Sorry, give me time to understand.

Hitler was a maniacal madman…this is how I feel without my nicotine hit.

Oh, I got it.1515

I’m going to smoke one more cigarette from my last box, then quitting.

Today was day 12 for me. never been this far in a quit before. I went 85 days once and caught a buzz christmas night and blew it. I know now I can’t ever even entertain the thought of ever smoking again.

I haven’t tried to quit in 25 years…

I’m gonna try hard this time. Something tells me I can do this. That I’ll simply look back on my 30 year habit and say, “What was that all about?”

I can be pretty stubborn sometimes. Perhaps this character trait will serve me well in this endeavor.

Perseverance. :thumbsup:

You can do it, Patrick!

the killer cravings I ever got was first thing in the morning…yeah…that one is tough to kick…I still get a little irritated in the morning for a minute before my coffee because I don’t have a cigarette…but now it’s getting to where I just have accepted that smoking is off the table and feel rather happy about it.

Use nicotine gum or patch. Much more likely to succeed. Just a tip from a former 20yr smoker of no filters and American Spirit.

I vape at home, otherwise use lozenges. No one can see me vape…no witness to my neurosis. I used to smoke 30 cigs (pack and a half) a day…and now I can run and box and do aerobic exercise again.

That’s a good thing to get maniacal about- because quitting takes like 7 tries to actually get done…on average.

Best of luck @Patrick

Maybe taper off with the patch or those Nicorette thingies? Good luck with it, man.

Try varenicline.

I heard there’s a new med on the market which stops you from becoming a lesbian…

In 2 hours, I’ll have day 2 under my belt. But man this quitting smoking is a hard one. But I’ll keep trying to stay on the right path.

Into day 3 now of no smoking…

Sorry if I’m boring all of you with my challenge. This is a bit like when the power goes out in your house, but you keep opening the microwave to use it…but you can’t.

I’m finding this hard, but not unbearable.
