Who managed to quit smoking?

[Heart2Soul]

Congrats. on your recent efforts to stay quit!

Especially as you indicated you grew up in smoke.

Thanks, I appreciate your words of encouragement.

YW. If you did it cold turkey, all the more impressive.

to be honest I hate cold weather and I don't smoke in the house so I finally said forget it...time to quit....so it took about 2 weeks to totally give it up.

Oh so it was the winter that really drove you indoors and made you feel you could do without your inhales.

I guess my flesh has it's priorities....feed the nicotine addiction or stay warm and not get sick....lol

I guess it's also about how strong the nicotine crave was, and how strongly you were able to resist it.

This is sort of subject anyway to me is more about health that about doctrine.

I guess the need for inhales progressively diminished on a daily basis, then...

Anyone else managed to quit smoking recently?

 

[farouk]

Congrats. to any who has quit just lately...

So have you been coping okay with the cold weather lately and managing to stay smoke free?

I am doing good. The cold weather helps because I refuse to go outside and freeze just to smoke.

Maybe the warmer spring will still find you resistant to seeking those inhales? Let's hope so!

 

[farouk]

Any more quit smoking stories?

 

[farouk]

For me, angry with myself because I feel it is a willfull deed. And very ashamed because of it. I can spend 6-16 weeks in a nonsmoking environment and be fine. But, as soon as I'm somewhere I can smoke I do. What is up with that?
My doctor said she prefer I smoke instead of vape because they know what to look for, know when to look (sound of lungs, breathing difficulties), where with vaping the dangers are not known.

@Acolyte Don't beat yourself up. If you can quit or gradually cut down, great; but meanwhile don't beat yourself up; doesn't achieve much.

(Even the preacher Spurgeon smoked...)

 

[farouk]

@Naomi25 BTW, do you or your daughter think vaping would be better? (any wisdom; thoughts?)

So how's it going? are you still smoke free despite the warmer weather?

(Whatever, don't beat yourself up.)

Yessir!

 

[farouk]

Yessir!

You are doing well!

@Acolyte : Hi there; so you still smoke a few cigarettes, do you? but not too many? don't bear yourself up, anyway...
