Not enjoying tobacco but man I am addicted. Only smoking to avoid withdrawals not for a pleasure. Time to suck it up and quit!

It has got to the stage I only smoke tobacco to stave off the withdrawals - not for pleasure. That is a pretty stark statement.

So can I ask for a little bit of support from you folks if you are able? I want to document my smoking cessation journey here. Maybe it can help other people.

I totally apologise if I make a big thing of this then relapse and smoke another cig. I just kinda feel if I make myself accountable to you guys I might have increased motivation to quit.

Thanks folks, j

Day 0 - had a ciggie at 16:03

Yeah, when you don’t enjoy a cigarette anymore,

It’s definitely time to let it go.

It wasn’t difficult for me,

But my husband really struggled.

When he started using nicotine gum it was a lot easier.

Have you considered a patch or the gum?

Yeah I think I am gonna go for gum. Have used that in the past to good effect.

You can beat this thing, @Jimbob!

Your stuff won’t smell of cigarettes anymore and your lungs will thank you.

I think you should use a reward system.

That really seems to work for me.

Get yourself a fliff purchase and only let yourself use it when you’ve reached your goal,

Whatever that is.

Hey,

Off topic,

But have you seen this one yet?

I post it sometimes,

Not as much as Fliff Night.

I’m happy to support you. I quit smoking several years ago. About how often do you smoke in order to avoid withdrawals?

Smoke every 30 minutes for 12 hours a day so around 25 cigs a day

I want to quit aswel, but it´s pretty difficult. I allways say to quit when there is tranquility in my life, but that time doesn´t seem to happen soon ever.

its not a good idea to smoke to stave off the withdrawals, you got to think about the harmful effects it will have on your body,

also if things keep going the way they are then you might need that money for other more important things.

Try smoking one cigarette less every week until you quit. That’s how I did it. I never went through withdrawals that way

You could switch to heated tobacco.

Almost 0 percent tar, no combustion but still not healthy.

I’m quitting IQOS Heets and going back to vaping soon.

But vaping only a few times a day.

Sometimes the cigarettes doesn’t taste anymore, i don’t know why, but i keep smoking. I got a vaporiser, but its not the same as smoking cigarettes and they are not reliable. I can’t imagine craving cigarettes for the rest of my little life left. Sz is hard enough to deal with on its own and cigarettes are my last pleasure i got, without them i wouldn’t be here anymore. I am not addicted to anything else, like alcohol, coffee, weed or sugar.

I switched to vaping to quit and it always works. I smoke one cigarette in the morning to get going and vape the rest of the day. I use a 35mg/ml nicotine juice in a small low wattage device and it helps me a ton. I’ve given up quitting because the nicotine really does help me.
