I’m giving myself until the end of this year to quit smoking cigarettes.
I will not be a smoker in 2024.
Enough already.

Hey, 100 days w/o cigs = 500k sat bounty from me to you on your honor. And remind me.
I'll get in on this. 500k from me too if you go 100 days. I'll even put it on my calendar and check in with you.
You just have to want to stop smelling like you just smoked, and nicotine gum can help you chew through the first cravings. Good luck!
Thank you, this is a really humbling journey for me but I really want to get over it. 🙏
You’ll get there 💪
The goal should be to form a negative association with smoking cigarettes. For me, I was trying to quit when my grandpa died of a heart attack. He smoked all his life and overnight my new association was “these killed my grandpa and I didn’t get to say goodbye”. Wasn’t hard to stick to it after that.
You can do it! 💪 But you have to change some habits. Eat more fruits instead of smoking. Add some workout (at least walking more). And forget that trash. It must not be an option on bad moments.
I love to smoke my organic cigs every now and then. Cigars too.
Give up alcohol before those delicious cigs.
I don’t drink that often but I smoke daily. It’s the worst thing I do as far as my health is concerned.

You can do this!
You can do it!
I quit 20 years ago
Good for you. I tried pretty much every method out there over the course of 20 years but always backslid.
Last time I did the patch and it worked pretty well, minimal discomfort from withdrawals. Clean almost a year now.
You got this!
I don't smoke, drink or take drugs of any kind. But I have in my past, and lots of it.
I have found that you can wean off of almost anything. I've never Vaped. But I hear you can gradually decrease your nicotine to zero.
That sounds pretty awesome to me. I haven't researched it. But vaping sterile saline or water might be therapeutic.
Many people do successfully cold turkey cigarettes and narcotics. It shouldn't kill you. As long as you keep your nutrition and hydration good. But I wouldn't do it. I would wean off it.
But there are a few drugs that will definitely kill you if you try and cold turkey them. Like all benzodiazepam's (Valium etc) and barbiturates. You have to slowly wean off of them or they will definitely kill you.
They say you can cold turkey antidepressants. But I've heard of many people having to be hospitalized in the throes of a so-called psychotic nervous breakdown.
Good luck..🫂
Get it done! 💪
In my experience shrooms are great at fixing addictions. They seem to be able to rewire the brain somehow. Something to consider.
