Today i am celebrating 2weeks of smoke free lungs. 🫁
Feeling great. Like an achievement, its the longest now that i have been smoke free last time was during covid when i went smoke free for a week when i got infected.
10days today and i am feeling healthy overall, breathing is easier then before feels kinda fresh. But constantly feeling a sense of emptiness like i don’t have anything to do with my life, and what’s the point living without a kick. Not focusing on smoking but mind is f**ing me now, by constantly telling me whats the point, whats the point. And reminding me that how i used to go to these beautiful places (in my neighbour hood, a few mountains are there) just to smoke and enjoy the view, and now i have no reason, even when i am thinking to go there my mind is like what’s the point without the light kick. Please help feeling weird
I felt extremely lucky to have good friends today, we were drinking me and my friend and as i told him i am trying to quite smoking he appreciated me a lot and said he wont smoke either, but after couple of drinks in when the urges were high he asked for a smoke so i got him one, infact got one for myself as well and when he lit his he saw i had two and said “No no buddy i wont let you, not at all” and took the smoke from me and i took back in that instant and toon my nicotine gum instead and hence my friend saved another day.
Today day 10 no smoking.
I had another similar instances with a different friend who altogether didn’t smoked infact shared my nicotine gum only to support me on the journey.
God bless my friends ❤️
I am not sure if this happens with anyone else or not, but i quite smoking 5 days ago. Not smoking instead using nicotine gum to purge the urge but since last 2 days every night i have been dreaming that i am smoking, like actually lightning the cigarettes and actual act of smoking and it is always so vivid. Don’t know why this is happening to me but i would love to not have such dreams as it is really tough anyways.
I have been feeling pain in my chest for some time. It comes and goes. I smoke a lot, and lately it has increased to like 6–8 per day.
Today morning, half asleep, I decided I need to stop or accept a fate that could be much worse. I am looking for genuine ways to help, like nicotine patches or nicotine replacement, if you guys can help and support.
I have tried in the past, only to relapse after a couple of weeks. But this time I will give it my all. I will not smoke even with drinks, as drinks are the hardest time when the urge reaches its peak, and I relapse from there after.
Thanks if you read this. Any helpful suggestions are welcomed
