Profound revealation
I've been a smoker for 24years on and off always going back to smoking because of stressful situations.this attempt my insight is smoking doesn't alleviate your stress there's no quick fix to stress since this revelation my new attempt I've been smoke free for five days and feeling good that the strategies I'm using are working I'm very determined to be a non smoker and reap the benefits

Good for you Kerri, you've got this. It takes a lot for us to be honest with ourselves and realize that there are no positives in smoking and that we don't actually choose to.
Nicotine is an addictive drug and we are in essence legally accepted addicts.
As humans we are creatures of comfort and routine and smokers are masters of making excuses to justify our need to smoke.
Good for your to choosing to fight nicotine and come out a winner!
Thanks for your moral support.your so right in your comments especially being legally accepted addicts Ive been addicted to lozenges for three years now because of nicotine I'm out to get off the lozenges I don't want to be addicted to nicotine or any drug for that matter.

Good for you! I have been smoking for about 20 years. Today is day 32 smoke free. I just went down to the 14mg nrt. Lots of anxiety but I can breath and smell so much better!
