Hi all. I've been reading posts for a while and am happy to read of everyone persevering. Gives me strength when I need it. Sometimes I need something, not sure what it is, feels confusing, empty, distant. Probably just need more time smoke free. Family would be devastated if I slipped. So I'm somewhere over 60 days and one day at a time.
Greetings butthead. Yes everyone's posts help for sure. Couldn't get there without reading everything these special people write about their own very private journey. Gives us newbies strength in adversity. Against the nicotine that we never new enslaved us with the first few drags.
I too do it one day at a time, don't count the days as that is too scary. One day is good at the end of it. The emptiness is our brains requiring another hit of nicotine - I am sure of that now. The brainwashing we gave ourselves that smoking would "cure" anything difficult. I am still trying to come to terms with that. Lied to myself that it would help. Go figure that. Addict talk.
Your family would be devastated if you slipped- yes understand that.
Butthead, do it for yourself first.
Best wishes and well done on your over 60 days. That is awesome. And keep posting. Let us know how you are going
Congratulations butthead, it is good to hear that you are smoke free, some days are really good, some not so, but we move forward one day at a time
yes well done and just keep plodding along one day at time, your doing great, you know how I know? you haven't had a smoke.
keep up the great work.

Hey Butthead - keep it up!
Anne55, thanks for reminding me of the Addict Talk. I'm really feeling at this moment its one day at a time again. I need to focus on making it to the end of the day smoke free!
