Quitting general

Nicotine should only be active in the body for about 72 hours.

Disassociate yourself the hobbies you had while smoking.

I would chew and read the morning paper so I started lifting in the am.

Sitting at home on my computer and socializing with people, that's literally all I do though

They physical effects of Nicotine withdraw last for around 21 days. STFU when you know nothing about a topic.

If I relapse and say smoke one cigarette after two weeks, will I be on day 1 again in terms of overcoming the withdrawal effects?

Its really mostly a mental game. Those craving are your body returning to normal. Dont think "oh this means I need a smoke" Rather think "Hey, I feel this, this is good, it means I am finally ridding myself of this addiction. I never have to smoke again and every day will get better and better"

Quit smoking the easy way is a good book to get your mind right.

Dont kid yourself. You wont smoke just one. Its never just one.

you need to calm down, you are literally a couple days away from being free. the first 2 weeks are the hardest for quitting heroin

Day 5 here. I'm also fasting (drinking water and coffee only) at the same time, and the cravings weirdly canceled each other out. Not completely but I feel miserable and my brain can't figure out if I need food or a cig.

16ish days to go. No working out during the fast though, just sauna. And alone time reading.

I've done long fasts before but never without smoking. Hopefully it'll ease up in a day or two.

Cigarette addiction isn't just the nicotine. There are a lot of different compounds in tobacco that are added and that occur naturally, so that is part of the addiction. Also, a lot of it is psychological, since smoking is so often associated with boredom, stress and being social.

All of those things would give me cravings and eventually I took on a high stress job and then I broke down and started smoking again after a year and a half without. Now I mitigate the damage by vaping (inb4 "WE GET IT YOU VAPE").

Not saying you'll succumb to the same things that I did, but it's a matter of breaking the psychological addiction more than the physical.

I quit smoking like 2 or 3 months ago, I can't remember exactly. Here's how I did it.
> Was broke
> Too proud to ask for cigarettes all the time
> Rather spend my money on food

After a few weeks without smoking I bought a pack and the taste was disgusting. And that's it I stopped at that moment.

The only moment I crave a cigarette is when I have a good meal in a restaurant or fast food wich is rare.
