I was craving them so much it was like a hallucinary experience for me to get at them again. My Mom got me some patches to really do the trick and make it all go away once I made my mind up: no more of it!

The love of my life pops up when I quit. It's amazing. How much more do I need to be thankful for? Doesn't life some of the time just do like that?

If you really do get all your priorities straight, then you can see that life is full of love and love is full of life. It could only get up and go up from that point on that you realize that nothing beats it once you realize you can get over anything you need to with the help of those who love you. My parents have been so much of a help. They cannot be less burdensome if they tried. I love t...

Have 471 days under my belt! Yipee. This is sort of the best that I have ever felt. It's like I feel so much self-dignification and the need for more betterment. What else can I do to try getting better? The ideas that pop up sound outstanding. I have two little projects in the wings, just dealing with words and forming correct grammatical and worthwhile sentences. It could end up helping me alot...

I find that for cravings, Listerine Total Care Zero Alcohol and Arm & Hammer Peroxicare toothpaste really lessen them. It is a wonder that these two things work so well in managing something that is outstandingly difficult sometimes; it could be more burdensome. But it is wonderful that it just stops them in their tracks. It seems like a life hack.

It came to the point that without a cigarette, I was sure that I hallucinated this whole no-more stuff. The pleasures of being without a cigarette at all for 380 days are done deal, and it feels like a new rmd. I keep trying to put in 'whole'; being smokefree anymore makes me feel whole. Now...if I can place healthy activities in my daily routine...this will be a year to remember. Not many of...

My quit story starts with one failed attempt. Three months in and I smoked another cigarette. 2017. I went to the hospital in 2019, and lo and behold, I found motivation to quit. I feel like the luckiest person in the world because I'm stupid enough for it not to sink in that it could kill me instantly. Like a stroke or clot. My Dad was the one who got to me. He said a staunch no as I beg...

Being quit makes me feel like I can accomplish anything. It is a great feeling to be free; I was a cog in the machine. I feel like it is the things I should not do are the things I am looking out for. Tjere are more than cigarettes. I am trying hard to cut back on caffeine and sugar. Soda. I could feel and look great at the end of this. I think it. I also should grow my hair out and just gener...

I found out that I am not better with them. Definitely better without. There is absolutely nothing that can come from smoking except bad health. There is no justification for why I smoked when I wasn't too shabby on the health front. Because I missed some great opportunities, I can never get back what I didn't get because of the habit. It's starting to unravel what exactly encompassed the con...

I love to eat. I have been eating and making up for not really having many cravings while I was smoking. It is glorious, and I even savor the meals. I think I taste the food and drinks better. Plus, chocolate drinks just feel good to the bone. I'm also getting back into doing some of the things that I used to be into before I really started to become a smoker. And I think as a thing I am ...
