“Still” quitting smoking.

Posted in Blog

I’ve been actively trying to quit smoking for a few months now.

I’ve had a couple of total abstinence days in a row, but the past two weeks I’ve been having a cigarette or two in the afternoon and evening time. I’m good in the mornings, for some reason. I’ve always enjoyed my coffee and smoke upon waking, but it’s been harder for me to part with my after-dinner smoke. And, of course, my tension/sadness smoke.

But, down to four cigarettes a day from 20 or 30 just three months ago. That’s good, yes?

I am using a cessation aid, as well. I should have been cigarette-free two-and-a-half months ago, and I kick myself whenever a grab my pack and head outside.

I’m just looking for words of encouragement from someplace other than my adled brain.

I appreciate it a bunch 🤓

  1. I’ve not been a smoker but I feel I understand and I empathize. I have had 3 sisters smoke for years and quit. I know it isn’t easy. One used acupuncture, one used non smoking gum and the other had to quit cold turkey. It is not easy and you should be pleased with yourself that you are trying and cutting back. When I am trying to lose weight chew gum or go for a walk to distract myself. I wish I had more to offer but know people are out here rooting for you!!
