We're quitters!

I always like that smell

Do you? I feel like I never really loved it even when I was *cough* around it more. Now I feel like I can smell it from houses away from mine through the window and I'm like the old hag at the window looking out "who is that? who is tthhhaatt??" shaking my finger.
However, bring on the edibles, please.

Purely medicinal, of course.

I love that smell. Reminds me of weekends with my cool older cousin when I was a kid. Good times.

Um, purely medicinal good times.

My mom's always saying she smells a skunk when she smells that, but I know better. lol

I quit again on Monday. After a massive asthma attack Sunday night, I decided it was time to give quitting another shot. I'm not sure if impulsively quitting is the way to go, but impulsive has worked for me in the past so we'll see.

I'm weird about things like this. I'm mostly afraid of failing and disappointing other people. I literally told nobody when I started smoking again last time. Nobody. I didn't want anyone to know and be disappointed in me.

I hope you are able to have a successful life long quit this time. All the best, it's well worth it

The only time you really fail when giving up smoking, is when you stop trying to give up. Keep at it and you will succeed.

Thought this was interesting regarding the use of ecigs to stop smoking. I did use one, for about 2 weeks, when I quit (and started this thread) but then dropped it because A) I didn't want to be hooked on another form of nicotine and B) it didn't give me the same happy effect as smoking did so it was easier to drop

I haven't smoked in 2 months, 1 week, 3 days and 22 hrs!

I almost forgot I quit smoking. This is good, this means I'm not thinking about it constantly anymore.

Hi sunspots how long since you last had one?

I know that some here may not believe it...but I am on Day 18 of quitting smoking. Doing the patch and Wellbutrin but admit the cravings are still there...sigh...but determined this time to make it stick...trying to think of $ saved and also think of myself as a non-smoker... oh why does this have to be so hard....

This is great to read. It is very hard but you can do it. The craving diminishes a lot after a month or 6 weeks. 🥕 Snacking on crunchy veggies helped me.

I quit 20 years ago and considering how much money I have saved is fun.

hank you for words of encouragement and also that cravings can take 4-6 weeks...so about half way there.... doing cross hatches on last pack smoked that look at every day to remind myself of the $$ have saved so far....

18 days is fantastic. As Seabird says it really does get easier. Keep thinking of the $$$

I'm now at a few days over 2 years and have saved nearly £4,000. I can't believe I used to spend that much money to smell so bad!
