Weirdly though, now that I think of how toxic it “became” I realized it was alway

is it normal to feel super emotional after quitting? i’ve cried more in the past 2 days than the entirety of january. it’s also a big trigger for me, whenever i was stressed/ upset i would immediately reach for my vape. 

Hi Everyone! Happy Saturday!

how to make it through the weekend without wanting to start again?

24 hours smoke free and can breathe better already. 

I spent the last week listening to Alan Carr The Easy Way to Quit. 
I spent time and gave much attention to understanding his method. Replayed chapters until my brain was rewired. His method works! I am a happy non smoker after 40 years of heavy smoking! F

14 days done, I went back and read what I wrote a week 1/2 ago, brought back the panic I was feeling then. This is not a bad thing for me it's important to remember the pain as a motivator. I just read a Mayo blog self-efficacy vs self-confidence and real

Hi...I'm 8 days nicotine free and my last smoke was 11:45 on NYE. 

And, actually I know why I waited...I figured there's no point of introducing myself only to disappear a few days later, waste your time and embarrass myself.  I've tried before, but each t
