my pocket or purse too. I also have chewing gum. I decided to quit on Thursday afternoon when I went to get another pack out of the carton and there was only one pack left. I'm a hard core long term smoker (2-4 packs a day), so I probably have both addictive and psychological dependencies. Today (Friday) at almost midnight I still have about half that pack left. I have promised myself I will not be buying any more, so...... Anyway, I'm glad I found y'all. And I must warn y'all that I usually get "cranky" for some reason when I try to stop. Hopefully that won't happen this time. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Thanks Mike. I was trying to be "diplomatic" when I used the word "cranky" -- lol! I do really appreciate everybody being so supportive.
