Today is the third anniversary of my last cigarette

So three years ago today I smoked my last cigarette, a Marlboro red. That was my last nicotine, quit cold turkey.

I know a lot of you smoke, and it is so freaking hard to quit, but I’ll tell y’all that if you can pull it off it is such a liberating feeling to be done with that ■■■■. This coming from someone who just flat out loved smoking those Marlboros.

I really don’t miss it. I don’t miss having that taste in my mouth all the time, or smelling like it, and I damn sure don’t miss being a slave to my cigarettes, like needing to smoke and always concerning myself with when I will get to smoke my next one, especially at work.

I smoked over a pack a day for over two decades, but quitting was one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself.

Anyway, just trying to give words of encouragement to quit. It’s such a benefit to health and wallet.

Congratulations!

It’s a big deal.

I quit cigarettes but started vaping,

So, not exactly a win.

Proud of you, man!

Congrats man, that’s awesome.

Some just can’t get off the cigs, and it’s unfortunate.

Myself I switched to vaping, but I still had to wean myself of the ciggies.

Weaning off it never worked for me, only cold turkey worked.

Congrats!

My one year anniversary was last July 19th.

We’ll live longer for sure. Also I don’t know how I ever afforded it, it costs 300 a month, and I’m still strapped even after quitting. I am eating a lot better though.

I also quit cold turkey, the key for me was trying over and over until I had a month where nothing stressed me out. Sheer luck, took like ten tries. Once you’re a month out the cravings are ignorable.

I read the success rate is 5% which is kinda shocking though. I guess per attempt that makes sense.
