OFF TOPIC

Been smoking a pack a day for a little over ten years now (started really young) and I haven't had one in 24 hours

. I'm not feeling too bad, just sweating a bit and been hacking but besides that not too bad. I hope I can stay strong!

Congratulations! Stick to it! If you can go 24 hours then you can go 24 more and so on and so on!

I have been trying to quit over and over and the best I can do is cut down which I have recently - but I just can't make it to cold turkey even with an eCig (nicotine crutch).

I keep saying if I could go 24 hours that is all I need - hahahah - but I mean it and I swear if I ever beat this I will never smoke again...

Keep up the good work!
- Thanks

  Never quit quitting. I smoked for decades and tried every method known. I don't think there is one method that fits everyone. I used the buddy method. I quit with a friend in my chat room. There was some sort of behavioral decision making in play I can only liken to self induced NLP. Within a day I knew for sure I was never going to smoke again. It was amazing. No withdrawals, no cravings, no bad feelings. I just no longer smoked after all those years. I wish I could just transfer that process to everyone who has tried to quit and failed. I very rarely give smoking a thought anymore but I'm also wary enough to know that with one cigarette I'd be back to a pack and a half a day again instantly.

  Congrats Jivens,
  Being consistent is necessary. If you will remain away from smoking for at least 2 months then it will be great.
  Best of Luck for the future.
  
  Thanks
