Hints and tips

Such a simple term really, until now. I have learned some new things and will share my thoughts. Words , however simple can be misconstrued. Help offered in sincerity is taken defensively. An alternative to smoking seems like a threat without communication. A compromise can be met with openness and understanding on both sides. Words must be chosen with care. A meeting of the minds must c...

Wow, I have been reading over the post, for yesterday, and things got a little crazy.. I am a big fan of cold turkey. I also understand that many can't handle it, for an assortment of reasons. Had I not been semi retired, and needed maintain any kind of production, I may not have made it. I was pretty useless for a couple weeks. I have recommended the use of a simple, disposable E-cig, with n...

Tonight we seemed to have attracted a number of vape users and supporters. While all points of view are to be respected we all have to consider all the points and decide what is the best for you as an individual as all quits are different. These four who came forward within the space of a few minutes to support each other seems strange to me. All four joined today. All four claim to be happil...

Should I throw out 3/4 pack of cigarettes or keep them nearby??? Anyone have any ideas.

Some people have thicker skin than others. Most are easy going and let things slide while others can take things more personal or literally. Thankfully I am the former and am still expressing my point of view in spite of a few (very few) disparaging remarks. If someone wants to punch me in the nose (now that's pretty personal) because I go back and read the history of a persona and try to get...

Hi everyone, I haven’t been on here for a very long time. I’ve tried so many times to give up. I need help🙁 I need motivation & support with quitting.

It is many years since I have had a cigarette and I don't want to sound discouraging but I still have moments of temptation. I must stress however that these moments are rare and fleeting these days. I have collected a number of strategies to deal with temptation and some of these have become so often used that they are now ingrained as automatic responses. Here are a couple of ideas that work...

I decided to write this because this wonderful concept, one-day-at-a-time, which has helped myself and so many others deal with drinking, smoking, over-eating, and so many simply unpleasant situations, is widely misunderstood. To many it is no more than mental trickery, a dynamic. We are kidding ourselves, really, aren't we? After all, we may say one-day-at-a-time but we really know it means f...

I don't know what I am doing differently but I am still smoke free. I get up for a couple of hours most nights. I prayed about it every day. I was so determined not to smoke over sleep deprivation. I was putting myself to bed early each night. Then I would wake up in the middle of the night. I figured if I took up smoking because of lack of sleep I would never be able to stop. Lately I have slept...
