I stayed in bed until 5 p m but at least I didn’t smoke. I am chewing the gum and feel pretty good. I guess I just can’t drink anymore, not even at my sister’s…maybe I shouldn’t go to my sister’s anymore? (she has an enticing full bar)

Realize the truth, there is no cig

Hang in their juke. Allow the cigarettes to disgust you… Don’t think about what they’ll do to your brain.
The smell in your hands and clothes. Your lungs.
I’m just waking up now at 630pm so don’t feel to bad about that.
Forget about the cigs dude.
I have faith in you.
@SoItGoes I agree. There are many things I think of as far as the negative aspects of cigarettes. I just keep dreaming of all the money I will have stopping smoking…no more poverty !!

The American Lung Association book really helped me a lot when I was quitting. You can probably pick up an unmarked used copy pretty cheaply on Amazon…
I liked the idea of rewarding myself for milestones reached. I would buy used CDs and other fun stuff each week. After one year I bought myself a new mini-stereo. It took me a couple more years to get off nicotine lozenges entirely but the most important thing was I didn’t have a single puff.

I haven’t smoked for greater than eight months. I’m happy to be free. I don’t have to answer the craving call!

Maybe your sister can put the bar away temporarily until you get through this? Or drink ginger ale-this works for some people.

thanks @bridgecomet I plan on just not drinking anymore. It’s the only time I’m really tempted to drink. I can still bartend the hot tub for everybody and that makes me happy…haha…no laughing matter though for sure. I don’t want to keep stopping smoking just to go to my sister’s and fall for that first cig.!

Are you still smoking weed? If you are then that could aid you in quitting cigarettes. Not saying you should smoke weed but I remember from a previous post that you went back to it. Catch 22 indeed. You definitely have options in a bad way, lol. If the cigs help with the weed then it could be a more economical option. Hmmm. Personally, I’m vice free so I’m happy.

thanks Kella. Yes, I am still using weed. I get it twice a month and it actually makes me want a cigarette, but I’m past it now. First day was hell but I got it now…it always amazes me since I’ve tried to stop smoking so much after the first day it’s like, “I got this”.?

I see. Well I’m wishing you the best this time. I actually quit cigs by smoking marijuana in the past while diagnosed. But I was spending all my money on weed in order for it to work. I don’t recommend. 600 dollars used to last me a month. 
I hope you eventually quit both. The more money you have the better. Best of luck.

wow, that’s what I used to spend on weed but I am limited with funds how much I can buy now so it’s much better. I spend $200 a month on weed. It’s really high grade so it lasts about two weeks each time I buy. Angie just quit her job so even my weed might be taking a break soon. Depends on whether she gets another job quickly or not. I am all for her quitting her job. Her bosses were really making it hard on her each week she went to work and she would come home upset and exhausted every day so, this is better.

When they say money grows on trees, it literally means MARIJUANA. I just inherited a couple houses and I plan to grow in one of them. If I can get some hydroponics working to create some high grade stuff, I’ll probably distribute to dispensaries. Then I could get some of my money back. I just hope I don’t get tempted to smoke. It’s a thought in progress. Don’t know how my family will react. If Angie quits her job she should be admitting resumes now. Like, she should have a job lined up already if she quits. Best of luck with that.

Things just got really messed up at her job. she is one of three women that worked at a church camp. but it’s a mega church camp. Over 10,000 people sometimes come and there just aren’t enough workers to cover that. Angie has health issues too that helped her see she needed to quit. I am confident that she will soon find another job. Anything would be better than what she had in a job there…is it legal there to grow? Are you in CO?
I’m in California. It’s legal to grow if you have a med card, up to half a pound. But no one follows the rules.
