I quit cold turkey 18 days ago. I said that enough was enough. I said that it was now or never. I told myself the best way to have control over my life was to be in control of what went in my body. Ive learned thus far that quitting is not impossible. Its actually really easy when you value your life and body above a 4 inch stick of toxins. A craving is just that ... to crave something. it does not in any way mean that you will die without it. I crave ice cream... doesnt mean Ill die if I dont get it. I have learned that addiction is all in your mind along with anxiety. It can be controlled if you really want to be set free. When you stop and think about it logically it makes sense. I dont want to help the government make more money. Cigarettes... money goes to government. Cigarettes lead to a disease money goes to government. I have so many better ways that my money could go to. Well my rant is over. Keep on Quitting folks it gets better every single day. I promise.

At nearly 800 days since I stopped I can truly empathise with you as you work through one day at a time. I truly hope you will keep posting and dealing with your challenges. I had a great day today when I spent $139 on a new hand bag to die for. Am glad I might be around for a while and not have to die for it. Succumbing to retail therapy is far better than purchasing cigarettes. Still have in excess of $17 250 rescued from the ash tray to enjoy seeing in my bank account.
