    A lot of the 'depression' is one's interpretation of the withdrawal symptoms. I quit five weeks ago (30year habit), and yesterday I had a fairly bad day (subdued mood, didn't enjoy an evening out that i had been looking forward to for ages etc). But kept reminding myself its just temporary. Today woke up feeling completely different, so pleased that I didn't allow a temporary dip in mood to become a spiral of negative thoughts and bring me down

    Amazing seriously flawless. I love that she wants to help people. Especially others to understand the addiction of cravings. On top of that describes to replace certain words instead of cigarette. I'm not a cigarette smoker, every now and then I would have one, I vaped constantly and I have EPILEPSY. I drank every now and then, but today I am finally READY to quit. If you can go one day or even 30 minutes to one hour without smoking, you can do it, you're not alone, it's never too late. I haven't smoked in 2 hours maybe even 3 (time flies), but I already feel freaking great. Don't hurt yourself, don't harm yourself. This is a great strategy to persevere, not just wisdom. Keep going!! Thank you.

I will have a headace rather than having burning chest , stomach , bad breath , bad skin and yellow teeth’s. I won’t waste my money. Tbh I’m breathing so much better and I have no burns in chest and stomach. I will not be a smoker ever again.

    I started smoking around 6 years back at 25yrs old due to my lifestyle(moving to a new city for work). Before this, I was too productive and healthy by having good habits (sports, eating healthy, working hard without any boredom, and also, keeping my mind and body together). During these 6yrs, I didn't feel myself - I was instantly getting rewards by smoking and taking things easy (I just don't want this lifestyle choice anymore, I want to be like an athlete that I used to be and energetic) I have many things to do in my environment, so gonna work on it each 1by1 and get a dopamine. My life is good and grateful for everything - it's just that I don't want a stimulant...
    So, I'm gonna take a decision as Nasia said "Personal Potential - (Identity, Emotions, and Beliefs)" and QUIT!!!

Keep trying when u get a really bad craving take a strew and breath thru it slowly it relaxs the body and take vitamin C it will curb your desire...its not magic its still hard but it helped me..i am on week 5... I was a long time smoker its hard i still get nurves and psychological desires to smoke even that there is no more nicotine withdrawal symptoms...just a strong feeling that i NEED a smoke...i close my eyes and imagine my self having one of my asthma attack and its makes the desire go away...dont give in to it it passes after 10 minints. Remember u can win it. Its just a matter of will power. Dont worry just start again

I need to stop now, because i know that truly feeling good is not having to rely on a substance and having amazing physical health. I hope that my next attempt is successful and pray i find the discipline. 🙏 wish me luck 🍀

    Also remember (learnt from the easyway) that the only reason you feel stressed in first place is because of the Nicotine leaving your body from the last one. So each cig creates the need for the next. There is only one way to end the cycle... You know what to do 🙂

We all had moments of bliss no matter how small or fleeting they were. Moments devoid of any thought of external stimulants. I try to connect with that version of myself and so far it has been working, simply remembering that I had been happy without ciggarettes.

    I quit about 30 minutes ago. Impulsively. Just done with the pain in my chest, the insecurity when I try to sing. The reason I haven't stopped before is because I'm too afraid to be too intense, too much. That my emotions will flood all over the place. But its time to truly choose myself and my true self fully. Beginning is hard, its scary. I might even cry after writing this comment because it feels like letting go of a friend. But its a toxic friend who slowly drains and kills me. That makes me tear up every time I try to sing/develop my voice. Hurts my chest. Makes me feel clouded. I don't wanna be clouded or not fully here. I want to live fully. I want to be able to sing confidently and out loud. Its even scary to write this comment, because Ive said these things so many times to myself before and I'm still in therapy for my emotions. I need to do this for me. I really want to feel better and to be able to cope differently. No need to escape no more in this way.
