❌ 🚬 One Month!
@maique congrats!! Big milestone! 🪙 this is your one month coin! keep it on your digital pocket. 😉
@maique Updates are fine, don’t worry. My wife was a smoker when I first started dating her, it’s incredibly hard to give up.
@maique that’s great, well done!
My dad came home one day and just announced he had stopped. He later joked he took up toothpicks instead. His best strategy was he’d never smoked in the bedroom and lost the desire if he went to bed. In the early weeks he went to bed very early!
@meandering Hahahahah... Thanks. It was mostly that, just announced it, and then I could not go back on my word, right? I never smoked in the bedroom either. But, if I woke up in the middle of the night, I had no issues with moving somewhere else for a smoke...
@maique Such a hard thing to quit—I’m so impressed. The longer you go, the less willing you are to give up the benefits. For me, the top life improvements:
@jean Thank you. If I had to pick a reason why I did this, the one you list in second place is the one that did it. Hearing tinyMovieStar speak about "your cigarettes", and wondering if I was going out to get more,.. That's what probably did it for me.
@maique that’s awesome! As a former smoker myself, I know how hard it’s been, but you made it over the hump. You’ve got this now! 💪🏻
@maique It still comes up for me every now and then even after 30 years smoke-free. Over time it does get easier, but there will be days that are hard. What works for me is to just take it minute by minute until the urge subsides. Eventually you think about it less and when you realize it, it’s an amazing feeling. You can do this, I promise.
@jimmitchell Thank you! I expected it to be gradual, but have felt no change whatsoever since day one. I also thought I'd be going crazy on those first days, but that didn't happen also.
@maique Heh. Yeah, the first few months totally suck. Hang with it. It’ll get better. One day you’ll realize you are a former smoker and that’s a day to celebrate.
