What stopping me from stopping. I genuinely don’t know what I am procrastinating. Am I addicted?
The trick is to put in on the line by realising that people who smoke secretly or knowingly want to die.
If you don’t want to die then you will do what it takes and use this motivation to quit.
Get some boiled sweets, chewing gum and when you quit keep active to keep your mind off it. The physical cravings last 2 weeks and then you’ve beaten it.
Ask yourself if you really deep down want to die? If the answer is no then go ahead and quit.
Good luck!

I only stopped tobbaco - cos i was waking up breathless in the night - and visitors were saying my flat stinked. Took me a couple of months to get used to a vape, and altho not completley safe - and least it aint got cancer causing chemicals in it - and my walls aint going yellow lol.
Actually I would enjoy a long smokinglife, life seems so empty without smoking.

I’m having hard times quitting. I already expressed myself couple times on times forum against life. I asked myself this question ‘Do I want to be dead or dying?’, and the answer comes by like ‘Yes’. And I didn’t asked myself this question just once in my life.
@anon53623539 couldn’t you just make switch to vaping? I vaped for six months, on 12 or 9 mg on two subohm vapes. It was just in the beginning that I got hooked, after couple of months I wanted to go back to the cancer sticks.

I get cravings when I am symptomatic. I feel like smoking…
Then you have to make a life that is worth living. Self discovery of what you want and don’t want, what you like and don’t like and do everything possible to do the things that you want.
I know it is hard, but there is beauty to live for. You just have to find it.

I just had recently a psychotic episode. I got 10mg olanzapine prescribed and as I came out of the episode my compulsiveness about smoking was gone. I rather went for walks, visited people, draw and write instead of smoking, but now I am in the rut of smoking again.

Nicotine is an addictive drug.
Vaping is not safe.
It was difficult for me to get off tobacco and nicotine. I had to accept help from other people to get off tobacco and nicotine.

My sz is dark sometimes, but I can go for walks in our parks again. I always wanted to join a pool, well I think now is the time again. At least I reduce the smoking. My realistic goal is 7 to 10 cigarettes a day.

I asked around for rehabilitation. I consider it again. Maybe two weeks as a jump-start in rehab.
I haven’t had a cigarette since July 3rd. I haven’t had any alcohol since June 9th… I haven’t smoked weed since January 26 2020. I’m addictions free and I feel great
